We picked this accommodation when we rather impulsively decided to go to Tuscany for our holidays this year, since they had pictures of donkeys on their website, and the views from the terrace looked stunning, paired with a very convenient location between Lucca & Pisa. We were not interested in a true hotel but in a more personal experience. But we never dared to dream about the warmth we experienced at Il Leopoldino, and I'm not only talking about the August temperatures in the afternoon.  
  
From the very moment we arrived after our long drive from Belgium, it felt like we've known the host Arianna for years already, with a very warm & sincere welcome. During the stay, we really started to feel like we were an integral part of her family.

Arianna always went the extra mile when we had questions about the region, things to do/visit,... knowing the right addresses for foods & drinks, best parking spots, nice views,... and thinking together with the guests to see what fits their desires and wishes. With Arianna, a travel guide does become an optional item. Greatly helped by the fact that she speaks decent English. 
  
The room itself, and the private bathroom, which were located in the main building, were very clean and had enough storage space to hold the luggage & clothing for 2 people for at least a week. While there was no airco, there were fans available, but the thick walls and blinds kept the heat out anyway. A detachable screen keeps the critters and mosquitoes outside, so one can sleep safely with the windows open. There is WiFi available on the property & common areas, but it didn't reach our bedroom. Not that it mattered, the e-mails can wait.   
  
Breakfast was nothing short of amazing, with each and every day a fresh pie being baked, amazing Moka coffee, and pure products that were either home-grown and -made, or sourced from local vendors. Also here she looks at the desires of the guests, and mild deviations are possible (do you want tomatoes at breakfast: if there are any ripe ones, you can have them). 
  
While the dinner-service is optional but at a very reasonable price, it is HIGHLY recommended to at least indulge in one of them during your stay. The recipes are authentic & honest, dictated by the seasons and what the land had to offer at that day, so there is no menu, you eat what the cook decides to make. Not that you should worry about that, since Arianna really knows her way around in the kitchen: she is an amazing cook.  
  
With Il Leopoldino being part of the Monte Pisano network, it is very easy to rent bikes (and for a small charge have them delivered & picked up at Il Leopoldino) to explore the neighbourhood and surrounding nature. Pisa is just half an hour cycling away. For the MTBers among us, there are a lot of challenging trails, descends & paths to explore on Monte Pisano itself.
  
Should you decide to stay at Il Leopoldino, please allow yourself the time to be immersed in it in total, and stay at least for a couple of nights. Nothing says "unwinding" like playing with the friendly dog Dana on the porch, mingling with the cats or eating figs & tomatoes straight from the plant.  
  
A lot has been written about the long and arduous journey called "the gravel driveway", and at first it indeed looks like a challenging ride that looks unfriendly for your car... but it's not that bad actually, as long as you drive a bit careful. Still not recommended though for long cars with big overhangs, as you may bottom out on some parts. But it will be fixed in the (near) future with concrete drive strips, the plans are already there.
  
All in all, it was one of the best travel experiences we ever had so far, and we'll be coming back without a doubt.

An authentic Italian experience, in the best possible way imaginable.

If you wanna feel yourself in a family this is the right place! The master of hospitality 
I really suggest this location just in the middle between Pisa and Lucca 
Have a nice stay !! Bue bye. And take care

Super!

After staying 4 days in Venice, this was a completely new relaxing experience. An holiday with a difference. We were considered as part of the family (a young couple with two young children + a very kind Grandad)) and everything ran smoothly. The view from our bedroom was olive trees, there are some animals; donkeys, goats, rabbits, cats. There are some nice walk from the hotel and it is located at short distance by car from Lucca and Pisa. Air conditioning in the bedroom would have been welcome as we did not expect the high temperatures 30-35 degree C we had at this time of the year (begin of June). We had there a wonderful holiday and we can warmly recommend it.
