We stayed in the house for 10 days with 2 families and had the best time at the property. The surrounding is amazing and the pool is wonderfull. We all enjoyed our time very much and would highly reccomend it to others
Overall we had a good time in the property. The arrival road very narrow with many curves, definitely for good drivers. Shops are quite far (not walking distance) so to arrive with supplies. The pool is very nice, though not heated, but the temperature was tolerable (We were there in June). If you look for stand alone home without neighbours around with nice view it is the place.
Amazing location! Amazing house! Amazing pool area! ❤️
The current pictures does not do the property justice.
The house, pool and view are even more amazing than the pictures.
We were very happily surprised.
Danilo, the host who welcomed us when we arrived, were so helpful and nice 😊
The road down to the house is a bit ‘exciting’, but it is absolutely worth it.
Would stay there again, 100% 👍
Stunning area and high location of property means the views are amazing. The house is also nice and was very clean but the utilities seemed tired - fridge light and toaster didn’t work as an example. There was also no seating on the balcony area at all, and no air con meaning all the shutters were down on our arrival and it was just pretty dark and musty. This wouldn’t be an issue if you were travelling in the cooler months.
I had understood that the property is set in 5 acres so had brought ball games for kids to run around but that really wasn’t possible - the land includes steep mountain sides. But if you have older children or just adults, then there’s ample room. There is also a decent size drive, it’s gated and the pool and outdoor area is fantastic. Better than the pictures. It really is a stunning location!!
Finally, just to note that the road to the property is incredibly tight, steep and not for the faint hearted. Our hire car simply couldn’t handle it and we got stuck rendering us parking on the mountain roadside and walking down until we could get back to the airport to hire a more powerful engined car.
Host was easily contactable but not especially friendly or interested in making our stay welcome; ran us around the house in such quick fashion and said she would text us things to do in area but didn’t. A little more welcoming could have gone a long way. Cleaners on the other hand were incredibly nice!
Ein sehr schönes Haus mit super Ausblick und tollem Pool. Die Bilder in der Beschreibung sind nicht aktuell. Der Pool und die Poolterrasse sind neu gestaltet und noch schöner!Wir haben dort sehr schöne Tage mit der Familie (drei Generationen) verbracht. Die Lage ist abgeschieden und deshalb schön ruhig. Genau das Richtige für einen erholsamen Urlaub. Das Haus ist sehr sauber und gut ausgestattet. Wünschenswert wäre höchstens ein kleiner Couchtisch und eine Sitzmöglichkeit direkt am Haus für die Mahlzeiten. Aktuell gibt es nur eine überdachte Bank am Pool. Die Zimmer sind gut ausgestattet und die Betten bequem. Die Gastgeberin Sofia war sehr nett und telefonisch auch gut erreichbar. Wir mussten aber auch einen Tag vorher nach den Check in Details fragen.Empfehlen können wir auch das Restaurant Villa Aurora (unterhalb des Hauses) und einen Ausflug nach Lucca.In Bagni di Lucca (ca. 15 min. Fahrt) gibt es einige Supermärkte, wie Penny und mehrmals pro Woche einen Markt mit frischem Obst und Gemüse, wo man sich gut bevorraten kann, um sich im Haus selbst zu versorgen. Das Haus liegt in den Bergen, die Zufahrt zum Haus ist wirklich etwas abendteuerlich, aber gut machbar. Ohne Auto ist das Haus jedoch nicht zu empfehlen.Wir haben uns dort sehr wohl gefühlt und können es nur weiter empfehlen!

Toller Urlaub mit kleinen Mängeln
Tolles Haus auf tollem Grundstück.
Wahnsinnig schöner Poolbereich.
Sonnenschirme aber zu wenig. Schattenplätze sind schwer zu finden.
Die Anfahrt zum Grundstück ist abenteuerlich, erst ein ganzes Stück bergauf, dann durch den Wald steil bergab. Für geübte Autofahrer machbar, für ungeübte eine Mutprobe!
Man ist sehr abgeschieden, das sollte einem klar sein. Einkaufen etc. dauert alles seine Zeit. Es lässt sich in der Küche und am Grill gut vorbereiten und kochen.
Die Aussicht ist jeden Tag aufs Neue wunderbar.
Die Kommunikation mit der Vermieterin ist leider schwerfällig und vieles war nicht klar vermittelt wie beispielsweise die Müllorganisation. Hier braucht es unbedingt bessere Hinweise. Ein Staubsauger im Haus wäre auch schön gewesen.
Wir hatten insgesamt einen schönen Aufenthalt mit ein paar Schwächen.

Sommerferie i Toscana
Super sted med super beliggenhed, dejligt isoleret fra alt, så man har den smukke natur og stilheden helt for sig selv.
Men skal finde ud af meget selv, da der ikke er en “velkomsttale” i huset og udlejer ikke informerede os om noget, hvilket er lidt frustrerende, og kostede os en bøde på 100€.
Vi havde dog på trods af dette en super tur og kunne sagtens finde på at booke dette sted igen!
Fint hus med fantastisk utsikt och helt underbar pool! Man måste ha tillgång till bil och var en erfaren chaufför!!! Sofia Francesca var lite svår att få kontakt med via mejl och till sista stunden viste vi inte riktigt, var huset ligger, vilket skapade osäkerhet innan incheckningen till bostaden, men när vi väl kom fram, tog hon och hennes man väl hand om oss och gav oss goda råd och tips. Det skulle vara trevligt, om det hade funnits fler sittplatser med små bord på terassen vid huset och även ett litet soffbord i vardagsrummet skulle vara bra att ha. Restaurangen Aurora i närheten serverar mycket god mat och är absolut värt ett besök. Området är bedårande vackert och det finns mycket att upptäcka i underbara Toscana. Tack för en trevlig vistelse!
Fräscht hus med bra utrymmen! Huset och dess omgivningar är till och med bättre i verkligheten.
Det är svalt i huset om man öppnar dörrarna men har jalusidörrarna stängda. Underbar och stor pool kanske hade det varit bra med några parasoll i anslutning till solstolarna.
Bra kök med helt ok utrustning för egna middagar. Närmaste restaurangen nerför backen Villa Aurora kan verkligen rekommenderas. Kan även rekommendera att ta en promenad upp till lilla byn ovanför. Tar man vänster när man kommer upp till soptunnorna finns en träskylt där det står Casoli. Det är en grusväg som är ca 4km och leder till ytterligare en liten trevlig by. Perfekt att jogga/springa fram och tillbaka. Minus för att trädgårdsskötarna på vår utcheckningsdag började klippa gräs och köra trimmer redan vid kl 9 medan vi satt och åt frukost ute!
Men på det hela stora var vi väldigt nöjda.

Fantastic villa with great views.
Overall a great place to stay. The hill up to the property and track down are challenging so you will need a car and be a confident driver. Local restaurant was fantastic and only 5 min car trip away. Villa is high quality and in great position for views and pool a very good size. Local town has everything you need and supermarket great for those who want to cook in the villa.
