We stayed for one week, two families meeting there from the UK and the other from Germany.
We have done this a number of times over the years, in love with Tuscany, and each time we have stayed in a different property. This house is one of the best we have stayed in, it’s in a beautiful location, extraordinary views across the valley, beautiful at night actually, the pool is perfect, gorgeous gardens, many bedrooms and many bathrooms, and even two kitchens. So for the latter, the reason for this is that the house really consists of two apartments, one on one floor and the other on the floor below, but you can treat it as a normal house; in fact, the young people in our group, all the children, took the lower part of the house to themselves, and the rest of us in the top half which worked well, we always ate together in the upper part on the terrace, the beautiful terrace, compliments to the gardeners! The house is 20 minutes to Barga, 40 minutes to Lucca et cetera, I would advise not going much further at the valley in terms of distance from things, but this position is good. The villager is very pretty and very very quiet, apart from the sound of families, there is no shop I think, there did seem to be a restaurant, it’s striking how this village looks as though it’s been hewn from the mountain, somehow humans and nature in harmony, something that seems to have been temporarily lost in the modern world.
