It’s bin the best vacation, on the perfect location. The host where so nice - the fridge where full when we arrive. Antonio took us to the best bakery and vinery. Booked a table for us, at the best local restaurant. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. The surroundings where beautiful. We can only recommend it for a family trip.

A taste of paradise in the beautiful Italian countryside
A taste of paradise in the beautiful Italian countryside
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Antonio and Fabiana's beautiful home. They were the perfect hosts and the villa and grounds were very tranquil with stunning views - we enjoyed being away from the crowds but within easy reach of the Cinque Terre and lovely Italian towns such as Pisa and Lucca, not to mention the sweet little town of Ortonovo itself. We arrived in the early evening and were greeted by our hosts and a delicious spread of tasty treats prepared by Fabiana. The beautiful, well equipped kitchen/sitting room which led onto the garden was also stocked with breakfast items which was a very thoughtful touch and a nice surprise. As a family of 4 adults the accommodation worked perfectly for us with one bedroom and ensuite upstairs and one downstairs. We really wished we could have stayed longer and definitely hope to return.

the perfect place to get away from the hectic life. all the rest and privacy in the middle of the olive trees and still only a few minutes walk to the nice village Castelnuovo Magra. if you like sun and sea... it's there. if you like hiking ... it's there. if you like culture, architecture and romantic walks, villages and susets.... it's there. this all with a very friendly host gives you the perfect vacation in one of the most beautiful areas of Italy ... and other countries. thanks for a vacation never to forget....

A DIFFERENT ASPECT OF TUSCANY. THIS IS A WARM AND INVITING HOME.
A DIFFERENT ASPECT OF TUSCANY. THIS IS A WARM AND INVITING HOME.
We have truly enjoyed our stay here and I highly recommend it. This was our first trip to Tuscany and indeed our first house rental anywhere outside of the U.S. We had no idea of what to expect. The location is beautiful. It isn't exactly as I had pictured it in reading about it online and from reading other reviews, but it is beautiful. The property itself could not be lovelier. There are many olive trees, there are abundant flowers, there are hedges that provide privacy. In fact the privacy afforded is a real highlight. You can see that they really paid attention to that aspect. Fabiana and Antonio were wonderful hosts! Warm, welcoming and gracious. They speak very little English however, so, it would be a good idea to brush up on your Italian before coming. Or, at the very least, keep your phrase book handy! Just know that you won't be able to communicate in English. We were not expecting that. The road leading to the property is kind of scary with several blind curves. Just be aware and drive carefully. There is a very narrow, quite long, gated driveway leading to the house. You will either have to back out of the driveway when you leave or become good at "back and fill" turn arounds. For our arrival Fabiana had prepared several wonderful snacks for us. In fact, it was enough for us to breakfast and supper on for three days! It was all marvelous. Cheeses, grapes, oranges, lemons, panettone, bruschetta, bread, cookies, olive oil, teas and coffee, wine and even Prosecco! The kitchen and living area are in separate parts of the home from the bedrooms. You need to go out side to access the kitchen/family room. It is nice in that it provides privacy. The kitchen had all the pots and pans and silverware and dishes that one needs to make a fairly extensive meal. One of our main reasons for choosing the Villetta Gardenia was the fact that they had a king size bed! In fact, they have one in each of the two bedrooms! The bathrooms were good sized (except the WC) and the shower was excellent. Although we did run out of hot water a couple of times. Be aware if a lot of you are showering. One thing that was kind of irritating was the wifi. It is provided by means of a hotspot. It was very erratic and in fact did not work most of the time. I assume that it is because of the local cell tower as our cell phones did not receive data well either. This was a wonderful experience for us and I highly recommend the Villetta Gardenia!

Our best VRBO experience ever!

Not only is this garden villetta perfect for a small family or two couples, Fabiana and Antonio are the most wonderful hosts one could hope for. We arrived late night after a long trip from Oregon, and there was an extensive cold plate dinner waiting for us! They helped us with plans for the area and told us of secret local places. When my husband's ATM card was eaten by a local machine, Fabiana drove him back down and retrieved it. We found the location perfect for driving to everything in Northern Tuscany. Simply perfect!

Our family's stay with Sea and Country Villas was great. The location (Castelnuovo Magra) and the property was excellent. We really enjoyed the quiet neighborhood and private back yard pool. I would recommend Sea and Country Villas to everyone. We definitely be looking forward to staying with them again.
