About this property

Farm house (Sleeps 10, 5 Bedrooms)

Upstairs the 4 bedrooms each have 2 windows, high ceilings with chestnut beams and are furnished with antiques.
Two rooms have double beds and the other two twin rooms can make giant doubles.
There are two bathrooms with showers, WC and basin; one with a bidet.
A cot, high chair and a stair gate are available.
All linen, towels and pool towels are provided.
Downstairs there is a twin/double room with view over the terrace to the east.
The bathroom with shower, WC and basin also houses the washing machine.
There is a comfortable sitting room with log burner, DVD and Ipod dock, masses of books, cards and games. The large dining kitchen has a 5 hob gas stove and oven, dishwasher, 2 fridge/freezers and plenty glasses and crockery. Plastic glasses for the pool are supplied.
The covered kitchen terrace has a table to seat 12, a huge BBQ and the old bread oven.
To the front of the house is a wisteria covered terrace with rustic table seating up to 16 and plenty of herbs to pick.


Col di Lavacchio offers beautiful comfort in its lovingly restored traditional Garfagnana farmhouse which includes 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Overlooking the mountains and secluded in a rocky alcove fringed with lavender is the stunning 12m pool with wooden loungers.

Relax in a hammock with a good book from the extensive library, have a game of table tennis or lawn boules, wander through the many terraces and chestnut groves or contemplate a little peace on the hill top yoga deck. Should your passion be cooking, the kitchen is well equipped and there is seasonal organic vegetables available on site.
The house is well appointed with a comfortable sitting room, wisteria-covered dining terraces, a huge BBQ and a beautiful ancient pizza oven. There are 4 elegant bedrooms and 2 bathrooms on the 1st floor with an additional bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor..
Local shops and restaurants are minutes away but should you wish to be delighted there is a resident chef who can prepare a candlelit dinner on the terrace especially for you. Alternatively, she can offer a riot of colour and flavour in a family pizza night.
The owners, Ailsa and Jamie Reynolds live up the hill and are happy to offer advice - where to shop, what to see, book restaurants and galleries and generally help you have a memorable holiday whilst respecting your privacy. A shopping service is available if you want to arrive at the house to find your fridge packed with local goodies.
Cooking classes and guided walks are available on request.
Col di Lavacchio truly is the perfect place to explore the magic of this timeless slice of Tuscany.

Amazing Stay
We had the most wonderful time and we can highly recommend this wonderful place, location and hosts. The countryside is beautiful and the pool an oases of freedom. The house is well equipped with all you need and you feel right away welcome and at home. Everything was a delight and so uncomplicated. The hosts are the nicest hosts we ever had. Ailsa and Jamie do everything imaginable for an amazing stay. AND they can cook amazing food. AND you get fresh organic produce which they plant on their land. It was all so nice we decided to just stay local. The place is so safe even for the smallest toddlers. The pool is gated and the land fenced. Until soon.

Italien Urlaub
Wir waren Mitte September mit einer Gruppe von 5 Personen in dem Ferienhaus. Die Unterkunft befindet sich in idilischer Lage in einem weitläufigen Gelände in den Bergen. Die Aussicht ist fabelhaft und die Anlage ist sehr schön. Sie wird von den Besitzer selbst bewirtschaftet. Bei diesen ist es möglich einen Pizza Abend zu buchen, welcher absolut zu empfehlen ist. Die Pizzen sind sehr lecker und außergewöhnlich. Die Zufahrt zum Haus ist leider etwas schmal, mit einem breiteren Auto ist diese nicht sehr angenehm zu fahren. Etwas schade war, dass wir uns den Pool mit 2 weiteren Gästen teilen mussten, obwohl in der Beschreibung der Unterkunft ein Privat Pool genannt wird. Ein Insektenspray ist absolut zu empfehlen, da am Pool den ganzen Tag viele Mücken da sind. Wir hatten einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt und können diese Unterkunft auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen.

Great holidays on the Tuscan countryside
We had wonderful 10 days at Lavacchio. We were a group of 12 friends and booked the main house and the apartment. A lot of space for everybody, a great pool area, nice terrace for outdoor breakfasts and dinners, and cute cats to cuddle! We had really nice pizza evenings with the very friendly landlords Ailsa and Jamie! The pittoresque city of Barga is very close and worth a visit, Lucca is beautiful as well. Car is needed for shopping etc. Thank you Ailsa and Jamie for the wonderful stay!

About the host

Hosted by Ailsa and Jamie

Host profile image
Having owned and run a small hotel in Scotland where we were trying to grow our own vegetables, we decided to try a larger, more challenging project. A 26 acre farm in the hills of northern Tuscany has given us the opportunity to raise much of our own meat, grow nearly all of our own fruit and vegetables and invest in the future with young olive trees and grapes. Our experience in the hospitality industry has meant that we set out with a vision to offer holidaymakers the sort of environment which we would want on our own vacation.

Why they chose this property

Lavacchio is only 80km from Pisa airport with an excellent train connection to our local station at Barga-Gallicano. Just an hour from Pisa and we are set in a beautiful mountain environment where we can indulge our interest in walking and skiing. By avoiding the intense summer heat of the plains we can enjoy the summer fully, sleeping comfortably without the need for air conditioning. The chestnut and beech clad hills are a riot of colour in the Autumn and the wild flower meadows of the spring have to be seen to be believed. Seasons are well defined here, as much by the food on offer as by the climate: local dishes are very much the norm and there is immense pride in the fabulous ingredients. This is Italy in the raw - timeless and slow and welcoming.

What makes this property unique

Perched above the Serchio valley and below the sugar loaf peak of the Pania del Croce, Lavacchio has a sensational 180 degree view which constantly changes. With a mixture of flat land and chestnut woodland we offer space and privacy: we are at the end of a narrow track and strung out along a ridge.
With our own vegetables and fowl, countless fruit and nut trees we can offer our guests some fabulous fresh produce. With a resident chef available to prepare anything from a home made pizza to a four course extravaganza you can enjoy a gourmet experience without leaving the property. Alternatively, you can be left in peace to do your own thing.
Should you want to venture further afield, we can offer advice and help to book restaurants, art galleries or train tickets or to take you trekking.
