We have had the most amazing family holiday in this beautiful accommodation, it was absolutely perfect, all the rooms are full of character and very traditional. Everywhere was immaculately clean, the grounds are perfectly maintained and the views are spectacular. The hosts were second to none, so friendly and helpful. We couldn't have asked for more.

The property is fantastic and the view enchanting! Emanuele and his family are the perfect hosts -- attentive, responsive, but extremely discreet. The house is beautiful, well-appointed, and absolutely spotless, and the outside matches the inside with countless corners to relax and enjoy the panorama, including the lovely swimming pool overlooking the majestic peaks and valleys of the Garfagnana.

We enjoyed our week at the house. The views across the valley were amazing and ever changing. The house was clean, comfortable and much more spacious than expected-plenty of indoor and outdoor facilities for eating and socialising as a group or various spaces to read or just appreciate the view. It is well stocked for self-catering. The individual apartments allowed for some privacy and space and the pool was fabulous and much appreciated on hot, sunny days The owner and his family were very welcoming and on hand if anything was needed. He visits the estate daily to tend to the various animals and birds they keep there (you are welcome to visit them during your stay). The house is set up the valley from the village, which means there is plenty of privacy but a car is needed to get around the area. Being up in the hills meant it was cooler at night-much appreciated for a good nights sleep! There is plenty of walking and sightseeing in the area and it is only a 6 minute drive to the train station which takes you to Lucca and the local towns in between, if you’d prefer to leave your car. Do try and get to the Il Merendero Pizzeria in the village if you can. An extra treat were the daily displays from the magical fireflies and the star gazing at night. A beautiful setting and house-a memorable holiday for us all.
8.0 / 10.0
The owner is very nice and supportive. Everything worked fine. We had a relaxing week at the resort. The view of hills and mountains is great. The spacious complex offers a lot of individual space. The individual apartments are individually, attractively designed and well equipped. It was very quiet (no street or neighbors). Bakery and butcher 1km away - restaurants 4km away.
