Away from it all.
Arrival instructions were clear and worked well.
One observation was that the lady who took our deposit had little English & we had basically no Italian. Thankfully her son Matteo was around and helped explain where we could park.
I was surprised that there were no suggestions as to where to shop, eat etc as is normally provided. Matteo did text me some restaurants one of which we visited twice, Il Pozzo in Pieve Fosciana.
The Villa has a large garden and a great pool, with plenty of space within.
It is rather remote with Lucca around an hour away (this is the nearest large town). There are plenty of hairpins to deal with up and down the hills to get to the Villa.
Rather disappointed with glasses available. There was ONE wine glass and one tumbler available (for 8 people) there were a number of smaller glasses, but quite a mismatch.
We enjoyed our stay but would probably look for a Villa nearer to larger towns due to the travel time taken each day.
