Our week at this location was simply amazing!!!
Remote, in the mountains with magical sights. One could truly feel in the clouds.
The hosts were kind and super friendly, and the place and the food were incredible.
Both of the hosts were just amazing and always willing to help. No matter what request or wish, there were always more than willing to help and give recommendations. It felt like a little piece of home :)
I can only recommend your stay there!
We celebrated our wedding with a small group of close family and friends, and the experience exceeded all expectations. The villa was the perfect setting, beautifully designed to accommodate everyone comfortably while still allowing each group their own sense of privacy.The scenery was absolutely stunning, with breathtaking views that made the entire stay feel magical. The hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming, creating a warm and relaxed atmosphere from the moment we arrived.Our rehearsal dinner was a highlight, we enjoyed amazing pizza along with beer and wine, all prepared by a talented chef. There was a wide variety of toppings, and every guest found something they loved.Marie was instrumental in bringing everything together. She helped coordinate every detail, from flowers and catering to hair services and connecting us with a fantastic photographer. Her organization and support made the entire process seamless.This villa and everyone involved truly made our dream wedding come to life. Thank you for creating such a memorable and special experience for us.
Er zijn geen woorden voor om te omschrijven dat je zo een sprookje binnen wandelt.. het is paradijselijk mooi. Als je iets te vieren hebt, dan is deze locatie perfect geschikt om bij te dragen aan de vreugde! Wij hebben enorm genoten van deze bestemming, van de lieve eigenaren en van de prachtige inrichting van de kamers. Dit moet je eens in je leven meemaken!
WOW! The villa was even better than in photos. We did not speak the same language as the hosts, but they did absolutely everything they could to make our stay perfect! We hosted our wedding here with 21 people, including ourselves. I couldn't have asked for anything better. The venue, food, vendors, etc. were just wonderful. If you're on the fence about this listing, this is your sign to book it!
We had a small wedding here in the first week of October, and everything about this villa exceeded our expectations! To start, the property and surrounding area is unbelievably beautiful. Barga and Castelnuovo are hidden gems that had great restaurants and sights to visit. The property itself is nestled on the side of the mountain, and has stunning views of the valley. Our favorite was the morning fog that rolls in! The villa itself was perfectly updated, while retaining its Tuscan charm. We were able to comfortably fit family and friends in the individual apartments that allowed for hanging out but privacy also. However the best part of our stay at the villa was interacting with the owner, our wedding coordinator Marie (through Tuscan retreats), and the staff. They immediately treated us like family and were extremely generous! They cooked our wedding reception dinner as well as the pizza night. The food was up there with some of the best meals weâve ever had, and the service felt like fine dining! They were so understanding and gracious with all of the chaos that comes with a wedding, and for that weâll be forever grateful.We highly recommend this property to anyone thinking about getting off the beaten path in Tuscany, we certainly canât wait for our next visit!
This property is beyond spectacular. Exquisitely beautiful. My wife began to cry as we walked into the courtyard for the first time because it was so much more lovely than we dared to expect. We had a celebration of our marriage here with our family and enjoyed a dinner in the olive garden and a pizza night where the host prepared pizza in the wood fired oven. The host and his wife were lovely people. Our whole stay there was like a dream. The view is spectacular. Words don't do justice to it.
Unforgettable stay in a fabulous, historic setting. We were celebrating a special birthday with friends and couldnât have found a more perfect, relaxed setting in which to enjoy the occasion.The apartments and grounds provide ample space for a large party with a backdrop of the Tuscan countryside and view of the Appian Alps. The hosts are kind and considerate, and the meal we had catered by the staff was lovely. Every day was an adventure walking in nature, by lakes, forests, swimming or hanging out around the pool.
Where to begin!? The photos in the listing simply do not do this property justice. It is a truly magical location and I highly recommend it. We rented the entire place, for 20 people, to celebrate a birthday and each family, couple or single had their own private space/apartment, while still being part of the whole. It's charming and had all the amenities. There are several nearby villages to grab dinner or groceries, and Lucca is only an hour away. It's a bit of a hike to the marble quarries, or Cinque Terre but we did it. You must have a car or driver though, it's too remote to get to and from easily. The owners were delightful. We ended up booking breakfast everyday, as well as a pizza night and a final goodbye dinner with their chef. Everything was fantastic!! Make sure you get an e-sim (their wifi is fine too) before you arrive and load up google translate, as the owners only speak Italian. We will cherish our memories of our stay for years to come.
Magical from the first step! Stunning vistas, delicious prepared meals by Donatella & Ivano, comfortable accommodations only surpassed by the hosts; Amadeau & Rosa-Alba!!! PS: safe your stale bread for the donkeys; Silvio, Salvia &
La villa parfaite pour fĂȘter mes 60 ans avec mes meilleurs amis.Le site est exceptionnel, la vue est imprenable et le lieu magique.Il faut aimer la campagne. La region est trĂšs rurale, mais aussi trĂšs authentique.
We had the most magical wedding we could imagine here. All of the staff were so kind and accommodating. This will be a trip we will never forget. I can't say enough great things about the people, the stay, the wedding, etc. Highly recommend!
Es war wunderbar.
Wir haben unsere Hochzeit dort gefeiert und es war rundum perfekt.
Die Gastgeber sind super nett und zuvorkommend und das zubereitete Essen war traumhaft.
Pure Empfehlung :)
This property has amazing views and an amazing experience. Close to a lot of small towns to visit. Less than and hour away from Lucca.
This property is a true gem and the owners are fantastic. Do not miss out on their pizza night.
Wir haben das Haus fĂŒr sechs Tage gebucht, um die Hochzeit meiner Tochter zu feiern. Im Vorfeld war Marie von der Agentur von unschĂ€tzbarem Wert, indem sie uns hilfreiche Tipps zu Catering, Pizza-Dinner, Blumendekoration gab und unsere vielen Fragen geduldig beantwortete - alles per e-mail. Die sehr freundlichen italienischen Hausbesitzer haben uns empfangen und uns durch das schöne groĂzĂŒgige Haupthaus, die zum â Poolhausâ umgebaute ehemalige Scheune und das riesige GelĂ€nde gefĂŒhrt, Swimmingpool, Garten, Innenhof, groĂe Profi-KĂŒche: Alles stand zu unserer VerfĂŒgung. Und auch das Wetter, die groĂe UnwĂ€gbarkeit beim DrauĂen feiern, spielte mit. Es hĂ€tte nicht schöner sein können. Vielen Dank!
We celebrated our wedding here over 5 days with 27 family and friends and we had the most amazing experience. The place is spectacular! It is more beautiful than the pictures can show. Plenty of space for a large group that we never felt on top of each other. Area has many places to explore but you may also not want to leave the beautiful villa! The owners were incredible and celebrated with us throughout the weekend as well. The food cooked by the owners and their team was also amazing. Planning process was very smooth and easy. Definitely book this!!
We were looking for a place in Italy that worked for a large extended family, and this worked out great for us. The lodging has wonderful shared spaces, lovely grounds, and expansive views of the surrounding countryside and mountains. The hosts were responsive, and helpful, and very friendly. We booked two meals through the catering option, and these were highlights of the trip, with everyone talking about how great the food was and how fun to have it served in such a great place.
I was the one who organized this, and it was the first time we'd ever taken this kind of international trip together. Although the web site looked great, I was still a little nervous that it would work for people in such a large, diverse group of family, but I can say without hesitation that it exceeded our expectations. We'll be talking for years about the wonderful memories we made here.
We were 24 friends celebrating life! We fell in love with the place and the hosts! Amedeo & Rosanna are the best! They were always available for anything we needed which is was not too much to be honest. They also have amazingly friendly staff to help.
We had lots of fun, enjoyed the pool and hanging out. The property is a lot bigger than expected and feels so peaceful. Also, it is located within a 10 minute drive to a beautiful little town that has everything you need, from supermarkets to great bars and restaurants. The town also has a train station that can connect you to bigger cities such as Florence, Pisa, Lucca, Cinque Terre, etc.
This was a vacation we will not forget and I recommend this place to everybody!
Wonderful time in very relaxed setting. Great that everyone had their own space. Loved the informality of the place. Celebrated sisters 70th in style. Owners very friendly and available but not intrusive. Good time had by all.
We had our wedding here and it was everything we dreamed of and more! The location was even more amazing than the photos. By far the most beautiful place we've ever been.
The villa itself was large enough to comfortably fit all of our guests (24 adults and two infants). The rooms themselves were huge. There was no shortage of space here!
The wedding day went smoothly thanks to the help of the villa owners and our wedding planner, Marie. They were there the whole day and made sure everything was sorted with the florists, cocktail hour, dinner, etc. They were incredible!
We can't say enough good things about the villa, location and hosts. All of our guests left saying it was the most amazing experience/weekend of their lives and we agree!
