Great house with modern furnishings, where nothing was missing. Good mattresses, beautiful new bathrooms, high standard, fantastic view. The pool was clean, well maintained and used daily. Paolo was a great host who was always available to offer help and advice. His brother Luca made the best pizza in Italy for us. It was a wonderful and unforgettable holiday all round!

I had incredible holiday with my family. The place is peaceful and surounded by nature ; the view on the mountains is amazing. The host, Paolo, is very kind and available for any question you have. I recommend this place !
Arrival date: 20 July, 2024

Ideal place to de-stress and relax. Complete peace and quiet with only beautiful nature around you. The owner awaits you on arrival at the driveway. Gifts for the dogs, drinks and snacks, gifts for the pool, the Belgian flag are all things that make you feel very welcome. We missed NOTHING in the cottage, everything is very nice and cared for. The pool and garden with a volleyball net, football pitch, darts and petanque court were great activities for in between. The pizza evening provided by the owner Paolo together with his son and brother-in-law was sublime. We enjoyed delicious pizzas à volonté in a very relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommended. Supermarkets, restaurants are very close by. We will certainly miss the beautiful house and its surroundings. Thanks again to Paolo for making it an unforgettable holiday for us.
Arrival date: 6 July, 2024

We really liked this fantastic house and garden and amazing views. The kitchen were fully equipped, and a garden grill, and a pool in the garden, we couldn´t ask for more. The host Paolo was very accommodating. The setting of this property is relaxing and very silent, you only hear the birds in the forest. If you like, go to the nearest village Pieve Fosciana and eat at he Il Pozzo, very good food.
Arrival date: 21 June, 2024

This very well-kept and spacious home leaves nothing to be desired: 3 large double bedrooms on the upper floor, one with TV and 2 further sleeping options between the 2 bedrooms. There are also 2 bathrooms with showers. On the ground floor there is a very well-equipped kitchen, 2 living rooms, 1 with TV, shower room and cellar with washing machine. The WIFI was very good.

The outdoor area is a dream: a great view, a large pool, a football pitch with 2 goals, a volleyball court with net, a boules court, a table tennis table, a darts table, a pizza oven & BBQ area. There are various sunbeds & seating areas& several parasols.

The house is in an absolutely sole location: good, because it is very quiet, but note the way there is about 200m over a rather bumpy dirt road. The owner, Paolo, has built a footpath to nearby Pieve Fosciana especially for visitors. This marvellous path leads over 2 bridges & through the forest and takes 10 mins to reach the local bakery. It is wonderful to walk this path every morning.

Excursions: Lucca is 50 mins by car, to Pisa it takes  80 mins. Florence is 120 mins, here exit at Prato Est and take train from Sesto Fiorentino (Park & Ride). Barga with its market is wonderful. The Wind Caves area great and impressive excursion, do the 2hr tour. I also recommend a trip to Vaglipark, especially for the adventure via the ZipLine. There are good places to eat locally, the prices are affordable (we went to Il Pozzo in Pieve Fosciana & da Gherardo in Castelnuovo - both very good).

My huge thanks go to Paolo for his overwhelming hospitality, where every wish is read from your eyes. I also have fond memories of the evening with his brother-in-law Luca and his son Lorenzo, when they baked the best pizza fresh from the oven that I have ever eaten (and I have eaten many). Grazie mille for this great holiday!
Arrival: June 2024

Everything was perfect! We spent a nice stay in Solceta. The house has got everything we needed. The lovely village is really near from the house with good ice creams and good pizzas!!!
Arrival 31/07/23

We had the best time for a week together with our 3 children. The house is situated in the perfect place. It is a very quiet place a few autominutes away from the road in the middle of the beautiful Tuscan nature. But yet also very close to the town, shops and restaurants. You can walk through the forest, which is an easy but beautiful walk! The property is spacious with large bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen area and living room. All very nice and very well cleaned! The garden is huge, excellent for kids to play. Besides the great pool they enjoyed table tennis, darts, football, volleyball and jeu de boules! We loved the pizza night that the owner organised together with his son and brother in law. All together we ate the best pizza's that they made for us in the pizza oven outside. Thanks once again Paolo, Lorenzo and Lucca! Almost every day we saw deers running across the field and the driveway. Don't hesitate about this holiday property, we can assure you it is absolutely amazing!
Arrival 23/9/23

We had a wonderful stay in this beautifully appointed and comfortable house that easily accommodated the six of us. Paulo (the owner) could not have been more helpful and welcoming. The local town is a short ten minute walk through the woods where there are options for eating, drinking and shopping. We had an electric car (EV) and were pleased to find charging options within walking distance. Thanks to Paulo and family for facilitating such a lovely two week stay.
Arrival 09/09/23

The house is really wonderful. It is quiet and secluded, which ensures pure relaxation. The house is very well furnished and very clean. The property is huge and there is a very nice pool. There were also plenty of outdoor activities. The pizza evening with Paolo and Luca was great. The pizza was absolutely delicious, the best pizza we ate on vacation. Paolo was always available via WhatsApp and was always friendly and helpful. Thank you very much for the two wonderful weeks.
Arrival 26/08/23

A superb holiday villa exceptional in every way Paolo the owner is more than attentive and his Pisa night with his son and brother in law is not to be missed I would recommend this home and a great location Thank you Paolo

Arrival 1st July 2023

We spent a whole week at this villa and it was a great time. No neighbours around, a lot of salamanders, very nice swimming pool and pefrect mountain view is what comes to mind at first. Rooms and bathrooms are nice and clean, in the kitchen there is everything you need to cook. You can go shopping in Coop that in nearby or in Conad Gallicano which is like 15min drive. Paolo is very helpful, he is always checking if all is ok and if you need some help or so. Pizza night organized by him and his family was a great experience, highlighted by his son Lorenzo stories about different types of pizzas. I strongly recommend this place if you are looking for some peaceful and quite place to relax

Arrival 20th June 2023

We enjoyed this beautiful property and surroundings during 4 weeks in Mai. The weather was not very pleasant but the last few days. Anyway, we found time to relax in the house and visited several nice villages in the area. All in all, the place deserves full recommendation. Thanks again to Paolo and his family for their hospitality, and the Pizza evening :).

Stay for 4 weeks in May 2023

Just wonderful. Even better than in the picture. Landlord very, very accommodating. Definitely recommended. Dreamlike house, a paradise Grazie Paolo!

Arrival 3rd June 2023

A great location set outside a small town which you can walk into for the bakery, shop and pub.

The villa was well thought out and was decorated beautifully. The beds were really comfortable, 3 large bedrooms and a mezzanine. It was well organised and spotless! There was so much kitchen equipment which made it easy to cook.

The pool was lovely and we had access to a BBQ, covered area, pizza oven, boules court, football and volleyball court. There were lots of walks and villages to visit and a supermarket nearby.

Paola came round one evening and cooked us pizza. It was a fun night getting to know them and great pizza, especially the chocolate and banana! They made us so welcome and nothing was to much trouble. We loved it and will be back.

Arrival 10th June

You can't really express how nice it was with only 5 stars if you weren't there yourself...!!! Wonderful, well-kept villa, where nothing is missing, with a fantastic environment embedded in nature with a panorama that is hard to beat... Beautiful pool regularly maintained by the owner with enough space in the large garden for loungers to relax... Also sporty could you do one or the other on the property, such as football on the small soccer field with two goals, table tennis, darts and other small board games for outdoors... The infinite peace and quiet on the property was only disturbed by the deer calling at night have sent, or interrupted by the wind that moved across the fields... Simply relaxation and pure peace...!!! Paolo, the landlord, super nice and helpful, always available with good tips for excursions and restaurants... Our two furry friends were also very welcome, they both got a dog toy and a bowl on arrival... We had a very nice evening at our "pizza evening" with Luca (brother-in-law), Lorenzo (Paolo's son) and of course Paolo, who prepared pizzas for us in their own pizza oven on the property... For someone who likes good and lots of pizza it's an unforgettable evening... Great NICE...Super DELICIOUS...Just perfect... Thank you, Grazie mille Paolo for three wonderful weeks...

Arrival 4 June 2022

The house is wonderful and the rooms are spacious. It looks even nicer in real life than in the photos. The quiet and secluded location ensures pure relaxation. The house is lovingly and stylishly furnished and is well equipped with all the items you need in everyday life. The house was super clean, especially the three bathrooms, which are very large and modern, which made you feel comfortable right from the start. Due to the special location, air conditioning was not missed on hot days, as it cools down sufficiently in the evening/at night. The property is very well maintained and generously dimensioned. In addition to the super large and clean pool, the house also offers plenty of space for other outdoor activities, such as Soccer, table tennis and boca. Here are also all the necessary items, such as goals, a table tennis table or even a bowling alley available. A special highlight for us was the pizza evening with the owner Paolo and his family. Here we were offered the best pizza of the whole holiday. Paolo and his family were great and always there for you. We had a wonderful and relaxing holiday and can only recommend this holiday home and the great care provided by the owner. The previous reviews. we can only agree, if there were 6 stars, we would also give them. Grazie mille Paolo e famiglia per il meraviglioso soggiorno!

Arrival 26 June 2022

For us it was a wonderful stay. The house was just great. It has everything you need. The landscape and surroundings just a dream. The house is off the public road and guarantees pure tranquility and seclusion. Many thanks to Paola, who always stood by with help and advice. Thanks to Paolo and Luca for the unforgettable pizza evening, with pizza from the in-house pizza oven. Our dogs had a perfect holiday too and felt like they were in heaven here. Actually, one can only say a perfect holiday in the perfect house. We would love to come back! Thank you and greetings Floris & family & dogs

Arrival 7 July 2022

The communication with the agency was absolutely professional, questions were always answered immediately, we were absolutely thrilled. We thought the house was great and we had a wonderful rest. The house has everything you need with children. We had a great time - thank you for that.

Arrival 16 July 2022

Very nice family vacation with a magnificent view :-)

Arrival 30 July 2022

Great house. Clean, quiet and lots of space. Exactly as described. Only the pool could be deeper :) otherwise perfect!

Arrival 21 Sept 2022

5 stars
I would also give 6 stars if there were. With the holiday home we have found accommodation that has more than met our expectations. The house is characterized by cleanliness and full equipment. If you are looking for peace and seclusion from the hustle and bustle, you will find paradise here. The Garfagnana is a beautiful region. Paolo, the owner, has thought of everything for a varied stay: in addition to the swimming pool, there are various sports facilities at the house, e.g. is available. In addition, he has a lot of excursion and restaurant tips ready. You can feel that someone with a lot of love for their homeland has created a paradise here...at least it was for us. A highlight was a pizza evening, where a wide selection of pizzas typical of the country were baked for us in the in-house pizza oven. Thank you for this break from everyday life.
Arrival 14th May 2022

5 stars

Once you have reached the property via the admittedly modest access road (paved dirt road, difficult for lowered vehicles), you will be compensated for everything: a dreamlike location with a distant view of the surrounding mountain peaks in complete tranquility. The house is excellently furnished, the kitchen equipment leaves almost nothing to be desired. The bathrooms and plumbing are in excellent condition, the large pool is clean and regularly serviced. Paolo (the owner) is always happy to help and advise and also organizes a pizza evening, where pizzas are baked in a wood-burning oven on the property. We enjoyed this very much like our entire stay. Rather unsuitable for excursions to the highlights of Tuscany, as it was too remote. Lucca can be reached in less than an hour. From the house you can walk wonderfully, hike by car in the surrounding mountains and there are numerous picturesque places to discover. Bakery (in the neighboring village) on an idyllic path within walking distance in 10 minutes.

Arrival 22 August 2021
