About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Detached house with private pools in the un-spoilt, totally non-commercialised, green & mountainous Garfagnana region of north Tuscany. The views from the house & pool are fantastic, and the grounds, with their own orchards a perfect place to relax. The property is beautifully, newly renovated, with sleeping accommodation/shower-rooms are split over 2 floors - an ideal choice for 2 families. There is a large well equipped farmhouse style kitchen with eating area with , dishwasher, oven, hob, fridge/freezer, and a living room with two comfy sofas, open fire and satellite TV. WIFI. In the basement there is a separate laundry area. Outside there are 2 terraces, BBQ private pool and large garden. The grounds are beautiful, mature, and well kept, with lots of flowers and colour, with a pretty orchard adjacent. Out to the front are beautiful lush views of the Apennine mountain range.... The area is dominated by the hills and mountains surrounding the valley, and there are hill top villages in abundance awaiting your exploration, as well as the local Natural Parks. This is the 'real' Italy.
The house is situated at the end of a private lane, a 2 minute drive from the mountain village of Poggio, which itself is located circa 10/15 minutes from local market town of Castelnuovo - less than 1 hour north of Lucca.
The area is ideal for a totally relaxing holiday in the countryside with fantastic views at every turn whatever the time of year. Explore the hundreds of hill-top villages, go walking/horse riding/fishing, or for a bike ride. Relax with a glass of wine and watch locals play Bocce, or spectate at the cheese rolling for which the area is famous! In the autumn join in the local passion of mushroom picking, or feast on chestnuts roasted on your fire! Tourism is yet to hit this area, and this is truly one of those increasingly rare places in Europe where you can experience the real way of life of the locals. That said there are plenty of options for days out and many suggestions are detailed under the ' location section' of this advert. Go on, treat yourself to a fantastic property!
Please note that automated distance information can be misleading in rural areas. Although some places may appear close “as the crow flies,” walking routes are often impractical. A car is required for restaurants, shopping, and local amenities.
Cuisine: Garfagnanan cuisine is fairly simple, but scrumptious, using local fresh produce to prepare dishes, which since they are prepared in the main for the locals are very cheap!
The local wine is good, and also extremely inexpensive.
Plenty of places to picnic in seclusion, with provisions easily found in local bars/shops as well as the occasional supermarket.
Locals: The locals are very friendly and helpful.
Pool closed October - April. If pool required during those will be E100 surcharge required.

Everything was fantastic, the host, the house, the pool, the view! High in the mountains. Village nearby. The road down the coast is a bit hard, but reality cool to experience! Overall a really good stay!!

A little gem
Gorgeous place. Clean, with all the amenities needed and very private. The owners brough a crate of fresh veg and herbs which was lovely. We managed to use it all up. An amazing place
Beautiful house in a beautiful rural landscape. The host was extremely informative and helpful. All worked really smooth.
Nothing but positive things to say from our visit to Italy and this house we lived a week in.
What a beautiful haven in the Tuscan Hills, away from everything.
Communication from the agents and manager was exceptional - and we had a full induction shortly after arrival.
Highly recommended- one of the best places we’ve stayed
Thank you so much for your hospitality and providing such a wonderful peaceful setting

Our group of six friends had a beautiful vacation at this amazing property. The house was perfect and comfortable, and the grounds and pool were so well kept. Our host, Ilario, gave us a great welcome and many ideas of things to do in the area, and he also gave us some of his home-grown vegetables. With their help, we were able to book a chef to come to the house and give us an Italian cooking lesson, and another day we fired up the wood pizza oven and made our own pizza dinner. This is a gorgeous part of the world, and we had an amazing time. Highly recommend.

Our villa was very rustic but charming . the views were beautiful. In the early morning mist overlooking the pool to the hills it was breathtaking. The owner was a very pleasant chap . He handed in a lovely basket of fruit and veg which we appreciated. Wish the pool had been a couple of degrees warmer but it was the start of September ( we still used it and once you were in it was ok the hard part was getting in lol ) . The near by town Castelnuovo was only a 10/15min drive down the valley and had a supermarket shops cafes etc. It also has a train station which was handy for some of our day trips. Overall we had a lovely holiday .
The house is very nice and so is the landlord. He comes every morning to clean the pool:)
The view from the house is also very nice. The garden is huge and beautiful.
There are a lot of serpentine roads which you need to travel to reach the house and also cities nearby. Beach, Lucca, Pisa, cinque terre are all about 1h-1.30h away.
The weather was a bit rainy (first week in June) and it was not very warm (22 degrees). I do not know though whether this is usual, or was exceprtional. Anyway, the house is somewhat in the mountains but not very high altitude (I think it was about 800 hm).
Prachtig huis in een schitterende omgeving. Bijzonder vriendelijk eigenaar illario die elke dag netjes het prachtige landschap zwembad kwam schoonmaken. Een heerlijke vakantie gehad echt genoten.
Wir hatten eine wunderbare Woche. Alles war super der Pool der Gastgeber und das Gelände. Wir haben viele Tips bekommen für Ausflüge in die Umgebung und direkt am Grundstück liegt ein Fluss den wir mit Kindern und Hund erkundet haben.
Der Pool war ein wenig kalt, aber sehr sauber,
was wohl an der Reisezeit Ende September lag.
Das Objekt war sauber. Der Vermieter sehr freundlich. Das einzige waren die Blattwanzen, die wohl einen Unterschlupf für den Winter gesucht haben, waren etwas lästig.
Alles in allem ein schöner Urlaub.

Nous avons passé un agréable séjour dans cette location.
Maison très agréable, propre et bien équipée mais un peu sombre.
Très bon accueil. Belle région mais location loin des sites si on souhaite visiter (routes très sinueuses) en moyenne 1H 30, idéale pour les marcheurs ou pour se reposer au calme. Belle piscine dommage qu'elle ne soit pas un peu chauffée un peu fraiche pour moi.
Je recommande cette location
Tolles Haus mit großem Pool, schöne Lage, hilfreicher Gastgeber
Wir waren zum zweiten Mal hier und waren wieder wunschlos glücklich! Ein sauberes, gut ausgestattetes Haus in malerischer Umgebung mit zwei schönen Terrassen und einem tollen großen, gut gepflegtem Pool. Klasse auch, dass es einen Pizza-Ofen gibt und ausreichend Holz zur Verfügung gestellt wird, davon haben wir gerne Gebrauch gemacht.
Zwar sollte man sich darauf einstellen, für die meisten Ziele wie etwa zum Einkaufen ins Auto steigen zu müssen, aber es ist ja genau diese isolierte Lage, die wir zum Ausgleich in einem entspannten Urlaub suchen.
Besonderen Dank an Ilario, der immer freundlich war, gute Tipps für die Umgebung gegeben und bei einer Autopanne mit seiner schnellen tatkräftigen Hilfe alle Erwartungen übertroffen hat. Sorry, dass wir das Haus wegen der eiligen Abreise und des Regens dieses Mal nicht so sauber hinterlassen haben.
Wir kommen gerne wieder!
Wir durften dieses schöne Haus knapp 2 Wochen lang bewohnen. Die Beschreibung zum Haus war sehr irreführend und wir fuhren 1-2 Stunden durch die Gegend um das Objekt zu finden. Leider wurde das Objekt von den Mamorierten Baumwanzen regelrecht durchseucht, so dass wir pro Abend ca. 30-35 Tierchen ausquartiert haben. Die Tierchen Niesteten sich gerne u.a in unser Bett und Klamotten ein. Es war sehr ekelig und wir schliefen nicht jede Nacht gut. Leider gingen die Tiere auch in unseren Koffer sodass wir noch lange was davon hatten.
Bei einem Objekt in der Preislage kann ich dichtere Fenster Und Türen erwarten. Der Hausmeister war sehr freundlich und hat sich viel Zeit zur Erklärung für Ausflugsziele genommen.
Wir werden trotzdem nicht wiederkommen aufgrund der Erfahrung.
Fantastisk vert som hjalp oss når vi trengte verdt. Stort område uten forstyrrelser fra naboer oss. Fordel med bil da det er ca 5 km til butikk/sentrum
