Description

Wonderful farmhouse conversion, ideal for a group of couples or small families wishing to holiday together but with individual facilities. Private pool, stunning views! 7 hectares of land, with grassland, chestnut woods, stream. 7 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms. Walk to facilities.

Eleonora is a wonderful farmhouse conversion set in 7 hectares of land providing accommodation perfect for a large group of couples or small families, or maybe those with teenagers wanting a little independence.
The property boasts absolutely stunning views, and has 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms in total, split over 5 separate independent units sleeping 15 plus 2 guests.
All apartments are included in the price, along with private and exclusive use of the vast gardens, chestnut woods and pool with stupendous views.
Each apartment is self contained with private eating areas, and there is also a large area for the entire group to enjoy al fresco dining and relaxing, complete with outdoor kitchen area and your very own traditional pizza/bread oven. For when the entire group wishes to eat together inside, there is a communal dining area too, complete with dishwasher.

Whilst the accommodation is simple it is beautifully presented, sparkling clean, and the entire site has a wonderfully relaxing feel with amazing views all around.  There are plenty of outdoor areas for al fresco dining/relaxing and taking in the views, and places to be in peace away from the rest of the group. The grounds are vast and interesting, and at one point, around 100M from the house down country slopes you will find the most amazing aviary with a collection of very rare birds, chickens and peacocks. A real treat for both children and adults to see and the owner tries to leave freshly laid eggs of varying unusual colours for guests on arrival.

Perfect place for an unforgettable family holiday

We have had the most amazing family holiday in this beautiful accommodation, it was absolutely perfect, all the rooms are full of character and very traditional. Everywhere was immaculately clean, the grounds are perfectly maintained and the views are spectacular. The hosts were second to none, so friendly and helpful. We couldn't have asked for more.

Beautiful, quiet and cool cottage

If you are looking for a nicely decorated and quiet (and cool) vacation rental in a magnificent environment, this is the perfect place. On the other hand, be aware that you would be far from the key sites of Tuscany. We were a group of 14 people and we divided ourselves into the 6 rooms in which it was still a little cramped for some. There is a large shared dining room where there is a washing machine and dishwasher a large sink. Unfortunately there is no possibility for cooking in this room. As a result, we had to cook for 14 in the small kitchen niches of the different accommodations. The logistics of the meals were therefore a bit difficult. But once the meal was served on the beautiful table on the terrace with this magnificent view of the Apuan Alps, this inconvenience was quickly forgotten! In the beautiful little house there is only one bathroom for 5 or even 6 people. The house is very beautiful and the land is immense. Many thanks to Emanuele and his wife (owners) who were more than available to our various and varied requests!

Paradise!

The property is fantastic and the view enchanting! Emanuele and his family are the perfect hosts -- attentive, responsive, but extremely discreet. The house is beautiful, well-appointed, and absolutely spotless, and the outside matches the inside with countless corners to relax and enjoy the panorama, including the lovely swimming pool overlooking the majestic peaks and valleys of the Garfagnana.

Relaxing Accommodation within great nature

The owner is very nice and supportive. Everything worked fine. We had a relaxing week at the resort. The view of hills and mountains is great. The spacious complex offers a lot of individual space. The individual apartments are individually, attractively designed and well equipped. It was very quiet (no street or neighbors). Bakery and butcher 1km away - restaurants 4km away.

Fabulous place in the mountains

We enjoyed our week at the house. The views across the valley were amazing and ever changing. The house was clean, comfortable and much more spacious than expected-plenty of indoor and outdoor facilities for eating and socialising as a group or various spaces to read or just appreciate the view. It is well stocked for self-catering. The individual apartments allowed for some privacy and space and the pool was fabulous and much appreciated on hot, sunny days The owner and his family were very welcoming and on hand if anything was needed. He visits the estate daily to tend to the various animals and birds they keep there (you are welcome to visit them during your stay). The house is set up the valley from the village, which means there is plenty of privacy but a car is needed to get around the area. Being up in the hills meant it was cooler at night-much appreciated for a good nights sleep! There is plenty of walking and sightseeing in the area and it is only a 6 minute drive to the train station which takes you to Lucca and the local towns in between, if you'd prefer to leave your car. Do try and get to the Il Merendero Pizzeria in the village if you can. An extra treat were the daily displays from the magical fireflies and the star gazing at night. A beautiful setting and house-a memorable holiday for us all.

Fantastic

We celebrated our parents' 80th birthday with my siblings and their families for a week in the Eleonora farmhouse and it was just fantastic. From the small children and teenagers to the grandparents, everyone enjoyed their stay very much. Everything was just perfect: the landscape, the location, the view, the apartments and grounds, the pool, the animals, not to mention Emanuele and his family who were incredibly helpful in taking care of everything - you couldn't ask for better hosts to wish! And everything was even nicer than in the pictures! It was really difficult for us to leave. Thank you very much for this unforgettable week!!!

Great villa with a fantastic view over the mountains

Large house with several apartments We rented the whole house for ourselves. Beautiful pool, beautiful view. The only downside for us were the long driving times to, for example, the cities in the area. Because of the remote location in the mountains you were in the car for a long time every time.

Great house in beautiful surroundings

The house is very beautiful and perfect for people who are looking for peace and quiet or who want to be undisturbed. The view is beautiful and there is also a lot of space on the property. The landlord is really very nice and uncomplicated, you could reach him at any time and he always supported us when we needed him (e.g. when looking for a suitable restaurant). We can fully recommend the house and would come back anytime!
