A great week

The Mill is a meticulously clean, superbly equipped little old stone house in the hills near Campogiano. The house has been beautifully renovated - lovely stone sink, comfortable bathroom, great outdoor areas, nice pool, benches, two outdoor tables to eat at. We grew quite attached to the house and were sad to leave. Communication with Fabio was excellent. He stopped by to say hello - beyond the call of his duty - and answer our questions. He was always responsive and courteous. Overall, a terrific time.

Wonderfully relaxing holiday

The house and pool are wonderful! The way there was difficult to find at first, but with the help of a video via WhatsApp from the manager Fabio, it worked out easily. Contact with the manager was always easy, helpful and very nice! After a week we were provided with fresh linen and towels. The old mill is superbly equipped. There is a wide variety of dishes available. The building itself was nice and cool due to the stone walls during the day and pleasantly warm in the evening (when it got cooler at night - September). There are fly screens in front of every window, so you can leave the windows open at night to ventilate! The pool was fantastic and the grill also worked excellently. A beautiful meadow all around. You are very alone there - that has to be clear to you. You are already dependent on a car. But we loved this solitude! Overall we had a wonderful 12 nights!

Summer vacation

I can only recommend the holiday home for anyone who likes to go on an active holiday. There were four of us and we really enjoyed the beautiful, very mountainous area. However, if you want to go on a seaside holiday, you have to expect a 2-hour drive.

Great house in Tuscany - fantastic and unforgettable vacation

There were 4 of us in the house (2 children). The location of the house is wonderful. No mass tourism, this is the right place if you're looking for peace and quiet. Only a 2 minute walk to the river with a great swimming area and fishing opportunities (trout). The house is typically Tuscan, pleasantly cool at night even in August thanks to thick walls. Great private pool (9 x 4.50 and 1.20 deep). Everything is lovingly furnished and as described in the ad. The kitchen equipment is great. Everything has really been thought of. The nearest supermarket with a sufficient selection is 10 minutes away by car in Castelnuovo di Garfagnana. This is the nearest larger town. We really have to highlight the landlords. Fabio and Elisa are incredibly helpful. When we arrived we were greeted with a welcome gift. Fabio had even gotten a fishing permit for our son in advance. Unfortunately our car broke down on arrival. Fabio not only got us a workshop appointment, he even drove us and in the days when we didn't have a car and couldn't go shopping, he repeatedly offered us help and got us bread and brought us fruit from his garden. We always vacation in holiday homes and therefore have a lot of experience - and we have never had such a caring landlord before. A very big thank you! That rounded off the vacation. Highly Recommended!!!

Nature and relax

5 stars

We are very happy with the holiday that has just ended and we thank Fabio for his kindness and constant availability and professionalism. A quiet place, almost out of time, where you wake up with the crowing of the rooster and the sound of the river. You can take walks immersed in nature, visit many suggestive places a few kilometers away, such as the Grotta del Vento, Lake Vagli and small villages. You can dive into the large swimming pool and sunbathe undisturbed from morning to evening, having lunch and dinner in the garden, in absolute relaxation! We absolutely recommend going! Date of arrival - 3 July 2021

Gladly again

5 stars

 Very nice place to stay, inside and out. Everything was there that you need. Including a small welcome gift. The owner was friendly and always available for questions. Communication via Whatsapp app quickly and easily. He even brought us fresh raspberries. The area is particularly suitable for hiking. The location of the house is a bit isolated, but this is stated in the description. You have to like that. The next supermarket is about 10 minutes away by car and you have to rely on a car or something else if you want to experience something. We definitely recommend: Pisa, Lucca and Florence as well as the Orecchiella nature park and the Verrucole archeopark. The people everywhere were always friendly and helpful.
