A little about the area
Villa Martini is situated in a tiny peaceful village with no facilities but there is a good selection of restaurants within a short car ride, and there are a couple within walking distance (1.5 - 2km).
For shopping, there is a minimarket which also doubles as a bar less than 2km away.
The closest train station is less than 2km away, aiding easy exploration of Lucca, the market town of Castelnuovo, Pisa and Florence (with a change at Lucca). It is also possible to take the train to the Cinque Terre which is a big bonus! The market town of Aulla is 20 mins by car and it is less than 1 hour by car to the seaside.
This villa gives a unique opportunity to explore the totally unspoilt area at the tip of Tuscany, (Lunignana) but since it is only 20 minutes from the motorway, then the usual sights are in fact easier to visit than from many properties further south.
Ideal also for cheaper flights from Genoa although the property is equidistant from Genoa and Pisa airports

Beautiful house. Everything you need is there. The place where you can eat outside is an ideal spot, it is always pleasant there even in very hot weather. We really recommended this house. Owners are very friendly. Only point to take into account is that you always have to drive a long way for groceries or excursions.

We loved this villa - it was very comfortable and well equipped and we loved the pool with its beautiful views. Fabio the owner was very friendly and made us very welcome.
The location is rather remote - there isn't really anything in Vigneta and you need to drive to the nearest shop and restaurant. However, we were very happy relaxing in the villa and round the pool so this didn't really impact on us.

I have stayed in many many places in Italy and this was one of my best experiences. The home is spacious, clean, has everything you need to make meals and relax. We toured the area everyday and came back to swim in the evening, and I made simple meals and served them at the outside table, just perfect. I also had to finish some research and write a paper while I was there and found it very comfortable to work in the evenings and wifi was excellent. The views are unbelievable. Fabio and his wife are available and very kind. The restaurant in Pieve San Lorenzo is very very good and close and inexpensive.

I stayed here for a week in June this year with 7 friends, and we had a fantastic time! The villa is everything we hoped for and more, it had everything we needed - the swimming pool is nicely located behind the villa so as to offer privacy, the views in the surrounding area are spectacular (the view from the balcony is especially lovely!), and inside the villa is kept to a very high standard as well. Specifically for our group the villa offered excellent kitchen facilities, and a lovely outdoor eating space with traditional and gas BBQs to choose from. Although there is not much in the way of shops or cafes nearby, there is a bar in the village and a shop in Casola (a nearby village) which is easy to access. There is also a lovely river between Casola and Vigneta to which we walked and spent a day out - perfect for a refreshing dip and a bit of gorge walking.The owner of the villa, Fabio, and his wife were both fantastically accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed. The countryside location of the villa offers the perfect place for relaxation, and opportunities to explore the around Tuscany also. We spent time in Pisa after staying in the villa as it was an easy train ride away, and it was great! We loved staying in Villa Martini, we would recommend this to friends and family (we already have!) and will definitely return in the future.
