Great home

We just got back from our trip to this beautiful home. First off, it was just like the pictures. The house looks really great and the amenities are perfectly suited for a (larger) family. With 4 bedrooms (with double or two single beds) and three bathrooms, there is plenty of space to go around. The kitchen is adequate and fully loaded with all the utensils you need. The pool outside was on the small side, but it was big enough for our three youngest to spend most of the time in when we were at the home. Around the house there are plenty of sitting areas. Our favorite one was the one next to the pool overlooking hills and villages, in the morning, between 9 and 10 AM, with a good cup of coffee. The peace and quiet are just amazing. That's also the only downpart. Although there are things to do in the vincinity (please go to Lago di Gramolazzo, about a 20 minute drive by car, beautiful emerald green lake to go swimming), if you want to see some sights, you need to drive a bit (just under two hours for Pisa (must see), just over one hour for Lucca (nice town square) and over two hours to go to Florence (beautiful!)). Grocery shopping is doable at a small shop about 10 minutes out (just opposite of Davy's Bar & Restaurant, great food, reasonable prices!), but it's better to go to a superstore at about half an hour drive. The prices are better and you have more choice. PS: The wifi isn't that good, be sure to have a good data plan :) All in all, we loved it!

A tranquil haven.

Wonderfully spacious and well appointed house in a beautiful village location. The village bar/store was a gem and a life saver at times for stocking up on food. Lovely well-tended garden and pool and plenty of garden furniture. A very relaxing week.

Curvy approach and then a gigantic view over the Garfagnana

We had a great week in the spacious and well-kept house. There are several seating areas in the beautiful garden with a small, clean pool and a gigantic view. Uncomplicated and friendly contact with Valentina, a new coffee machine was brought immediately. The driveway to the property is actually a bit difficult with a larger vehicle, we were glad that we came with Polo. In the village there is a small bar with a small shop, otherwise the house is in a quiet and secluded village up in the mountains. We felt very comfortable and can recommend the property.

Excellent hostess/host

Beautiful house, well maintained and beautiful location. Splendid vistas. Also very amiable neighbors. Small minus: already mentioned by previous tenants; The last piece of road (+/- 50 meters) to the house is difficult for larger cars. After unloading, it is recommended to park at the local cafe (at Maria). Definitely recommended for those looking for peace and quiet and want to spend a nice holiday with children and / or grandchildren. Owner was always ready when a problem (little) occurred.

Wonderful place

The house and the area are wonderfully nice. Nice to get to an area where there is not full of tourists. The house is located in a beautiful place with a wonderful view of the mountains. We stayed for 10 days and really enjoyed it so much that it felt sad for us to go home. We have been to many places in Italy and this is the least touristy we have visited. The house is also very nice and clean. Nice spacious bedrooms and 2 good bathrooms. Nice garden with a terrace where we ate breakfast, lunch and dinner. We would love to return to this area.

4 stars

Lovely place but not easy to locate especially at night. 4 stars
Lovely views and plenty of space inside and out. Rather out of the way and so atrial in daytime is advised.

Beautiful house in a very secluded location

4 stars

Beautiful house. Everything exactly as described. Suitable for a holiday on the spot but not suitable for city tours as the village is very remote.
