Beautiful village house, pool. Walk to restaurant. WIFI. Flexible changeover.

Giammengo is a beautifully restored romantic stone property, with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms in the cottage, with a further 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom set across the little courtyard 10M from the house. There is a gorgeous pool and outdoor relaxing area.

Set in the depths of the Garfagnana, an hour or so North of Lucca, in a small village with a population of circa 300. There are village and mountain views. This house really is a treat!

Unusually for this area, one can walk to a pizzeria/restaurant (less than a 5 min walk) where one can dine al fresco on the terrace and take in the view, as well as a basic shop/bar, gelateria and butchers. For other facilities the local market town is less than a 10 minute drive away.

This 2 bedroom, 2 shower room village property, along with further bedroom and bathroom across the courtyard has been restored with lots of love and care, and retains its original character, but with the addition of modern shower rooms, beautiful furniture and stunning pool area complete with an outdoor kitchen, and no less than a choice of 3 eating areas, making it an ideal holiday home.

The cottage is tastefully presented, with a wonderful mixture of original flooring, beamed ceilings, chestnut windows, original balconies from bedrooms, blending perfectly with modern fireplace, pristine bathrooms, country kitchen and bang up to date outdoor area with good size modern pool.

This place really is a treat!

In more detail the property is arranged as follows:

Kitchen/diner with oven, hob, microwave, fridge, coffee machine. Double doors leading to outdoor area.

Comfortable house in a fantastic location

The property is a very good standard and was perfect for the two of us. The hosts were friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed the facilities of the pool and outdoor kitchen/dining which were perfect for taking in the amazing views. We would certainly stay there again.

Beautiful villa with stunning views

A lovely, very comfortable and well equipped villa in a beautiful location with stunning views. The pool and outdoor kitchen area was fantastic. The owner was very friendly and helpful in suggesting places to visit. She recommended a trip over the mountains to the coast which was quite spectacular. The local restaurant, Il Grotto served good food and the prices were very reasonable. We certainly wouldn't hesitate in recommending this beautiful villa and would very much love to return some day.

Wonderful Holiday

I would highly recommend this property for a holiday. The property itself was ideal. It was of a very high standard. The location was perfect. We could walk to the local restaurant which had lovely food and friendly staff. There are lots of things to see locally and you could use the train to go further afield. The proprietors were wonderful. They were very informative and made us feel very welcome. We will definitely come back to this villa again. We cannot recommend highly enough Miriam and Charles

Perfect Tuscan Escape!

My family of four (2 teen sons) stayed at this beautiful property in June. It is a perfect base for exploring Garfagnana by car and the property is delightful. There are 2 great restaurants within a 3-4 minute walk. The hosts are so welcoming and accomodating; it was a great overall experience. The management company sent great information about the area ahead of time (which was super helpful.) Although a little tricky to initially locate the property, it is easily accessible once you know where you are going. This was our first trip to Tuscany. I hope to stay here (same property) again!

Garfagnana greatness

5 of us had a wonderful stay. The pictures don't do it justice; the views over this beautiful part of Tuscany are amazing and the property / its facilities are superbly designed and finished to a very high quality. The outdoor spaces aren't overlooked at all and the interior provided a welcome relief from the heat. Good walks from the property too. Oh and very few mosquitos! Patricia was at the property during our stay and was very discrete. She booked us into the local restaurant and made excellent recommendations about things to do in the local area. The food and drink (in the supermarkets and restaurants) was consistently excellent quality and low price.

WOW! What an amazing place

As soon as we drove through the gates, we saw that this was an impressive property. The owner, Patricia met us and gave us a guided tour. She was very relaxed and shown us everything. The property had everything and to be honest I could not fault the place. Inside and out was lovely. The outside area and poo were amazing and the views were something else. There was an amazing Pizza restaurant about 5 minutes walk from the property along with a little shop for fresh bread. You will need a car if you want to explore the lovely countryside, plenty of parking at the property. All in all just superb. I would highly recommend this property and Patricia was super helpful to us.

A dream...

Patricia and Geir are super-hosts and the house with the pool and the outdoor-kitchen is a dream! Viletta is an cosy small village with a little shop (inklusice a good gelateria). The restaurant "il Grotto" is great. No chi-chi-food, just fine handmade italian food, good wines and a great view over the valley. The area is very hilly and green. There are no busloads of tourists swarming all over the countryside. So you will find a wonderful place for relaxing holidays. You can do some nice trips from Viletta to Lucca, Pisa, Firenze or Cinqueterre - but to the south of the toscany (Siena, San Gimiagno, Bolgehri) you might "endure" some longer rides. But who cares - if the house and the hosts are that good as here. And why travel so far, if you can find nice little towns like Bargha nearby. Thank you for a great time!

Traumurlaub in der Toskana

Mit unseren beiden Söhnen haben wir 10 Tage in dieser einmalig schönen Villa verbracht und einen fantastischen Urlaub bei den wundervollen Gastgebern Patricia und Geir erlebt. Das absolute Highlight ist der Pool mit der Außenküche und einem fantastischen Blick auf die Berge. In Laufweite ist eine Pizzeria / Gelateria / Lebensmittelladen, in der man alles für den täglichen Bedarf findet und sehr gut essen kann. Die Lage ist super geeignet für Tagesausflüge. So waren wir in Pisa, Lucca, am Strand bei Viareggio und haben auch die nahen Berge, Bergseen, Höhlen und Festungen erkundet. Wir können auch sehr empfehlen, ein E-Mountainbike auszuleihen. Dadurch kann man die wunderschöne Umgebung erkunden. Uns hat es so gut gefallen, dass wir bereits einen weiteren Urlaub in dieser Villa planen…

Fantastisch

We hebben met 6 volwassenen een week lang mogen genieten van een prachtig mooi huis met zwembad. Genoeg ruimte voor iedereen. Bijna hele week boven bij het zwembad vertoeft waar een keuken met borden, bestek, glazen, koelkast en zelfs pannen aanwezig zijn. Wat een genot in de ochtend daar je ontbijt te nuttigen, zwemmen overdag en in de late avond eten en een spelletje doen. Het zwembad wordt goed schoongehouden en was heerlijk. Omgeving is prachtig. 2 keer pizza besteld bij Il Grotto en aan grote tafel in buitenkeuken gegeten. 1 keer heerlijk bij Il Grotto zelf gegeten. Patricia en Geir zijn er als je ze nodig hebt (Patricia nog bedankt voor het maken van de foto’s) en voor goede adviezen wat te doen in de buurt. We hebben genoten van het verblijf daar.

Die Vermieterin war sehr freundlich, immer erreichbar und hatte gute Tipps für Ausflüge und regionale toskanische Küche in der Umgebung. Der Ort bietet alles was man braucht: Restaurant, Bar, und ein kleiner Laden. Wir haben die Zeit sehr genossen und können das Objekt nur weiterempfehlen!
