Reviews
We went as a group of 12 and had a wonderful holiday. We had
enough space inside and outside the house, the rooms were very
clean and with a beautiful view of the tuscan mountains.
The Kitchens were well equipped and catered to all our needs, the
Pool is big and perfect for a refreshment in between. Thank you for
a lovely time!

- The villa was more beautiful that the photos even depicted. That's very unusual in real estate pics, normally the pics are grandiose and the reality is somewhat reduced! In this instance, the villa, the ambience, the rooms, the fit out, were all exceptional and better than imagined.
- Our chef Martina was a darling. She was perfect for our crew. Once she realised what we were looking for, she was all over it... rabbit with figs fresh from the garden - we were in heaven!
- Roberto... ahhh what a character...a total gem. He was fabulous. Everything you'd need in a manager of a property - efficient, kind, welcoming, happy to help... As were the cleaning crew - super lovely.
- Aside from that, I could rave on and on about the views, but really what's hard to capture until you're in a rental is the feeling. And this place is a gentle embrace with plenty of room to find your space. It has an incredible feeling to it and that's unique.
So thank you to the team there . We'll be back. Absolutely
perfect time was had by all of us.

We stayed for one week, two families meeting there from the UK
and the other from Germany. We have done this a number of times
over the years, in love with Tuscany, and each time we have stayed
in a different property. This house is one of the best we have
stayed in, it's in a beautiful location, extraordinary views across
the valley, beautiful at night actually, the pool is perfect,
gorgeous gardens, many bedrooms and many bathrooms, and even two
kitchens. So for the latter, the reason for this is that the house
really consists of two apartments, one on one floor and the other
on the floor below, but you can treat it as a normal house; in
fact, the young people in our group, all the children, took the
lower part of the house to themselves, and the rest of us in the
top half which worked well, we always ate together in the upper
part on the terrace, the beautiful terrace, compliments to the
gardeners! The house is 20 minutes to Barga, 40 minutes to Lucca et
cetera, I would advise not going much further at the valley in
terms of distance from things, but this position is good. The
villager is very pretty and very very quiet, apart from the sound
of families, there is no shop I think, there did seem to be a
restaurant, it's striking how this village looks as though it's
been hewn from the mountain, somehow humans and nature in harmony,
something that seems to have been temporarily lost in the modern
world.

We enjoyed every moment at this authentic villa situated at the
most breathtaking Mountain View side. House was exactly as
advertised- actually even better, lot of amenities - situated
slightly outside all the 'fuzz' yet close enough to attractions and
cultural places as well as excellent restaurants a short drive away
in Lucca.
Arrival 15/07/23
It was exactly what the ad said, a perfect house for a large
company; beautiful surroundings, and we had the best time
there!
Arrival 01/07/23
We had an incredible 10 day vacation in Borgo o Mozzana. The
home was perfect for our group of nine people and there were plenty
of rooms for everyone to spread out. We enjoyed using the house as
a home base while we drove all throughout Italy. Roberto was an
excellent property manager who ensured that we had everything we
needed, including some extra fans on one night that was a bit warm.
Our favorite night was the night we made dinner and ate up on the
third-floor patio. One thing should be noted is that the house is
approximately 3 km up a very steep road with some hairpin turns.
Not for the feint of heart, but the views are definitely worth it
and the home was lovely!
Arrival 21/06/23
Beautiful Villa in a majestic location with all the amenities
you could possibly require to make your stay a pleasant one. The
whole family enjoyed the pool, table tennis table and BBQ provided.
The mountain views are spectacular and the 3 levels gave everyone a
chance to find their own space when needed. Only drawback was the 4
klms of narrow winding road to get to the Villa from the main road
but we would definitely return.
