Podere Santa Lucia is een heerlijke plek. Het huis is super ruim, de tuin is enorm en het uitzicht prachtig. Je kijkt over het heel dal uit richting de bergen bij de zee. Volterra is te bereiken met de auto in 5 minuten, te voet in ongeveer 20 minuten (best steil omhoog). De supermarkt is heel dichtbij. En de beheerders zijn zeer gastvrij. Ze kwamen elke morgen het zwembad schoonmaken en einde dag de planten en de tuin water geven. We kregen telkens verse groenten van eigen land. Het huis is zeer ruim, met wasmachine. Let erop om een ventilator te vragen, er is er 1, mocht het zeer warm zijn. Wij hebben het zitje van de kamer boven, onder de veranda beneden gezet. Anders is het wat lastiger zitten. Wij waren met 5 personen, dat was perfect, 6 zou ook nog kunnen. Met 8-9 personen is het krap met de meubels die er zijn.
