Peaceful and beautiful property

We enjoyed staying at the property as a group of friends. It was very well equipped (e.g. the kitchen had all appliances you could possibly need, there were pool floaties and badminton sets, pool towels were provided in addition to regular towels etc.). The one down side is that some things are a bit worn out - the fence is damaged in a few places, the pool lining needs patching up, a mattress or two could use replacing, a duvet in one of the rooms was a bit moldy... However, none of those things really affected our stay a lot, since the area around and the property itself are so beautiful and peaceful, you have total privacy and have so many opportunities for all sorts of activities in and around the villa. The communication with the owner and the management company was super easy, all of our questions and issues were resolved in no time, so big props to Tamara for that! All in all, I would highly recommend staying at the villa, and we would gladly come back :)

The Tuscan holidays

A beautiful villa in Tuscan mountains. The villa is very large, it has 3 floors and is sitting by the woods and the gardens are very big .The pool is wonderful, we all had such a wonderful time there , the kids played ( there were plenty of pool toys ) while the adults could lie in the sun .The sun beds had all been replaced , plus the play area for the kids was clean and well kept . We were told by the management that the owner had just fixed or replaced everything. The villa was well stocked with glasses, plates and other kitchen items .The property and surrounding area is very quiet , and area is private.The kitchen walks out onto the upper garden, where there is a big BBQ and open fire .The open fire has stone seats around, so in the evening we would seat around the fire , it is something special. The owner was good on communication and would reply to any questions we had .We really wish we had stayed longer and intend to return again next year.

Beautiful!

We were a family group of 8 adults and 2 toddlers and had an amazing time at this beautiful villa situated in an amazing location. The villa itself is large and spacious and the amenities are ideal - good size bedrooms, ample kitchen / dinning area, basement pool table room (although pool table has seen better days). The garden is lovely, great outdoor dinning areas with BBQ and a lovely swimming pool, plenty of pool inflatables and also x2 adult bikes and x2 childrens bikes. However one concern was that the pool was not completely fenced in, therefore a risk for the toddlers, although the owner has confirmed this is being rectified in early 2024. You'll definitely need a car as set high up in the hills with a min 10 min drive for shopping or 25 min drive for supermarkets, however there is a tiny village 10 mins walk away with a charming bar for evening drinks. All in all, a fantastic place and once the fence around the pool is addressed, it will be perfect!!

100% would recommend!! We had the best experience in this stunning villa.

This was our first time in this region, it is so lovely there, some of the views are breathtaking and it is great for walks. We loved this old villa, firstly it is huge and then it is set on really large piece of land. The villa has everything we needed, it is spacious with 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. The kitchen was well equipped and had a good island that we could sit around. In the evening our children played downstairs in the games room, it included a billiard table. Outside of the kitchen was a nice garden where we had a large open fire and a BBQ area. The pool was lovely and large, I was able to sit on the balcony with a coffee and keep an eye on the children playing in the swimming pool. Even though we had very hot weather the villa stayed cool enough. When a kettle broke, we contacted the manager Tamara, the next day a person came with a replacement. We found them to be helpful. We would recommend this villa.

Un superbe endroit

La maison est située dans un magnifique environnement. Elle est assez grande pour un groupe de 10 personnes. Je trouvais cependant le nombre de canapé insuffisant (2 pour un total de 5 places) Il y a 5 chambres mais il faut savoir que la chambre située le plus bas est très sombre et a un problème d'humidité. Nous n'avons vu personne pour nous donner des instructions et n'avons jamais compris le système de tri des poubelles ainsi que les jours de sortie des différents types de poubelles

Tolles Haus, super Pool, erholsam

Grundsätzlich hat es uns sehr gut gefallen. Es ist abgelegen, etwas in der Höhe (auch wenn es sehr heiss ist, wird es abends und während der Nacht kühler). Der Pool ist gross, hat eine gute Tiefe zum Schwimmen und Baden. Es ist friedlich, man findet immer einen Schattenplatz, weitläufig und mitten in der Natur. Die Zimmer sind gut, die Betten wie die meisten in Italien. Alles ist schön gemacht und gut ausgestattet. Es war sehr sauber geputzt. Da keine Übergabe stattfand, haben wir unsere Beanstandungen sofort platziert. Leider waren einige Sachen defekt. Wir finden, es war nicht gut unterhalten. Auch nach unserer Beanstandung wurde nichts repariert. Wir genossen unseren Aufenthalt und wollten uns deshalb nicht die Ferien vermiesen lassen. Wir waren einige Parteien und konnten uns gut verweilen. Nach den Ferien habe ich mit den Eigentümern Kontakt aufgenommen und meine Beanstandungen platziert und auch, dass ich von der Verwaltung enttäuscht war - diese haben die Beanstandungen entgegen genommen, aber nicht gehandelt. Mit den Eigentümern sind wir immer noch in klärendem Kontakt, sie nehmen es sehr seriös und sind an unseren Erfahrungen interessiert. Der Spielplatz (Sandkasten und Schaukeln) sind gut unterhalten, tipptopp.Ich würde die Liegenschaft weiterempfehlen, wenn etwas nicht gut ist, penetrant dran bleiben und die Verwaltung zum Handeln zwingen. Resp. sofort die Eigentümer kontaktieren. Es waren aber trotzdem sehr erholsame Ferien!

Did not live up to expectations at all!

The pictures on the VRBO page are old pictures. The house is not in good shape and has not been maintained to be called a luxury house. There were ants everywhere when we arrived including in our sons bed. There were garbage/bottles in the backyard and the general cleaning standard was very low. After contacting the owners they sent our request along to the agency that stood for the cleaning BUT nothing happens. So do not book this very expensive house and expect luxury!!!! At a lower price, more honest description/pictures and better cleaning the rating could go up but for us we give it 1/10

Urlaub mit Familie und Kleinkindern

Die Villa ist sehr schön, aber leider überhaupt nicht gepflegt. Wir waren mit unseren Kindern und deren Familie in der Villa 7 Erwachsene und zwei Kleinkinder,ein Grund für diese Villa war für uns der Spielplatz, leider war die Rutschbahn defekt, rostig und gefährlich für Kinder, geht gar nicht. Im Inserat steht, das einmal die Woche die Bettwäsche gewechselt wird, wir haben die ganzen zwei Wochen keine Putzfrau gesehen, es hatte zuwenig Bade-Duschtücher, Putzlappen hatte es ein Stück und auch Geschirrtücher nur eins... Es hatte nicht genug Weingläser für Sieben, zuwenig Wassergläser Besteck ist zum Teil defekt. Den Grill konnte man gar nicht brauchen, er hatt unten ein durgerostetes Loch, so dass die Holzkohle durchfällt,wir haben einen neuen gekauft und dort gelassen. Auch Bratpfannen waren eine Zumutung...... Der Pool ist ganz schön, aber leider war alles schmutzig voller Blätter , die Stühle im Pavillon rostig defekt man muss aufpassen, das man sich nicht verletzt. Es lagen schmutzige Kinderspielsachen rum ein Babypool halb gefüllt mit nassen Tüchern usw. drinn, einfach gruusig...... Der unterhalt der Liegenschaft ist leider sehr schlecht, sehr schaade, es wäre eine so schöne Villa. Freundliche Grüsse Eliane Spohn

Stunning location and a great family experience

The property is a spacious and well equipped property, typical of the area but fully up to date. It has the space for all the family to find some privacy if they needed it and the room to all be together when we wanted also. The pool is a superb and kids equipment a god send for us. The trees and setting ensure a range of flora and fauna was on hand to surprise and delight us! Not too far into Lucca, but there are also some more local delights to explore as well atop hills and in valleys. Something for everyone. Definitely somewhere we'd come back to.

First family holiday to Tuscany!

We enjoyed a weeks holiday in the villa. The villa is large, so ideal for a big group. The location can be tricky to get to but once you are there it’s absolutely amazing! It had all the amenities you would need. We went at the end of May and the weather was a bit hit and miss but that did not ruin the holiday as there is plenty to do and see or you can just relax in the villa. The pool area is great, enough sun loungers for everyone! Overall very good! We would definitely recommend!

Fint stort hus med stor pool.

Fint hus i fint skick och bra standard! Inte slitet alls. Stor pool, men den är iskall. Huset ligger enskilt i en dal, vilket har både för och nackdelar. Begränsad morgon och eftermiddagssol. Vi hyrde in kocken Morena till huset två kvällar, vilket var mycket bra! God mat i mängder! Det negativa var att huset var dåligt städat och alla leksaker och cyklar var trasiga.

Outstanding Property

This charming villa and the beautiful surrounding area do not disappoint. From relaxing by the huge pool, walking to the little market nearby, or sitting by the firepit in the evening, this is a perfect holiday property. The villa is well maintained with all the quality amenities one could desire. The location offers the opportunity to just relax or drive to one of the nearby charming villages or towns. We would highly recommend for couples or families and would not hesitate to return.

Tremendous. Unique. Beautiful.

Wonderful location up in the mountains of Tuscany. The decor and furniture of the villa are impressive and the swimming pool is a great additional option. An extremely well maintained property in a location with wonderful scenery and pleasing views. I will definitely recommend to this villa to others. The owner provides a tremendous amount of local information to help planning enjoyment in the area.

Beautiful, well maintained property in a forest setting

My family of 9 spent a week at the Villa exploring the area. We took day trips to Lucca, Florence, Pisa, Cinque Terre just to mention a few. The Villa is set in a remote location; although there were very good restaurants near by. The Villa comes completely stocked with all the kitchen appliances you need along with all the basics. The swimming pool is beautiful and made for a nice escape after a long day of touring. We took advantage of the personal chef and she prepared an absolute Italian feast our last night in the Villa. Nights were cool and pleasant and the Villa is large and accommodated our group of 9 easily. All in all we loved our stay at the Villa Marginetta and would highly recommend it to you.

Beautiful Tuscany!

Stayed at the gorgeous Villa Alla Marginetta for a week with my wife and family (8 people in total). Visited many lovely villages and towns (Lucca is a must) but spent a lot of time at the poolside too. On our second evening at the villa we took up the option to have a chef prepare dinner for us all. The lovely Morena treated us to a fantastic meal! We were still eating it the following evening!! We all had a fantastic holiday in beautiful Tuscany and will return again in the future without doubt. One small point for future reference. As we arrived late and in the dark, we found the villa difficult to find and the entrance would benefit from having a more obvious sign post on the road side. Francis Smith Edinburgh

Paradise in idyllic setting with pure luxury

The villa is so beautiful and authentic and has everything you would need. The pool water is so clear and is spring water so it is unbelievable refreshing. The location is in between two little villages which are very quant. There is an amazing walk not far from the villa to the village on the hill and another walk down to the river. When I was lying out looking at the blue sky I could hear the river and the birds. Fab! There is a fab place where we ate at the pool under the Gazebo. At night we lit a fire and cooked smores at the stone fire. Love the Villa, love the place. Will definitely be back!

Beautiful Villa, well equipped, had everything. Outdoor stone fire is a great touch

This is a wonderful area and a charming and really spacious villa. Our family loved the villa, it is so big. The 5 bedrooms on 3 different levels gave us privacy which the kids in particular liked. The kitchen island was great to sit around and chat but also outside on the upper gardens (outside kitchen) there is a cool open stone fire and gazebo. The pool on the lower garden is very big and it also has a good gazebo. We had hours and hours of fun in the pool. Everyone loved the billiard table in the tavern bar on the lower level. The family played there every evening. We spent days at a time at the villa as it had everything we needed. When we did go sightseeing it was also very nice area and a good base to go to the bug cities and towns. Some of our family took advantage of the walks in the hills. We also liked how private the villa is, we didn't see anyone. This is not surprising as the villa is off the road and the nearest neighbour is maybe 400 meters away and even then they also have long driveways. Gina and her team from the management company were there for us whenever we needed them. They even set up a chef for us which was great, the chef cooked up a great 5 course meal and she came at a good price. All in all, we had a fantastic time and are already dreaming of going back to the Villa again soon.

This was rural and very quiet Italy, in a great property.

The property was excellent, particularly for a group of friends getting together for a week. If you want a relaxing holiday in rural Italy then we strongly recommend it. Locally there are several very friendly restaurants, one which we loved and visited 3 times - although you may have to drive a few minutes I love high level walking and it is fairly easy to drive 20 minutes to access some great walking The views from the house are of the local valley and a bit limited although the quality of the pool and accomodation more than made up for it We loved the fireflies, bats, and badgers - latter very unexpected There are a couple of local stores for supplies and bread each morning is a 12 minute walk away

An Absolute delight

Just returned from an extremely enjoyable and relaxing holiday in this villa - without doubt one of the nicest we have ever stayed in. We had a lovely family holiday from 8yrs to 80 yrs. The villa is simply stunning, as is the surrounding countryside. We wanted 'off the beaten track' and that's what we got; and loved it. Great location, delightful local restaurant (Al Coleta) and fabulous weather. Easy day trips to Pisa and Lucca. Very very well recommended.
