Totally private cottage with own pool, amazing views and close to Barga! WIFI

Charming detached 2 bedroom cottage with large private pool, gorgeous views, set in 30 hectares of land, and only 5 minutes from Barga! WIFI What a treat!

Turello is a lovely detached 2 bedroom cottage set in total seclusion with a private pool. The house is set in extensive grounds (30 hectares!), including vines and chestnut woods, and has terrific views over to Barga and the mountains beyond. This is a really peaceful retreat, yet a very short drive to the beautiful city of Barga!

The house:
On the ground floor there is a spacious well equipped kitchen/diner, with washing machine, dishwasher, oven, hob and microwave as well as a fridge/freezer. Fireplace. Door leading to covered eating area.
The kitchen leads through open plan to the living room which has large double doors looking out on the garden.
Also on the ground floor is a shower room with WC, sink and shower.
Upstairs, via a spiral staircase (or via outside if guests prefer) there are two bedooms - a twin, which leads through to a double. Both rooms have doors leading outside and a single sofa bed.
WIFI

Outside:
The piece di resistance for this house has to be the grounds!

There is a good sized private pool at 10 x 5m.
Pool Shower
Large sunbathing patio.
Covered area for al fresco dining in the shade.
BBQ and wood burning pizza/bread oven
30 hectares of land to play, relax or picnic! Complete with olive trees, chestnut woods, flat ground for playing.
Stunning views at every turn!

All this at a very reasonable price...
Just relax!!!!

NB: Last part of approach road is very steep, but perfectly do-able in an ordinary car.

Beautiful and peaceful villa
We had a lovely stay in this beautiful and very private villa. The house was very comfortable and well equiped. The pool was very nice and the grounds were lovely. The owners are a lovely couple and very friendly. We had lots of vegetables from Amadeo's garden which were really tasty. We had a great stay and would love to go back again.

Private villa and pool in Barga
Amazing property, amazing pool. Everything you need to escape and enjoy the home home from home comforts. The house and grounds were beautiful and the pool was fantastic. Hosts very friendly and close by if needed and nothing to much trouble. Be aware a 4x4 will be needed to reach the house as very steep hills and tight turns not for the nervous driver, will be returning xx

Wow, what a place!
Simply stunning place right away from it all in the Tuscan hills. We loved the pool, the quiet area and generally feeling relaxed. Barga was close and nearby with more than enough shops etc for food. The owner was so kind and welcoming, it was like staying with family! Definitely 5 stars from us!

Wonderful quiet and secluded cottage
After spending 9 fun but hectic days in Rome and Venice, this was a great place to wind down and have some quiet time for our family of 4. The pool was a major draw for us and it was heavenly. It was a record heat wave when we were there but even without air conditioning the cottage stayed relatively cool. Amedeo and his family were friendly, accessible, and responsive while also giving us our privacy. Barga is a wonderful town and we were lucky to be there for their annual Piazzarelle festival so that music could be heard from the cottage each night. The area is hilly and there are some great hiking trails around so you'll want to be ready for some climbing... A skill you'll also need for the tight spiral staircase :) As many have said, the driveway is a challenge but any half decent car can handle it and you do get used to it. If you're not very comfortable with a manual transmission, though, you may want to try to get an automatic. Considering how secluded the cottage is, it is amazing that water and electricity are not an issue. The fact that it also has a washer, dishwasher, microwave, etc, is also impressive. It would be nice if there were more cooking tools and basic staples in the kitchen and the stove/oven could use some care but these are minor issues that certainly did not affect our overall enjoyment of this very sweet little cottage. We loved Il Turello and we recommend it to anyone.

En vaskeægte italiensk perle
Vi var en dansk famile med to børn på 3 år, der havde en fantastisk ferie i ‘Il Turello’. Huset ligger helt ugeneret på toppen af en mindre bjergtop og med flot udsigt til alle sider. Vejen derop var en lille smule skræmmende den første gang, men efter et par gange gik det fint. Vi blev mødt af vores flinke vært, Amadeus, som selv bor lidt længere nede af bjerget - og fik en fin rundvisning til huset og det imponerende indhegnede område, som huset ligger inden for. Huset fungerede perfekt til vores behov og var utroligt velholdt og rent. Det samme var udendørsområde og poolen. Omkring huset er der både skov og en stor frugtplantage/olivenlund, hvilket vores børn elskede at gå på opdagelse i. Pizzaovnen var et hit. Kan kun give de allerbedste anbefalinger. Husk myggespray. Vi glæder os til at komme igen!

Peaceful and Private
We had a wonderful stay at the Cottage. The house itself is cozy, with just right amount of space for our family of 4 (kids aged 13 and 9). The internal, spiral stairs are very narrow, but the external stairs provide a good alternative when necessary. The outside space and pool are fantastic, well cared for, and incredibly private. The owners were very friendly and welcomed us with open hearts, but definitely respected our space and privacy. When our younger son had a bad accident while playing football, they were quick to help us and make sure we got all the medical care and supplies we needed. I could not thank them enough for their kindness. I will always remember it. The area is beautiful. Lots to explore. We had our mountain bikes, and the trails are fantastic. But it's important to note, the house is on a steep hill. The road to the house is curvy and narrow - not for the faint of heart. But even with our rather large, family minivan we had no problems. I would highly recommend this property and definitely hope to visit again.

Perfect relaxing retreat
Il Turello is completely secluded offering the perfect relaxing holiday. It is situated on a wooded hillside giving great views of the valley below. The patio and pool area were a highlight, we spent a lot of time relaxing here. As well as a well equipped kitchen there is a wood fired pizza oven and BBQ's so you are never short of options if you don't want to go out to eat. Inside there is fireplace which we made use of on some of the colder September evenings. The whole property was clean and well maintained. Barga is close by offering a selection of restaurants and smaller shops. Slightly further away in Gallicano there is a large supermarket. As other reviews say the first drive up to Il Turello is a bit daunting, however you soon get used to it. We managed it in a fairly large automatic estate car in the rain without issue, a 4x4 is really not necessary. Our 10 days went by far too quickly and we would love to return if we get the chance.

A house with a view
Il Turello provided us with the perfect holiday. It is totally private with breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains, and the owner, Amadeo, is charming and funny, helpful if you need it but never intrusive. The wonderful swimming pool was the icing on the cake, we had some lovely evenings stargazing and even though there is so much to do and see in this beautiful area, it was tempting to just stay put! The local town of Barga has lots to see and lots of nice little places to eat. Further afield is the medieval town of Lucca, well worth a day trip and don't miss the Ponte di Diavolo on the way. Just one note of caution - the road up to the house is extremely steep so if flying hire yourself the smallest 4x4 you can - it gets easier with practice and is totally worth the effort. We left totally relaxed and refreshed, and I very much hope we will return in the future.

Lovely villa in stunning location with good sized .pool and quality outdoor furniture . The bbq and pizza oven were an unexpected bonus and plentiful fresh fruit on the trees . Amadeo the owner was charmingly helpful but not overbearing . You will Need a car which can climb steep hills and essential to stock up at supermarket en route . Nearby Barga is wonderful !

Geweldig mooie plek
Dit huis ligt op het terrein van de eigenaar, een oudere huisarts. Bij aankomst allervriendelijkst opgevangen. Even een korte introductie en verder werden we met rust gelaten. Wat een leuke mensen. Om bij het huis te komen moet je ongeveer 2 km vanaf een grotere weg omhoog de bergen in over een smalle weg met best wel wat lastige bochten. Eenmaal op het terrein van de eigenaar nog even een stukje verder rijden, waarbij het de eerste keer wel ff wennen is. Zelfs met een grote SUV lukt het, maar je moet wel kunnen sturen. Het huis is niet groot, met 1 slaapkamer boven en nog een paar bedden in de hal. De badkamer is eenvoudig maar prima. Eigenlijk is het hele huis eenvoudig. Mooi zwembad en veel ruimte buiten om het huis, op diverse niveau's. Natuurlijke schaduw en hoekjes om ook uit de wind te zitten. Huis is voorzien van goed tuinmeubilair en verder is alles aanwezig wat je nodig hebt. Barga ligt op 7 km afstand en heeft voldoende eetgelegenheden, winkels en je kunt er prima de auto opladen. Dichterbij, op 5 minuten rijden liggen ook wat restaurants die prima zijn. Toplocatie, met geweldige eigenaren.

Perfetto!
We kunnen bevestigen wat onze voorgangers als commentaar hadden achtergelaten, zijnde: zeer vriendelijke en behulpzame doch discrete eigenaars, prachtig terrein en heerlijk zwembad, goed uitgeruste woning zowel indoor als outdoor met o.a. goed werkende wifi, heerlijke douche, pizzaoven, goed uitgeruste keuken, verschillende zithoekjes met meubilair, ligstoelen, bbq, beschutte parkeerplaats, ... m.a.w. je komt er niets te kort. Mooie regio. Barga is een prachtig stadje. Conad supermarkt op 10 minuten. 30 minuten van Lucca, 45 minuten van Pisa, uurtje van de zee...canyoning, grotten e.a. vlakbij. De klim naar Il Turello is inderdaad pittig maar anderzijds ook weer charmant en uiteindelijk doenbaar zonder al te veel problemen. Eens aangekomen op locatie is het trouwens meer dan de moeite waard want wat een prachtige tuin met vergezichten!ook de contacten met het agentschap verliepen vlekkeloos. Aanrader!

Huset fungerer fint, og der var, hvad der skulle være. Vi var meget begejstrede for poolen og terrasseområdet og den storslåede udsigt. Værten Dr. Chiappi var meget venlig og hjælpsom, og efter en dag med voldsomt blæsevejr ryddede han hele vejen og terrassen og rengjorde poolen. Virkelig imponerende. Alt i alt dejlige 14 dage, selvom vejen derop er noget af en udfordring.

Nicht der Weg ist das Ziel.
Das Haus liegt sehr ruhig, nur der Weg zum Haus ist Adventure. Mit unserem Golf 8 Kombi war es schon stellenweise sehr eng. Nach ein paar Mal rauf und runter gewöhnt man sich an die Tortur, aber das Auto leidet. Der Vermieter ist sehr nett, spricht Englisch und hat uns ein paar mal besucht. Man hört ihn schon von Weitem, weil er entweder mit einem Jeep ohne Auspuu, oder auf dem Aufsitzmäher kommt 😊. Der Pool ist sehr schön, das Grundstück riesig, aber nachts können Wölfe, Wildschweine und andere Tiere ums Haus laufen. Wir haben unseren sehr großen Hund (Leonberger) mitgehabt, was Sicherheit gab. Alles in allem ein sehr schöner, aber auch etwas anstrengender Urlaub. Trotzdem sehr zu empfehlen.

wir waren von dem Objekt begeistert, die Lage herrlich in dieser riesigen Anlage. Der Pool - einfach Klasse. Passte alles, hatten jedoch Ärger mit dem Internet, das drei Tage nicht zur Verfügung stand. Weiter hatten wir an einem Tag kein Wasser. Was in der Objektbeschreibung nicht stimmt, ist die Entfernung zu Geschäften oder Lokalen für die Grundversorgung. Steht darin "wenige Minuten zu erreichen" Also! weit und breit kein Geschäft oder Lokal !!!! Und die wenigen Minuten nach Barga mit dem Auto stimmt auch nicht. Man braucht dazu gut 15 Minuten . Ohne farbahren Untersatz ist man aufgeschmissen. In Barga ist alles vorhanden. Trotz aller Umstände haben wir das Haus , den Pool und die Landschaft genossen. Wer Ruhe will und nicht gestört werden will, hat hier seine Freude daran. Franz

Wundervolles Haus für vierköpfige Familie
Wer Erholung liebt und ein paar Serpentinen nicht scheut, liegt bei Il Turello richtig. Das Haus ist im typischen toskanischen Stil eingerichtet, bietet mit W-Lan und Spülmaschine aber auch moderne Annehmlichkeiten. Der Pool samt Außenbereich ist eine Wucht, der Pizzaofen prima. Wir haben hier zwei sehr schöne Wochen verbracht und können das Objekt weiterempfehlen.
