A little about the area:
This wonderful villa is set within walking distance of a variety of restaurants and also just 1.5km from the beautiful, walled historic town of Montecarlo, an area renowned for its quality wines, and olive oil. Here one can also find various bars, restaurants and small grocery shops.... Or, join the 'strada del vino' and have a wine tour! Large supermarket is in Altopascio less than a 10 minute drive.
Montecarlo train station , for trips to Florence and Lucca is just 1.5 km by foot through a shortcut. For more frequent trains then a 5 minute drive to Altopascio station is an easy alternative.
There is a bus stop only 600M from the villa too, although buses are intermittent.

Situated less than 15 minutes from the motorway, and only 20 mins from the stunning walled mediaeval city of Lucca, the location is ideal for exploring other Tuscan towns and cities, with distances as follows:

Montecarlo - 1.5km - beautiful walled town with its own fortress, famed for its vineyards and wine, situated on the 'Strada del Vino'
Stunning mediaeval fully walled city of Lucca - 15 km. Lucca, has regular markets, antiques markets, outdoor concerts with major names, or if you prefer nightly opera recitals, designer shopping, the wall which is wonderful for cycling, relaxing, children's parks, plenty of restaurants and bars, beautiful Piazzas.....
Pisa with it's leaning tower and cathedral - 37 km.
Montecatini Terme - beautiful spa town- 12km.
Florence , home of Michelangelo's David and The Pontevecchio - 60 km.
Beaches of Viareggio - 40 km.
San Gimignano - 70km
Whilst great as a base, the area itself is very beautiful, with plenty of vineyards and beautiful hilltop villages to visit, and the countryside is just stunning.....

NB - owner lives on site but in an 'underground ' property away from the main house, giving guests full privacy, with no worries about making a noise either! Owners available of course if they are needed and they keep the garden and pool area beautiful for you.

Our 5 days stay in this house was above our expectations. Franco, the owner was incredibly helpful and since it was a birthday celebration he was especially attentive. The rooms are large and airy with comfortable beds, amazing garden and great and clean pool. The agency that rents out is professional, quick to respond and very helpful.And - the chefs they provided to us were the best we have experienced in terms of taste, setting, and cleaning. We will happily return here!!

A wonderful week in Franco's villa. Lovely location - we did the walk up to Montecarlo most days to sample some of the local restaurants and coffee shops - and an easy drive into Altopascio for food shopping. The villa was well laid out for a group of 13 of us ranging from 9 to 49 and pretty well equipped including pool inflatables and sun loungers for the lovely infinity pool. Franco was very helpful and hospitable. Only slight criticisms are that the aircon on the top floor is not really strong enough to support the. 38 degree weather we had, plastic cups would be useful for the kids and around the pool (we picked some up at the supermarket) and an electric car charging point would be amazing as there appear to be a lot locally which don't work!All in all however, a great house and we all had a brilliant time.

This lovely villa is the ideal venue for family gatherings. It is a wonderful location, in rural Tuscany close to Lucca with fantastic views. The host Franco was very helpful and responsive to any concerns .The infinity pool is a perfect size and much enjoyed by all. The villa and annexe were both spotless.

We were a family group of 13 & felt the house met all our needs. Franco greeted us warmly and was on hand with lots of help. We loved the beautiful town of Montecarlo, a 20 minute walk away, where we enjoyed our first lunch together & several evenings. Spent an afternoon locally on a vineyard tour which was superb. The villa was brilliantly located for day trips into Lucca, Florence & Pizza. The pool was beautiful and relaxing & enjoyed by the whole group. It was cleaned regularly throughout our stay. Thank you Franco for a fantastic time in you wonderful home

The property is divided into a cottage and two large apartments, making it perfect for multi-generational family holidays. Great infinity pool, all at one depth. Air con is in hallways and communal areas, rather than bedrooms, but works effectively. Beautiful gardens and BBQ area. The location is a 10 minute walk from a few restaurants, and a short drive to Montecarlo for a better choice. Franco, the owner, is very attentive and responsive. I highly recommend, and would be very happy to return.

We stayed one week with our family. House was clean and really spacious with italian history included in interior decoration. Everything in the house functioned well and there wasn’t any problems. Host’s friend Marcello even cleaned the pool every morning. Maybe only difficult thing to get hang of was recycling of the trashes, as it was bit complicated system with specific dates of pick-up for different trashes. But with the help of our host we managed to handle it :) Views from villa were beautiful to both sides, downhill vista to the village of Marginone and valleys, and looking up was medieval village of Montecarlo. Both villages were in walking distance, around 1,5 km. Lastly, our host Franco was such a lovely person and true gentleman! Everything worked with him and he was friendly and helpful. We were celebrating my 50th birthday, and asked Franco could he arrange some kind of birthday dinner for us, and he said of course. Dinner cost us barely anything and we thought he would order some kind of catering for us, but turned out that he was going to cook 4 course dinner for us by himself! Dinner was delicious and something we will remember forever.
