About this villa rental

This spacious and airy property has been renovated with a great deal of care, and boasts original chestnut beams, hand made chestnut windows (some of which are traditional tuscan style arched windows) and exposed stonework.

Modern comforts have not been forgotten and there are 6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms (two of which are en-suite), large kitchen a living/dining area, and a 'quiet room' leading from the dining room.... Each room has a wonderful view, and one can even bathe in the bathroom with a stunning view of the famous Uomo Morto, part of the Apuane mountain range!

The design of the villa makes it ideal for large groups, each requiring some privacy from the other, in terms of bedroom, living and kitchen space, but still wishing to spend time together. It is possible for all to dine together both inside and out.

Outside, there is the beautiful private pool (6M x 12M with internal steps) and the very spacious sunbathing terrace on one side, and grassed area surrounding the rest.

The gardens have a feeling of maturity, with many mature trees, shrubs, flowers and even rockery areas, designed in such a manner so as not to detract from the amazing views of the mountains (including the famous Uomo Morto) beyond.

A peaceful retreat, yet less than 5 minutes into town by car.

The town itself has a famous weekly market, bars, restaurants, shops, and train station for easy exploring. Drive times are: Castelnuovo 3 mins or so Mediaeval town of Barga - 15 minutes Lucca - 45 minutes Pisa - 1 hour 15 minutes Florence - 90 minutes National Park of Orrechiella - 30 mins Walking, horseriding, and picnic opportunities straight from the door!

The house is beautifully restored, very well equipped, tastefully, yet practically furnished and the pool is clean and very enjoyable. We had a great week here for a get-together with the American branch of the family and were made feel welcome from the get-go. The owners, Alan and Mel are extremely helpful and kind and we enjoyed hearing about the history of the house and the grounds. The kids spent a lot of time in the pool or playing table tennis and we did a few choice trips to nearby towns and sights. But mostly we just spent time together and enjoyed the fantastic views of the mountains and the peace and quiet of the countryside with a glass of wine on the terrace. Perfect vacation!

a wonderful Italian villa
a wonderful Italian villa
My family and I (7 adults and an Infant) have just returned from a 1 week holiday in Orbaci in what I can only describe as a wonderful Italian villa situated a short distance from the small town of Castelnuova. The large spacious four bedroom three story villa had everything you could possibly need including large and small dining areas, spacious pool, table tennis, and a small "library". Underneath the main house was a separate self-contained two bedroomed apartment area which was ideal for my wife and me. The pool was spotless and maintained to a very high standard. Alan and Mel were wonderful and provided a beautiful meal for our group. Too top it all they baked the most wonderful lemon drizzle cake as a birthday gift to one of our group. I could not recommend this property highly enough as a place to relax and explore beautiful Tuscany.

The location was great amidst the mountains with the best views and night skies (I have seen more stars in one night than in 25 years in The Netherlands) and even a group of passing deer one fine morning. Alan and Mel were great hosts who take loving care of their property and their guests. We felt welcome. Our group consisted of 9 people, ages 16-79, and we were quite comfortable. The pool was excellent, the pool area providing some pleasantly shaded areas. Our stay could not have been better. Highly recommended.

Lovely & relaxing holiday!
Lovely & relaxing holiday!
As a family of 30-70 year olds we had a brilliant time! The view & outside space was amazing! The villa was in a lovely, traditional style & provided all that we needed. The owners were really friendly & helpful, including staying with us to sort out our broken down, hired vehicle on our arrival ,to Castelnuovo.! The swimming pool area was delightful & very relaxing with a great size pool. The town, in walking distance, was really nice & we had a great time at the their festival on our last evening. Thank you very much for our amazing, celebratory meal whilst with you! Would definitely stay again! PS Home away -please make sure you send visitor package of instructions & directions

Beautiful villa with stunning views
Beautiful villa with stunning views
Stayed here for 1 week with friends. We are 4 adults, 1 teenager and 4 under 12,s. We all enjoyed the space and the pool. We were luck enough to be able to book the owners to cook for us which was fabulous! We managed to walk into town down the steep hill on 5 occasions and it was no problem for the children - it took around 25 mins, There was a few nice restaurants to choose from. We got a mini bus taxi back on each evening from the wonderful Antonio! It’s a long way to beach but we went there on our last day as we had a whole day to fill before our flight home. Alan and Mel are wonderful hosts and even dropped off some fresh produce from their farm on a few mornings. Thanks for a great stay!

Stunning villa for a fantastic family holiday
Stunning villa for a fantastic family holiday
My family and I (7 adults, 2 teenagers and 1 child) have just returned from a 2 week holiday in Orbaci and I cannot fault the villa. The photographs barely do this beautiful property justice. Set within a Tuscan hillside it is rural yet only a short distance from the lively Castelnuova. The house has been lovingly restored and has everything you could possibly need. The pool is carefully maintained and provided a much needed cooling off particularly for the kids. The grounds and surroundings are stunning as are the mountain views. The nearby towns and villages are great for exploring, and the villa was a great base for trips to Barga, Lucca and Florence. Our hosts Alan and Mel were so lovely, always on hand to help with anything we needed, and the meal Mel prepared for us one evening was out of this world..probably the best we had during our whole visit! To top it all off we had the pleasure of two lovely cats that live outside in the grounds. There is nothing negative to say about Orbaci or its owners, we loved everything about it. We hope to someday be back and I cannot recommend it enough! Thank you so much!

My family (8 adults, 4 kids) spent an unforgettable week at Orbaci. The farmhouse, garden, terrace and pool, everything was in perfect condition. The location in the hills of C.d.G. is amazing and there is plenty of space for everybody. Restaurants and grocery shopping within 5min driving distance. And most importantly: The hosts were amazing: Very friendly, helpful with every question and even prepared a delicious cake. We will be back!
