Les vues depuis les chambres sont splendides. L’appartement est propre et frais. C’est aussi un bon pied à terre pour faire des voyages de jour sur la côte. Attention, mieux vaut aimer la conduite dans des routes étroites et sinueuses en montagne pour séjourner dans cette villa - c’est ce qui fait le charme du retour à la villa en fin de journée. L’épicerie dans la municipalité Aulla, à 15 minutes de conduite, propose une foule de petits plats du terroir. De plus, Colette est adorable. Je n’hésiterais pas à revenir y séjourner . ##### Elisabeth L.

Es liegt an prominenter Stelle im letzten Dorf eines Ausläufers der Appeninen, bietet Ruhe und eine phantastische Aussicht.

Das Haus ist perfekt aufgeteilt. Es gibt insgesamt drei Schlafzimmer mit je einem Doppelbett, welche sich im ersten und zweiten Stock befinden. Im Erdgeschoss befindet sich das Wohnzimmer und die Küche. Die Küche bietet alles, was man für ein leckeres Abendessen benötigt. Vor dem Haus befindet sich die Terrasse und ein kleiner Garten. In diesem kann man schön entspannen und man hat einen wunderschönen Ausblick ins Tal. Die Kommunikation mit den Vermietern hat wunderbar funktioniert und auch vor Ort hat man eine Ansprechpartnerin, die bei Fragen uns immer hilfsbereit unterstützt hat. Insgesamt kann ich das Ferienhaus nur weiter empfehlen! ##### Simon G.

Kleiner Wehrmutstropfen war der nicht zu gebrauchende, verrostete Aussengrill und zu kleine Bratpfannen für zwei Personen (wir waren zu fünft). Family Künzler ##### Daniela K.

Die Abende können gemeinsam auf der großen Terrasse genossen werden. Zum Abend kann der Blick in ein naheliegendes Tal der Umgebung und auf die Apuanischen Alpen am Horizont sehr entspannend sein. Nahe des Hauses befindet sich auch ein Wanderweg, der quer durch die Gegend von Tresana und weiter führt. Wer gerne kocht findet in der geräumigen Küche einen großen Gasherd und einen Ofen, muss aber mit einer etwas kleineren Auswahl an Pfannen und Töpfen rechnen, aber es war alles da, was notwendig sein könnte. Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Urlaub und konnten diesen in der Casa Nirvana wunderbar genießen. ##### Michael G.

It being August and very busy in all the touristy places, we mostly preferred to hang out at the house as a family and enjoy the lovely space and view. ##### Rachel M.

Mooi uitzicht over de heuvels en Apenijnen. Huis is compleet en schoon met een lekker terras. Als je van een bad houdt is de badkamer prima, ben je een douche type dan is enige lenigheid geboden. Hoewel noordelijk gelegen ten opzichte van toeristische steden zijn Lucca, Pisa en Florence goed te doen. Aanrader als je van een ontspannen week houdt. ##### Michel B.

Set in the beautiful Tuscan hills, the location was just ideal for both a relaxing quiet break and for visiting the surrounding areas such as the amazing Cinque Terre along with Lucca, Las Spezia and the beautiful beaches at Marinella di Sarzana and Massa. The house itself was immaculate. 3 excellent double bedrooms, gorgeous bathroom with roll top bath and a kitchen that was just a joy to cook in. The views from the house are a joy to behold and as soon as we arrived, we relaxed immediately. Our son at the time of travel was just under 2 years old and had so much fun playing in the garden and exploring the beautiful village setting that Casa Nirvana is set in. I would highly recommend staying at Casa Nirvana and am already looking forward to our next stay there. ##### Nathan B. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Danielle 24 Sept 2014 #### A Tuscan gem We visited Casa Nirvana with our two children (7 and 12) and were taken aback by the wonderful location. Set in a tiny village in the Tuscan hillside, it was peaceful and really made us feel we were experiencing the 'real Italy' with no tourists apart from ourselves. The local residents were very friendly and the caretaker had thoughtfully left delicious local tomatoes, peaches (the size of a fist!) cheese etc so we could make breakfast after our late arrival. Having a car was a must, and allowed us to explore the beautiful and historic town of Pontremoli, La Spezia with it's chic marina and the amazing coastline of the Cinque Terre. Lucca was also a lovely surprise and the place to go for stylish shops. The house itself was very well equipped, very clean and beautifully decorated in Tuscan style. The children loved it and we discovered a fantastic outdoor Olympic pool complex 20 min away which was very well priced for whole day visits. We all really hope to visit again. ##### Danielle This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent 30 Dec 2013 #### Mountain retreat From the first point of contact until our arrival, the owner could not of been more helpful. The view from the property is just breath taking and Casa Nirvana has been lovingly renovated the photographs on the owners page although accurate do not do it justice, you have to visit to appreciate its beauty. Everything you need for a self catering holiday has been thought of and the welcome pack was much appreciated. The property is very remote (but we knew this) we enjoyed visiting Lucca, Pisa, Florence, Cinque Terre and even Lake Garda. Thanks to Colette’s (housekeeper) suggestion we also visited Pontremoli (amazing cathedral) and Bagnone. We spent our last day chilling in the garden making the most of the sun and views!! The cats gave us a warm welcome on our return to the house each evening and we also enjoyed a lovely meal at the restaurant down the hill. I would not hesitate to recommend Casa Nirvana and hope to return one day soon. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [17 Century Farmhouse with HEATED pool, games room & aircon (EXCLUSIVE USE)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Anghiari-Hotels-10-Discount-FOR-2020-17-Century-Farmhouse-With-Heated-Pool.h36354411.Hotel-Information) > > [Tenuta La Bandita](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sassetta-Hotels-Tenuta-La-Bandita.h1147278.Hotel-Information) > > [Sina Astor](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Viareggio-Hotels-Sina-Astor.h573657.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Bonanno](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pisa-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Bonanno.h1391564.Hotel-Information) > > [Toscana Holiday Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Montopoli-In-Val-DArno-Hotels-Toscana-Holiday-Village.h8330824.Hotel-Information) > > [Borgo Santo Pietro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chiusdino-Hotels-Relais-Borgo-Santo-Pietro.h4644735.Hotel-Information) > > [Hu Park Albatros Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Vincenzo-Hotels-Park-Albatros-Village.h4140576.Hotel-Information) > > [Castello di Casole, A Belmond Hotel, Tuscany](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Casole-DElsa-Hotels-Castello-Di-Casole.h5058985.Hotel-Information) > > [Camplus Firenze Fortezza - Casa per Ferie](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Camplus-Guest-Firenze.h67665965.Hotel-Information) > > [Locanda In Tuscany](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Castiglione-DOrcia-Hotels-Locanda-In-Tuscany.h13085760.Hotel-Information) > > [Palace Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Viareggio-Hotels-Palace-Hotel.h18611.Hotel-Information) > > [La Pace](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Forte-Dei-Marmi-Hotels-La-Pace.h3801865.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Mizar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chianciano-Terme-Hotels-Hotel-Mizar.h23963148.Hotel-Information) > > [Grotta Giusti Thermal Spa Resort Tuscany, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monsummano-Terme-Hotels-Grotta-Giusti-Thermal-Spa-Resort-Tuscany.h904294.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Borgo San Luigi](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monteriggioni-Hotels-Hotel-Borgo-San-Luigi.h527532.Hotel-Information) > > [Pisa Tower Plaza](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pisa-Hotels-Allegroitalia-Pisa-Tower-Plaza.h3067108.Hotel-Information) > > [Camping Village Torre Pendente](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pisa-Hotels-Camping-Village-Torre-Pendente.h6572809.Hotel-Information) > > [Eden Rock Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Florence-Hotels-Eden-Rock-Resort.h1723244.Hotel-Information) > > [Resort Capalbio](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Capalbio-Hotels-Resort-Capalbio.h2784939.Hotel-Information) > > [Agriturismo Il Casalino](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Civitella-Paganico-Hotels-Agriturismo-Il-Casalino.h24337567.Hotel-Information) > > [PuntAla Camp & Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Castiglione-Della-Pescaia-Hotels-PuntAla-Camp-Resort.h6890097.Hotel-Information) > > [Cappuccina Country Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Gimignano-Hotels-Relais-Cappuccina-Ristorante-Hotel.h1343502.Hotel-Information) > > [Tenuta Fattoria Vecchia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Scansano-Hotels-Tenuta-Fattoria-Vecchia.h24139391.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Il Castagno Wine & Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Siena-Hotels-Villa-Il-Castagno-Wine-Resort.h21339011.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Palazzo San Lorenzo & SPA](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Colle-Di-Val-DElsa-Hotels-Hotel-Palazzo-San-Lorenzo-SPA.h3474921.Hotel-Information) > > [Hu Norcenni Girasole Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Figline-E-Incisa-Valdarno-Hotels-Norcenni-Girasole-Village.h3530075.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sense Experience Resort - Preferred Hotels & Resorts](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Follonica-Hotels-The-Sense-Experience-Resort.h31888190.Hotel-Information) > > [Hu Montescudaio Village](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Montescudaio-Hotels-Camping-Village-Montescudaio.h42358598.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Hotel Royal](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Viareggio-Hotels-Grand-Hotel-Royal.h27947.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Olmi Firenze](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bagno-A-Ripoli-Hotels-Villa-Olmi-Firenze.h1441538.Hotel-Information)
