Fantastic seascape
The villa was very clean and comfortable. The surrounding area is wild and gorgeous. I highly recommend Massimo's wine tours - he is very knowledgeable but not pretentious at all. All in all, one of the most welcoming destinations I have had the pleasure to experience as a traveler.
Consiglio vivamente per chi vuole divertirsi, rilassarsi e stare in compagnia.

Sehr angenehmes Haus. Der Hit war natürlich der Pool, vor allem für die Kinder. Mario hat uns auch gute Tipps für Unternehmungen und Restaurants gegeben. Alles in allem ein gelungener Familienurlaub.

Cheerful, communicative, respectful, a pleasure to host, highly recommended.
Hohe Erwartungen von den Bildern wurden noch übertroffen, alles ist in echt noch großzügiger als auf den Bildern. Der große Speiße- und Wohn-raum bot auch für unsere 10er Gruppe mehr als genug Platz und der Pool war auch im September noch sehr gut nutzbar. Alle bestens.

Perfect 5 star ***** guest! I’m happy to have hosted you and would welcome again in the future. Thank you very much indeed!
Wir haben zusammen mit Freunden (4 Erwachsene, 4 Kinder) eine tolle Woche hier verbracht. Der Pool ist super und hat jeden Tag für viel Spaß bei groß und klein gesorgt.
Die Villa liegt am Hang und Abends haben wir auf der großen Terrasse den Blick bis aufs Meer (15 min mit dem Auto) genossen. Das Haus war für uns 8 schön groß und mit den vielen Schlafzimmern und 3 Bädern ideal für uns. Für die Einfahrt braucht man allerdings ein Auto mit viel Bodenfreiheit.
Unser Gastgeber Mario war sehr nett und zuvorkommend und hat ums mit vielen Tipps für Restaurants und Ausflügen versorgt.
Wir kommen gerne wieder :-)
Großzügiges Haus mit 3 Bädern, teilweise etwas kleine Schlafzimmer, für Kinder okay - Erwachsene sicherlich grenzwertig.
Ausstattung/Einrichtung mehr als ausreichend, Pool sauber und gross. Villa liegt oberhalb und hat Meerblick, dafür aber vor allem Nachts etwas laut. Sehr netter Vernieter der zu jederzeit erreichbar war. Wir waren mit 10 Personen + 1 Kleinkind da.
Super maison, vue magnifique le soir des terrasses, le propriétaire est très sympathique, dommage que mon mauvais anglais et la barrière de la langes est présente sinon parfait ! à 10 minutes de la gare de Sarzana pour prendre les trains italiens qui sont pas cher, climatisé et à l'heure !!!
Wunderschönes Haus mit eigenem Pool, perfekt für Familienurlaube. Schöne Gegend. Viel Hundegebell tagsüber.

Very respectful and tidy. They get my 100% recommendation.
NOTE: Das europäische Land mit den meisten Heimtieren ist Deutschland (37,5 Millionen), gefolgt von Frankreich (32,8) und Italien (32,1).
Well situated villa with lots of things do see and do in the very nice area. The house had a well functioning and well equipped kitchen, suitable for cooking for our large family. Since it was quite warm and we are a large family, an extra refrigerator would have been great. The pool and area around it was very nice and the view of the sea was great.
Le propriétaire de la villa est au petit soin. La situation géographique reste relativement loin de la mer et des attractivités touristiques (Pise,5 terres etc). La maison est spacieuse ce qui a nécessité 24heures pour obtenir une température agréable.

However, for your knowledge the villa is only 6 km from the seashore:)
Belle et grande villa avec vue magnifique sur la mer, très bien équipée. Une grande piscine fait le bonheur des enfants comme de leurs parents. Le propriétaire est très sympathique et accueillant. Nous avons passé un excellent séjour entre amis dans cette superbe région.

BERNARD was a great guest! I’d be glad to host him again anytime. He took great care of my place, left it clean and tidy, and was a pleasure to speak with. Highly recommended!
Es hat alles Reibungslos geklappt, der Eigentümer hat uns sehr nett empfangen, das Haus ist wunderschön und einigermaßen Sauber (Alters entsprechend). Die Lage ist Wunderschön aber nicht so Ruhig.
Es gibt keine Klimaanlage daher muss man Nachts die Fenster Ofen lassen und da die Nachbarhunde ununterbrochen bellen kommt man nicht so zur Ruhe.
Einfahrt der Villa ist nur für Geländewagen leicht durchgängig, hat man in der Beschreibung nicht angedeutet.
Die Ausblick ist wirklich Traumhaft und die Menschen sehr nett, die Küche und das Haus ist volleingerichtet wobei wieder altersbedingt einsatzfähig.
Im großen und ganzen ist das Haus zu empfehlen.

they are such warm people. I don't understand why you write that you need an off road car. The road is paved! Perhaps you you took a different path?

Séjour Fin juillet - début Août 2019
Belle villa proche de différents sites touristiques (un peu trop touristiques). Cette villa est spacieuse, bien décorée et la piscine est géniale.
Néanmoins, il y a deux gros points noirs avec cette habitation :
- il y a beaucoup de bruits aux alentours (klaxons de voiture, aboiements de chiens, ambulance, ...).
- si vous ne possédez pas un SUV, il n'est pas possible de se garer dans l'allée de la maison.

Splendid stay with fantastic view
The villa itself was pretty, very well equipped and comfortable - with plenty of room for a family with 3 teenage/adult children who needed their space! The outdoor area is gorgeous, and again very spacious, with a wonderfully clean pool which was perfect for relaxing and cooling down. From the poolside and the house itself there are exceptional views across the sea and the Magra's valley, which were breathtaking both day and night, with beautiful sunsets.
We hope to return!

FABULOUS !
Perfect location for holidays with kids or (and) friends!!
We spent 14 days at Mario's villa and we would like to extend additional 14 days due to the great time we had!
The accommodation has everything what you need and is in a realy good shape. Mario is a great host! Every time available, but not intrusive.
The recommendations of him were all perfect.
The best days we had, were the dinners on terrace with sea view and spectacular sunsets!

Heerlijk huis in een fantastische omgeving!
Wij, twee gezinnen met in totaal vijf jonge kinderen (leeftijd variërend van 9 tot 14 jaar oud), hebben een heerlijke vakantie gehad in deze woning en in deze omgeving! We vonden het jammer om te moeten vertrekken.
De woning is nog luxer ingericht en beter afgewerkt dan wij hadden verwacht.
De woning heeft een ruim deels overdekt terras met een geweldig uitzicht waar je heerlijk kunt eten met z’n allen! En voor wie van koken houdt, die kan zich volledig uitleven in de zeer goed uitgeruste keuken en met de grote 'Weber' barbecue die op het terras staat.
Verder is het zwembad écht super!:
Lekker groot met zout water (geen chloor), goed zichtbaar vanaf het overdekte terras (fijn voor toezicht op spelende kinderen) en goed uitgerust met hele fijne ligbedden.
Ook is er naast het zwembad wat schaduwrijk gras waarop je heerlijk kunt liggen.
De slaapkamers en bedden zijn prima en de indeling van de woning sloot goed aan bij onze gezinnen.
We hebben twee weken lang heel mooi weer gehad en fijn was dat het dan ’s avonds afkoelde. Ook is er 's middags regelmatig een fijn briesje op het terras.
Wat het verblijf in deze woning zeer speciaal maakte, was de gastvrije & zeer servicegerichte houding van eigenaar Mario. Hij wist ons telkens op een hele positieve manier te verrassen! Verder was het fijn dat hij erg goed Engels sprak.
Kortom, een échte aanrader deze woning en omgeving!

Great location - nice house - stunning pool
Perfect setting for our "three-generations-plus-dog" vacation. Incredible view of the Magra valley and the sea, great saltwater pool, terrace and garden, nice and well equipped house, perfect hot weather with an always refreshing breeze on the terrace and an extremely nice owner and host. Thanks, Mario, for your warm reception with a nicely refreshing bottle of wine and your restaurant recommendations. We tried them all! A great place to spend a relaxing time, visit the area with short trips to Pisa, Lucca, La Spezia, Sarzana, the beaches, the Cinque Terre,... We enjoyed it very much!
