Celle dei Puccini as a holiday destination

Positive:
+ No mosquitoes (almost - saw two in a week)
+ View from the house
+ Climate, it's a bit cooler up there and often a small breeze.
+ Almost no tourists (except for the English neighbours.
+ No mosquitoes - yes I have already mentioned that, but it's just so nice to be able to sit outside after nightfall, without getting eaten. We used absolutely no repellent (e.g. Autan) during our stay.

Negative:
- Very bad mobile signal (maybe not that important on a vacation - weigh that as you wish)
- I definitely didn't want to drive all the way up to the house, due to the fact that the road up there is very steep and twisted. It's so steep, that you shouldn't come to a halt in a front-wheel drive, if you don't want to start over.
However it's only a short walk up the hill, around 3-5 min. Th owner drove our luggage from the car to the house and back again.

Celle dei Puccini as a holiday destination

A fabulous place and a great base to explore Tuscany, Lucca and the Garfagnana. Franco and his wife are wonderful and will make sure you enjoy your stay to the full. Make sure you tap them for recommendations on restaurants and places to visit In the area. The access road is pretty gnarly
and tight but with some driving skills you will be fine to drive up to and park by the house. The bed is also unusually comfy for Italy. Highly recommended!!!!
