Stayed 5 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Debby F. 29 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful, peaceful stay Being the first time we spent significant time in the Italian Alpines, our stay exceeded our expectations. The area and views from the property are beautiful and lend themselves to relaxing, peaceful days. The house is about an hour from major cities and the shore, so a bit out of the way if you want tour every day. The house is spacious and has plenty of room for two families with kids. There is plenty of space for the kids to play and romp and the pool will keep them busy for many hours. The house is adequately supplied and all the utilities worked well. Enrico was a gracious host bringing us local cheeses, breads, and recommending great restaurants in the area. A very relaxing, easy going Tuscan vacation. ##### Debby F. Stayed 30 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Deborah W. 28 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, location #### Mainly good Overall we enjoyed our stay. The location is stunning and peaceful with an uninterrupted view of the mountains from the garden. There is plenty of space with two sitting room areas. The kitchen/diner is cosy and great for group meals, or there is a traditional Tuscan restaurant within walking distance if you don’t want to cook. The friendly local contact responded quickly when the gas bottle ran out. There are masses of beautiful places to visit just a short drive away. However, although three of the bedrooms are fine the fourth, in the attic, is spartan and uncomfortable. It had not been made ready when we arrived, though we booked four bedrooms, and had shabby bedding and an atmosphere of disuse. Also, the swimming pool was murky due to water issues and we were discouraged from using it. It seems that it had been unusable for some time but we were only told on arrival. Vrbo should have informed us beforehand considering the pool is such a prominent selling point on the property listing. ##### Deborah W. Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 25 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Rustic Villa, stunning views. The Villa is in a beautiful location with amazing views. Perfect for exploring Northern Tuscany and the the hill villages close by. The nearest town is within a 30 minute walk, but be warned coming back is a steep up hill all the way. The Villa is rustic and tired in places. Some of the beds, pillows and linen could do with being updated but I think this is reflected in the price. Unfortunately, the weather was not the best “pool” weather, so we only used the pool a few times. Be warned the ground around the pool is a little rough and footwear here is a must. The outside table is large enough to easily get 9 people around it, but would benefit from being paved. As it sits on quite rough ground. And the bbq, whilst sturdily built, sits on its own, some distance from the kitchen. Situated halfway up the bank from the pool on a steep grassy slope. The lack of a grill to fit the bbq brickwork made the already awkward positioning an untenable proposition for it to be used. Access to the Villa is via a short mud track, off the main road, through a lightly wooded area. This is steep and the parking area is difficult to access, with two trees one either side of a short slope up to a grassed area in front of the Villa. This is made more difficult in wet weather. And you may have to consider parking outside the Villa at the top of the track. On the whole though this is a beautiful rustic Villa, with amazing views in a great location and plenty of room for several families. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 10 nights in May 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Assal S. 12 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great house with amazing view We loved the great views from the house and the pool. The common area has a great sofa, the kitchen is spacious and has everything you need. The week we went was a little rainy and cold and the house was a little cold for this weather. Everything else was nice. ##### Assal S.

A simple, rustic villa within walking distance of a great restaurant and 5 minutes drive from town. Lunch at the local is a great bargain and not to be missed. The local team of Giovanella and Enrico couldn’t have been more helpful providing support when needed and even gifts of food and Prosecco. Would recommend taking mosquito repellent in light of the non-tiled areas around the pool and dining area. In reach of Lucca, Montecatani Alto and Barga as well as a number of other hilltop towns. ##### David W.

My friends and I had a very relaxing and comfortable trip on this stunning property! The rooms were large with en suite bathrooms and the kitchen was well equipped with all we might need for our stay. The wifi was very good and extended all the way down to the gigantic pool, which we absolutely loved. The host was very friendly and helpful when we needed to replace the gas canister. Compared to the listing, the Villa was even better in person! It’s important to note that the Villa is VERY remote - if we came again we would definitely rent a car! However, the view is so beautiful that we didn’t really mind being stuck close to home. Castelnuovo is a sweet and quiet town, about 30 minutes walk down the mountain. Overall, we had a lovely time and hope to visit again some day. ##### Lily S.

De keuken is groot en van alles voorzien, het zwembad is fijn en de slaapkamers zijn allemaal lekker ruim met een eigen badkamer. Eigenlijk heeft het huis maar 1 nadeel, de ligging. Om in de grotere Toscaanse steden te komen moet je best ver rijden. Lucca en Pisa zijn wel goed te doen. Het huis heeft hele goede wifi, zeer gewaardeerd door onze 3 pubers. ##### Katja B.
