Family friendly gem in a quiet village
We had great time with Marina, Paolo. Before we arrived, Marina has prepared everything for my daughter. We even got a bottle of wine and home made fig jam upon our arrival. The villa itself is very beautiful with rustic Tuscany touch. It's extremely clean and equipped more than enough for a holiday villa. The location of the villa is on top of a hilly mountain. The driving isn't for fainted heart. But once you are used to it, its fine. The view is spectacular. It only takes 25mins to Lucca and an hour to beaches. Marina and Paolo are very friendly. They recommended us places for food and visits. My daughter enjoyed playing with the dog and cat, chasing after ants by the pool. I would definitely recommend the villa.

Cozy cottage with magnificent view and pool!
Our family of 4 stayed for a week in Il Forno and though it is the smaller cottage, it fit us well and was a good starting point to our daily travels. Also we were lucky enough to have some sunny days in October and relax in the pool with great views on Lucca! Marina and Paolo are amazing hosts - very warm, welcoming and helpful! They had a welcoming treat for us and booked us dinners in nice local restaurants, which you can reach by foot and have tasty meals at reasonable price. Their garden on the hillside is beautiful and peaceful, a perfect spot for countryside vacation, but still close enough to local villages and ancient town of Lucca. Understandably, with a gorgeous view comes a steep (and narrow) road up to the house, so you better have a smaller car and great driving skills. But it is totally worth it and also gets easier every time. Tuscan roads are a real driving lesson. :) Our children loved the place, especially the pool, but also Marina's dog and cats were special favourites of ours. It is a great place for rustic vacation, where we would definitely love to return! Grazie mille, Marina and Paolo, and lots of love from all of us!

Lovely rustic & rural cottage...but still close to many tourist attractions
We had a lovely week at Il Forno. If you love rural cottages then this is a real gem. c10 miles outside Lucca but you feel "away from it all" and with many cities/attractions within 90 mins drive from the property (Pisa, Florence, Cinque Terre) you can decide how active/inactive you want to be. Although the weather was fairly hot it was great to return to the pool each evening to cool off. Marina and Paulo made us feel most welcome and provided a welcome package including fresh vegetables from the garden..

We had an amazing stay and such wonderful views from this Mountain top cottage!
We have just returned from a lovely stay at this property. We are a family of four and would recommend it for the peace, tranquility, easy access to Florence (1 hour), Pisa (45mins) and Lucca (20mins). It is a great spot to access Tuscany and also a wonderful place to return to and the pool is fabulous with views across the valley to the Mountains the other side. Maria and Pablo (the owners) are wonderful hosts and very helpful. In the surrounding local village we ate the most amazing food with great views across the valley. Just to note, the roads are very narrow and the driveway to the property is rather steep and rugged - we have rather a low sitting rental car and not sure how the bottom of the car survived! So would recommend a narrow high up hire car! you can see why the Fiat 500 come from Italy! Thank you Maria and Pablo and we would love to come back again sometime! Lucy & Family

Just perfect
first of all the hosts - they have made a dream out of the natural location :-). Marina and Paolo, you are not only perfect hosts - but you also have excellent taste and zest for life. All this can be experienced in your apartments. We hoped for the perfect view of the Tuscan countryside and this expectation was even exceeded! We look forward to coming to you again.

Wunderschöner Urlaub
Wir waren im August zu Gast bei Marina und Paolo und es war traumhaft. Die Kommunikation vor Beginn unseres Urlaubs war bereits sehr nett. Als wir nach vielen Stunden Autofahrt endlich in der Ferienwohnung angekommen sind wurden wir sehr herzlich empfangen und uns wurde eine wunderschöne, sehr saubere Ferienwohnung übergeben. Bei Fragen stand uns Marina immer mit Rat und Tat zur Seite. Ob es um die Reservierung zum Abendessen ging oder allgemeine Fragen sie war immer für uns da. Unsere Tochter hat sich besonders am wunderschönen, großen Pool erfreut denn wir auch abends nach einem Ausflug noch nutzen durften. Es war einfach herrlich! Der gesamte Garten war top gepflegt und wir hatten mehrer Möglichkeiten draußen zu sitzen. Auch ein Grill stand uns zur Verfügung. Ich würde jederzeit wieder zu den beiden fahren. Wir haben unseren Urlaub genossen und uns sehr gut erholt. Vielen Dank Marina und Paolo für die schöne Zeit bei euch❤️

La dolce vita.
This place is fantastic. The pool, the view, the great hospitality by Marina and Paolo. That's how we remember the Toscana. It was a pleasure staying with Marina for 9 days. She is so helpful and friendly and always open for a nice chat by the pool. Her recommendations where always great. We had a fantastic vacation. Thanks again Marina.

Oase zum Wohlfühlen
Die Unterkunft hatte alles, was wir brauchten. Sie liegt sehr ruhig mit einem wunderschönen Blick auf das Tal. Trotzdem ist sie zentral für Ausflüge, z. B. nach Lucca - einfach wunderschön, nach Siena, Pisa oder die in kleinen aber feinen Orte der Umgebung, wie z. B. Montecarlo oder die Sommerresidenz von Bonapartes Schwester. Nach Wanderungen oder Ausflügen lädt der Salzwasserpool zur Erfrischung ein. Die Gastgeber sind sehr fürsorglich und unterstützend. Sie sind immer erreichbar, bestellen auch einen Tisch in einheimischen Gaststätten. In der Ferienwohnung liegt ein Informationsordner mit Hinweisen über interessante Ausflüge. Insgesamt haben wir den Urlaub sehr genossen.

A wonderful stay in a dream location!
My partner and I had an absolutely fantastic stay here! The location is great whether you want to just stay by the pool and enjoy the incredible views over Lucca or venture out with a car to visit nearby places (Lucca ~25mins drive, Florence ~1hr drive, Pisa <1hr). Marina is an absolutely lovely hostess and she's put together a very useful information pack which you'll find in the accommodation when you arrive. The accommodation itself is very cosy with a rustic Tuscan theme which feels very authentic and welcoming. The kitchen is very well stocked with equipment (coffee machine, dishwasher, all kinds of utensils, there was some salt/pepper/oil which had been left by previous guests) so you won't be missing anything once you've done a food shop (there's a great supermarket, Esselunga di Marla ~15mins drive away). The gardens around the accommodation are beautiful and there are several different possible locations to enjoy a meal or drink outside, one of which includes a barbecue.
