This is a beautiful house with the most spectacular view down the valley! Kids and adults loved the pool, either jumping in repeatedly or relaxing on the sun loungers. The house itself is huge, well equipped and a cool escape when the temperature rose.
The location of the house is on a road but that didn’t bother us. We had a hire car which we felt was essential ( although there was a small bus that regularly went past the house) it was a short drive to the nearest village (you can’t walk anywhere from the house due to the road and the steep terrain) there is a lovely gelato place in Monti, a good Lidl in Aulla and we had an amazing lunch up the road in Comano after a great walk. We did a lot of driving in order to visit various sites but the Italian roads and tolls were easy to navigate and the scenery is so beautiful. Trips we made: Pisa, Portofino and Santa Margherita Ligure and we particularly like the town of Lerici.
We had a great holiday and I’m missing that wonderful view from the pool!
10.0 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2019
We very much enjoyed staying in this house (family with three children, aged 6-11).
- Very well equipped with all those little every-day things that are missing in many other rental houses.
- Nice interior, property well kept.
- Clean.
- Wonderful setting, especially the very private pool area with view to the mountains (it is one level lower than the 'kitchen/living room level' of the house).
- The nearby village of Licciana Nardi does not offer much in terms of shopping or eating. Shopping most easy in Aulla (15 min), and the coast and La Spezia is about 40 minutes by car.

A very nice villa, spacious and equipped, in the heart of the mountain. The welcome was warm with Marta who is really available in case of problem.
We spent a very nice week between friends.
6.0 / 10Average·Sep 2018
The situation and area are beautiful and there is much to like about this villa, particularly the large communal cooking area which enables cooking and chatting, and the pool is in a lovely situation.
However the place is somewhat “randomly equipped” with plenty of brandy glasses but no wine glasses; lots of dinner plates but no pasta bowls; a kettle with a broken lid, rusty pans (which Marta removed when we showed her) and no barbecue tools (we bought some). There was no attempt to repair a toilet broken by previous guests during our fortnight there.
A little more attention to detail - pots of flowers outside and expandable tables in the kitchen and on the terrace so all can be seated - would really improve the villa. Having said all this we did thoroughly enjoy our stay and none of this spoilt our holiday.
An issue that visitors need to be aware of is that the WiFi is really poor. We were very surprised that we were expected to pay extra for WiFi in advance of arrival and very frustrated with the quality - it often did not work at all and was never good enough to download attachments. We were told it couldn’t be improved (even though we could get great WiFi at a local restaurant) and the option was having it turned off completely or half what we paid for it refunded! My advice to guests would be - if you need WiFi do not book this villa!
However - having said all of the above - the owner and the local rep, Marta, were always available when contacted and we were made to feel welcome. The villa is large and comfortable and in a lovely place.
