About this villa rental
Our 4/5 bedroom, south-facing Tuscan farmhouse offers breathtaking views of the Apuan Alps and the hilltop town of Sommocolonia. With no immediate neighbours, Montate is accessed via a 400m private road, ensuring complete privacy and tranquillity. There is a private heated saltwater pool, various outdoor eating areas and barbecue, and a wonderful sun deck from where you can enjoy the views. Inside the house facilities include 4 bedrooms - 2 kingsize, 1 twin and 1 bunk bed room, 2 bathrooms - one with shower, one bath/shower. Fully fitted kitchen/diner with dishwasher, oven and fridge. Washing machine and additional fridge/freezer. Sitting room with smart TV, DVD player and DVD library. WiFi access and Bose bluetooth speaker. The outside chestnut house has been converted to offer an additional mezzanine-level sleeping area and living room/games room space below. Please note this is separate from the main house, albeit only a few steps away - so the nearest bathroom is in the house.
The house is in a rural area which is a 15/20 minute drive to the nearest town - Barga. It’s perfect for those looking to get away from it all and relax with family and friends. It’s not the best option for those looking to be at the centre of the action, although day trips to Lucca, Pisa, Florence and the beach are all manageable from the house. Barga offers several excellent restaurant/bar options in addition to supermarket and other amenities and a local taxi service is available for those who would prefer not to drive.
The property is run by our amazing manager Serena and her family. She lives close by and is on hand throughout your visit to help with any questions or issues at the house and can also help enhance your stay by helping you with local advice and bookings for trips or restaurants.

Yes the road up the mountain is a little hairy first time (and in the dark) but wow is it worth it. The views are incredible. House is very comfortable with lots of places to just hang out, read books, swim in the pool and just seriously relax. If you want to be out and about every day this maybe isn't the place for you because it is a 20 minute drive into Barga (a lovely place) and you have to concentrate hard. But if, like us, you mostly want to stay and relax then there's nowhere better. There is a nice walk down the hill into Barga which takes an hour.We hired a 9 seater van and could just about get down the driveway - but back up was hairy and challenging. As long as you have something smaller you'll be fine.Serena looked after us well. All in all a fabulous family holiday.
