Monte Rotondo, Tuscany Villa with large private pool 200 mtrs walk to restaurant

"Friends of Tuscany" manage all aspects of your booking with tailored information to get the most from your holiday. We can help to arrange a shopping delivery service for arrival, wine tours, children’s activities, wild swimming spots, festivals, events, and restaurant recommendations based on our personal knowledge of the area after 30 years.

Villa Monte Rotondo is a four bedroomed holiday villa that has been refurbished in time for 2020. The villa is ideal for families or groups of friends who want the privacy and relaxation of a rural setting with a large 12 metre private pool.
The house has a well equipped kitchen and extensive indoor and outdoor dining facilities suitable for a large group. The four bedrooms have new en-suite bathrooms and two have access to a balcony. There is a large sitting room and an additional bathroom as well as a covered patio area outside for shaded dining.

Furnished with a tasteful mix of antique and modern furniture, this house pervades Italian style.

With only a five minute walk to the nearest restaurant, nothing could be more convenient. The restaurant is of a high standard, great value, specialising in local produce and is popular with discerning Italians from all over the region.

We are able to help you organise a pre-arrival shopping and / or a pre-arrival home cooked meal to be delivered to the villa for you.

Mountain biking, hill walking and horse riding are all available locally.

Locally: Castelnuovo, the nearby market town, has many restaurants, cafes, bars, supermarkets and all other types of shops. There is a tourist information office and a weekly market selling a wide variety of fashion, household goods, flowers, fruit and vegetables. It is only 2kms walk from the villa. There is a train station with trains to Lucca ( to Florence and Pisa ), and Aulla ( near the Cinque Terre )
The nearby medieval villages of Cascio, Eglio and Sassi are really nice and worth exploring, as are many of the other villages in the area.

We give detailed local information and recommendations.

Garfagnana is 'Hidden Tuscany' at its best. With its' stunning scenery it is the best area in Tuscany for walking and outdoor activities.
Friends of Tuscany are the oldest agency in the area, and we have close ties with an Outdoor Activities company who offer many international class adventures.

We can also help you arrange Art classes with a well known artist, excursions to the Cinque Terre, Florence and Lucca, visits to vineyards, historical guided tours to Florence and Lucca, and Italian cooking lessons.

The charming and experienced owner will leave you a "merenda", a large Italian snack meal of excellent local salamies, cheese, preserves, bread and wine.

Rustic and make sure you review location.
Stayed two weeks at Monte Rotondo in September 2022. The converted barn is lovely from the outside, with stunning views over the mountains. Castelnuovo is a nice town to visit with several good restaurants, though it's not safely walkable in the dark. The pool is large and the undercover patio has a table suitable for big parties. Due to our late arrival, we couldn't find a restaurant or shop open to get dinner, but owner Enrico went out of his way at 10:30 at night to find pizza and beer for us, he was also happy to wait for payment until we'd picked up Euros. Inside, the kitchen contains an enormous table, suitable for food preparation and seating for large groups. We enjoyed trips to Bargo and Sassi and there are many hikes with spectacular mountain views in the area. With its many positives, this property does have some drawbacks. Indoor décor is in need of attention, with damp patches on walls and the tile flooring is worn and mildewed in the bathrooms. Most bedrooms are much darker than the photos depict as windows face constant shade. The stairs are very steep and narrow. Be mindful due to the altitude it can can get cold in September bring some warm clothes. The pool pump broke and though a technician arrived promptly, he was unable to repair it which made the pool unusable for the second week. If you intend visiting Cinque Terre beware it is a 2 hour journey each way over difficult mountain roads. We relocated to Levanto for a couple of days to better see Portofino and Cinque Terre. On our return, the hot water wasn't working and a water pump constantly cycled on and off all night. Again, a technician arrived promptly but it was still a long night without hot water for showers etc. Families with young children may consider the steep stairs an issue. A long hard season had left the property in need of a spring clean and basic maintenance. The owners responded promptly to our issues which was helpful.

Rustic charm and stunning views
The property is typically Tuscan - stone built under a tiled roof - and features a double-height lounge on the first floor. The bedrooms are adequately sized and the showers functional, if quirky! The kitchen is quite dark and has an enormous slate-topped table, stone sink, modern hob/oven, dishwasher, washing machine, microwave and fridge. Most of the crockery is random 2s and 4s but fully functional. Outside there is a large covered eating area - with a second fridge, useful for beers! - looking out onto the unheated pool only a few metres away and then out across the amazing views to the Appenines beyond.

Fantastic House with a fantastic view
Great house to rent. Amazing views, outdoor eating space and great communal space inside. Big pool and lots of Garden. Really nice restaurant 5 minutes walk away. Enrico the owner does a great job of ensuring you have fantastic holiday. He cooked for us and arranged to take us out at the end of the holiday to show us some of his favourite places. He really made this trip special. Loads of places to see close by. I can heartily recommend.

A fantastic stay in the mountains
We booked last minute, on a whim, based purely on the photo of the pool with the view of the mountains. What a lucky find! We cannot reccomend it enough. The property and location were even better than the photos suggest. What an amazing way to relax, sat by the pool or floating on the water with such a view down the valley and across to stunning hills and mountains. Inside, the converted building is clean, bright with spacious ground floor kitchen/dining area and huge upstairs living area. However we spent all our waking hours outside by the pool or under shade at the huge outdoor table. It makes a great impression when all the little things you don't want to buy for a week away are supplied like washing liquid, dishwasher tablets, washing machine powder and lots of loo roll! Enrico, the charismatic owner, stealthly ensured the pool is clean each morning before woke and surprised us with little food gifts every so often. He was proud of his property and wanted guests to have the best time possible. Thank you for the welcome pack of food and drink as well. If it helps others booking, the house is about an hour and 15 minutes drive from Pisa airport via Lucca, which is 45 minjutes from the house. The road by the house couldn't be classed as busy, you'll hear the odd honking of Italian drivers at the blind bends but the area I would call quiet and restful. We booked a rental car via the link the owner provided after booking. The price was as good as the cheapest we could find elsewhere but via their link, additional drivers were much cheaper, so worked out well. We went early August, I was worried it would be too cool in the mountains but the weather was clear and very hot. The small town in the valley is 5 minutes drive away and pleasant enough. The little supermarket has almost everything you need and friendly staff to help hapless English tourists. Coffee and croissant breakfasts are cheap and good at various pavement cafes. We chose to eat out at various tiny medievel villages in the area rather than the town for more of an atmosphere. The owner leaves a good list of where to go. One exceptional place is just 4 minutes walk from the property. The pasta with wild boar and the hazelnut ice-cream are out of this world. Again, everyone in this area is very friendly to people who can't speak Italian. It's an area of very few tourists, which is a good thing. All in all - a great property and location.

Great place, location ambiance
Lovely place, nice people, the house was a little basic but its what we expected, fabulous location. Stairs were a bit difficult the property was not as "child friendly" as we'd hoped but we got around the problems. Overall we have a great holiday, thank you.

July 17 just returned
Had a great holiday at this villa.The owners were very good at communicating on our arrival.A car is essential as the walk back is too steep although you can taxi back for €15.The nearest restaurant which is quoted in other reviews is poor.One member of staff was very rude and made it obvious that she didn't like the British..The only critisism is that the garden furniture needs replacing as it's quite old now.Lucca is a delight,as is Barga with some good restaurants.Tritti is the best restaurant in Castelnuovo ,and the local supermarket is good.All in all a very relaxing holiday .

Absolutely stunning location and pool area, disappointed with the villa.
We had a wonderful holiday with family at Monte Rotondo, the location of the villa, and the surrounding area is absolutely beautiful. The pool and outside space is lovely, with nice comfy sun loungers, and the view takes your breath away. An umbrella for some shade would have been nice though. Upon arrival, the villa felt like it hadn't been stayed in for a while - although the bedding/towels were clean, the floors needed sweeping, there were dead flies on windowsills etc. The owner/ management company were very helpful and visited to see if everything was OK, and immediately fixed a problem with one of the toilets. Although a TV and hairdryer are listed as facilities at the villa, they were not there when we arrived, the owner did ensure these were provided a few days later (he let himself in while we were out and left the items for us - leaving the front door wide open when he left......)however, we did have to ask for these items even though they are listed as being provided. The villa itself is well equipped with a dishwasher, washing machine etc, however we found the villa to be quite basic inside. Although all the bedrooms are en suite the bathrooms can only be described as functional, the shower is just a drain in the floor and the water goes everywhere. The two downstairs bedrooms are quite dingy and smelled musty. The double room had nowhere to hang clothes up either. A lot of the furniture is very basic - in the room my daughter slept in, the bed had had the slats removed and a camp bed placed inside the frame! We just felt that for the cost of the villa, it could have been equipped to a better standard. Having said this, the lounge is a lovely room with a nice veranda. The town of Castelnuovo do Garfagnana is pretty with a few nice restaurants, however we were under the impression it is walkable from the villa, but it is a long walk down (and back up) a very steep hill to the town. We would have appreciated a bit more info about supermarkets and where to get provisions, the one in town had very random opening times! We did have a fab time though - having the pool was lovely and the area is stunning - Lucca is a must see.

Zuviel Geld für zuwenig Komfort
Die Fotos des Inserats lügen nicht, der Wahrheit entsprechen sie trotzdem nicht. Einzig der Ausblick und der wirklich tolle Pool sind genau wie im Foto. Die Fotos sind einfach schon 10 Jahre alt und billige Installationen sind dann eben durch. Genau wie billige Matratzen oder billigste Zwischenwände. Das Haus steht schlecht zur Sonne, die unteren Schlafräume bekommen sehr wenig Licht ab und durch die kleinen Fenster kann kein Feuchtigkeitsaustausch stattfinden. Ergo sind die Zimmer feucht, die Kommoden muffig. Die Bäder sind winzig, die Duschen mit den festmontierten Duschköpfen noch kleiner. Einzig im fensterlosen EG-Bad ist der Duschvorhang ringsum zu schließen. Im OG wird entweder die Tür oder das Klo klatschnass. Im EG haben die Bäder der Schlafzimmer Duschkabinchen und in einem sind sogar beide Schiebetüren vorhanden. Wenn beide geöffnet sind, ist der Spalt so breit wie ein DinA 4 Blatt lang. Wir sind nicht dick, aber da rauszukommen ist berührungsfrei nicht machbar. Enrico ist ein sehr netter, älterer Herr, spricht rudimentär Englisch und ist während unseres Aufenthaltes leider erkrankt, wodurch der Müll nicht geleert und der Pool nicht gepflegt wurde. Die ersten zwei Tage war kein warmes Wasser da, was Enrico zum Glück mit Hilfe eines Freundes reparieren konnte. Für Hundebesitzer ist die Gegend ein Alptraum, es gibt keine Spazier- oder Geh-Wege, die Einheimischen lassen die Hunde auf der Straße laufen, manchmal auch alleine. Wir hatten zwei Hunde dabei, die sich gut verstehen und sich auf dem Grundstück beim Spiel austoben konnten. Leider war die Wiese morgens klatschnass, die Hunde dann auch. Nass und erdig. Zum Wandern muss immer erst im Auto eine relativ lange Anfahrt in Kauf genommen werden. Das Häuschen ist zwar nett, trotzdem werden wir nicht wiederkommen. Zuviel Geld für zuwenig Komfort. Schade.

We were two families of three and four and stayed for a week. The property is roomy and easily accommodated all of us. There is a very large covered terrace where most of our time was spent. It overlooks the large pool which we enjoyed all week long and which the owner comes once every two days to clean. The owners were very responsive and kind....I can happily recommend this property.

Jederzeit wieder!!!!!
Wir waren zwei Familien (4 Erw., 4 Kinder zw. 6-12). Durch die gute Aufteilung in EG und OG hatte jeder seinen eigenen Bereich, es war alles vorhanden, auch die Küche war absolut ausreichend ausgestattet. Es gab sogar einen extra Kühlschrank auf der Terrasse, wirklich super waren die beiden Riesentische im Innen-, und Aussenbereich, an dem alle Platz hatten. Die Veranda mit Überdachung ist Gold wert, Sonne, Regen, alles kein Problem. Das gesamte Gelände ist sehr gepflegt, man hat das Gefühl, für sich allein, mitten in der Toskana zu sein. Einzig die Strasse ist manchmal etwas nervig, aber ok. Auch die hier manchmal kritisierte enge Treppe ins OG ist tatsächlich eng, aber machbar, auch für unseren 6-jährigen, wir waren eigentlich nur zum Schlafen im OG. Absolutes Highlight: DER POOL!!! Stressfrei für die Eltern, der Hit für die Kids. Ach so: Ein Riesendankeschön an Giovanella für die tolle Übergabe inkl. Wein und Leckereien und natürlich an Enrico, der sich super um den Pool gekümmert hat (und auch die Schoko-Kuchen-Überraschung zum Frühstück). Bis auf den blöden Rückstau am Brenner ein Mega-Urlaub, DANKE!!!!!

Sehr schöne Lage mit beeindruckender Aussicht. Etwas rustikal.
Beide Etagen haben separate Eingänge und sind nur durch eine kleinere Treppe miteinander verbunden. Für zwei Familien ist das von Vorteil. Auch die Tatsache, dass jedes Zimmer ein Badezimmer hat ist ungewöhnlich. Es gibt sogar noch ein extra Badezimmer, das von der Küche erreichbar ist. Die Villa ist etwas rustikal eingerichtet. Die Möbel sind älter und teilweise leicht beschädigt. Die Küchenspüle z. B. hat einen Riss und läuft nicht vollständig ab. Die Treppe in das oberste Geschoss ist steil und eng und ist daher weniger für ältere Personen geeignet. Die Duschen sind eher behelfsmäßig eingerichtet und sind in den kleinen Badezimmern meist im Weg. Wer also hightech Duschköpfe mit Wärmesensoren und Massagestrahl gewohnt ist, wird hier gewaltig enttäuscht. Uns hat das alles nicht sehr gestört, aber die Bilder vermitteln einen anderen Eindruck. Das Wasser im Pool ist recht kühl, wahrscheinlich wegen der Bäume. Wir hatten einige Probleme mit einem undichten Toilettenspülkasten, einem gebrochenen Toilettensitz und dem Wasserabfluss in einer Dusche. Die Kommunikation mit Besitzer und Verwalter war prompt, aber nichts wurde repariert, und wir mussten auf andere Badezimmer ausweichen. Wiederum nichts, was unseren Aufenthalt verdorben hätte, aber etwas mehr Enthusiasmus für eine Reparatur wäre nett gewesen. WIFI war anfangs nicht vorhanden, wurde aber nach Kontaktaufnahme mit der Verwaltung bereitgestellt. In Anbetracht des Preises waren wir etwas enttäuscht über die Anzahl der kleinen Mängel, zumal sie durch eine kurze vorab Inspektion vom Besitzer leicht hätten festgestellt werden können. Wir hatten eine schöne Woche zusammen mit einer befreundeten Familie. Wiederkommen würden wir wahrscheinlich nicht.

Great holidays
We have had really great holidays in Monte Rotondo. The villa is typical, with lot of space. The first time we used the showers it was a bit disappointing, but it was in fact very convenient. The bedrooms are perhaps a bit small, but we have spent 99% of the time outside, so no trouble with this! The view is just incredible, and the swimming pool is very big! Enrico, Stefano and Giovanella, who have welcome us, are very friendly and always there if you need anything! When arrived, we have had the really good surprise to find lots of drinks, food, fruits... it's was really very cool! To summarize: really good holidays, in a very nice place, very quiet... we will be back for sure! Thanks once again to Stefano & Gio for all they made for us! :)

Mooie locatie, huis niet up to date
Je komt aan en denkt: dat wordt een lekkere vakantie. Vriendelijk ontvangst en allerlei lekkernijen die de eigenaar al in huis heeft gehaald en heeft klaar gemaakt zoals heerlijke meloen met ham. Huis is lekker koel met grote veranda. Uitzicht is mooi, maar het zwembad ligt in het zicht van een ander huis, dus wat minder privacy dan gehoopt. Ook ontbreekt helaas bij het trappetje van het zwembad de bovenste sport. Bedden blijken niet allemaal even comfortabel. Schimmelvorming op muren bij de douches. Douche water lekker qua temperatuur maar gaat gemakkelijk alle kanten op. Dus WC gebruiken na douchen betekent: natte kleren omdat grond nat is. Afwasmachine lekte soms en de knopen werkten soms wat lastig. Trap naar boven is heel smal (dus niet te grote bagage meenemen!) Hele huis lijkt wat vochtig te zijn. Aantal van de luie stoelen bij het zwembad missen beensteunen en 1 heeft kapotte leuning. Regenpijp bij de veranda heeft ook aandacht nodig (er mist een stuk). WIFI is moeizaam. Dit alles al gemeld tijdens ons verblijf aan de homeway mensen met wie alles wordt geregeld. Wat geld terug gekregen. Liever gezien dat het huis echt de vraagprijs waard was geweest. Nu veel kleine ergernissen gehad en daarvoor ben je niet op vakantie! Homeaway zou eind augustus een inspectie gaan doen en kijken welke verbeteringen moeten worden aangebracht. Mijns inziens tot die tijd dit object niet huren voor deze prijs!

Fantastisk beliggenhed, men husets indretning er lige rustik nok!!!
Huset ligger fantastisk, og den udendørs terrasse giver skøn skygge om dagen og en smuk udsigt om aftenen. Husets indretning og faciliteter kunne dog godt trænge til en opgradering - dette gælder især køkkenfaciliteterne, som har set bedre dage. Dette gælder både de hårde hvidevarer som køkkengrej. Værelserne og badeværelserne trænger til en opfriskning. Dette gælder også tilhørende linned, som var "gammelt" og nogle af lagnerne havde huller. For så vidt angår poolen var servicen i top. Der kom en mand og rensede denne hver dag. Henset til husets indretning og stand er prisen for høj, og betegnelsen "luksus farmhouse" er misvisende, men beliggenheden og udsigten er helt i top.
