Relaxing Tuscan retreat
Fantastic property that is fairly secluded. Though has a short walk over the stream into the local village with a lovely restaurant. Loriana was excellent, resolving any minor issues we had. Would stay again.

Lovely villa in beautiful surroundings
Casa Eli met all our expectations. It is a gorgeous villa set in amazing countryside with incredible views of the mountains. Be aware that to access the track to the villa, you have to squeeze through a very narrow entrance. However, this is managable with care. We chose Casa Eli to celebrate my 60th birthday with our grown up family and were not disappointed. There were a few tears when we were having to leave and would love to go back. Thank you for the lovely biscuits & wine (the chocolate in the shape if a 60 was a lovely touch). The villa has everything you need including an amazing pool. It's a 10 minute walk (cross country) to the village Pieve Fosciana (note this includes some uneven ground and a steep climb). You can find everything you need there, including supermarkets, cafés, small bars, and a great restaurant ( Ill pozzo). You could easily spend your whole holiday chilling at the villa but there is so many lovely places to see in the area. We would love to come back.

Beautiful villa, beautiful surroundings
On arrival the owners were amazing, showed us around, answered questions and were very friendly. They have dealt with any issue we have had straight away and have just been fabulous. The villa itself was in beautiful condition,keeping within the rustic area it’s set, the pool was just right. The pizza oven and the outhouse (gym) you can sit in. With the beautiful woodland around and the 10 min walk into the village, you didn’t really need to go anywhere else. We choose to go into Lucca, Pisa and Florence via train and that was the best decision as we got to take in the beautiful scenery. We really have had the most relaxing time. Thank you villa Eli for helping make it a holiday to remember x

What a fantastic secluded villa
We have had a great stay at this villa, the villa is spacious, clean and equipped. Its very secluded and feel your in the middle of nowhere. The turning to get on to the private road is difficult but was managed in a minibus. There was bikes available and a bike hire shop nearby, ideal area for cyclists. The countryside is beautiful. Pool area was a great relief for those hot days and the kids enjoyed themselves. The villa was beautiful and we would definitely be returning in the future. Many thanks

Beautiful character property. Peaceful quiet location in The Garfagnana area of Tuscany.
My family enjoyed a wonderful holiday in Casa Eli. This property is very comfortable and spacious , recently refurbished with a lovely swimming pool. You will need to have a car and the driver needs to be experienced as the house is located at the end of a fairly steep track , uneven in places .but once mastered is ok . We walked to the nearby village of Pieve Fosciana a sleepy hamlet which has a good restaurant and ice cream parlour and butcher , a deli and greengrocers and a bakery. Also nearby are 2 supermarkets . Bellisimo.
