About this villa rental

"Friends of Tuscany" manage all aspects of your booking with tailored information to get the most from your holiday. We can help to arrange a shopping delivery service for arrival, wine tours, children’s activities, wild swimming spots, festivals, events, and restaurant recommendations based on our personal knowledge of the area after 30 years.

Villa Monte Rotondo is a four bedroomed holiday villa that has been refurbished in time for 2020. The villa is ideal for families or groups of friends who want the privacy and relaxation of a rural setting with a large 12 metre private pool.
The house has a well equipped kitchen and extensive indoor and outdoor dining facilities suitable for a large group. The four bedrooms have new en-suite bathrooms and two have access to a balcony. There is a large sitting room and an additional bathroom as well as a covered patio area outside for shaded dining.

Furnished with a tasteful mix of antique and modern furniture, this house pervades Italian style.

With only a five minute walk to the nearest restaurant, nothing could be more convenient. The restaurant is of a high standard, great value, specialising in local produce and is popular with discerning Italians from all over the region.

We are able to help you organise a pre-arrival shopping and / or a pre-arrival home cooked meal to be delivered to the villa for you.

Mountain biking, hill walking and horse riding are all available locally.

Locally: Castelnuovo, the nearby market town, has many restaurants, cafes, bars, supermarkets and all other types of shops. There is a tourist information office and a weekly market selling a wide variety of fashion, household goods, flowers, fruit and vegetables. It is only 2kms walk from the villa. There is a train station with trains to Lucca ( to Florence and Pisa ), and Aulla ( near the Cinque Terre )
The nearby medieval villages of Cascio, Eglio and Sassi are really nice and worth exploring, as are many of the other villages in the area.

We give detailed local information and recommendations.

Garfagnana is 'Hidden Tuscany' at its best. With its' stunning scenery it is the best area in Tuscany for walking and outdoor activities.
Friends of Tuscany are the oldest agency in the area, and we have close ties with an Outdoor Activities company who offer many international class adventures.

We can also help you arrange Art classes with a well known artist, excursions to the Cinque Terre, Florence and Lucca, visits to vineyards, historical guided tours to Florence and Lucca, and Italian cooking lessons.

The charming and experienced owner will leave you a "merenda", a large Italian snack meal of excellent local salamies, cheese, preserves, bread and wine.

We enjoyed our stay here at monte rotondo. It's a nice Tuscan House in the woods with pool.
6.0 / 10.0
Stayed two weeks at Monte Rotondo in September 2022. The converted barn is lovely from the outside, with stunning views over the mountains. Castelnuovo is a nice town to visit with several good restaurants, though it's not safely walkable in the dark. The pool is large and the undercover patio has a table suitable for big parties. Due to our late arrival, we couldn't find a restaurant or shop open to get dinner, but owner Enrico went out of his way at 10:30 at night to find pizza and beer for us, he was also happy to wait for payment until we'd picked up Euros. Inside, the kitchen contains an enormous table, suitable for food preparation and seating for large groups. We enjoyed trips to Bargo and Sassi and there are many hikes with spectacular mountain views in the area. With its many positives, this property does have some drawbacks. Indoor décor is in need of attention, with damp patches on walls and the tile flooring is worn and mildewed in the bathrooms. Most bedrooms are much darker than the photos depict as windows face constant shade. The stairs are very steep and narrow. Be mindful due to the altitude it can can get cold in September bring some warm clothes. The pool pump broke and though a technician arrived promptly, he was unable to repair it which made the pool unusable for the second week. If you intend visiting Cinque Terre beware it is a 2 hour journey each way over difficult mountain roads. We relocated to Levanto for a couple of days to better see Portofino and Cinque Terre. On our return, the hot water wasn't working and a water pump constantly cycled on and off all night. Again, a technician arrived promptly but it was still a long night without hot water for showers etc. Families with young children may consider the steep stairs an issue. A long hard season had left the property in need of a spring clean and basic maintenance. The owners responded promptly to our issues which was helpful.

We were two families of three and four and stayed for a week. The property is roomy and easily accommodated all of us. There is a very large covered terrace where most of our time was spent. It overlooks the large pool which we enjoyed all week long and which the owner comes once every two days to clean. The owners were very responsive and kind....I can happily recommend this property.

The property is typically Tuscan - stone built under a tiled roof - and features a double-height lounge on the first floor. The bedrooms are adequately sized and the showers functional, if quirky! The kitchen is quite dark and has an enormous slate-topped table, stone sink, modern hob/oven, dishwasher, washing machine, microwave and fridge. Most of the crockery is random 2s and 4s but fully functional. Outside there is a large covered eating area - with a second fridge, useful for beers! - looking out onto the unheated pool only a few metres away and then out across the amazing views to the Appenines beyond.

Great house to rent. Amazing views, outdoor eating space and great communal space inside. Big pool and lots of Garden. Really nice restaurant 5 minutes walk away. Enrico the owner does a great job of ensuring you have fantastic holiday. He cooked for us and arranged to take us out at the end of the holiday to show us some of his favourite places. He really made this trip special. Loads of places to see close by. I can heartily recommend.

We booked last minute, on a whim, based purely on the photo of the pool with the view of the mountains. What a lucky find! We cannot reccomend it enough. The property and location were even better than the photos suggest. What an amazing way to relax, sat by the pool or floating on the water with such a view down the valley and across to stunning hills and mountains. Inside, the converted building is clean, bright with spacious ground floor kitchen/dining area and huge upstairs living area. However we spent all our waking hours outside by the pool or under shade at the huge outdoor table. It makes a great impression when all the little things you don't want to buy for a week away are supplied like washing liquid, dishwasher tablets, washing machine powder and lots of loo roll! Enrico, the charismatic owner, stealthly ensured the pool is clean each morning before woke and surprised us with little food gifts every so often. He was proud of his property and wanted guests to have the best time possible. Thank you for the welcome pack of food and drink as well. If it helps others booking, the house is about an hour and 15 minutes drive from Pisa airport via Lucca, which is 45 minjutes from the house. The road by the house couldn't be classed as busy, you'll hear the odd honking of Italian drivers at the blind bends but the area I would call quiet and restful. We booked a rental car via the link the owner provided after booking. The price was as good as the cheapest we could find elsewhere but via their link, additional drivers were much cheaper, so worked out well. We went early August, I was worried it would be too cool in the mountains but the weather was clear and very hot. The small town in the valley is 5 minutes drive away and pleasant enough. The little supermarket has almost everything you need and friendly staff to help hapless English tourists. Coffee and croissant breakfasts are cheap and good at various pavement cafes. We chose to eat out at various tiny medievel villages in the area rather than the town for more of an atmosphere. The owner leaves a good list of where to go. One exceptional place is just 4 minutes walk from the property. The pasta with wild boar and the hazelnut ice-cream are out of this world. Again, everyone in this area is very friendly to people who can't speak Italian. It's an area of very few tourists, which is a good thing. All in all - a great property and location.
