    Description

    Would you like to spend a relaxing couple of weeks in beautiful Tuscany? A loving, friendly large black lab mix is waiting for the right person to come and look after him whilst I have an extremely busy work schedule this month and will not have time to look after the pooch so I need someone to be a surrogate me!
    I live in a beautiful tuscan stone cottage, 6km from Lucca and immersed in green olive clad hills with a pretty stream that flows past the house down into the village. The village itself is small but has 2 super restaurants shop that also stocks The supermarkets are 5 mins by car and there is a bus service that goes into Lucca. There is also a bike here that you can use.
    The house it'self has all mod cons - ultra fast wifi, washing machine, Sky Tv (in English ) and private garden.
    There are a number of beautiful walks to be done in the hills surrounding the village and the walls of Lucca are only a 7min drive away.
