Design house in Tuscan style surrounded by nature

Surrounded by the nature of the Val Pedogna, near the natural park of the Alpi Apuane, in a secluded and quiet position, the Residence “Ai Sorbi” is a perfect place for a relaxing holiday. The entire property has been recently renovated and equipped with elegant furniture, with the typical Tuscan architecture mixed up with a modern style. The owner Andrea Salvetti is an artist who built this home with the help of some of the best designers (E.Sottsass, G.Pesce,A.Ciffo etc.). Moreover, the position of the house is really perfect, since it is surrounded by the nature of a valley but 22 km away from Lucca and 35 km away from the sea. You can easily reach the Garfagnana, with its typical products (porcino mushrooms, chestnuts flour and hulled wheat), as well as Pisa, Florence, Siena and other Tuscan destinations. The stone swimming pool is 13x6 m and you can get to the property through 500 m of a paved road.

There are two properties at this location, we stayed in the standoff farmhouse nearest the drive. A wonderful quirky Italian farmhouse which is well looked after. The views are incredible and are not easily surpassed. This property does not have aircon or WIFI but is equipped with fans and window shutters. WIFI signal is available if you approach the main farmhouse property. There is a lovely swimming pool which is shared between the two properties, it is well maintained and does not feel cluttered. The views and peacefulness of the location are outstanding and is ideal for an escape from normality. Not necessarily ideal for teenagers unless they are content with limited outside contact - but for adults wanting a relaxing and peaceful holiday it is ideal. Our host Patrizia is very friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. You will need a car for this location as walking to the nearest village is difficult given the narrow roads and hilly countryside.

Lovely Italian retreat!
We enjoyed our stay in this cottage in the Italian mountains. Although weather was not the best, the fellas still tried out the outdoor pool. Our host, Patrizia was very responsive even answering our call after midnight as we were a bit lost trying to find the location in the dark. The cottage is very well equipped and the beds were very comfortable although WiFi was non existent in the unit we stayed in. Also having 2 bathrooms was a bonus with 4 adults. Overall we had a very nice stay!

Our second stay here!
We first stayed in this property (Sorbi) 3 years ago, and returned this summer as we all had such great memories of the holiday here. We were not disappointed! The house itself is spotlessly clean with 2 bathrooms and a fully equipped kitchen. The outside space includes the beautiful pool, table tennis area in the shade and swing/ see saw area, as well as several areas with chairs and tables. The view is amazing and the quiet- just the sound of the crickets and church bells. We had a great time here with teenagers aged 13 and 15. We did day trips to Lucca, Pisa and Florence. We also spent time exploring the local area and beautiful villages. A car is essential, and take food and basic supplies with you. We highly recommend this villa!

Beautiful location although remote, well worth a visit
The house was well equipped with plenty of room, beautiful kitchen with large eating area, parts of the house are quirky but very tasteful done, the pool area was beautiful with sun beds either side, idea place for families or couples to enjoy the peaceful setting, a car is essential due to the location ideally taking basic supplies with you on arrival, large supermarket situated 15 minute drive away, found local restaurants excellent. A trip to Lucca is a must ( the walled city ) Patricia was an fabulous host nothing to much trouble

Great Place for Home Base
I loved the place. We had a family vacation and this was "home base" for two weeks while we wandered Italy. It is very modern. The owner was very accomodating. I gave it 4 out of 5 stars for two reasons - 1 - it was a bit remote if one wanted city action and 2 - There were no cleaning fluids such as dishwasher soap, very little in the way of condiments such as salt & pepper. I would highly recommend this place and may just go back again. Beautiful view of the mountains and nice & quiet after a long day out & about. Local restaurants, specifically Il Bivio, were excellent!! And little "Blackie" the kitty was a nice greeter. Loved the fact all the windows opened up for fresh air during the day. Lovely spot!

Wonderful pool.
Wonderful location on top of a hill with great view of the valley! The house is beautiful, spotless clean and well equipped! In the description it says "wifi available" but it is not functional and will probably never work properly! So don't count on it or on mobile connection either. The pool is just wonderful! It's large, fresh and always clean! We loved it and spent lots of time dashing around it! Location good, short drive to supermarket and to Lucca! Would definitely recommend to anyone and would love to come back!

Enjoyed our stay
A beautiful house on top of the mountain. Great views, fully equipped kitchen, good beds and a great and beautiful pool. The road to the house is not for everyone. My wife is scared of heights so that did not help. My daughter and I loved the little off road part. One point of critism: the house is a little bit smelly. Maybe because of the workshop that is attached to the house. I let Patrizia know and she told me she would address it.
