Description
Luxury property, private solar heated pool, stunning views, WIFI. 6 bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms.
Sleeping 13, plus 4, this is a beautiful, pristine and modern 6 bedroom property with large private infinity pool situated in the hills of the stunning Garfagnana.
This stunning 6 bedroom, 5.5 bathroom luxury villa, with solar heated private infinity pool is the perfect place for a relaxing holiday!
The six bedrooms comprise 5 doubles, (one of which can be made up as a twin) , and a room with 3 single beds. There are also sofa beds if required, sleeping a further 4 guests.
Four of the luxury shower rooms are en-suites, with a 5th shower room not ensuite, but boasting jack and jill basins, with bathroom number 6 being a cloakroom (with wc, basin and bidet).
This spacious, newly renovated modern and pristine place boasts luxury shower rooms, two designer kitchens, 2 dining areas and various living spaces, ideal for a large group, and if you wish you can split the property into a 4 bedroom and 2 bedroom property if you require more privacy between your guests.
The interior has been finished with top quality fixtures and fittings, so you can holiday in style!
Outside there is a fabulous 12m x 6m infinity style solar heated pool, with roman steps extending the size further. The pool area, overlooking wonderful mountain views, has extensive sunbathing areas with plenty of sunbeds (pool towels provided) and dotted around the villa are various nooks and crannies for relaxing away from the group too with a good selection of outdoor relaxing furniture. If you are feeling energetic there is table football and ping pong.
Children love the electronically gated garden and spend hours playing.
For dining al fresco there is a smaller table in front of the villa, and another for the entire group to eat together, to the side on a large terrace, where one can take in the vista whilst dining in style after cooking your meal in either of the two kitchens, or using the large bbq. For those little snacks and coffees, there are plenty of café style tables for you to grab a refreshment in peace from your group.
There is also a chef service, with the owners providing delicious meals on request at very reasonable prices. Why not celebrate an occasion, and stay in some evenings and be served authentic italian food on your terrace?
Set in the heart of the garfagnana this is a rural retreat, but one can walk to a fantastic little restaurant with homecooked food open friday/sat/sunday and there are plenty of places to eat out using your car too.
There is a reason for the wonderful reviews on site since this villa really is ideal for family celebrations, or for couples wanting a little luxury. A perfect treat!
Nb- owners live on site, but have separate entrance, garden and parking area, and they only arrive home late at night, leaving very early morning after cleaning pool. Privacy fully respected as you will see from reviews.

A little about the area
Nicciano is situated in the heart of the Garfagnana, surrounded by lush green countryside and stunning mountain scenery is what real rural Italy is all about.
The mediaeval village is a 5 minute walk way and there is a bar/basic shop for essentials. Just above the village is a little hamlet (10 minute walk cross country) which has a fantastic little family run restaurant where you can dine al fresco on exquisitely cooked home made and home grown food. This restaurant is open from Thursday to Sunday in high season and Friday to Sunday other times.
There is also a good pizzeria which is a 15/20 min walk away (or a couple of minutes by car).
The local village of Piazza Al Serchio with its bars, couple of restaurants, supermarket, train station, river and Tuesday morning market when the village comes alive, is say 3 minutes away by car.
The views from this extremely peaceful property are magnificent - the house overlooks the green and fertile Serchio valley, with views of the Apuane and Appenine Alps.
This really is the perfect location - an ideal place to unwind deep in the countryside, yet close enough to all local amenities, and a convenient base for exploring by car or train.
If you can tear yourselves away from the villa and pool, for sightseeing and days out why not try:
- Castelnuovo - local market town with Thursday morning market, regular festivals both cultural and musical and a bit of life… 25 mins
- Barga - beautiful mediaeval and arty little town with Cathedral, great architecture, and renowned restaurants. Cobbled streets and little piazzas, often graced with live music, jazz parades, or markets under the stars… 40 mins
- The Buffardello - climbing and zip wire park with courses suitable for both small children and the most adventurous of adults - 15 mins
- Fortress of Verrucole- amazing views from this mediaeval fortress, and there is also an interactive museum which youngsters tend to like as they can try their hand at a little archery too - 15 mins
- Lucca - At Lucca, one can hire bicycles and hire around the still intact City walls, meander through the cobbled streets, visit beautiful churches, climb towers, and shop til you drop, stopping off of course at wonderful restaurants and gelaterias... One can also listen to Puccini performances every night of the year, in one of the local churches ... Just over an hour
- Grotta del Vento - the amazing wind caves - well worth a visit - fantastic tour. Why not stop off a the old monastery for a wild trout lunch on the way back? 1 hr
- Pisa - with its famous tower- 90 mins
- Florence - 2 hrs
- The Cinque Terre- 2 hours
- Equiterme - thermal mud baths set amongst caves and a thermal swimming pool . one stop on train
- National Park of Orecchiella- less than 30 mins
- Parco Levegliese- outdoor adventure park with waterfall jumping, rock climbing etc - 1 hr

The property and the area were just amazing. We really didnt
want to leave! Views incredible and plenty to do for all ages. The
owners were extremely kind & helpful. Would live to go back
sometime to relive the dream.
Arrival date: 3 August, 2024
The owners/hosts of this property are the most wonderful people.
Very kind and very helpful with making recommendations and
reservations. The property is lovely and we would definitely come
back to this villa!
Arrival date: 18 September, 2024
Great place, met amazing nice people as hosts and neighbours.
The most beautiful place with an incredible view. We will come
back, we are not finished with this beautiful place.
Arrival date: 13 July, 2024.
This villa, location, and host are all SUBLIME. Simonetta
is kind, accommodating, and in constant contact for any of your
needs. Their home is beautiful, it is clean, and the amenities are
over the top. Upon arriving, there were pastries for us to enjoy.
Over the next week, we were given the opportunity to sample local
products, even some that they made themselves. We had coffee
available to us every morning too. The rooms and space was exactly
as described. The pictures of the property do not do it justice.
This is one of the most beautiful places we have ever been on
vacation. There were 10 of us for the stay and everyone had
everything they wanted and needed. There are grocery stores and
pharmacies nearby. It is a quiet area with zero tourists. The local
restaurants were delicious and fresh. The owners did a great job of
making us aware of locally sourced restaurants too! I would highly
recommend the chef service offered at the house. The menu is
impeccable and the chef is so kind and accommodating. We did dinner
two nights at the house and it was definitely a highlight.
Everything is paired nicely with wine too! The property is about 4
hours from Milan, 2+ from Florence, and other locations. I would
stay at this place over and over again. I hope we can get back
soon. Thank you to the owners, the property managers, the chef, and
everyone who made our stay a dream.
Arrival 27/09/23
Such nice and lovely accommodation with a fantastic pool and
view. The owners: Raffaello, Simonetta and her father are
absolutely wonderful and so helpful. So nice and concerned that we
should have a good time. They made the whole stay better! I can
really recommend this accommodation with five stars. Thank you so
much! Camilla, Fredrik & Oliver
Arrival 5th August 2023
We were made so welcome by the owners who went over and above
what we had hoped for. I could thoroughly recommend this property
for a lovely stay in the Italian mountains.
Arrival 22nd July 2023
Fantastic place, great time, great experience
Arrival 1st July 2023
The stay was very pleasant. There were 11 of us in the house.
The house is very spacious and comfortably furnished. We were given
small gifts almost every day; Bread, wine cakes, coffee.... The
owners were very attentive and friendly. We will be happy to visit
the villa again.
Arrival 27th May 2023
Beautiful Great villa Very nice hosts. Warm welcome and very generous welcome gift. Everything very clean. Very nicely furnished. Six bedrooms, two living rooms, two kitchens, six bathrooms, all great for family trips. We were there with 12 adults and 2 small children & it was absolutely wonderful! Many thanks!
Arrival 3 June 2023
We just had a one week stay here and had a fabulous stay! The villa is very spacious with more than enough room for my husband and me on the upper level and our 4 adult children plus 2 more family guests for a couple of nights.
Everything was provided so we didn't need to purchase anything other than food for the week. Simonetta and her dad Antonio were awesome and spoiled us all week! We arrived to a fully stocked fridge full of beverages and pizza and a dessert. When I told Antonio I didn't drink coffee, the next day I found my favourite tea. He picked fresh berries off of their farm and dropped them off and another day we had fresh hazelnuts delivered.
Whenever we had a question, Simonetta answered us right away. She also gave suggestions on fun things to do in town. On our final day, my son-in-law needed to find engine coolant and because it was a Saturday the gas stations were closed. He ran into Antonio in town and he took him to see his mechanic who ensured he got him what he needed. On our final night Simonetta made us a delicious lasagna and tiramisu complete with limoncello and more red wine to complete our wonderful vacation.
These personal touches will never be forgotten by this wonderful
family who owns this villa. They live at the villa but you never
see them except for Antonio who comes first thing in the morning to
clean the pool. The drive to get to the property was full of
beautiful scenery & mountainous, winding roads. So much beauty
all around us. The nearby medieval villages were nice to explore
too one was within walking distance. We did day trips to Cinque
Terre and Florence as well as Forte De Mari with its beautiful
beaches. We also enjoyed having some local gelato from Lago
Gramazzol, a beautiful lake a 10 min drive away. One of our
highlights was the night we hired Chef Alessio to cook for us! What
an incredible meal and experience. Even his table setting was
beautiful. What a lovely eve we had dining al Fresco under the
Tuscan hillside. Incredible stay and such special moments enjoyed
by our family. Will be remembered forever.

Arrival 20th August 2022
We enjoyed our holiday at Nicciano very much: the magnificent view, the carefully maintained pool, the professional table football, the table tennis table with rackets, the modern rooms. No wishes remained unfulfilled. But especially praiseworthy are the helpful, friendly and extremely generous hosts, who spoiled us with delicacies from the area.
5/5
An absolutely fantastic holiday experience in an extremely nice and cozy house. The pool is superbly located in relation to the house, especially when you have small children, and it is a perfect size. The view is breathtaking and the fact that the house is located in the mountains means that the temperature is pleasant. Everyone in the host family is extremely hospitable, friendly and generous. A truly unique experience for both children, teenagers and adults.

Arrival 9th July 2022
Our stay at Piazza al Serchio was wonderful. My husband and I brought our 3 children and their families to celebrate our upcoming 50th anniversary. In total we were 8 children, ranging in age from 3 to 16, and 8 adults Simonetta, Raffaello, and her father could not have been more accomodating They treated us to cake and some pizza upon arrival plus wine. When the local pizzeria could not accomodate 16 on a Sunday, they ordered for us and her father drove us 3 villages away to pick it up. They booked us a fabulous family meal with the unforgettable Roberto Divini The area, Gargagnana, is a little bit of mountainous heaven and a beautiful respite after touring Rome. The countryside, quaint villages and mountain lake are so memorable. Pisa and Lucca are close by plus we got to spend a day in the Cinque Terra. The villa was very inviting. The children and family loved the pool area and large terrace for family meals..This was a great place for a Tuscan vacation.

Simply exceptional! A luxurious villa with an infinity pool overlooking an exceptional view. Very welcoming owner. 2 bottles of prosecco and pizza on arrival. Fresh bread the next day. Wine and coffee pods at the end of the stay. Thank you so much !! The bedrooms are very large with en-suite bathrooms. Comfortable beds. Ping pong table. A delicious meal with a chef on the property. Villa located 1h30 from the five lands, 1h from Lucca and Massa, in a magnificent semi-mountainous region. We even went canyoning !! We highly recommend !!
Arrival 7 August 2021
We had the most wonderful holiday in the house. It worked really well to have a chef in charge of the cooking and the food was great! The host couple were so sweet and helpful and the house was so lovely and they get our best recommendations!

One thing is to find a beautiful home. Another thing is to find as well welcoming hosts who literally have hospitality in their DNA. We couldn't have asked for more. Whenever we needed recommendations or advice of what to do and where to go, the Host within seconds would get back to us. The house is modern, pristine and incredibly spacious. Perfect for children and pets to run around in the garden feeling safe that there is a fence all around. I could go on and on, but to put it in simple terms, just book and I can assure you that you will never want to leave. We will definitely return.
Arrival 31 July 2021

The villa and the area around was amazing, properly maintained, nice and very clean rooms and 2 well-furnished kitchens, much appreciated. Raffaello and Simonetta are very hospitable, offered countless amenities like wine, delicious local sausages and cooked Lasagne for all of us. We could simply text them via WhatsApp, they were very helpful booking tables for dinner and answered all our questions quickly. Everyone liked the house and especially the view. We would definitely go there again and can recommend this beautiful place to you. Thanks to Raffaello and Simonetta. See you soon
