About this villa rental

This 120 year old village property, situated 1 hour north of Lucca and within walking distance of a good restaurant, and other facilities is a large property split into 5 separate apartments (only let together), so ideal for large groups wishing to holiday together but have privacy between them.

Each apartment has its own entrance, is individually equipped and has its own outdoor area. There is also a large patio for dining al fresco together, along with a BBQ and outdoor kitchen. This area can also be used in case of rain.

The owner can arrange pizza evenings on request or provide local traditional meals, so if you don't want to go out, just be spoilt at home ! You can even learn to bake bread and make your own pizzas and then enjoy the results! Or, you can order aperitivi by the pool, for pre dinner snacks. There is an outdoor kitchen area and wood oven, reserved for the owner to make meals for guests, but you will eat here, or inside the large 'function' dining room when you book a meal.

Boasting beamed ceilings and traditional style flooring throughout, these apartments have been refurbished and furnished in a style keeping with the age of the property but with the benefit of functional and well equipped kitchens and modern shower rooms.

Flaviano and his family were the perfect hosts. We spent 2 weeks celebrating my birthday with friends and family at their beautiful villa in the friendly village of Pieve Fosciana. Flaviano is a chef and he prepared several meals for us that were absolutely delicious, using ingredients all from within 1km of the property. We were able to pick ingredients from the garden when we cooked for ourselves. The view from the windows and rooftop terraces are breathtaking. The area is magnificent for exploring numerous small villages and doing walks. There are a couple of nice local restaurants you can reach on foot and many more within 5 minutes drive. Luca makes a wonderful day trip! Thank you Flaviano and family for making my significant birthday celebration very special.

I booked this property to celebrate my 70rh birthday with my children and grandchildren, it was exactly what I’d hoped for, panoramic views of mountains and forest from our balcony, outside dining areas with long tables to accommodate all of us, plenty of open space and a beautiful pool so the children were very happy but also individual apartments with all facilities for each family to have some privacy. Flaviano and his family were wonderful hosts, his pizza night was so much fun with traditional toppings from various regions, and ending wth a Nutella and Smartie pizza with which the children were delighted! The accommodation itself was very traditional in style and spotlessly clean with more than adequate utensils and equipment for self catering. The village was by no means touristy, it had two supermarkets In walking distance as well as a lovely butcher and various other shops and a couple of small bars. There was a very nice restaurant in the village which we went to twice, Flaviano lit the bbq for us one evening and we cooked meats from the butchers, but had we known how good his pizza night was going to be we would have booked his Tuscan meal too…highly recommended! We would have no qualms about booking this again, it was perfect!

We LOVED our stay here and it is fair to say it exceeded our expectations. We loved the look and feel of the entire Villa. Everything from the grounds, to the pool, 5 separate apartments was spectacular. We were 4 families traveling together. We knew there were separate apartments and we would have enough space but we were pleasantly surprised at just how much extra space there was. Each family had their own space and there was an apartment to spare for the kids to take over. The pool area was our favorite spot. The saltwater pool was always clean and cared for and the amount of lounge chairs and umbrellas were plenty. The outdoor seating area and the wood fired grill was an extra bonus. Some of our favorite times was sitting around the table as a group having fabulous meals. Last, but certainly not least, the host, Flaviano, was a perfect host. He lives next door and has found the perfect balance of being available when needed and respecting space when wanted. He and his family were warm and welcoming. Typically, when staying in home rentals, you never see the host. This can be the case if you want but having him close by to answer questions was helpful. Flaviano is also an amazing cook. We opted to have the pizza dinner and the 4 course meal. This should not be missed. Both meals were served in his restaurant that is on his property. We all agreed that this stay was the best part of our vacation. We traveled for 3 weeks. Thank you Flaviano and Family.

We were a Group of twelwe from the age of 15 to 80. One appartment was excelent for the lederly immobile with two bedroms at the Ground floor. The others was accessible with stairs. The familiy renting out is very service minded, the sweetest people. We had them preparing dinners - both anti pasti, pizza party and finner party and breakfast. We had the best Home made meals. The pool area was fine, with accesible pool and Sun beds. We highly recommend this place.

We are so happy that we could stay in this amazing place! Close to grocery stores and the charming little shops with hospitable villagers. We were 15 people; 8 adults 7 children aged 0-13 who had a great time. Wonderful house with 5 apartments with their own kitchens and bathrooms, great space and large pool. The host Flaviano lives in the house next door and is very helpful with everything. DON'T MISS that Flaviano offers three-course dinners for 30€/person (children half price) pizza nights 25€/person (children half price) down in his nice taverna with wood-fired oven, local ingredients and family hospitality! We were all sad to leave this place.

A lovely village in the mountains, very nice landlord and family who runs the house. An old house with a lot of small apartments. We where a bit unlucky with the weather inspite we where there in the end of May so it was cold inside aswell as outside. But the nice days we had fantastic times around the pool. Our cyclists where very happy with the tours they went on in the surroundings. Our Pizzanight with the host was amazing!
