Villa in 2 Acres: Large Heated Private Pool; 360 deg. Stunning Views; Free WIFI

From Casa del Falcetto as far as you can see in all directions the 360 degree National Park views are special and stunning.

There is easy access and plenty of parking with no precipitous edges to worry about.

Whether from the lounge, poolside, or juliette balconies a feature of the two main bedrooms, you can see the small local farm, the pretty little church and in the distance from the eagles eyrie you could say, are the hillside fortress villages of Castiglioncello and Pugliano, where at lunch time the local bar serves some of the finest pasta in the area! At Reusa (3 miles) lies restaurant Spino Fioretti where Monday to Friday a superb lunch is just Euro 12 incl water and wine. Ask for 'Pranzo del lavoro'.

Within a National Park the whole area is totally unspoilt, and it is sometimes hard to believe that you are not living in a different age. You may drive the twenty minutes or so across to Fivizzano, the main town in the Commune, have a coffee at Elviros, freely exchange your books, and maybe only see one or two cars. Restaurants are numerous and have a rustic charming quality, and the ever friendly Italians always ready with a buona sera or buon appetito.

At the same time we are not isolated. Local amenities, ie bank, PO, supermarket can be found at Casola a five minute drive away. Similar drive time to the little town of Pieve San Lorenzo and with free parking then get the train to the lovely walled renaissance city of Lucca (one hour and about Euro 6), or just about anywhere else from Rome to Milan. Alternatively a one hour drive will take you down to the coastal beaches Lerici or Portovenere and the heart of the World heritage site of Cinque Terre with its little Cornish type coves and precipitous cliffs plunging to the sea. Another twenty minutes drive would have you in Ravello, Santa Margueritta, Portofino or in the other direction to Viareggio or inland to Parma the home of parmegiano cheese, and Parma ham or back down the coast to Florence!! The options are endless

For your information the property can be seen on Google Earth with the following co-ordinates: Elevation: 548
44 degrees 13 minutes 15.91 N
10 degrees 11 minutes 43.91 E

The property benefits from a large heated pool, 10m x 5m (heat pump) to help extend the season.
The property benefits from free wifi access, and UK TV via Filmon

2 weeks in the mountains
We recently enjoyed 2 weeks at the property and it was exactly as we had hoped - quiet, relaxing and a great getaway from our hectic lives. The road in was not as precarious as others had mentioned and once at the home it’s fantastic. The views are wonderful and all the conveniences one would expect are at your fingertips. We would definitely recommend this property.

Nice and peacefull villa
Linda & Tony are gracious hosts and know their villa's surroundings well so all tips were spot on. The villa is beautifully situated with no immediate neighbors so a relaxing stay is guaranteed for those of us looking for peace and quiet. For off-season stays its best to check carefully the restaurant opening times, but plenty good places around. Car with a higher clearance recommended, especially if venturing to smaller back roads.

Splendid views!
This home is just wonderful! The house, the views, all of it. If you want a cozy spot with peace and quiet, one with good restaurants around, or a kitchen to try your own Italian cooking in, this is it. And the pool is an added bonus. Tony answered any questions we had and left us some lovely wine. Such a pleasant place to spend a vacation! Was tough to leave!

Peace and Tranquility
After spending 3 weeks in Casa del Falcetto in 2020 we were very excited if we would love the place again so much. What should I say? We felt like coming home! The house has everything that we need, the pool is lovely and the view is stunning. Linda and Tony are lovely and welcoming hosts given all the current information you need ahead. Looking forward to 2024!

Magic Mountain view
This property is magical. From the house to the pool very very private to the most amazing view. Well appointed beautiful and clean. Could not fault it. We had the best time there and highly recommend if you want peace and quiet. We went on lots of easily accessible day trips with our car but the train and bus stations are close by if needed. We had some authentic Italian meals in the many restaurants dotted around the district. Can not recommend this place highly enough.

Away from it all
This was a beautiful property in a beautiful location. We had an issue on the first night with the outside lights not working but we emailed tony and it was sorted the next day by a local couple who look after the property. Although we like rurality we struggled for things like bread as it doesn't keep overnight and we had to be more organised or go out every day. The holiday was fantastic and we would recommend this property.

Lovely private villa
My partner and I had a lovely week-long stay at Casa Falcetto. We wish we had booked another week! It's very relaxing with breathtaking views over the mountains. The villa is well equipped with everything you need - everything has been thought of from a well stocked kitchen, BBQ, pool to insect repellent (not needed during our stay), replacement light bulbs, beach towels and linens, etc. The recommendations provided by the owner of nearby towns and restaurants to visit were much appreciated! We especially enjoyed Spino Fiorito, where we had a traditional, very reasonably priced dinner twice. We will definitely be recommending the villa to family and friends looking for accommodation in Italy and hope to return one day ourselves.

Paradise place with heated pool
First of all, it was a pleasure to communicate with the owner Mr. and Mrs. Perkins. We even received mail with the exact arrival details before the trip and the current situation on site due to the pandemic. The house and the surroundings are beautiful and exceed the photos. The view of the mountains is breathtaking. It is a very peaceful and quiet place to relax and recharge the batteries. The pool is stunning and we sprend a lot of time swimming with the kids. Everything is well maintained, for example the pool cleaner comes twice a week. We had an incredibly impressive and relaxing time and would go back anytime.

A beautiful location in the Tuscan hills
We stayed at this villa for 2 weeks and it was in such an idyllic location. The view of the mountains was breath taking. We went in August and it was very hot so having the pool there was an absolute god send. The temperature was perfect and it was well maintained. We did 3 big trips to Lucca, Florence and Pisa. We drove to Lucca (unfortunately the local train doesn't run anymore) and Pisa without any issues, takes around 90 minutes. For Florence we drove to La Spezia and caught the train from there, again very easy. It turned out that on the return journey, business class was cheaper than standard class and included snacks and drinks! Definitely worth checking beforehand. The house itself was very clean but did get hot at night, however fans are provided in each room. The curtains are white and thin so if you have light sleepers it's worth bringing along some blackout blinds. One of the beds was quite squeaky but other than that everything was very well equipped and maintained. There are a variety of larger supermarkets in Aulla (including Lidl) which were handy to stop at on the way back up to the house from day trips out. Agriturismo Spino Fiorito restaurant is definitely worth a visit, the food was incredible. Overall, a wonderful stay that we thoroughly enjoyed 😃

Pure nature
For everyone looking for peace and quietness, the perfect house with lots of privacy. Unfortunately we also had a few rainydays during our stay and discovered that the house is very smal for six people. We also understand something else under the cleaning-description “a standard that most sensitive people would consider satisfactory”. When the sun is shining, the great potential of the property comes into its own. The large pool with the max. 23 degrees warm water (october), enough seating and lounging options and a great grill. The house is equipped with almost everything necessary. The beds were very comfortable. However, there was no dining table for 6 people in the house. We had to help ourselves out with the garden table. We also missed a real coffee pot in the land of good coffee. Kenneth, who was responsible for the pool, was a great help. He always responded immediately to our calls and gave us many helpful and up-to-date tips for restaurants, markets and shops in the region. Thank you Kenneth!

An inspired home with glorious views and embracing seclusion
The only disappointment about Casa Falcetto is dragging yourself away from its idyll into the maelstrom of Tuscany's more frenetic parts. Great imagination has gone into designing a house that sits amidst a panorama which changes beguilingly with the light. This part of Tuscany is untouched by tourism, making it a unique haven. Nearby Pugliano is a curious delight - the 'pub', pizza and small shop all delightful. Every Saturday in August there's a community knees up worth attending. As mentioned elsewhere the pranzos are amazing in taste and value. Be warned, best booking Spino's near Reusa as despite its remoteness its very popular (closed Mondays) and for good reason. Also, Hotel Belvedere beyond Metra well worth a sundowner and evening meal. Cinque Terre towns in August is a bit like being funneled through a packed football stadium - but would recommend the Blue Marlin in Vernazza whose owner plays the piano bringing calm to chaos. The best bit was returning to Falcetto with the children playing endlessly in the pool, then sipping wine before tucking into a barbecue. As probably gathered, can't recommend this holiday home enough - it helped create one of our most relaxing holidays. Thank you Tony.

Amazing vistas and private property all to ourselves!
If you’re looking to get lost for a week or more, but still have access to all that northern Tuscany has to offer then this is the place! The views: amazing! The property: clean, spacious and very nicely appointed. The vicinity - basically its all yours! There’s no other houses or anything close by (a car is mandatory) but that’s exactly what we were looking for! Although finding the place at first is a bit tricky, that’s part of the experience! Tony and family went out of their way to provide excellent “town by town” directions and we were smart enough to fly-in midday, so plenty of sun to find our way there. First impressions: pool - stunning, views - stunning, house - impeccably clean, drive up to house - challenging (but completely doable in any decent car). Over the week we used this as our base and visited the Cinque Terre, Lucca and Florence by train (just 9 mins drive away), Pisa and drove into Emilia-Romagna as well! It was perfectly situated to get us where we wanted to go without much hassle and coming back to this bit of “heaven on earth” and a dip in the pool each evening allowed us to unwind after some interesting / harrowing drives. There’s also a well documented book with all the local things to do, restaurants, activities, etc. they really have gone out of their way to make sure you’ll enjoy every second of your stay! The ONLY downside was a concrete beam that seems to suspend just across the top of the stairs headed to the bedrooms that I repeatedly whacked with my head (I’m 6’5” tall) and almost sent us to the hospital one night (as it also is in the path to the bathroom). I might suggest a different colour or even a hanging item there that would remind us taller folk! All in all - a spectacular week enhanced by the weather and our sightseeing trips! I have about 100 photos of the views from the property and a few will be hanging on our walls for the memories, back home soon! I know lots of people say this, but we mean it: we WILL be back!!

Great House in a beautiful location
It was very lovely staying at the beautiful house of Tony and Linda. Views from the House are stunning and the pool is great. The house is perfect for summertime and perfect for exploring Tuscany. With trips to Lucca, Pisa and Cinque Terre. We came out of season in end september and unfortunately the weather was not great and therefore the house felt a bit small for 5 persons as we were not much outside. However the heating functioned very well. Many of the restaurants in the neighbourhood were closed most days because of the time of year. The communication with the hosts was great also during the stay and they were very helpful. The house was very clean, however unfortunately the previous renters didn’t clean the cutlery and dishes very well. outside.

Wunderschönes Haus in traumhafter Lage
Wir haben im September 10 schöne und ruhige Tage in diesem sehr sehr schönen Haus verbracht. Die Aussicht und der Pool sind traumhaft, die Ausstattung des Hauses vollkommen ausreichend. Da die Lage aber durchaus einsam ist braucht man ein Auto. Wer also seine Ruhe haben möchte ist hier komplett richtig.
