Very nice location (in the middle of nowhere), spectacular
views, we spent a very relaxing first week of September 2024.
Temperatures dropped at night, we slept very well with open
windows, did not miss air-conditionning. We very much enjoyed the
pizza oven, using it every second day. It became a family event
with everyone involved.

Highly recommend staying at this gorgeous villa hidden in the
Carrera Mountains. Kitchen is plenty stocked to cook any meal you
desire and the pool provides entertainment for days.

I have never been to a property location this beautiful before.
When we were shown around the grounds we were are all in awe. An
absolutely exquisite spot. Mountains, trees and a very light
sprinkling of villages surround you. The property is in fantastic
order throughout and very well equipped. Thanks to the hosts who
were immensely helpful, too. Can't rate it highly enough.

We enjoyed a week in this wonderful villa. We can only recommend
this house. It is really nice.

My family of 7 spent the week here at the end of May. It is an
absolutely stunning property in the Tuscan countryside. The
pictures do not do this place justice. The home, garden, pool and
facilities are immaculate - you could not ask for the wrong thing.
My son and I played table tennis for hours with the mountains as a
backdrop! The mountain bikes are brand new, just make sure you have
your energy drinks as there are lots of hills! The pizza oven was
great fun and easy to use and all other kitchen utensils and
appliances were available making any self catering a real breeze.
The drive to the property is narrow and windy but we managed fine
in a 9 seater van, just go slowly. There is lots to do in the area;
trips to Lucca and Cinque Terra are recommended. The property is
looked after by a local family, who are really friendly and helpful
- although Google translate is a must!

House, garden and views are wonderful and mostly you will just hear bird song and insects. A highlight was a meal cooked by Alessandra and family. Surprisingly good local shops as a bonus and enough fireflies in the evening for a discotheque. A little remote for hard core sight seeing which was fine

We had a very nice time and the house corresponds exactly to the
descriptions. It is wonderful.

A wonderful holiday in a grandiose, well-equipped house that
leaves nothing to be desired. Everything was really excellent - the
communication on site was very friendly and always helpful, the
house and garden are very well maintained and super clean. The view
of the mountains is breathtakingly beautiful. The road to the house
is indeed adventurous and it is best to bring groceries directly
with you. During the stay we thought carefully about every
purchase, since you've been away for a while. For whom this is not
a problem: absolute booking recommendation!

The house, grounds, and views are incredible. We took pictures of the mountains across the valley almost every time we went outside. The pizza oven is lots of fun. It's a great place to get away from the touristy places, relax and enjoy some authentic Italian small towns. The downside is that the property is located off the beaten path so be prepared to drive at least 15 minutes to get anywhere; the final 1 km to the house is on a very narrow, winding road with no room for error. The housekeepers that manage the property don't speak English, so come prepared to communicate via What's App and an Italian/English Google translator. The one thing we found a bit frustrating is that the owners require that garbage be removed from the property; this would not be a problem if there were garbage bins nearby but there are none so guests are expected to find and use garbage bins on someone else's property in nearby towns.
Lonely location, car necessary, the private road is hardly passable with a large SUV. Contact person always available promptly.
5 stars
The villa is located in the middle of the green in an isolated and silent position with a breathtaking view of the valley below and the Apuan Alps, ideal for a stay in complete relaxation, without a noise or disturbance. It is very well structured with a large ground floor organized in such a way as to allow everyone their own privacy, while upstairs the four bedrooms are large and bright, each with its own large and comfortable bathroom. The pool is simply beautiful, overlooking the valley with an incredible view of the mountains and its water is salty !!! The welcome and support from Diego and Alessandra was the best we could have and a big thank you to them. Truly a stay that we will dream of for a long time to come !!!!
