A little about the area:Please note that automated distance information can be misleading in rural areas. Although some places may appear close “as the crow flies,” walking routes are often impractical.
From Casa Capannina you can take a safe walk to the local village of Camporgiano and enjoy a morning coffee, lunch or dinner, pizza etc and when you have the car there is a supermarket there too.
Just across the valley is the stunningly located fortress of Verrucole, which you can see from the garden in the distance, and also the zip wire park which is great fun for both children and adults, and ideal for a day in the welcome shade! You can also picnic and BBQ here if you want to make a day of it.
The local attractive market town of Castelnuovo, famous for its Thursday morning markets, and with all facilities is just a 15 minute drive. This town has bars, restaurants, gelaterias, and a river...In high season the town really comes alive, and often hosts outdoor evening entertainment.
The beautiful mediaeval town of Barga with its cobbled streets, renowned restaurants, Cathedral and stunning views is a 40 minute drive, and often there is free live music here.
Lucca, with its fully intact walls can't be missed for a day out and cycling around the walls is a firm favourite with day trippers and locals alike. Here, spend the day meandering in the shady streets, sitting in the open piazzas, dining al fresco, climbing towers, visiting the Opera (this is the birthplace of Puccini) or just shopping!
The Grotta del Vento, the famous Wind Caves is also a family favourite...
There is lots to do if you wish, but the real beauty of the area is the countryside and the scattering of small villages wherever you go....Just relax!

wonderful house with big pool and logia with a great view
it was a wonderful stay. the house is well kept, the pool big and cleaned every day, big garden perfect for playing. very silent and the view into the mountains is magnificient. Perfect stay for people who love hiking and nature. Loretta and Renzo are perfect hosts. But you need your time to come to historic sites and cities.

Beautiful setting with amazing views. A very peaceful week with visits from wild boar, deer, foxes and a couple of cats. The house is well equipped especially the kitchen. The covered outdoor room on the first floor was a great place to shelter from the hot sun or the thunderstorms (which were great to watch rolling in over the mountains). Lots of places to visit nearby (by car) but we mainly spent the time reading and cooling off in the lovely pool. Definitely recommend the house and local area.

Villa Loretta is a fabulous, spacious rustic property with a large, very clean pool and well maintained gardens. Renzo and Loretta were so warm and friendly. We felt part of the family and locality. The elevated eating area with stunning views across the valley was a particular feature. I agree with other reviews, the photos are unable to to capture the beauty and peace of this lush valley. We would definitely visit again!

Beautiful setting, great gardens and pool. The house is spacious and airy with lots of different areas to sit, eat and explore. The villa isn't really walking distance to the village and the unmade road can be difficult to drive especially after heavy rain. There needs to be some modifications to the house, it's all very traditional and brown and the gas hob takes forever to heat up (boiling a kettle is a 20 minute job). The beds are pretty uncomfortable but apart from that it was a lovely villa for us to stay in and the owners are lovely and speak a little English.

Thank you for your review. We are happy to hear you loved the setting and views and those wonderful gardens.
It is a 20 min walk down into Camporgiano - not the same road you drive through. I am sorry you missed this as many guests re book this house purely because you can walk in . It is via a country path. I feel your pain with the kettle!!! Unfortunately all Italian houses are like this - they don't use electric kettles because they only have 3KW permitted to each residential property and using the kettle would use half the power available to the entire house. I do remember watching kettles for ages!
Re the beds, the owners confirm mattresses are regularly replaced on a cycle so some will have been very new and none at all old and we have recently inspected. I think it depends on taste, since guests that stayed prior to you mentioned that they had the best sleeps ever of a holiday home at the house...
I do agree the house is old fashioned in taste, and quite particular too, but I am sure you will agree it is pristine, well maintained and well equipped.
We are glad you enjoyed your stay overall.
Best wishes, Lorraine at tuscan-retreats

Beautiful peaceful setting
The house had everything and more than we needed, the owners Renzo and Loretta we’re truely fantastic hosts, not intrusive but there if needed, helped with things we needed, cleaned the pool daily before we needed it, brought us a bottle of home made prosecco for when we had friends over. They were amazing. If I could take them with us on every holiday they would all be great! The property is private which was great for us with 3 noisy children, the local towns had enough places to eat and buy food and drink in. A lovely holiday. We drove and the Italians are a bit scary on the road!!! But loved this holiday

Our stay at Camporgiano was wonderful, and the property comes exactly as advertised, a gem in an exquisite section of Tuscany. The directions in were helpful, but we still needed some assistance from a local to get to the property. A sign at the "wheelie bins" and again up the road at the fork in the road by the older empty house would have been helpful,but we found our way there. The villa is spacious, well-equipped and Lorenzio was wonderful in welcoming us and answering any questions we had. The pool was a bonus, as the weather was unseasonably hot for the middle of September. The location is a bit remote, although we grew to love that about it. The quiet and relaxing atmosphere was a time of great enjoyment. Exploring the surrounding towns and down to Lucca was a treat, although driving in Italy takes some adjusting! We can recommend the property highly, and hope someday to return.

The photos of this villa do not capture the true beauty of the location, the villa and its surrounding grounds. It is so quiet and peaceful and surpassed our expectations. The villa is well equipped and the kitchen has everything you require. The outside furniture on the terrace and around the pool is of a high standard. The swimming pool is the largest I have seen in a villa rental and well maintained by Renzo on a daily basis normally before the family were up. The interior fixtures and fitting our adequate but some may find the bedroom/bathroom layout unusual. I would strongly recommend you check this villa meets your requirements before booking but for myself and my family it was outstanding and provided everything we could have wished for. Lorretta and Renzo really made us welcome and were nearby to help if required. I would return to this Villa if intending re-visiting the area.

Wonderful home with amazing views and very nice owners!!!
This home is really beautiful with outstanding views, a fabulous pool, and fantastic grounds! The setting is very peaceful, private and quiet. However, it is only a five minute drive to a grocery store and some very good restaurants. The kitchen is very well equipped, but when you get tired of cooking Davy’s restaurant has great pizza and there is a nice restaurant with a great chef just down the road at the Agritourismo Mulin del Rancone.
The owners were very nice and even shared some of their home made Prosecco with us! Renzo cleaned the pool every morning and the yard was always impeccable!
We also found Lorraine and her staff at Tuscan Retreats to be very responsive and easy to work with. They even sent an email just ahead of our stay informing us of an abrupt weather change, so that we could pack accordingly.
We spent two weeks at the house and made a day trip to Lucca and spent a few days in Florence. We also visited the Fortress at Verrucolle just across The Valley which you can see from the house. The Osteria in the village there has delicious food!
We highly recommend this house and plan to visit again as soon as we can!!!

Idyllic, peaceful and relaxing
We stayed here for our first family holiday, 6 adults and a baby, house is great size, well equipped and stayed cool indoors even in the heat! We loved the pizza oven, BBQ and terrace area and spent a lot of time in this area for meals.
Location is very remote, there is nothing local to walk to so if you like complete isolation it’s great, if you want to walk to a bar or for an ice cream, it’s not for you!
We discovered fire flies in the woodland area one evening that was magical, a bug light show every evening from 10 -11.30pm! Pool area is lovely but the water was freezing! Renzo was on hand everyday if you needed him, but equally left us alone as he watered the gardens/maintained the pool early each morning. Views from the property were stunning, we ventured further north to a lake which was beautiful and by train into Lucca, again beautiful city.
Handy hint: get some clear directions before you travel, we spent almost an hour trying to find a villa that the locals said didn’t exist, fortunately one of our party spoke Italian and we found it down a dirt track!!!

Thank you for your review. We are glad you had a good time and enjoyed this beautiful location, the outdoor kitchen facilities, and the fireflies!
The pool is usually a welcome relief from the heat in June and is normally a good temperature. Unfortunately we had a really bad and unusual weather spell in May /Early June this year with lots of storms and the water has been late in heating up! Those swimming in April had much better luck....
I am sorry that you didn't have directions - we did e mail detailed directions, contact details for us and the owners, where to stop off at supermarket and property co-ordinates etc along with a full local information pack (with lots of things to do, as it is not always obvious what is around !) on the 16th April. It sounds like you didn't get this. I am surprised you managed to find the house at all, without any of this standard information and am pleased that you did manage to do so!
Best wishes Lorraine at tuscan-retreats.
We enjoyed a wonderful two weeks with our two adult children at Villa Loretta. The setting is spectacular and Renzo and Loretta were lovely hosts, very discreet but friendly and helpful. Renzo keeps the beautiful pool and gardens immaculate with a daily early visit. There was a generous supply of towels and everything was homely, very clean and tidy. There were plenty of sun loungers with cushions and parasols and loads of shady spots around the garden and under the pergola. We made use of the various outside areas and the pizza oven but the elevated eating area was out favourite with light breezes and stunning views.
We made regular trips into the welcoming village, a short but steep walk. It was very safe, our adult children would head into the village for morning coffee or in the evening to the pizzeria or sports bar. Prices in the village were exceptional compared to the tourist spots.
We were able to visit Pisa, Lucca and Florence. A car is essential as the setting is rural but the views from the villa are breathtaking. We spent evenings watching fireflies in the garden, watching spectacular electric storms, enjoying eagles soaring and listening to cuckoos in the wood.
All the family returned home rested and we would all love to use this wonderful property again.

Wir hatten einen traumhaften Urlaub mit allem was wir brauchten. Die Hausbesitzer sind unglaublich nett und haben uns bei allem geholfen -beim Arzt übersetzt und uns Dinge gebracht-es war wirklich herrlich.
Das Anwesen ist ein Traum in der Abgelegenheit-hier ist man ganz ungestört und kann sich richtig erholen. Wir haben es sehr genossen-wer allerdings einen Ausgabgspunkt für viele Ausflüge und Unternehmungen sucht ist hier immer auf ein Auto angewiesen.
Für uns der perfekte urlaub

Wir hatten einen traumhaften Urlaub. Das Objekt bot alles, was wir uns erhofft hatten: Ruhe, einen herrlichen Blick in die Umgebung, wunderbare Zimmer und Bäder sowie einen tollen Pool. Am Abend gab es selbstgemachte Pizza im Pizzaofen. Die Gastgeber waren immer über Telefon oder Whatsapp zu erreichen und haben uns Wein und Prosecco aus dem eigenen Weinberg vorbeigebracht. Die Urlaubswoche war viel zu kurz.

Everything about this house is fantastic! If you want a very private and absolutely amazing place to stay for a week or two, this is where you should go.
The booking procedure, checking in, and staying as well as leaving, is simple and the contact at Tuscan retreats and the owners are easy to reach and quick to answer. Renzo and his son-in-law came over to help out directly on our first morning in the house when a thunder storm (beautiful to look at over the mountains!) killed the power and we texted them. The owners, Loretta and Renzo, are sweet and helpful but never intrusive. Perfect hosts! The house is extremely well equipped and you get a rustique, homey feeling there. There is so much love put into the garden, which is so well cared for and absolutely beautiful! The pool was 27-28 degrees and even though the weather was a bit shifting during our stay we enjoyed both the garden and the pool a great deal.
Do try the pizza oven! A bit tricky (don’t make the pizzas too big and use lots of flour, so they can slide into the oven!) but so much fun once you get the hang of if. And the pizzas taste amazing!
You can take nice walks in the area around the house, and Camporgiano with shops (they are super nice at the grocery store Punto/Simply, but do not speak English) and restaurants is only a 5- minute drive away. But do also visit Castelnuovo a 15-minute drive away, which is bigger and more lively.
We found the recommended restaurant Il Pozzo (near Castelnuevo) overrated, but Mulin del Rancone in Camporgiano is very nice, and so is Davy’s cafe. Our nicest meal, however, was at Pizzeria Il Corte in Pietrasanta close to the coast. And the drive back to the house from there over the mountains is breathtaking!!! Over all, driving the roads in the mountains around the area is a lot of fun, but be very careful!
All in all, we had an absolutely incredible week! Wish we didn’t have to leave and hope to return some day!

Secluded, beautiful views, lovely and clean
We have stayed in many villas over the years and this is one of the best. The house is immaculately clean and has everything you need. The owner comes each morning to clean out the pool, water the garden etc but he comes early and does not disturb. We were there 2 weeks and there was a clean and change of towels after the first week, which was a lovely surprise. The house is on a hillside overlooking a valley and mountains opposite. It is totally peaceful and the views are amazing. The pool is very big and the gardens have plenty of shade if necessary. It takes 10 mins to walk down a very steep hill through the woods to the town, where you can find all the groceries and restaurants that you need - very steep walk back up! Nearby there are walks, lakes, mountains, rivers. We could not have asked for more and we would love to visit again. The owners are wonderful and helpful. The pizza oven is amazing - ask the owner how to use it! If you want peace and quiet in beautiful surroundings then come here.
