Fantastic ! Francesca is a wonderful guest. The house, with a private pool, is just perfect. We enjoyed the house so much that we did not visit the region as much as planned. Great place to just chill out, but also very close to the beaches.

We had a wonderful stay at this property. Francesca welcomed us on our first evening with a delicious Italian spread with ingredients from her garden and wine from her winery.Our kids loved playing in the pool and our spaniel enjoyed rummaging through the olive trees in the garden.The house was traditional, very clean and the kitchen was well stocked with all the utensils we needed when we cooked for ourselves in the evenings.The hill up to the house from the town below was steep but we got used to it, walking down to the gelateria and bakery for fresh pastries. The train station was a ten minute car ride away and we enjoyed trips to Florence, Pisa and Lucca.Thank you for a wonderful stay, Francesca.

Paradise! This property is a 10/10! Our host Francesca is amazing. She greeted us upon arrival and even invited us for a most delicious dinner. She was extremely helpful to find spots to visit in the area and how to get there. The residence was beautiful and charming. It was a perfect home base for our family of 5. The place has everything you need for your stay. We were all completely charmed by the property with its Olive trees, vineyard and other fruit trees. The pool is nestled overlooking the land below with the ocean not far off. We loved everything about this place and we're hoping to come back, this time staying for longer. The residence is beautifullly situated not far from bigger cities like Pisa and La Spezia (think Cinque Terre). But there are lots of smaller and charming places such as Pietrasanta, Forte dei Marmi nearby which are fun to stroll through. If you're in the area, absolutely book with Francesca.

We are just back from our stay and it was a truly genuine Tuscan experience. We were treated to a gorgeous meal on our night of arrival with our host Francesca and her family. She made us all the local dishes, we tried her stunning wines and we got so much advice on where to visit on our trip from her. She was so helpful, we just texted throughout our stay with any questions. The villa was stunning, and the pool was a huge hit with our teenagers. This is a great spot to explore from and we went to Lucca, the beach at Forte di Marmi, La Cinque Terra and also a trip to see some caves. But it was so lovely to come back to the vill a and relax each evening. It had everything you could possibly want to cook and also plenthy of towels etc...
Overall an absolute hit, would love to return!

Lovely rustic villa in the foothills of the Apuan Alps with stunning views over vinyards, the town and the sea. We were warmly greeted by owners Francesca and Manu, who invited us to join them for a buffet and to taste some of the wine they produce. The villa is set on a steep hillside on 3 levels (so you need to be ok with going up and down stairs!) The pool is set on the same level as the ground floor and has seating and sunbeds alongside. The local ameneties in nearby Ripa are limited, but there is a choice of supermarkets within a few minutes drive towards Forte Dei Marmi. FDM is clearly an 'up market' seaside town with lots of designer shops and a number of restaurants and cafes, mainly set out around the centre that joins the beach at the point where the pier is situated. The beachfront, which stretches for miles in both directions is mostly taken up by private beach clubs. These comprise restaurants and bars and a slice of the beach that they charge you (some a lot!) for using. There are small sections of beach set aside as free to use. We found a community run club called 'Commuale Levante' just before you leave FDM. €20 a day for use of 2 deckchairs, a sunbed and parasol. It's restaurant (Alle Boe) was very friendly and reasonably priced. Best place we found for eating out was nearby Pietrasanta, which has a real old-town feel, but is also a centre for sculpture of all kinds, which is all around you. Daytrip to walled town, Lucca (40 mins drive) was well worth it.

Francesca & her family could not have been more welcoming or helpful - the house is spotlessly clean, with amazing views to the sea. It is also beautifully restored so you are staying in an authentic and charming farmhouse close to many interesting and enjoyable sites to visit. We cannot recommend this venue highly enough!

We had a great stay at Francesca and Emmanuel's place.
Very friendly and helpful hosts, that make you feel at home from the moment you arrive. Thanks for the great welcome dinner, and the flexibility of eating late because of our delay in arrival.
We enjoyed the peaceful location, and amazing views from the hills. We did trips early in the day, and spent time in and around the pool during the hot afternoon hours. The olive garden provides great shadows.

The property lies in a hill, with a great view. Short distance to shop, beach, restaurants and great sights. Small town like Pietrasanta 10 minutes by car. Lucca 40 minutes by car. The pool was great for the kids (and adults) in the warm Italian summer. Host and her family welcomed us with local foods and wine produced by their family, this was really a nice experience! House was clean, 3 floors, authentic Italian style equipped with all we needed. Towels for the pool, and for the shower. Toilet in first and third floor. Puzzles and games for the kids. Nice trail for hiking from the house, up to the top of the hill behind the house. Great stay!

We had a very pleasant stay! The house is beautiful and has everything you need. The view from the property is amazing. We loved to come back to the house after a day out. The pool was nice with a spectacular view. The hosts were generous, friendly and helpful. We can absolutely recommend a stay here,
and we hope to come back!

Francesca and her family were the absolute best hosts we have ever had in a VRBO. The house was in the perfect spot for our trips to the beach, a day in Lucca and a boat rental in La Spezia. Francesca helped make all of the reservations for the beach club (when everything was supposedly sold out!!) and two of the most unique and special restaurants. We never would have found them on our own but they were better than we could have imagined. If I could give the home 6 stars I would.

Francesca is an amazing hostess, and the house was impeccable and charming and well equipped. Communication went very smoothly via WhatsApp and we stayed there at the end of august for three days. We enjoyed the views from the house, and the beach at Forte dei Marmi which you can reach in 10-15 minutes. Francesca and her family invited us generously for a beautiful dinner when we arrived, which we never experienced before whilst renting houses in Italy! She makes her own delicious wines, which are for sale, highly recommended! A very kind gesture was also to find some water, milk and yoghurts in the fridge and some eggs, bread and jam etc. or breakfast, all very thoughtful. It was special to see the vineyards and the sea from the kitchen. The swimming pool is nice to cool down in, but not really suited to swim your laps in. The house is on a hill, with great views. The terrain is quite steep, there is a car port for the car, it can require some manoeuvring for long cars. Thank you again Francesca!

Perfect tranquil location for a family holiday
Perfect tranquil location for a family holiday
We thoroughly enjoyed our recent stay at Francesca’s and Emmanuelle’s home. Situated a few miles from Forte die Marmi in their own vineyard in the beautiful hills. We loved the gorgeous secluded pool with the amazing view. Francesca and her family couldn’t have been more welcoming:- inviting us to dinner with them on our first night, and inviting us to sample their wine produced from their own vineyard. We felt privileged to have been so welcomed by them, and it really made our stay so special, to be able to join them in harvesting the grapes and a post-harvest Italian lunch with their relatives.
Many thanks to Francesca, Emmanuelle, Marco and Sky the french bulldog!... and see you again! X

Charming villa, with amazing views and great hosts
Charming villa, with amazing views and great hosts
We stayed for a week in August and the villa was perfect for our family of four.
Our children would have happily spent the entire holiday in the pool, which would could also easily have done, as it was very relaxing to watch the world go by from its quiet, elevated position in the hills.
The villa, however, is also well placed for exploring the surrounding area, with beach ahead, hills/mountains behind and easy access to plenty of the history and culture you would expect of Tuscany.
The property itself is a charming, rustic villa and we didn't feel the photos quite did it justice. The view greeting you from the main bedroom on opening the shutters in the morning was genuinely good for the soul! The pool is also only metres away, despite feeling secluded and there is a ground floor w/c which makes for a very convenient set-up, despite the property being over three floors.
As other reviewers have noted, our hosts were excellent. Freindly and welcoming and always available to help, without being overbearing. Francesca cooked us a lovely meal early into our stay and chatting with her and her family (not to mention drinking wine produced on their vineyard!) very much helped cement our affection for the property and area. Very pleased that we chose to stay here and would happily do so again.

We have just returned from a weeks stay in this beautiful area of Tuscany. The area was recommended to me by a friend who lived in Pietrasanta for 10 years. The villa is in a perfect location on a hill with wonderful views overlooking the town and the nearby sea and is surrounded by olive trees and grapevines. From there you can easily reach the towns of Lucca, Viareggio, Pisa and Florence. We also caught the ferry from Lerici (a lovely harbour town with a medieval castle) to the Cinque Terre.
Our children loved having a swimming pool that they could cool down in and the villa had everything you could need.
What made our holiday so special though we're our hosts, Francesca and Manu and their amazing family. Their warmth and generosity goes above and beyond all expectations. We were invited to dinner on our first night to sample traditional Italian cuisine which was delicious along with the some of the best wines we have ever tasted which Francesca actually makes at her home. We were lucky enough to be there for the harvest and met some more of the family all of whom were equally friendly and welcoming. We were even invited to join them at a Sagra that evening where the locals meet to chat, eat and dance. I had mentioned that we were celebrating our daughter's birthday (and mine) and Francesca did a Pizza Party for her which she loved - the best pizzas we've ever tasted!!
We have made some amazing memories - not only of the places we visited but also of the wonderful new friends we have made. We would definitely recommend this wonderful property. Thank you so much Francesca and Manu. You made our stay a truly memorable one which we will never forget ! 😊

We had a lovely fortnight in this beautiful villa in August 2018. Francesca and her family made us feel so very welcome, and shared some lovely food and wine with us. The villa was spacious, clean and well equipped, and the kids loved being in the pool. By day there is a great view to the coast and by night you can sit out under the stars. We found lots of good things to do in the area including Pisa, Florence and Lucca. The local beach was clean and affordable and the sea was so warm.

We have visited Francesca and Manu twice now, and had a wonderful time with our family. They are warm, gracious hosts that offer a beautiful villa with an incredible kitchen, great views of the sea, a pool, and the smell of olive trees all around you. A perfect place to visit with kids, especially with the beach ten minutes away. And everything seems to taste better in this part of the world--especially if you are lucky enough to have Francesca cook it for you!

This place is absolutely magnificent. Neither the descrition, nor the pictures gives full justice to the charming villa and it's breathtaking view of the ocean and neighboring mountains.
Francesca and her family are considerate, attentive hosts, doing their best to help at all time. The house is well-equipped, has great rooms and a very authentic charm.
It's Tuscany in the summer, so it's hot, and there's no air condition. Also there's plenty of mosquitos. But other that that, no complaints whatsoever. We would happily return.

We enjoyed so much our stay with it's gorgeous views, the relaxing villa and (vineyard) grounds with refreshing pool and above all the warmth and care of our hosts Francesca and Manu. Our girls (3 and 6) loved every minute of it and were so thrilled to be there for one of the harvests. We cherish our memories and photos and enjoyed the proximity to the beach, hiking in the Alpuane, culture/shopping/meals in Pietrasanta and Serravezza just minutes away. We are forever grateful to our wonderful host Dr. Giorgio who took such great care of us when my wife got ill in the middle of our lovely holiday. Plus made the most lovely birthday panna cotta ever made. We can't wait to get back to this lovely place and luckily we have some bottles from the vineyard to refresh our memories and tide us over in the meantime...

We keep coming back to this magical place...
We recently came back from yet another stay at Villa Giovanna, our third in as many years! (See my first review from 2013.) And the only regret is that we couldn't come more often...
The pull of Versilia (and more broadly Tuscany) is getting stronger each time. This summer we visited all of our favorite spots in the area, as well as discovered new ones.
We've become friends with Francesca and her wonderful family and love spending time and sharing meals with them. Their generosity and joy of life are inimitable. We made a very special trip together this year to Antro del Corchia, a vast and spectacular mountain cave. This was followed by attending a summer solstice festival in a beautiful little village high up in the mountains, complete with delicious food and a recital of Puccini arias. An unforgettable day!
I wrote extensively about the house, and the grounds, in my first review, and can only add that it feels ever more cosy and comfortable. The views are stunning and serene at the same time; the photos on the web hardly give them justice.
We feel lucky that we discovered Villa Giovanna, and lucky to have met Francesca, Emanuele, Marco and Giorgio. We can't wait to come back to feel again the warmth of Tuscany, of this house and of our friends.

We just had the most amazing week @ Villa Giovanna. Francesca and her father JoJo were nice enough to meet us off the Autostrada @ the Versilia exit and escort us up to the Villa.
The villa was so old world charm up in the hills of Ripa di Seravezza. I had told Francesca we we're celebrating our 50th wedding Anniversary and upon arrival was a beautiful basket filled with fruit, cookies,& two bottles of their wines. She also filled our refrigerator with breakfast items as we got there late in the afternoon. We just could'nt believe the warmth in these people.
The view from the villa was so beautiful at daytime but at night it took your breath away,
We were just a short drive down the hill from town and close to many other towns.
I could go on about all the other wonderful things they did for us but there is just not enough space. But if your looking for as I said "old world charm" and the most gracious people you'll ever want to meet then Villa Giovanna should be your next destination. Thank you Emanuele, Francesca, Marco and JoJo. We miss you already! Fondly, Betty

My husband, 2 daughters and I have just returned from a 3 week European vacation. Our one week stay at this charming villa in the Tuscan region, remains the part of our trip we can't stop talking about!
The location was fantastic. We took full advantage , and made day trips to explored so many nearby cities including Florance, Lucca, and Pisa! With only a 5 minute car ride ride, we could be laying on the beaches of Forte Dei Marmi, or eating a fabulous meal at a trattoria in the lovely town of Pietrasanta!
The house has an old world feel and look, and being on the hillside, the views from the windows are very beautiful. It was very clean, bathroom was updated and kitchen was fully equipped where we made a few meals ( the grocery store was only a few minutes away by car), and it had a washing machine. The children had so much fun in the pool, and loved exploring the outside grounds of the house.
Francesca and her family( the owners) were so gracious and helpful! We look forward to our return!

The home is beautifully decorated and is situated in the hills above Forte Dei Marmi. It is a short drive to the beaches of Forte Dei Marmi, and the family was graciuos enough to invite us to join them at their reserved spots on a lovely beach.
It is also is centrally located for day trips to Lucca, Florence, Pisa and the amazing towns of Cinque Terra. We would highly recommend this home to anyone wanting to explore this amazing area of Italy!

A Perfect Tuscan Vacation in an Idyllic Spot!
A Perfect Tuscan Vacation in an Idyllic Spot!
Living in New York City, my family and I prefer to spend our vacations in the countryside. We often use HomeAway to book places to stay both in the United States and Europe. I am particularly fastidious when it comes to selecting the right house or villa. And generally, we've done pretty well with our selections over the years. However, Villa Giovanna takes the top prize!
A tranquil spot, nicely tucked away in the hills overlooking the Ligurian Sea, with an olive grove in the front of it, and a vineyard in the back, this is a genuine Tuscan idyll. The views are magnificent, whether in the brightness of the day, with the shimmering sea on the horizon, or at night, when you can see lights flickering on Corsica in the distance.
But you don't have to be content with just looking at the sea. The beaches of Forte dei Marmi and neighboring towns are only a 10-minute drive away. Tuscan gems such as Lucca, Pietrasanta, Peccioli are all within close proximity.
The house is built in the 1920s and has all the charm and solidity one would expect in an old-world structure like that. Most of the furniture is from the same period. The house is furnished and decorated with authentic and highly pleasing rustic elegance. The bathrooms, kitchen and all the rest of the rooms are maintained in spotless cleanliness (take it from someone who's insanely picky about such things).
Francesca and her family are extremely warm, caring and gracious. They treated us as guests, not as renters. They are happy to provide you with all sorts of tips and useful information about the area and will gladly share with you things about their life and interests (not to mention the wine the produce). At the same time, they will fully respect your privacy when you want it.
I can't wait to be back and enjoy once again sipping wine on the terrace, reading in the shade of an olive tree, and splashing with my son in the pool.

My new husband and I spent 5 days here in August of 2013. We can not say enough about how wonderful this property was. Francesca and her family were superb hosts, and the villa itself is even more beautiful in person. The building itself is a lovely, rustic farmhouse with a large kitchen and three stories. We were two people, but it is ample space for a family! The view is spectacular over the vineyards, hills and ocean in the distance. The pool was perfect for cooling off in the hot summer sun! We had a truly wonderful time - it was exactly what we wanted for our honeymoon. Thank you Francesca!!

Best Part of Our Italy Trip
Best Part of Our Italy Trip
Just returned from a 2 week trip through Italy including Rome and various places in Tuscany. Our time here was by far, the best part of the trip. We had found the property because we were looking to stay in Forte dei Marmi, but found this property just a few miles away. It turned out to be the perfect combination of touristy and upscale Forte dei Marmi and an authentic, peaceful Italian village. We got our cappuccinos and pastries with locals every morning in town and then drove a few minutes to Forte dei Marmi for the posh restaurants and stores. Then, we'd return to the peaceful sanctuary of the villa. We'd make our own dinner and enjoy the fabulous views to the sea ahead of us.
Francesca, Emanuele and their son Marco were terrific to share the experience with. They were incredibly gracious and helpful and we hope we see them again. They make their own wine and olive oil and graciously offered to share it with us. The house had 3 floors - and beautiful views from all the windows. I couldn't recommend the villa more positively. Go and you won't regret it!

Awesome holiday in Seravezza
Awesome holiday in Seravezza
The villa is situated on a very beautiful mountain with magnificient view to the city lying beneath it(fForte dei Marmi) , especially at nights. it has its own beautiful wineyard, lemon trees, olive trees and lots of other exotic plants.
The family that owns the place is very helpful and friendly and they take very good care of their customers.
The house itself is gorgeous, clean and has all the equipment needed in a family household.
The villa itself is in a peaceful place, but It is very comfortable to make trips to big cities like Firenze, Pisa, Lucca, Viareggio etc as the motorways are near.
The beach is only 5 km away and several shopping centres and restaurants are nearby.
I highly recommend this place, as I had there a holiday that I will never forget.

We lived there 6 months with our two sons.
House is a period house with nice historic details with local marble application and rustic antiques. Well equipped for any occasion and suitable for long term stays as well. Pool has fantastic views over the Forte dei Marmi romantic beach town that is 5 km drive away. Their large garden has clementines, lemons, oranges, mandarins, figs and olives.
Location is very quiet, yet easily reachable from motorway and beach road. Florence, Lucca, Viareggio, Pisa, Portovenere, La Spezia are all short drive away.
Owners are extremely nice local organic farmers and producers of locally renowned high quality wines. They speak good English and are very helpful.
Based on our experiences of stays in different Med countries we rate this property and the owners excellent.

Zuhause auf Zeit mit Wohlfühlgarantie
Zuhause auf Zeit mit Wohlfühlgarantie
Unsere herzliche Gastgeberin Francesca begrüßte uns - 2 Erw., 3 Jugendliche 14-17- schon mit einem begeisternden toskanischen Abendmahl und hatte auch für alle weiteren Fragen bzgl. Weinanbau, Unternehmungen, Radverleih, freie Strände, passende Auflaufform.. stets ein offenes, geduldiges Ohr. Sie wäre sogar zu einem unvorhergesehenen Trip zum nahe gelegenen Bahnhof in aller Herrgottsfrühe bereit gewesen.
Das Haus fand bei allen Anklang, was sowohl an der heimeligen Einrichtung, der best ausgestatteten Küche und der allgemeinen Sauberkeit als auch am traumhaft gelegenen Pool mit Blick über Weinberge und Ebene bis hin zum Meer lag. Nur der enge, an Kurven und Steigung reiche Weg zum Anwesen ließ den Fahrer manchmal fluchen🙃, die Beifahrer beten, die Radfahrerin japsen.
Die Umgebung hatte auch in großer Hitze für verschiedene Bedürfnisse viel zu bieten: Marktausflüge nach Pietrasanta, Viareggio und Forte dei Marmi, die Erkundung von Lucca, Wanderung in den Bergen zu Wasserfällen, die freilich im Juli22 eher Rinnsale ähneln, und natürlich zahlreiche Besuche des Strandes von Forte dei Marmi.
Zu unserer Freude gibt es im Dorf nach 15 Minuten Fußmarsch einen hervorragenden Bäcker, Konditor, Metzger, die obligatorische Bar für den morgendlichen Espresso, eine gute Pizzeria und eine gelateria, der man bis Mitternacht einen Besuch abstatten kann.
Wir endeten unseren Urlaub mit Francesca und Familie beim Volksfest und waren untröstlich, der Villa Giovanna schon wieder den Rücken kehren zu müssen.

Værtsparret er utroligt behagelige og hjælpsomme mennesker - en fornøjelse at være gæster hos. Huset har en fantastisk beliggenhed på bjergskråningen mellem oliventræer og vinmarker. Udsigten over byen og havet er enestående.
