About this villa rental
Ideal for larger families or groups of friends wishing to holiday together whilst still enjoying some personal space, this property is arranged across two neighbouring houses which are let together exclusively to one group.
Situated at the edge of a tiny historic hamlet with no facilities, the accommodation can sleep up to 14 guests in total and comprises:
A traditional 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom rustic cottage
A separate renovated house divided into two self-contained modern apartments:
One 2-bedroom apartment
One 1-bedroom apartment
Each unit has its own living and kitchen facilities, allowing smaller families or couples within the group to enjoy independence, whilst still sharing outdoor areas and dining spaces.
The two houses are positioned close together and share the outdoor facilities. A very small rural path runs between the buildings, occasionally used by locals on foot, although vehicle access is extremely rare.
Guests have exclusive use of:
Private swimming pool with beautiful views
Two covered outdoor dining loggias
Hot tub
Wood-fired pizza/bread oven
BBQ and 'outdoor kitchen' areas
Table tennis
Garden and field (uneven) for children to play
Parking
WiFi
There are several outdoor dining areas, including a fully equipped kitchen beneath the cottage loggia, enabling the whole group to cook and eat together with ease.
Sleeping & Layout:
Cottage: 4 bedrooms / 2 bathrooms (sleeps 7 + 1)
Apartment 1: 2 bedrooms / 1 bathroom (sleeps 4)
Apartment 2: 1 bedroom / 1 bathroom (sleeps 2–3)
Total capacity: up to 14 guests
A little about the area:
Situated in beautiful surroundings within the Garfagnana area of Tuscany, the property is ideal for guests wishing to relax or explore the many walking routes and footpaths throughout the surrounding mountains.
The local market town of Castelnuovo di Garfagnana is just over a 5-minute drive away and offers a good selection of shops, bars, restaurants and a weekly market. The popular medieval town of Barga can be reached in approximately 20 minutes, whilst the historic walled city of Lucca is around 1 hour away. Pisa, with its famous leaning tower, is approximately 1 hour 15 minutes by car, and Florence can be visited in around 2 hours.
The famous Wind Caves are around a 40-minute drive away, as is a local adventure park offering activities such as river canyoning. Nearby lakes include Gramolazzo where you can swim, and Vagli — with its submerged village and famous zipwire.
The Fortress at Verrucole is a popular local attraction with stunning views and interactive activities for children. Also close by is the Buffardello tree climbing and zip wire park, suitable for both adults and children, where you can take a picnic and spend the day in the shade of the forest.
The real beauty of this area lies in its dramatic mountain scenery, peaceful atmosphere and the opportunity to experience a non-touristy part of Tuscany, with numerous small historic villages hosting local festas during the summer months.

Die Kommunikation mit der Agentur war hervorragend, es wurde bei allen Anliegen schnell und hilfreich reagiert. Auch unser Wunsch nach einer Abreise in der Nacht um den Rückreise-Stau am Samstag zu vermeiden, war kein Problem!
Das Haus selbst ist sehr schön und die Außenanlagen mit Pool (die Beleuchtung ist super!), überdachter Terrasse und Tischtennisplatte ideal, um den ganzen Tag hier zu verbringen. Auch einen separaten Bereich mit Grill- und Pizzaofen gibt es, überdacht mit Waschbecken - eine richtige Außenküche.
Die Lage in dem kleinen Ort oberhalb von Castelnuevo bringt eine tolle Aussicht mit sich. Die Zufahrtsstraßen sind schmal, aber der Bus fährt hier auch, also kein Problem. :-)
Einzige „Wermutstropfen“: Einige Nachbarn in der Umgebung haben Hunde, die leider sehr viel bellen in der Nacht. Und die Pfannen sind alle schon sehr in die Jahre gekommen und sollten ausgetauscht werden. Außerdem gibt es nur in zwei Schlafzimmern Fensterläden. Durch die Ost-Süd-Ausrichtung aller Zimmer ist es mit Sonnenaufgang sehr hell in den anderen Räumen, was dem Ausschlafen eher abträglich ist. ;-)
Die Zufahrt mitten durch den kleinen Ort ist mit größeren Autos durchaus manchmal Maßarbeit, aber machbar.
Alessandro ist sehr freundlich und hat uns Tomaten und Wein aus eigener Herstellung geschenkt. Leider kann er kein Englisch und wir kaum Italienisch - schade, dadurch waren die Gespräche immer sehr eingeschränkt.
Alles in allem ein toller Urlaub in einem hübschen Haus mit fantastischem Blick und genialem Pool!

Das Objekt entsprach vollumfänglich unseren Vorstellungen von Toskana, Bergregion und Entschleunigung. Neben dem großen und gepflegten Pool war als besonderes Highlight ein Pizzaofen mit angrenzender Grillstelle vorhanden, was beides gerne und intensiv genutzt wurde. Nach einer abendlichen Einführung durch den Hausherrn haben wir unsere ersten Erfahrungen als Pizzabäcker mit Erfolg unter Beweis stellen können. Das Anwesen liegt wunderbar eingebettet in die Natur mit Panoramablick auf die umliegenden Berge. Als besonderer Hinweis sei erwähnt, dass die Zufahrt bis zum Haus sehr schmal und steil ist.
