I have a big garden with olive trees and lots of flowers,the house is on one level, it has an entrance, a living room-dining room, a kitchen, 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Outside the kitchen there is a veranda where we dine in the summer. The distance from downtown Pisa is 7 minutes by car; there is also a bus that takes you downtown, to the station, to the sea.
