Fico, Calci - Pisa and Valdera

A cosy villa set on a lush hilltop, Fico is a serene refuge from the busy world, just thirty minute drive from the city of Lucca. Beside it is a fully-fenced pool surrounded by wooden decking and floral bushes, and extra privacy is provided by rows of olive trees encircling the property. A stone barbecue stands next to a shady furnished pergola with a wrought iron table and six chairs. A wooden rustic-style fence surrounds the property, and a fantastic view into the valley lies just beyond it. The village of Calci is just half a kilometre away, which is within easy walking distance.

Inside, the décor is simplistic but with a welcoming and warm atmosphere. The main entrance is situated under the pergola, and leads into an open-plan lounge, kitchen and diner. Here there is an open fireplace set beside a wall-mounted TV and a set of chairs. The kitchen features a stylish circular sink, and a fridge and a freezer are both cleverly integrated into a tall cupboard. Meanwhile, the wooden dining table is situated by the window and comfortably seats six people.

Our Thoughts
This is a truly beautiful setting. Fico balances great views and location with a homely atmosphere and privacy. The pool here is a definite highlight, separated from the rest of the villa by a small fence, equipped with shaded sun loungers, and surrounded by elegant wooden decking. What’s more, it’s surrounded with fragrant floral bushes. The views into the valley are beautiful, as are the olive trees which encircle the property, and the village of Calci is within easy walking distance. What’s more, the interior is a cool and relaxing space to rest after a day of country walks and sight-seeing. A fantastic corner of the world.

Please note that the access road to the property is paved, however the last 100 - 500 m (after the gate) is a gravel steep road with a very tight bend. We recommend a high clearance vehicle and an experienced driver or to park just after the gate.

Pool
The pool area is an idyllic setting, fully fenced and surrounded by fragrant floral bushes. A set of Roman steps lead down from the pool’s edge, and there are six sunloungers accompanied by an adjustable parasol. There is also a life preserver ring for added safety, and the water is enclosed by sleek wooden decking.
Chlorine cleansed pool, measuring 11 x 5 metres with a depth of 1.50 metres. Open from mid-May to late September, weather permitting. The pool is surrounded by a safety fence.
