A little about the area

Situated on the far edge of the peaceful pretty hillside village of San Romano, this house is ideally located for exploring, being just half hour or so  north of Lucca.
The village itself does not have any facilities, and has only 60 inhabitants although fresh bread, cheese and vegetables are sold here.
The villa is adjacent to the village on one side and has open uninterrupted countryside on the other…
The town of Borgo a Mozzano with its bars, restaurants, shops, small Friday morning market and train station are a 15 minute drive away.

A couple of things I wanted to share
  • The villa was more beautiful that the photos even depicted. That's very unusual in real estate pics, normally the pics are grandiose and the reality is somewhat reduced! In this instance, the villa, the ambience, the rooms, the fit out, were all exceptional and better than imagined.
  • Our chef Martina was a darling. She was perfect for our crew. Once she realised what we were looking for, she was all over it... rabbit with figs fresh from the garden - we were in heaven!
  • Roberto... ahhh what a character...a total gem. He was fabulous. Everything you'd need in a manager of a property - efficient, kind, welcoming, happy to help... As were the cleaning crew - super lovely.
  • Aside from that, I could rave on and on about the views, but really what's hard to capture until you're in a rental is the feeling. And this place is a gentle embrace with plenty of room to find your space. It has an incredible feeling to it and that's unique. 

So thank you to the team there . We'll be back. Absolutely perfect time was had by all of us.

Highly recommended

We stayed for one week, two families meeting there from the UK and the other from Germany. We have done this a number of times over the years, in love with Tuscany, and each time we have stayed in a different property. This house is one of the best we have stayed in, it's in a beautiful location, extraordinary views across the valley, beautiful at night actually, the pool is perfect, gorgeous gardens, many bedrooms and many bathrooms, and even two kitchens. So for the latter, the reason for this is that the house really consists of two apartments, one on one floor and the other on the floor below, but you can treat it as a normal house; in fact, the young people in our group, all the children, took the lower part of the house to themselves, and the rest of us in the top half which worked well, we always ate together in the upper part on the terrace, the beautiful terrace, compliments to the gardeners! The house is 20 minutes to Barga, 40 minutes to Lucca et cetera, I would advise not going much further at the valley in terms of distance from things, but this position is good. The villager is very pretty and very very quiet, apart from the sound of families, there is no shop I think, there did seem to be a restaurant, it's striking how this village looks as though it's been hewn from the mountain, somehow humans and nature in harmony, something that seems to have been temporarily lost in the modern world.

Amazing and authentic Tuscan villa

We enjoyed every moment at this authentic villa situated at the most breathtaking Mountain View side. House was exactly as advertised- actually even better, lot of amenities - situated slightly outside all the 'fuzz' yet close enough to attractions and cultural places as well as excellent restaurants a short drive away in Lucca.

Wonderful experience!

We had an incredible 10 day vacation in Borgo o Mozzana. The home was perfect for our group of nine people and there were plenty of rooms for everyone to spread out. We enjoyed using the house as a home base while we drove all throughout Italy. Roberto was an excellent property manager who ensured that we had everything we needed, including some extra fans on one night that was a bit warm. Our favorite night was the night we made dinner and ate up on the third-floor patio. One thing should be noted is that the house is approximately 3 km up a very steep road with some hairpin turns. Not for the feint of heart, but the views are definitely worth it and the home was lovely!

San Romano Villa

Beautiful Villa in a majestic location with all the amenities you could possibly require to make your stay a pleasant one. The whole family enjoyed the pool, table tennis table and BBQ provided. The mountain views are spectacular and the 3 levels gave everyone a chance to find their own space when needed. Only drawback was the 4 klms of narrow winding road to get to the Villa from the main road but we would definitely return.
