About this house rental
Four storey late 19th century village stone house with own swimming pool over, c.400 sq.m, five double bedrooms, two bathrooms 3 x /wc. Fully restored with white-washed walls, original terracotta floors and exposed chestnut beams. Large courtyards and full width new decking to lounge around the pool with incredible views. Lots of space for outdoor eating and chilling. Straight out the top gate for hillside paths leading to ancient villages. Ideal for mountain biking and hiking, or just a leisurely stroll. Well stocked Village shop just five minutes up the path.
Thick stone walls mean it’s cool in the height of summer. The village is a typical Italian hillside community, mostly quiet, but passing goatherds, farming as well as the usual hubbub of Italian village life. It’s also a very safe and welcoming environment and our guests don’t feel they have to be too precious, (especially good if you have younger kids). After nightfall the village is totally silent, devoid of light pollution so ideal for star-gazing and chasing fire-flies.
Area has loads of things to do: canoeing; white-water rafting; horse-riding; the Beach; zip-wires; factory-outlet shopping; wine-tours and tastings; beautiful historic towns like Lucca, Barga, Pisa, Florence, Montecarlo, Forti di Marmi, etc.

We had a wonderful holiday in Peter and Suzy's wonderful, authentic village house. It was very clear that it was a private home that we were visiting. Thank you 1000 for sharing this paradise with us. There were 10 of us and there was plenty of room for all of us in the house and on the house's terraces. Huge kitchen with all imaginable equipment. Lots of towels and bed linen and fine parasols on the terraces. The house is a real old village house and the construction is beautiful to admire. The ceilings are amazing! Peter was quick to answer questions and help. There had been a large storm in the area shortly before our arrival, leaving the entire town without internet. However, it came occasionally during the 14 days we stayed in the house. In fact, we all enjoyed being free from screens and there was plenty to experience. The evenings were spent playing guitar on the terrace, playing cards and playing in the pool. There are lots of fantastic walking routes between the villages and a lovely little grocery store 300 meters up the path behind the pool area. The place is not for the disabled or people who do not enjoy peace, quiet and an authentic, beautiful Tuscan mountain village. It's the true kind of luxury vacation that you won't want to leave. We will definitely be back!

We had an amazing time in Peter's place mostly enjoying the outdoor spaces and doing short walks to the grocery store nearby. The location is great for day trips to Pisa, Lucca and Viareggio. Only things we'd change are the cleanliness which was mostly okay, but the place could use a deep clean, and 2-3 mattresses should be replaced for better comfort.

From the initial contact through to the conclusion of our holiday, Peter was an excellent host.
We celebrated a week in the Tuscan Mountains with friends and family from around the world and the property more than met our expectations. A well stocked kitchen, airy bedrooms and loads of space to relax , the Villa was ideal for our get together.
Upon Peter’s recommendation we hired Roy and Shirkey from the village B&B to prepare a superb al fresco lunch. Magnificent food and wine were a plenty!!
The pool provided a great addition for all ages as our party ranged from teenagers to grandparents.
If it is the real Italy you want then this is the place. Thank you.

The house provided us with the perfect base for our family holiday in Tuscany. It is incredibly well equipped, especially the kitchen, so we thoroughly enjoyed living there for a week with our children & 2 small grandchildren. The surrounding area is incredibly beautiful & we enjoyed lovely walks through the blossoming woods behind the house.
The advice provided by the owner Peter before our holiday was tremendously useful & his recommendation to enjoy a meal made by a local chef was much appreciated.
Last, but not least, the cd collection at the house is brilliant - hours of enjoyment.
