Excellent Location and great pool near the river
Arrival date: 6 July, 2024
When we saw the accommodation on site, we were truly speechless.
We have never experienced anything even more beautiful than the
pictures. Such a great house with a lovingly landscaped garden. The
furnishings are so tasteful and beautiful. You immediately felt at
home. We really enjoyed the peace and quiet and the wonderful
natural surroundings. Complete deceleration! The landlord Fabio is
what a great person. So nice and looked after you, left nothing to
be desired. Many thanks for that. It was simply fantastic.
Arrival date: 16 June, 2024
The Mill is a meticulously clean, superbly equipped little old
stone house in the hills near Campogiano. The house has been
beautifully renovated - lovely stone sink, comfortable bathroom,
great outdoor areas, nice pool, benches, two outdoor tables to eat
at. We grew quite attached to the house and were sad to leave.
Communication with Fabio was excellent. He stopped by to say hello
- beyond the call of his duty - and answer our questions. He was
always responsive and courteous. Overall, a terrific time.
Arrival 22/09/23
The house and pool are wonderful! The way there was difficult to
find at first, but with the help of a video via WhatsApp from the
manager Fabio, it worked out easily. Contact with the manager was
always easy, helpful and very nice! After a week we were provided
with fresh linen and towels. The old mill is superbly equipped.
There is a wide variety of dishes available. The building itself
was nice and cool due to the stone walls during the day and
pleasantly warm in the evening (when it got cooler at night -
September). There are fly screens in front of every window, so you
can leave the windows open at night to ventilate! The pool was
fantastic and the grill also worked excellently. A beautiful meadow
all around. You are very alone there - that has to be clear to you.
You are already dependent on a car. But we loved this solitude!
Overall we had a wonderful 12 nights!
Arrival 10/09/2023
I can only recommend the holiday home for anyone who likes to go
on an active holiday. There were four of us and we really enjoyed
the beautiful, very mountainous area. However, if you want to go on
a seaside holiday, you have to expect a 2-hour drive.
Arrival 19/08/23
There were 4 of us in the house (2 children). The location of
the house is wonderful. No mass tourism, this is the right place if
you're looking for peace and quiet. Only a 2 minute walk to the
river with a great swimming area and fishing opportunities (trout).
The house is typically Tuscan, pleasantly cool at night even in
August thanks to thick walls. Great private pool (9 x 4.50 and 1.20
deep). Everything is lovingly furnished and as described in the ad.
The kitchen equipment is great. Everything has really been thought
of. The nearest supermarket with a sufficient selection is 10
minutes away by car in Castelnuovo di Garfagnana. This is the
nearest larger town. We really have to highlight the landlords.
Fabio and Elisa are incredibly helpful. When we arrived we were
greeted with a welcome gift. Fabio had even gotten a fishing permit
for our son in advance. Unfortunately our car broke down on
arrival. Fabio not only got us a workshop appointment, he even
drove us and in the days when we didn't have a car and couldn't go
shopping, he repeatedly offered us help and got us bread and
brought us fruit from his garden. We always vacation in holiday
homes and therefore have a lot of experience - and we have never
had such a caring landlord before. A very big thank you! That
rounded off the vacation. Highly Recommended!!!

Perfect house at a perfect quiet location. The house offers everything you need. Also the private swimming pool is very nice. The big garden makes the picture complete.

We are very happy with the holiday that has just ended and we thank Fabio for his kindness and constant availability and professionalism. A quiet place, almost out of time, where you wake up with the crowing of the rooster and the sound of the river. You can take walks immersed in nature, visit many suggestive places a few kilometers away, such as the Grotta del Vento, Lake Vagli and small villages. You can dive into the large swimming pool and sunbathe undisturbed from morning to evening, having lunch and dinner in the garden, in absolute relaxation! We absolutely recommend going!

Very nice place to stay, inside and out. Everything was there that you need. Including a small welcome gift. The owner was friendly and always available for questions. Communication via Whatsapp app quickly and easily. He even brought us fresh raspberries. The area is particularly suitable for hiking. The location of the house is a bit isolated, but this is stated in the description. You have to like that. The next supermarket is about 10 minutes away by car and you have to rely on a car or something else if you want to experience something. We definitely recommend: Pisa, Lucca and Florence as well as the Orecchiella nature park and the Verrucole archeopark. The people everywhere were always friendly and helpful.
