Amazing house and surroundings Perfect for a complete get away.The property manager met us and gave us a full rundown at checking which was greatThe local restaurant IL Pozzo was fantastic
The property is amazing, loads of space for 4 adults, comfortable and the views are fantastic. The pool was wonderful and Mirko (the property manager) was friendly and helpful. We didnât have hot water in one of the showers at first, but he fixed the issue relatively quickly. The only downside is the track to the house. It is steep and very bumpy. We were aware of this but even so, the drive was not for the faint hearted!
Tolles Haus gebaut 1872 mit viel AtmosphĂ€re und super Ausblick, total ruhig, viel Natur und Tiere. ZufahrtsstraĂe ist nichts fĂŒr Sportfahrwerke. Tolle Betreuung.
Die Villa und Pool waren exakt wie beschrieben. Auaber, gerĂ€umig, alles vorhanden was man braucht. Leider war die Zufahrt zur Villa ein Schotterweg, der sich lange gezogen hat und sehr schlecht war zum fahren. Aber ansonsten alles top! Pool war Klasse und die Aussicht ĂŒberragend. Waren als Freunde.
Points faibles : Emplacement, exactitude de lâannonce
Panorama mozzafiato
Soggiorno di 6 notti per 6 persone. Casa rurale lasciata quasi allo stato originale. Nei pregi pulizia della camere spaziose e biancheria da bagno e per i letti pulita e profumata. Splendidi scorci, bosco incantevole, piscina bella e comoda, tanto verde. Poteva essere un'esperienza a 5 stelle ed invece ahimĂš, debbo dire che siamo a 3 stelle a causa sia della strada sterrata e impervia che bisogna percorrere per circa 2km, per raggiungere la casa, fatta di curve e soprattutto di fango e roccie. Altra cosa da sistemare Ăš l'impianto idraulico, 2 bagni non in perfette condizioni che necessitano di manutenzione. Anche la discesa verso la piscina Ăš un po' dissestata, un tempo aveva un camminamento fatto di lastre in pietra oramai logore e traballanti. Un plauso da parte nostra invece va al sig. Mirco, che si Ăš reso sempre disponibile nel continuo manutentare e correre ai ripari per i disagi che abbiamo dovuto affrontare. Persona gentile e disponibile sempre pronta a prestare aiuto.
de woning ligt heel afgelegen, op een berg, met een moeilijk toegankelijke weg. Dit schrikt wel af, maar eens je het gedaan hebt en de weg kent, valt het wel mee. Nadeel hiervan is dat je niet vlug even iets kan gaan halen. Het huis is gerieflijk en degelijk ingericht en het zwembad is ideaal. Het uitzicht is fenominaal!Tevens veel leuke plekjes om de koelte op te zoeken. De ideale omgeving om te relaxen en te ontspannen! Uitstappen nemen wel wat tijd in beslag, de dichtstbij gelegen grotere stad is Lucca, op 1 uur rijden van de vakantiewoning. Het was de eerste week uitzonderlijk warm, waardoor het heel erg warm werd in de slaapkamers. Een ventilator is dan wel een must! Gelukkig kregen we op verzoek een extra exemplaar, waardoor elke slaapkamer kon voorzien worden. Het is een ideale gezinswoning en iedereen van ons gezin had het heel erg naar zijn zin. Wij kijken met weemoed terug naar een heerlijke vakantie.
Beautiful villa, stunning views with an amazing pool
Great base to explore Nothern Tuscany, admire the awe inspiring view of the mountains and spend lazy days by the pool

Lovely pool, wonderful views
We return yearly to this area, and to Homeaway to provide accommodation that matches the description on the website. Col di Maturaia has a slightly daunting drive down to the villa, but this results in seclusion, wonderful views, and the entertainment of wild boar in the orchard at night. The aspect of the pool meant we got sun until late in the day - often dragging ourselves indoors at 8pm. Locally the small town of Pieve has a great range of local stores with a baker, butcher, greengrocer, and gelato/coffee bar to name our more frequented ones. (Do try the regional "hand" shaped bread). There are really good supermarkets in the town too. We drove to Florence (2 hours) but enjoyed buying leather bags/satchels in Lucca (50 mins), where we found local workshops. Castiglione provided our favourite meal of the holiday, in an unassuming restaurant inside the walls we were served wonderful homemade food.We were lucky with the weather, but good wi fi and comfy sofas would have meant we were covered either way.

Spacious house wonderful views
A lovely house with plenty of room and very well equipped for practically all our needs. We were a family of two adults and three kids (10,13 and 14) and had masses of room. The pool is a generous size and would have kept everyone happy, but we were unfortunate with the weather so it was handy to have Wifi and TV to keep the younger lot occupied while we could find our own space to read.
The views are breathtaking and we loved watching the sun go down behind the mountains each evening. There is plenty of space to explore and we saw deer and the odd fox making a foray after fallen fruit from the trees in the garden.
We can join others in recommending Il Pozzo (superb food but again book ahead!) but our favourite was up the hill in Chiozza, Bar/Pizzeria La Grotta. Fabulous no frills food in a very relaxed atmosphere. One evening we were there you could have joined a Canasta tournament in the square outside, another evening we were invited to take part in a ping-pong/volley ball(!) tournament there.
To visit we would recommend the fortress in Verrucole, the Grotta del Vento, and the beautiful medieval bridge in Castiglione -a short walk from the town. (You can walk to this from Chiozza by joining one of the walkers' routes below that town, taking you through smallholdings and forest (magical) in less than the time it takes to drive it). Great walks around San Pellegrino too.
We loved it!
