"Paolo is the best of hosts. He loves his family Villa and loves to share the history of his family and this amazing Villa with you. He makes sure to provide for your needs and comfort. The location is a beautiful place with stunning views. It is close to do day trips to Barga, Lucca, Pisa and Florence. We enjoyed our stay so much!"

"We booked this property for two adults and our two younger children and spent a year hoping two grown up children, a partner and a grandchild would come along too. The property manager was very flexible with not knowing numbers until shortly before we arrived. When we were all there at the same time there still felt like so much room. The upstairs areas were a particular help as they are totally separate - great for our eldest son, partner and baby who all woke up very early! The beds were all extremely comfortable and the bathrooms were lovely. There was one fan which was great for the room with the baby, but because it was so hot it would have been great if there was another fan for the other side of the house. We spent very little time inside because the pool area was absolutely amazing. We cooked at the villa several times and there was plenty of space for us all to sit at the outside dinner table. We loved that the pool was cleaned twice each week and that the sun loungers were comfortable. Loads of glasses, cups, plates etc and even pool toys. The housekeeper, Daniella, greeted us and popped over a couple of times during our stay with fresh vegetables from her garden and an Italian dish that was a great addition to our dinner that night. Her whole family were lovely and would wave each time we left the villa. Their house is at the bottom of the drive and over the road so the villa is completely private. It’s in an ideal location to visit many areas! "

"Our stay was better than expected with the spectacular views, surrounded by mountains and Mother Nature. It was peaceful, relaxing and most enjoyable living in a house built in 1636 with modern comforts without having given up its history and charm. The pool area is beautifully organized and super clean."

"It was our first trip to Italy, and this was the perfect family dwelling. The pictures don't begin to capture the breathtaking Dolomites or the outstanding accommodations! The kitchen is a gem! So convenient and easy to cook. We had a chef come in to fix dinner on our last day, and he loved the kitchen, too. We took walks/hikes on the surrounding trails, and relaxed by the gorgeous pool which, by the way, has beautiful night lighting!! The owner fixed pizza in the outdoor pizza oven one evening, and it was a highlight of our trip with fresh, delicious ingredients and gracious conversation...and fabulous wines. We did not mind the narrow and winding roads on the days we drove to Lucca (90 minutes) or Florence (2.5 hours), but be aware of the challenging driving that we saw as a Tuscan adventure rather than a negative. It's the perfect get-away!"

"We absolutely loved our stay. This grey stone cottage high in the mountains was exactly what we were hoping for and much more. The views of the mountains were simply breathtaking. Coffee at the infinity pool in the morning was an awesome way to start the day. Drinking a bottle of Italian wine in the late afternoon was even nicer. The cottage had everything we needed. The kitchen was fully equipped. In fact, we ate dinner at home many nights. We also dined in great restaurants all over the region. We we made a warm fire every night. We went on day trips to Florence and two wineries. We visited nearby villages and more. Our hosts were perfect. They made sure we were happy and everything was the way we wanted. All in all, you can’t go wrong with this wonderful home away from home in a special and beautiful corner of the world. We will never forget our stay."
