5 stars all the way!

We spent 8 days in this traditional house. Unfortunately, we caught the biggest heatwave in the last years - but the pool was really great with 28 degrees and the house was also cold enough (no air-conditioning). The area is beautiful, with amazing views. The owner Alessandro was a great host and we got tomatoes, potatoes, and onions from his own garden. Going out for a meal was very cheap and we did great trips through the hills, Lucca was our fav.

5 Stars!

We were pleasantly surprised. The way to the accommodation was breathtaking, only that would have been worth going there. The view from the property was also beautiful. The accomodation itself was good and we were able to split up easily but you spend most of your stay outside anyway. There are many excursion possibilities. What I missed were a few more trash cans, we only had one in the cottage on three floors. I would definitely rent this property again!!]

Fantastic holiday in Gragnanella

The house was exactly as in the photos. It was clean and nice. The pool was fantastic and was cleaned during the period we were there. Can recommend this wonderful place to others.

Fantastic time

Beautiful location on the mountain, 3 separate houses (2 modern and 1 more rustic part), beautiful views, small drawbacks always go inside for toilet and pool from 4.30 pm in the shade.But otherwise we had a great stay!

Management comment
For future guests, do note there is also a further terrace (where the hot tub is) that gets the sun later , although sometimes a bit of shade by 4:30 is welcome. Of course closer to 21st June when the sun is at its highest the sun stays later at the pool too
Great Pool and view

4 stelle

The communication with the agency was excellent, all concerns were responded to quickly and helpful. Even our wish to leave at night to avoid the return traffic jam on Saturday was not a problem! The house itself is very beautiful and the outdoor facilities with pool (the lighting is great!), Covered terrace and table tennis table are ideal for spending the whole day here. There is also a separate area with a grill and pizza oven, roofed over with a sink - a real outdoor kitchen. The location in the small town above Castelnuevo brings a great view. The access roads are narrow, but the bus also runs here, so no problem. :-) The only downer: some neighbors in the area have dogs that unfortunately bark a lot at night. And the pans are all very old and should be replaced. There are also shutters in only two bedrooms. Due to the east-south orientation of all rooms, it is very bright in the other rooms with sunrise, which is rather detrimental to sleeping in. ;-) The driveway through the middle of the small town is sometimes made to measure with larger cars, but it is feasible. Alessandro is very friendly and gave us tomatoes and wine from his own production. Unfortunately, he doesn't speak English and we hardly speak Italian - it's a shame that the conversations were always very limited. All in all a great vacation in a pretty house with a fantastic view and a great pool!

Charming rustic farmhouse in a quiet mountain location

4 stars

The property fully corresponded to our ideas of Tuscany, mountain regions and deceleration. In addition to the large and well-kept pool, a special highlight was a pizza oven with an adjacent barbecue area, both of which were gladly and intensively used. After an evening introduction by the host, we were able to successfully prove our first experiences as a pizza maker. The property is wonderfully embedded in nature with a panoramic view of the surrounding mountains. As a special note, it should be mentioned that the driveway to the house is narrow and steep.

Amazing pool with a view at the edge of the world (well, village…)

5 stars

Gragnanella is a tiny village (~85 inhabitants) in the hills. The house is just outside the village, overlooking the valley and mountains. The biggest asset is the pool and terrace overlooking all of that. From Gragnanella, you can easily go into the mountains, to the sea, to Lucca, or just enjoy the surroundings themselves. The host Alessandro is super friendly and helpful. Greatly recommended!
