About this house rental

An old village house with all modern comforts in an ancient mountain village in Tuscany, Italy. It boasts stunning views across the valley, from various locations around the property and garden. Originally renovated in 2005, the property has recently undergone more restoration. The kitchen has been refitted, and the property expanded to include a separate dining room, gardens and a beautiful outdoor saltwater swimming pool.

There are 2 private courtyards, one at the entrance to the property and a second adjacent one, containing an original working pizza oven, views across the valley and a medieval passageway and steps, that connects the house to the garden and pool below. In addition, there are 2 large terraces for sunbathing, or alfresco dining in the summer under the vine covered pergola; accessible from the twin bedroom or through the garden gate.

The entrance porch gives access to the kitchen and dining room to the left, ahead down a single step is the lounge. To the right, up a few steps, is the wing of the house containing 3 ample bedrooms (2 doubles and a twin), 2 bathrooms and a utility room.

Location details: Outside the main entrance to the village there is a small car park, as the village does not allow vehicular access to the properties. The house is approximately 150 metres walk from the car park on a mainly level narrow street.

There is a river at the bottom of the valley, via a path from near the village car park, with a picturesque mill, viewed from the a bridge over the river.

Try the local authentic Italian food and wine at the village agriturismo, 100 metres away, and a choice of restaurants in surrounding villages and towns. The 'agriturismo' B&B in the village, ' Casa Turchetti', will offer meals by prior booking.

There are castles and valleys to explore by horse, foot or car.

Easy to reach by car from the airports at Pisa, Genoa or Parma. It is within 40 minutes by car from the Tuscan beaches, or 'Cinque Terre' picturesque fishing villages and 1.5 hours from the historic towns of Florence, Pisa, Lucca and Parma. In the winter it is only 30 minutes from local ski resorts at 'Prato Spilla' and 'Cerreto'.

Please note: The property and garden/pool is not suitable for people with mobility issues

The property is in an amazing location with stunning views. The communication with the hosts were excellent. Always responding promptly and quick to give advice and help when needed. It’s ideal for able bodied people and good for families with children over say 7 year old. It is a bit tricky getting down to the pool with coffee or drinks due to the steps but it’s manageable and doesn’t stop you wanting to. We enjoyed meals under the grapes in the shade looking over the amazing nature. The house is fun with good size bedrooms and living room. The kitchen is split into two with 3 steps between. Again not ideal but manageable. Parking the car away from the house is fine too. It’s a very special little place with its quirks but I would highly recommended it.

We had a fantastic stay in this charming house in the Tuscan hills. The house is spacious, homely and fully equipped - perfect for a relaxing family holiday. The pool was a highlight, as were the various patios where we could enjoy both sun during the day and socialising in the evenings, with a breathtaking view over the valley. The small village the house is located in is like being taken from another time and with incredibly friendly people (although they don't speak English and think you understand Italian if they just speak slowly and clearly enough...).The hosts were very accommodating and quick to answer our questions, making us feel well looked after from start to finish.A little tip: make sure to print or screenshot the instructions from the hosts. Mobile phones were in a blind spot in the village.

Tucked away in the north tuscan hills this rural getaway was a much needed tonic. Highly recommend but bring insect repellent as the mosquitoes had a healthy appetite

If you're looking to get away from the stresses and stains of busy life then this house is perfect for you. The tiny little village is gorgeous as though you are stepping back in time. It's not perfect, its authentic. The location isn't too far from Cinque Terre, Florence, Lucca and many other interesting sites. We had wonderful holiday with our 3 grown up children, the pool is beautiful, the house is very well equipped. There are lots of steps so if you have mobility issues then it may not be the place for you. The highlight of the house is the ourdoor spaces, you have different patio areas to choose from to either capture the sun or shade from it. The setting and view of the mountains are idyllic. The only downside for us was that the beds are very firm, but that may suit other people. The hosts are very attentive and questions are answered extremely quickly. I would 100% recommend Canto Di Maggio to anyone. Thank you for a fabulous holiday.

what an amazing house , pool and location . The pictures on the site do not do it justice its much better when you see it in person . The hosts were very fast to reply to any things I needed to know before we went , very helpful and gave us lots of useful information about places to see and eat. Thanks and we would love to come back as there is a lot more to discover.

We had a great stay in this exceptional house in the Tuscan mountains. The house had a good size for a family of five, a really nice sized pool, several great patios outside and the most phenomenal view. We ate twice at the restaurant near by and can really recommend it. We went on a small hike to the nearby river and had a refreshing swim. We would revisit this place if we get the chance. Thank you Keith and Julie.

A simply stunning holiday home. The location was wonderful, deep in the beautiful Tuscan mountains, but it didn't feel isolated. Tranquil, and incredibly peaceful, the entrance to the village is unique. It really feels like you're leaving the rest of the world behind when you walk down the tunnelled entrance to the village. The house is gorgeous and tastefully modernised. A private courtyard allowed us to have many lovely lunches outside and I particularly enjoyed the opportunity to have an early morning cup of tea on the balcony, watching the sun move across the valley, and listening to the local church chiming the hour. Casa Turchetti, the B&B just up the path from the house was wonderful, the owner there very helpful, and the food outstanding! We mainly relaxed in the house, there were hundreds of books to choose from, and games and puzzles to entertain you. We really enjoyed the train ride to Lucca, there were some spectacular views on the journey, winding through the mountains. Lucca itself was gorgeous, and hiring a bike and cycling round the walls was one of the highlights of the holiday.

This house is in a beautiful setting, in an area with much to see and do -- or you can just take it easy and look at the stars! The house is very well equipped and comfortable. It is attractively decorated and has lots of space for a family of 5. There are nice books and board games to enjoy. It has a friendly lived in feel to it. The best thing, though, has to be the view from the balcony. In the area, we enjoyed visiting Bagnone and Filletto (medieval town and village), eating at Mountain Verde restaurant in Apella (just above Tavernelle), swimming in an Olympic size outdoor pool in Villefranche, eating at Beatrice (best pizza ever) in Monti, visiting Camano castle and walking up in the Appenines. We will be going back!
