Excellent, quiet rural retreat. Easy access to tourist areas and quiet beaches.
Posted Oct. 7, 2019 on HomeAwayWe had a wonderful week in Bagnone. The house is exactly as photos, very clean and comfortable, best weeks sleep we have had in years. The stairs in the house and garden are quite steep and of uneven heights so not for young or old or limited mobility. The owners left very comprehensive information manuals. We would highly recommend the restaurant across the road, don't be put off by its lack of kerb appeal, the restaurant is spotlessly clean and the staff very friendly, the food was amazing and the bill small, we ate there 4 nights. I would highly recommend this house. The owner was extremely helpful and available when we needed her. Definate 5 star

Fresh country air + a bit of exercise + good food and wine on the doorstep + comfortable beds = great relaxation! We're always ready to help and we hope to welcome you back some day.

Our stay in Bagnone
Posted Oct. 3, 2019 on HomeAwayWe really loved the villa and the area, got a real feel for rural Italy.
The villa was very well equipped and we enjoyed the restaurant across the square.
Dogs and other animals were a little noisy at night.

We're glad you enjoyed all the charms of rural Italy, cowbells and all! The farm-to-table restaurant is one of our favourites too; there's nothing like dinner and wine with zero food miles. Thank you for taking great care of the villa!

Quiet and restful with lots of charm
Posted Aug. 2, 2019 on HomeAwayWe had a very good time enjoying the grandeur of the location and your lovely home. Though we loved the house which was well equipped and very spacious and comfortable we appreciated living on the pool and outdoor kitchen levels too from breakfast onwards. I know it sounds weird but your house book was one of the most excellent things about the house - so much helpful information for journeys out and about and how things work and what foods are local including vast selection of recipe books etc. We spent most of Sunday morning our first morning studying intently. We Loved the pool the swallows who dart in perhaps to cool off we couldn’t tell but they were very daring and skilled flyers.
What an amazing layout with the changing rooms and downstairs kitchen and loo. We sat outside a lot of the time and made sure we remembered to close the windows and shutters late morning which kept the house nice and cool.
We were enchanted by the sounds of the bells from around the mountain side including the cow bells though we felt very sorry for the cows who must have been deafened.
We also loved the dvd collection which was vast and we particularly enjoyed Scorsese ‘s review of Italian films and film makers.
The selection of reading was also very rewarding.
Thank you once again for sharing your home

Wonderful retreat in Lunigiana
Posted Aug. 27, 2018 on HomeAwayWe stayed here with family of six (all adults) in second week of August. Had a great time and enjoyed the amenities, surroundings and views from the "Palaz". The owners were very helpful and provide ample instructions as well as suggestions in their guides.
We loved the pool area and were lucky to use some of the fresh tomatoes growing om premises. The 8PM ceremony of the adjoining church every night were special. We loved eating at the "old farm" Vecchio Podere, across the street.

So pleased you had a great time. Thank you for taking such good care of our Italian home. 'Ave Maria' on the church bells each evening is a lovely way to know it's dinner time! Many guests tell us that they, like you, enjoyed the farm restaurant just across the square, and also having fresh produce from our garden.

A wonderful paradise at a tiny villagesquare
Posted Jul. 23, 2023 on HomeAwayWe had a wonderful week in Al Palaz. Lunigiana is a nice relaxed area, different from the rest of Tuscany. You won't find many freco's, but also little turists. What you will find is beautiful nature and real Italian atmosphere, with nice villages - especially Bagnone and the hammock of Mochigiana.
In and aroud the house you've to walk many steps, but it's worth. At the second floor we had a large sittingroom overlooking the valley and two spacious bedrooms with both a badroom. On the first floor we had a nice, well equiped diningroom and kitchen with a terrace overlooking the villagesquare with the church and the lovely restaurant of the neighbours.
Going down we entered a large garden, where we found our own strawberries, vegetables, basel and rosemary. Further goind down we foud our large lunch-terrace and one step further down a field in the shadow of some trees and a nice refreshing swimmingpool - with swallows dipping in when it's hot and we were out...
Really something special!

Ländliches Italien at its best
Posted Jul. 4, 2022 on HomeAwayWir haben im Juni 2 sehr schöne Wochen in diesem wunderschönen Haus verbracht und fanden, was wir suchten: Ruhe, einen weiten Blick über hügelige Wälder, Bumenduft und Vogelgesang und die Annehmlichkeiten eines privaten Pools.
Alles ist für einen erholsamen Urlaub vorbereitet und ausgelegt. Der Garten, die Außenküche, ... ein Traum.

Haus mit Charme mit tollem Pool
Posted Aug. 14, 2021 on HomeAwayDas Haus ist rustikal, bietet aber alles, was man braucht und ist sehr sauber. Die meiste Zeit haben wir am tollen Pool und in der Outdoorküche verbracht. Da am Pool eine Toilette und eine Dusche sowie ein Kühlschrank ist, kann man den ganzen Tag dort genießen. Die Aussicht ist wirklich phänomenal und man kann sehr gut vom Alltag abschalten. Wir haben die Woche sehr genossen.

Très déçus par cette location
Posted Aug. 21, 2019 on HomeAwayNous sommes très habitués à louer en France ou à l'étranger et sommes vraiment attentifs à la précision des annonces : il y a de nombreuses imprécisions dans celle de Bagnone qu’il faut soulever :
- La maison est une succession d'étages dont certaines pièces sont totalement aveugles (le studio « La Cantina » est troglodyte et sent le renfermé, le séjour du premier étage n’a pas de fenêtre...
- le jardin est séparé de la maison par une ruelle commune avec d’autres logements : la voisine avait un chien qui nous aboyait dessus à chaque passage...comme elle !!
- lors des déjeuners dans le jardin, pour accéder à la cuisine la plus logique, il faut franchir l'équivalent de 4 étages de marches !!! La cuisine d’été existe mais elle est située très bas et avec un matériel rudimentaire donc inutilisable. Celle du studio « La Cantina » est en mezzanine et totalement aveugle ! Bref, il ne faut pas oublier le sel...
- Si vous aimez les cloches allez-y : celles des vaches à 10 mètres de la piscine...celles de l’église, à 1 mètre de la maison, celles des églises environnantes, ça sonne tout le temps !!!
- les Cinque Terre sont magnifiques, mais très loin ! (1:30 de voiture pour prendre le bateau à la Spezia ou Porto Venere)
- La piscine est tres belle, de grande taille, bien entretenue. . En revanche elle est située à 10 mètres au-dessus d’un champ avec des clôtures en barbelés : soyez habiles avec la balle si vous jouez avec vos enfants sinon c’est l’aventure (dangereuse !...)
- dans les éléments positifs, les propriétaires ont un joli potager dont ils nous ont fait profiter : courgettes, tomates et basilic ! Sympa !

Lovely stay at Al Palazz
Posted Aug. 20, 2019 on HomeAwayWe had a lovely week at Al Palazz. Especially loved the well organised and well equiped house. The best we have ever rented. It felt like coming at home. We also enjoyed the well documented tips for trying Italian food, restaurants and suggestions for trips in the surroundings.
The villa and swimming pool are built on a hill and so divided over several terraces. We got used to that soon and enjoyed the view from the swimming pool a lot.
The Lunigiana region is fortunately not overcrowded with tourists and we enjoyed discovering the very Italian atmosphere especially at the local restaurants. Had some great diners at La Lina, in Bagnone!
