"The house is an absolutely stunning location. Breath taking views every morning, even if the weather did always play ball. There are some lovely areas to walk in and explore nearby and a few very nice local restaurants but these can get booked up very quickly. Even when it was raining we enjoyed our stay as the dense forests provided plenty of cover and there are excellent trips to caves and nearby cities such as Lucca and Barga that are easy drives. The roads in the valley are quite narrow but traffic is generally very light so you I'd recommend not renting an SUV as it makes it much more challenging to pass other cars at points. "

"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! "
