Relax in Tuscany: 5 reasons to choose a farmhouse with pool near Lucca and Florence

Hello, I’m Sara and together with Emilio I take care of Terre di Cocomo, our family farmhouse between Lucca and Florence.
If you’ve found your way here, maybe you too are looking for a place to slow down, rest, and find a little space for yourself.

In this article, I want to share five reasons why choosing a farmhouse with a pool near Lucca and Florence can turn a simple holiday into a truly regenerating experience.
I’ll do it through the words of our guests, who every year remind us of what really matters: simple beauty, peace, nature, and the small details that make all the difference.

Relax in Tuscany: why choose a farmhouse with a pool between Lucca and Florence?

A panoramic pool that helps you breathe again

One of Cocomo’s most loved spots is, without a doubt, our infinity pool.
It’s not just a place to swim, it’s a terrace overlooking the valley, where green surrounds you, silence embraces you and time seems to slow down.

Many guests tell us that this is where they finally manage to disconnect.

Between art cities and real countryside life

We’re located between Lucca and Florence, two extraordinary cities that deserve at least one visit.

From here you can easily drive to Pistoia, Vinci or Collodi, or decide not to drive anywhere at all.
Some guests tell us they had made many plans… but then chose to stay: to read, to join one of our cooking classes, or simply to watch the sunset.

A real home, with genuine hospitality

We’re not a resort and we don’t want to be one.
Cocomo is a real Tuscan home, lovingly restored while keeping its original, simple soul.

The rooms are bright and each one is unique. The shared spaces are designed to be together or to be alone, depending on your mood. And the welcome? That’s on us, personal, warm, but never intrusive.

Molti ospiti ci scrivono che si sono sentiti subito a casa. Che si sono sentiti accolti, ascoltati. E che tutto, pur nella semplicità, è pensato con molta cura.

Nature, animals, and time that finally slows down

At Cocomo you’ll find olive trees, a vegetable garden, cats, donkeys, and our dog Woody.
But most of all, you’ll find a slower rhythm.
A rhythm made of simple gestures: breakfast on the terrace, picking a flower, walking with no destination.

Sometimes I see guests sitting quietly under a tree, saying nothing at all.
Every time I’m reminded that even relaxation needs time, space, quiet, and a real pause.

The luxury of time for yourself

In the end what we all look for on holiday is one simple thing: time. Time for ourselves, for the people we love, and to slow down.

At Cocomo there are no schedules to follow.
You can read, sleep, swim, cook, draw, write, stay silent or head out to explore nearby villages, knowing that when you return, this place will be waiting for you, just as it is.

If you’re looking for a farmhouse with pool between Lucca and Florence, where relaxation means simple things, genuine care and quiet beauty, Terre di Cocomo might just be the place for you.
