If you love seclusion, this is the place for you. The house and pool are beautifully situated in the middle of the mountains. Pure nature.

We loved our stay at the villa. There was plenty of room and the kids loved the pool. The hosts were helpful. There is plenty to do in the surrounding area and the cities of Lucca, Pisa and Florence are outstanding. The nearer towns of Barga and Castelnuovo are also very attractive. The area has recently been a center of attention on BBC with Amanda Holden, Rob Rinder and Clive Myrie. However, if you don't like heights and hairpin bends up a mountainside, this might not be the villa for you.

Wonderful place in a dream setting, secluded and peaceful. Angela and her husband are super available and take great care to make your stay as pleasant as possible. Thank you 2 for these 15 days of dreams, the Cailleaux family.

Previous rental via airbnb shortened and refunded (description inconsistent with what we found on our arrival), we urgently found this incredible property which corresponded in every way to our expectations: very beautiful interior volumes, a very well equipped kitchen, a beautiful private swimming pool and a breathtaking view of the mountain. And to top it all off, exemplary communication with our host. We sense people who want to please!!! Thank you again for the sweet attention at the start! We were very lucky to find you on Abritel

A typical house surrounded by nature welcomes you with great care! We really appreciated the breathtaking landscapes, the freshness of the walls, the very welcoming village and the perfect swimming pool. The house is very well equipped and the owner is very friendly. I recommend the "come a casa" catering service that she offers, a treat! I recommend this stay to anyone who wants a relaxing vacation. Thank you Angela, a week's vacation worth 2!

We had a wonderful holiday. A beautiful location, a beautiful house with a swimming pool that is cleaned every evening by the owners who are also very friendly. There is a gate between the pool and the terrace for safety. For the little ones there is a water bowl with a shower where they can have fun. The only disadvantage we found was that it was at least an hour's drive to visit towns. It is not far in kilometers, but the mountain roads make it much longer.

Perfect!

Elcriso is wonderful and we didn't want to leave. We were a group of friends who stayed for one month. The view from the terrace is incredible, the pool delightful and the house quite comfortable. Angelina provided meals on a number of occasions - her lasagne is the best! Angelina and the Villa rental company were very helpful throughout the month.

Arrival 15th July 

If you are looking for seclusion and relaxation, this is the place for you. The spacious house is very clean and tidy and is set in terraced grounds. The view of the Tuscan mountains and valleys remains unforgettable. The small bar above the house in Chiozza has everything you need for breakfast and on several evenings it also offers typical Tuscan antipasti, a few meat dishes and of course countless pizzas. With Angela, the owner of the house, you can order a very tasty, home-made menu several times a week. And if you really want to cook for yourself, you can reach the nearest supermarket after about 6 km. We - 6 friends - enjoyed 2 weeks of sunshine, blue skies and a well-kept pool. Excursions to the surrounding area and to Lucca were of course also included.

We were guests in Elricso as a family with 2 teenage girls and a German shepherd. The house is very clean and furnished with attention to detail. The pool was also clean and well maintained. We especially enjoyed sitting on the covered terrace with the great view. Angela was a very nice and always helpful host, thanks again for the tomatoes and the small farewell present! If you are looking for peace and seclusion, this is the right place for you. Since the property is in the mountains, it was never too hot, which of course was good for our dog. Thanks to our (adult) children ;-) we drove to the nearby village with its pizzeria "La Grotta". There is a fantastic antipasti platter that is easily enough as a main course ;-) Pizza and salads are also very tasty! For hiking we went to San Pellegrino in Alpe. I can only recommend it to everyone. We also undertook a long serpentine drive to Viareggio by the sea. It took us about 1.5 hours to get there. In about 20 minutes you are in Castelnuovo di Garfagnana, where there are several shops and restaurants. All in all, you can definitely recommend the accommodation. Especially for those looking for peace and quiet who have no problem with bends. ;-)

Situated up the mountain close to a small town Chiozza, the place is amazing for a perfect Tuscan holiday. Well equiped and spacious even for a large family. High points for the swimming pool.

Arrival 5 July

We enjoyed the house, pool and veranda. It is a comfortable house with a well-equipped kitchen, fine bathrooms and spacious bedrooms. The house is secluded and on top of a mountain. For peace seekers it is a lovely place.
