About this property

Villa with own pool, mountain village with restaurant and shop. North of Lucca



Casa Laura is set in the medieval village of Sillico, 700 metres above sea level in the Garfagnana valley, north of Lucca. This spacious villa offers not only comfortable accommodation but spectacular panoramic views of the valley, Apuan Alps and Appeninne mountains.

The villa is our home for a proportion of the year and is decorated and furnished in a blend of modern and traditional styles. We want you to feel at home even when you are away.

The villa and swimming pool is for the sole use of the family or party that have booked it.

An ideal location choice for either a holiday, a workcation or a flexcation stay. Please contact us for monthly discounts. We are happy to alter the accommodation layout to accommodate any work space requirements.

The Garfagnana has an enormous amount to offer anyone who enjoys the outdoors. Whether it's cycling and mountain biking, hiking, horse riding, canyoning, spending the day amoungst the trees on a rope course or crossing the valley on a slip wire. The areas' diverse natural enviroment is well suited to a wide range of outdoor activities.

Casa Laura's accommodation is divided over two floors. On the ground floor you have a lounge and study area complete with free WIFI unlimited internet access, a kitchen with dining area, bathroom and the twin bedroom.

Seven walking paths start and finish in Sillico, enabling you enjoy, relax and emerse yourself in the natural beauty of the countryside. L'Orrido di Botri, a natural gorge and La Grotta del Vento are also worth a visit.

Absolutely wonderful location and spectacular view

Casa Laura is located at extremely beautiful place with marvellous scenery over the Pieve Fosciana town and mountains close by. House itself is great, well furnished and equipped, we simply didn't need anything extra during our visit. Definitely a place worth of money and I can warmly recommend this to the others.

Charming villa with glorious views

We had a great week in this villa. The property is well equipped, with lovely outdoor terrace and garden. Two minutes walk from the local restaurant which we highly recommend. The local walks are well signposted and definitely worth doing. Yvonne made us feel very welcome. We would highly recommend this property.

Great holiday home in Sillico

We enjoyed a very pleasant week in Yvonne’s and Delfo home. They were more than friendly and very helpful. The home was very clean, all rooms spacious with very comfortable beds. the was kitchen very well equipped and spacious. The weather was hot so we enjoyed the lovely garden, terrace and swimming pool. And the little historical town of Sillico was well worth visiting.

Holiday

We stayed ten nights at Casa Laura and had a lovely time. The weather was mixed but that didn’t matter. Beautiful walks signposted from the village were great for exploring the amazing Chestnut Woods. The views and sunsets were stunning. A great peaceful house in a beautiful village, high in the mountains. Yvonne was nearby if you needed anything. .

A perfect spot for a relaxing vacation

The six of us had a wonderful stay in this beautiful place perched on a Tuscany hilltop. The house is well equipped, clean and comfortable, and the nearby village restaurant/bar/grocery shop is very convenient and friendly. We enjoyed relaxing on the terrace, hiking nearby, and doing occasional day trips to Pisa and Lucca. The kids loved the pool, and we tried out making pizzas in the outside oven. Yvonne was a wonderful host - she helped out when our arrival plans became unexpectedly complicated, was available to answer questions and give recommendations, and made us feel very welcome.

Gorgeous holidays in Sillico

Our big family with 4 kids aged between 9 and 18 really enjoyed the stay in Sillico at this nicely maintained and furnished house. Despite the hottest week of the year the thick walls kept the heat out of the house. The sheltered terrace with the pool near by was our most preferred place to be after beautiful walks and hikes in the mountains.any nice walks and hikes start next to the house. The pizza oven worked very well and was easy to operate. The magnificent view across the valley is deeply impressive which one can also be admired from the pool. All in all it was a terrific time.

Summer holiday paradise

We really loved the house, swim pool and area. A lot of hikes possible from te house. Visits to Lucca, Pisa, Florence etc all duable although keep in account you first need to descend the mountain which will take you around 15-20 minutes. A lot of animals in the area too, so if you drive back in late evening you might spot boars, deers, foxes and we even saw some cows. The owner is very friendly, kind and helpful in all ways. We loved to bake our own pizzas in the pizza oven. We were lucky we could enjoy the yearly medical festival of the village Sillico, which is a lovely village and they have a nice restaurant which is also selling bread, cheese, meet (almost every day). Supermarktes in the village downhill, one coop a bit expensive, the other next to each much cheaper and has good quality too.

Individual holiday at high level

Overall, the accommodation is very well equipped. For example, the kitchen equipment leaves nothing to be desired, even for ambitious cooking activities (e.g. the large 5-burner gas stove). This is not a house "just made up for a few summer guests" but a fully furnished permanent residence. The friendly landlady takes care of her guests in advance and is always easily accessible during the stay (if neccessary). The location of the house offers a fantastic view to the sun set behind the distant mountains. The small village of Sillico is very picturesque, quiet and in no way overcrowded with tourists. Ideal for a quiet individual holiday at a high level (of altitude as well as of residence standard).

Wonderfull stay at Casa Laura.

Our family of 5(Wife, daughter, son in law and grandson) have just spent a wonderful, relaxing 10 days in this terrific house. The house is located at the top of a mountain, beside a medieval village (Silico) and it has the most amazing views out onto the Tuscan alps. Sunset with a whisky just beating early morning. It is well maintained, clean and Yvonne was on hand to welcome us, ensure we settled in comfortably and provide lots of information on things to do. We used the house as our base, while we visited Pisa, Barga and many local villages. We also visited Levanto on the Cinque Terre(Amazing, as reccomended by Yvonne)On other days, we relaxed by the pool and took walks around the village, our favourite being no 3. We really enjoyed the pool and used it daily, to cool down from the heat. We would recommend this house for families and people who are looking to have a relaxing stay in beautiful location. We were lucky enough to experience the Dinner provided by the locals in the village piazza. Thanks Yvonne and Delfo for taking care of us.

Nach einer Sightseeing-Woche haben wir uns ganz bewusst für dieses tolle Ferienhaus abgeschieden in den Bergen entschieden. Mit dem phantastischen und sauberen Pool und dem sehr gepflegten Garten ist dies der ideale Ort zum Entspannen. Die Kommunikation mit Yvonne war vor der Anreise und während des Aufenthaltes perfekt. Sie hat uns tolle Tipps gegeben und war jederziet ansprechbar. Das Haus mit den beiden Bädern war sauber und ordentlich, sodass wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt haben. Ein paar Meter nebenan ist ein Restaurant mit einem Laden, in dem man auch alles für den täglichen Bedarf bekommt, ohne gleich in den Ort runter fahren zu müssen. Vielen Dank für den schönen Aufenthalt, Yvonne!

Schönes Haus mit tollem Garten und sehr netter Gastgeberin

Wir haben unsere Woche in Sillico sehr genossen. Yvonne war als Gastgeberin sehr zuvorkommend, hilfsbereit und dabei ganz unaufdringlich. Zum Haus selber: Die Außenanlage ist traumhaft. Innen ist es bodenständig eingerichtet mit viel Platz und allem was man für den Alltag braucht. Wenn man einen Verbesserungsvorschlag finden will, dann maximal, dass das Küchenequipment etwas zusammengewürfelt / genutzt ist. Ansonsten fällt uns hier wirklich nichts Negatives ein. Wir und unser Hund haben hier rundum wohl gefühlt. Die Lage ist super zum Wandern und das einzige Restaurant direkt nebenan können wir auch empfehlen, wenn man gut, bodenständig Essen will. Alles in allem würden wir das Ferienhaus definitiv weiterempfehlen.

unser schönster aufenthalt in italien - il nostro più bel soggiorno in italia

Wir (3 Erwachsene, 1 Kind, 1 kleiner Hund) haben Ende Juli/Anfang August drei wundervolle Wochen in Sillico verbracht. Den bisherigen Beschreibungen können wir zu 100% zustimmen. Das Haus ist sehr schön, vollständig eingerichtet (Spülmaschine!), die Schlafzimmer im OG haben einen traumhaften Blick über das Tal. Die Zufahrt nach Sillico auf 700m von Pieve (350m) dauert ca. 15 Minuten und ist auch mit großem Auto unproblematisch. Parkmöglichkeiten auf dem Grundstück sind vorhanden. Die Vermieterin wohnt ca. 5 Minuten entfernt und hilft wenn man Hilfe benötigt. Frische Handtücher und Laken werden wöchentlich gebracht. Trotz Hochsommer und Hitze in halb Europa war das Klima absolut angenehm. 25-30 Grad sind normal; die Nächte sind erholsam kühl. Eine Klimatisierung ist nicht erforderlich. Wanderwege im schattigen Wald beginnen direkt hinter dem Haus. Florenz (ca. 2h), das Meer (ca. 1,5h) und Lucca (1h) sind gut erreichbar. Es war unser erholsamster Urlaub. Wir haben uns super wohl gefühlt und buchen wieder. Danke

Vielseitiges Haus mit phantastischer Aussicht

Haus zum Wohlfühlen an außerordentlichem Ort in Sillico. Vom privatem Pool aus bietet sich eine beeindruckende Panoramasicht über die Garfagnana. Die Bewirtung im nur wenige Meter entferntem Restaurant ist überaus freundlich, das Essen dort rustikal einfach und lecker. Kochen im Haus ist auch kein Problem. Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet. Uns hat nichts gefehlt. Der zum Haus gehörende Pizzaofen sollte unbedingt ausprobiert werden, auch wenn das Anheizen einige Zeit dauert. Das Ergebnis lohnt sich. Die Gastgeber sind äußerst freundlich und sehr auf das Wohl ihrer Mieter bedacht, wobei sie in keiner Weise aufdringlich sind. Die in anderen Bewertungen hochgelobte Ruhe wurde allerdings einige Male durch lautstarken Betrieb von motorbetriebenen Gartengeräten der Nachbarn gestört. Wir empfehlen in jedem Fall an der rassegna storica, dem mittelalterlichen Gastronomischen Festival in Sillico teilzunehmen. Die Stimmung in den mit Fackeln erleuchteten Gassen des Dorfes ist einzigartig.

Heel fraai verblijf

We waren hier met 2 volwassen kinderen. De locatie en omgeving zijn erg mooi. Het huis ligt tegen de rand van Sillico, en dat betekent wel 400 meter fors stijgen vanaf Pieve Fosciana. De omgeving is prachtig, zowel voor fietsers als wandelaars. Het bezoeken van plaatsjes zoals Sillico zelf (met een leuk restaurant) en Barga is de moeite waard. Grotere steden zoals Lucca, Pisa en Florence zijn allemaal op 1-2 uur rijden. Het huis is fantastisch: sfeervol, grote keuken, goede bedden, enz. Het buitenterras met lounge, tafel en zwembad maken het compleet. Een echte aanrader dus. De eigenaren waren uiterst vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Bij het minste of geringste kun je ze bereiken en ze reageren snel en vriendelijk. Al met al hebben we hier een van onze beste Italie vakanties beleefd.

Totale Erholung in den Bergen der Toskana

Sillico ist ein schönes, beschauliches Bergdorf inmitten eines Wandergebietes. Die touristischen Höhepunkte PISA, Carrara, Florenz etc. sind sowohl mit dem Auto als auch mit dem Zug gut und einfach erreichbar. Das Haus ist überraschend geräumig und sehr gut ausgestattet. Viel Vergnügen bereitete insbesondere den Kindern tagsüber das Planschen im Pool und am Abend das Backen der Pizza im Holzofen. Das Haus liegt zwar direkt an einer Straße, die aber sehr wenig befahren ist und daher überhaupt nicht stört. Die Vermieterin ist überaus freundlich und zuvorkommend und von Geburt Engländerin, was die Konversion vereinfacht. Wir kamen so gut erholt und begeistert, wie schon lange nicht mehr nach dem Urlaub in Sillico nach Hause.

About the host

Hosted by Yvonne Melli

Host profile image
We are Yvonne and Delfo Melli, your hosts. We came to the Garfagnana on holiday, fell in love with the area and were subsequently in a position to return and buy Casa Laura. We bought it as our holiday home but once Delfo retired we decided to leave the UK and make the permanent move to Italy. Fortunately, a decision that we haven’t regretted. Casa Laura is our home during the winter months and during the summer we live a few kilometres away in a small hamlet above Sillico. We have a passion for growing our own vegetables and a love of cooking, open spaces, walking, nature and history. All of which is possible and on the doorstep in this beautiful part of Italy.

Why they chose this property

We bought Casa Laura because firstly we fell in love with the spectacular views and secondly because of Sillico and it’s ideal geographical location. The village is small but full of character and history. It still has, unlike many of the villages in this area a thriving community which welcomed us from day one. It has a popular restaurant, bar and small shop. A short drive down from this idyllic mountain retreat and you are in Pieve Fosciana or Castelnuovo di Garfagnana, the capital of the Garfagnana where there are numerous supermarkets, restaurant, bars and local shops.

What makes this property unique

Because for half of the year Casa Laura is our home perhaps it’s not surprising that many of our guests comment upon how much the house feels like ” a home from home” during their stay. Popular tourist destinations such as Lucca, Pisa and Florence are all easily accessible whilst Casa Laura set within beautiful countryside has the perfect outside dining, swimming pool and garden to relax in.
Because we live here all year round we have an in-depth knowledge of the area and it’s amenities and we are on hand as much as required to answer any queries and assist in whatever way we can to ensure our guests have an enjoyable and memorable stay.
