Just perfect :-)

We had a wonderful vacation! The place was just perfect to relax (especially the pool was fantastic), but also to start ,trips to the surrounding cities and mountains. Trips to Pisa, the beach, to Florence are doable in a very convenient way. My personal recommendation: Lucca. Paola and her father have done a great job, being friendly, helpful hosts, just professional. 100% recommendation.

A beautiful calm oasis in Tuscany

We were made very welcome by Paola, Carlo and Loretta- and they kindly left us a bottle of Chianti and some local honey to welcome us further. The accommodation was much larger and airier than we had anticipated, with full air conditioning throughout. The super king bed on the mezzanine floor was very comfortable . The patio provided a shady place to eat , and a welcome escape from the sun. The pool is absolutely beautiful, set in landscaped gardens, under imposing mountains. It is stunning and absolutely pristine. The facilities are excellent and it is well placed for local restaurants, bars and shopping. We stayed for three weeks. It was perfect!

Superb accommodation in Tuscany

What a superb holiday apartment, pictures don’t do this place justice. We stayed for almost 2 weeks, apartment is as described but doesn’t show the lovely gardens full of fruit trees and the impeccable condition of the pool, ideal for hot summer days to cool off. Gallicano is well placed for exploring or completely relaxing, walking distance to local cafe, bakery and town is just a short 10 min walk, well equipped supermarket is a km away - can’t rate location to amenities highly enough. Paolo and her wonderful dad Carlo were in hand before, during and after our stay with helpful information, couldn’t ask for nicer hosts! Would definitely stay again when visiting Tuscany!

Comfortable, well maintained property, excellent hosts

The house we rented was called ' Mondolata' and was as shown in the photographs, clean and comfortable. Their guests needs had been thought of with a welcome basket of basic food items, washing up needs and even rubbish bags. When travelling from offshore things like this are appreciated ! The garden was wonderful, and we enjoyed eating our meals on the covered patio. Carlo gave us all the information, advice and literature we needed to get the most out of our stay in the Garfagnana area. Gallicano was an excellent location from which to explore the area and also visit Lucca and The Cinque Terra. We did manage to relax by the pool for a short time. Thank you Carlo and Paola for making our visit so memorable.

Italian hospitality at it's best.

This is Italian hospitality at it's best. We spent a week in this cosy Limonaia appartment - very nice and clean, nicely decorated, kitchen fully equipped with everything you can think of - The owner Carlo and his daughter Paola are amazing, helping you with everything you need. They will tell you everything there is to know about the surroundings, everything you can do etc. etc.You can relax at the garden & very nice pool, both very well kept. You have your own (private) space outside next to the appartment. I can not recommend this more. You have to go to B&B Il Melograno!

Toller Wohlfühl-Ort

Wunderschöne gepflegte Anlage und ein herrlicher Pool - perfekt zum Entspannen. Wir waren 1 Woche im Mandolata-Cottage, alles ist wie auf den Fotos abgebildet. Ein sehr nettes, kleines Haus mit sehr guter Ausstattung. An jedem Fenster sind hochwertige Fliegengitter angebracht. Toll war auch der Pavillon mit Tisch und Stühlen, der zum Haus gehört. Die Gastgeber waren sehr freundlich und immer hilfsbereit. Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt.

Gewelig gastvrij huis

Wij hebben een geweldige week beleefd. De ontvangst, de netheid/hezelligheid van het huis, het zwembad, de omgeving, hebben ons verblijf bijna perfect gemaakt. Locatie ligt dichtbij Lucca en mooie plek als de Apenijnen en prachtige plekjes. Enig nadeel was dat je altijd je wel de auto nodig hebt, ook voor eten etc.

Top accommodate

Het was een fantastische vakantie op dit heerlijke adres. Het huisje is super alles is even schoon, netjes en smaakvol ingericht. De eigenaars zijn bijzonder vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Als je vragen hebt over de omgeving krijg je de mooiste tips. Voor ons hadden ze 2 hele mooie roadtrips bedacht met de mooiste bergdorpjes in de regio. Na terugkomst van een mooie route wacht een heerlijk zwembad waar je in alle rust op adem kunt komen. Dit adres houd ik zeker in mijn hoofd voor een volgende vakantie in Toscane.
