Villa Benedetta is located in Garfagnana, a geographic region of Tuscany very ancient and rich in traditions. It was erected in 1636 and hosted the Este nobles, in particular the Duke of Modena Francesco IV D Este who stayed there to hunt. The apartments have been created inside the very suggestive villa whose loggia, paved in stone, immediately transports the visitor into an ancient atmosphere. The location of the building dominates the valley. Exposed to the south / east, it enjoys sunlight for most of the day. The front garden, and the splendid swimming pool with sun loungers and deck chairs, allow you to rest in full relaxation. While, the ancient stone source with its spring water will help to brighten your stay. The environment is also particularly suitable for children. Relevant to the villa is the ancient family oratory which, on request, can be visited like other parts of the building. The "Casa Benedetta" apartment consists of a double bedroom, a bedroom with two single wrought iron beds, a private bathroom, a kitchen and a lounge with a two-seat sofa bed with direct access to the veranda.
We stayed in one of Paoloâs apartments for two weeks. The apartment was nice and clean. The pool area is great. There is an amazing view from the house which is nicely located in a small village. There are plenty of things to see and do in the area. Paolo, the host is very kind and we had the opportunity to taste his amazing homemade pizza.we hope to be back soon
We had the most amazing stay at Villa Benedetta with our kids. The historic charming villa just next to the pool overlooking the whole Valley. Everything is clean and looked after with respect to the history of the house. We drank the cleanist water from the mountains that ran through the villa during our stay so we didnt have to bring heavy bottles from the supermarket. You get your privacy and the feeling of being Home away from Home. All this due to our amazing host Paolo, who has the most friendly welcoming attitude towards his guests. And he makes the best pizza Margarita we all agreed :-) Paolo really would like for you as a guest to enjoy your stay. The close city Castelnuovo di Gafagnana is also a very Nice small village with a tranquill atmosphere. Thank you for having us. :-)
Ciao fra Noam, Samuel, Michael & Camilla (and also Thor and Julie off course who stayed 3 nights with us :-))
Wir waren leider nur 2 NĂ€chte, aber wir kommen wieder.
Der Pool ist der Hammer ....
Sauber sehr gepflegt.
Wir wurden sehr herzig empfangen und fĂŒhlten uns rund um wohl. Es war alles sehr sauber, Kompliment an Paolo der sehr hilfsbereit, zuvorkommend und gastfreundlich ist. Danke fĂŒr den schönen (leider sehr kurzen) Aufenthalte.
Bis zum nÀchsten mal
Extraordinary stay at Paolo's villa - very accommodating and extremely helpful, beautiful apartment and pool area, all very clean and inviting. Paolo made pizza for us the last night - We will be back for sure!
We stayed for a week in the apartment Benedetta at the back of the mansion which was built I believe 3 centuries ago. The mansion is being beautifully restored by Paolo the landlord. He is a very friendly, warm and funny person. We laughed a lot. He offered us real homemade pizza's on our first night because we arrived rather late. Later in the week he ' officially' cooked us a real Tuscan dinner which was really great. We enjoyed the pool and loved the view from the terrace where we used to have our breakfast. I wouldn't be surprised if many more will enjoy this place.
Fantastisk autentisk feriebolig omgivet at smukke bjerge og beliggende i skĂžn lille landsby.
Hvis man Ăžnsker fred og ro i smukke omgivelser er dette stedet. Vores bĂžrn elskede poolen og free internet gjorde at de ikke kedede sig. Lejligheden var ren, stor og rummelig med et veludstyret kĂžkken. Temperaturen i huset var fantastisk sval og specielt om natten hvor der absolut ikke var brug for aircondition.
VĂŠrten var meget venlig og hjĂŠlpsom.
Stedet kan ikke anbefales for gangbesvĂŠrede ellers kan jeg kun give stedet mine varmeste anbefalinger.
Insieme a due amiche ho trascorso l'intero mese di agosto in uno degli appartameni della villa, arredato in stile, spazioso, molto molto confortevole. La piscina, collocata al fianco della villa, da cui si gode un panorama stupendo ,e' una delizia..Teli e biancheria della casa, pulitissimi, sono forniti da Paolo, il proprietario, sempre gentile e disponibile...Consiglio vivamente Villa Benedetta. Noi ci siamo trovate benissimo..Da ripetere!
"Geweldige plek voor rustzoekers (met kinderen) die niet van (massa)toerisme houden. Een piepklein dorpje met mini supermarkt, 6 km verderop een leuke en grote plaats met alle voorzieningen (ook restaurants, winkels e.d.)
Prachtige omgeving, heerlijk rustig, magnifiek uitzicht, heerlijk zwembad, een fijne, grote tuin (met eigen drinkwaterbron!)waar ook kinderen zich heerlijk kunnen vermaken. De eigenaar is een enorm enthousiaste man die alles zal doen om het zijn gasten naar de zin te maken.
Een hele vriendelijke, aardige, leuke en gezellige man. Spreekt steeds beter Engels.
Wij gaan zeker nog een keer terug.
Een aboslute aanrader!!"
