We stayed in the house for a few weeks with friends and children and our dog. The property is well maintained, kitchen has everything you need, rooms are clean. There is enough space for two families. The view is beautiful and the pool area is proper. The owners communicate promptly and are responsive to requests. We loved our stay, it was really great experience! Thank you!

wonderful stay. more extensive and more beautiful than on the pictures. very nice owner who likes to think along and also provides interim cleaning. They also take care of the mid-weekly removal of the garbage. Very hospitable. Beautiful surroundings. Only thing that is good to know: there were a lot of mosquitoes in our time. The road to Campo is also very tight at certain points for a large car. We had to fold the mirrors. But we get us .to get through, but we got used to it.

No chance with the road under construction during our stay. Excess at home was difficult with store bought food. We wished we had known when booking that the house was so remote and secluded. It is located in the hills 40 km from Lucca.

The house has everything You need to have pleasant and relaxing vacation, and the owners was very helpfull in all matters. There is a BIG supermarket close by, so our advice would be, to fill the refrigerator and and enjoy evening meals on the terrace with a stunning view over the valley, after a day by the pool. And a little warning, after the last turn on the road towards the house, the road gets VERY steep and VERY narrow between two houses..... This was the 2nd time we rented the house, and we would certainly rent again, if we were to spend our vacation in these parts of Italy again.

This is a beautiful property. It is located in a very quiet area, but plenty close by to see - a car is a must. The roads are very narrow but you get used to them. Pool is not heated, but refreshing on hot days. Landscaping is thoughtful and creates a private oasis in the middle of an olive grove. House is cozy with a well appointed kitchen. WiFi is pay as you go (save for a 10 € credit) which would have been nice to know in advance. Great outdoor living space and the views cannot be beat. We stayed with our 2.5 year old and had a very relaxing stay. Day trips to Barga, Vagli de Sotto, and the coast were highlights of the area. Hosts were wonderful.

We feel in love with this area several years ago and has been going back a couple of times since. We always choose a house away from the big cities because we seek the total peace and quiet that it provides and we where not disappointed. The view is simply breathtaking and the surroundings authentic. The house is big and there are plenty of space for all eight without we felt we where walking on top of each other.. The pool, which is saltwater that was better for the skin and hair, was lovely and we spent many hours swimming and playing. Nice sun area that provides both sun and shadow. Christina and her husband was very patient with us, when we were many hours delayed due to the traffic. They meet us with smiles when we finally arrived. We got help immediately when we had questions and got some great tips about local attractions and markets. We had the best week with relaxation, laughter and joy and we will certainly consider coming back to this fantastic place.

Wir haben uns in der Villa super wohl gefühlt. Der Pool war sehr sauber und schön. Der Ausblick von der Terrasse war faszinierend. Die Gastgeber war super nett und hilfsbereit. Ein Einkaufskorb mit den ersten Lebensmitteln stand zur Begrüßung bereit. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Aufenthalt mit 4 Erwachsenen und 2 Kindern, viel Platz im Haus, Küche gut ausgestattet, Möglichkeiten zum Essen drinnen und draußen, prima Grill - alles, was benötigt wird, ist vorhanden. Ansprechpartnerin Vorort ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit, wenn es mal etwas zu klären gibt. Toller Pool mit Liegen und extra Handtüchern und Sonnenschirmen. Highlight ist der Ausblick von der Terasse vor dem Haus - ein Traum! Umgebung mit Barga und Castelnuovo sehr schön, aber eher ruhiger, Lucca in knapp 1h erreichbar, Pisa etwa 15 min weiter. Großer Supermarkt in Gallicano (15 min Fahrzeit) mit allem, was man so braucht in großer Auswahl. Die letzten Meter Anfahrt zum Haus sind sehr steil (15-20%) und die Durchfahrt ist tatsächlich eng. Ein Auto mit einer Breite von 2,08 m (bei ausgeklappten Spiegeln) passt soeben durch, dann muss man aber auch genau "treffen". Fazit: Ein toller Urlaub, wir würden wiederkommen.

Wir waren mit zwei Familien in der Villa Olivi. Die Anfahrt ist wirklich nichts für sehr große Autos, aber dafür wird man mit einem herrlichen Blick belohnt. Die Gastgeber sind sehr nett und im Haus fehlt es wirklich an nichts! Bei unserem Aufenthalt war es noch recht kalt und vielleicht waren wir in diesem Jahr die ersten Gäste. Deshalb hat es ziemlich lang gedauert, bis es im Haus annehmbar warm war und der Wintermuff verflogen war. Aber der Kamin und Pelletofen haben dabei sehr gut geholfen!

We had a lovely stay in Italy. The house and its surroundings are well maintained and you’ll find everything you need in a vacation household. The views down the valley are absolutely astounding. The hosts have been very friendly and helpful but also perfectly discreet. I can absolutely recommend this place for a quiet and relaxing family vacation.

Wir (vier Erwachsene und vier Kinder (4 - 8 Jahre)) haben einen sehr entspannten Urlaub im Haus verbracht. Es ist gemütlich im toskanischen Stil eingerichtet. Die Küche ist vollumfänglich ausgestattet. Die Bilder sowie die bereits abgegebenen Bewertungen / Beschreibungen sind absolut zutreffend - einzig der Ausblick in Richtung Barga ist noch schöner. Besonders möchten wir die Gastfreundscft der Hausbesitzer hervorheben. Cristina und Mauro haben uns mit Rat und Tat von der Ausflugsplanung bis hin zur Autoreparatur unterstützt. Wirklich wunderbar!

Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Das Haus ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht. Durch 2 große Terrassen konnte man zu allen Mahlzeiten Schatten finden. Der Garten ist schön gestaltet und durch einen eingezäunten Pool konnte auch ein Kleinkind frei laufen und das Grundstück genießen. Ein Wehmutstropfen ist die Anfahrt durch eine sehr enge, kurvige Strecke.

Wow what a great place! Perfect for four adult’s and four kids. Gated pool was a huge bonus, when locked we could let the kids explore the large terraced garden whilst the adults took in the amazing views with a glass of wine. Christina left a huge welcome basket and had some great advice on the area. Would love to go back!
