Thank you for your very fair review I am glad you enjoyed your stay you are welcome back any time .
This summer we had a truly wonderful stay in Philip and Anne’s beautiful old house. The house is located in a very quiet little village in the mountains of Tuscany, just a 10-minute drive from Fivizzano. The old bakery (a short walk to the next village) is an amazing experience, with delicious bread baked in a wood-fired oven. In the mornings you can enjoy a peaceful breakfast in the shade at the back of the house, while in the evenings the front is beautiful with the setting sun. Our children loved the swimming pool and it was hard to get them to leave for an activity (there’s plenty to do in the area). Do bring earplugs though, as the old church tower is nearby and rings throughout the night! We had a fantastic time and would love to come back again.

Thank you very much for your review It reflex exactly how we feel the house and what we hoped to achieve when we bought it over 20 years ago .The village is quieter now except for those bell's as you say ! but that was a compromise that we were willing to take for the beautiful spot . We would also love for you to return in the future if you wish
Many Thanks

We cannot say enough great things about this villa in the mountains. If you need complete rest and adventure mixed into one then you must stay here. The facilities are excellent, you could cook up a 10 course banquet in the kitchen. The BBQ was also an amazing addition. Communication with the hosts was great and felt that we had everything we needed. The stunning swimming pool was such a great perk for us as a family. Equally the wild boar neighbour was an exciting addition. Do not be alarmed as he (or she) keeps herself distant. You must visit the local ski resort for mountain trails or just to explore the ski lift and get to the (near) top for the views.
We were a family of five with our lovely sister in tow. We did trips to Lucca , La Spezia , a local vineyard and also many nearby mountain villages. We were going to do Pisa but decided we would stay and chill at the villa instead. It was that peaceful.
Belle propriété dans un tout petit village à flan de montagne. Pour les amoureux de la nature et pour oublier télévision et bruits de fond. Très bien placée pour randonneurs.
Sehr schönes Ferienhaus in ruhiger Lage mit einem schönen großen Pool.
Gute Zimmeraufteilung mit genügend Platz.
In der Unterkunft gibt es alles, was man so braucht, uns hat es an nichts gefehlt.
Tagsüber gibt es viele Vögel zu hören und Abends kommen einen Wildschweine und Fledermäuse besuchen.
Vor Ort gibt es viele Spielsachen für kleinere Kinder, meine Mädels waren total begeistert.
Leider gibt es in der Nähe nicht so viele Restaurants zumindest hatten einige schon geschlossen (Anfang September)
Danke für den schönen Urlaub :)

Many thanks for your review I am glad you enjoyed your stay . I think you are right about the restaurants because it is getting later in the season, but we felt earlier on in August that the area is getting move facilities which can only be a good thing for all .

I am really pleased that you enjoyed your stay. As you can imagine it has been a difficult year and I have not been to the house before you as I normally would, but I will pass on your thanks to Rita and Eraldo
who opened the house and made everything ready for you .
Thank You

My wife and I have always had a love of Italy and were lucky enough to realise our dream in 2003 when we purchased our dream Italian home. Which over the next 5 years we restored to a beautiful Tuscan home. I am now retired and i spend as much time as i can in Tuscany.
Why they chose this property
We have always loved Tuscany for so many reasons the food, the people and the views are second to none. we wanted a property that had some classic Italian charm in a rural location which had easy access from major airports. Our house ticked all the boxes.
What makes this property unique
The peaceful location of our house ensure a stress free place to unwind and sample fantastic local food and hospitality.
