About this property

detached Village House near historic spa town,own pool, WiFi, 40 mins from beach

Four storey late 19th century village stone house with own swimming pool over, c.400 sq.m, five double bedrooms, two bathrooms 3 x /wc. Fully restored with white-washed walls, original terracotta floors and exposed chestnut beams. Large courtyards and full width new decking to lounge around the pool with incredible views. Lots of space for outdoor eating and chilling. Straight out the top gate for hillside paths leading to ancient villages. Ideal for mountain biking and hiking, or just a leisurely stroll. Well stocked Village shop just five minutes up the path.
Thick stone walls mean it’s cool in the height of summer. The village is a typical Italian hillside community, mostly quiet, but passing goatherds, farming as well as the usual hubbub of Italian village life. It’s also a very safe and welcoming environment and our guests don’t feel they have to be too precious, (especially good if you have younger kids). After nightfall the village is totally silent, devoid of light pollution so ideal for star-gazing and chasing fire-flies.
Area has loads of things to do: canoeing; white-water rafting; horse-riding; the Beach; zip-wires; factory-outlet shopping; wine-tours and tastings; beautiful historic towns like Lucca, Barga, Pisa, Florence, Montecarlo, Forti di Marmi, etc.

Friends and Family Weeklong Stay

We had an amazing time in Peter's place mostly enjoying the outdoor spaces and doing short walks to the grocery store nearby. The location is great for day trips to Pisa, Lucca and Viareggio. Only things we'd change are the cleanliness which was mostly okay, but the place could use a deep clean, and 2-3 mattresses should be replaced for better comfort.

Family and Friends in Tuscany

From the initial contact through to the conclusion of our holiday, Peter was an excellent host. We celebrated a week in the Tuscan Mountains with friends and family from around the world and the property more than met our expectations. A well stocked kitchen, airy bedrooms and loads of space to relax , the Villa was ideal for our get together. Upon Peter’s recommendation we hired Roy and Shirkey from the village B&B to prepare a superb al fresco lunch. Magnificent food and wine were a plenty!! The pool provided a great addition for all ages as our party ranged from teenagers to grandparents. If it is the real Italy you want then this is the place. Thank you.

The most authentic place we have ever been!

We had a wonderful holiday in Peter and Suzy's wonderful, authentic village house. It was very clear that it was a private home that we were visiting. Thank you 1000 for sharing this paradise with us. There were 10 of us and there was plenty of room for all of us in the house and on the house's terraces. Huge kitchen with all imaginable equipment. Lots of towels and bed linen and fine parasols on the terraces. The house is a real old village house and the construction is beautiful to admire. The ceilings are amazing! Peter was quick to answer questions and help. There had been a large storm in the area shortly before our arrival, leaving the entire town without internet. However, it came occasionally during the 14 days we stayed in the house. In fact, we all enjoyed being free from screens and there was plenty to experience. The evenings were spent playing guitar on the terrace, playing cards and playing in the pool. There are lots of fantastic walking routes between the villages and a lovely little grocery store 300 meters up the path behind the pool area. The place is not for the disabled or people who do not enjoy peace, quiet and an authentic, beautiful Tuscan mountain village. It's the true kind of luxury vacation that you won't want to leave. We will definitely be back!

Needs more effort. Not great for small children.

Sorry to say we felt let down by this Vrbo.The property could really do with a refurbishment. Only the top floor bathroom is in good condition. Most doors are sticky or don't close properly. The kitchen is dated and full of miscellaneous half-broken pans and pots, basic equipment only, makes it difficult to cook for large groups. Living room and kitchen were definitely not as nice as shown in the pictures. Pool was still closed, as communicated by the host, but other outdoor areas were also oversold by the pictures. We were staying with two toddlers and the house was challenging due to many stairs, lots of hazards, including e.g. toy beads littered under the sofa. Wouldn't recommend to stay here with small children.The area however is great, we loved the small quiet hamlet, there is a small playground nearby that the kids enjoyed, and the village store is easily reachable on foot in less than 5 minutes. Great hikes and activities nearby! Be aware that it does take quite a while to drive up from Bagni di Lucca, so if you want to do things in the wider area you will spend quite a bit on that narrow, sloping road up the mountain.Unfortunately our host didn't give us any concrete recommendations even after specifically enquiring about it. There is also no guest book with information about the house or the area. Given the amount of money spent on thsi stay we had expected a higher standard.

Wir hatten eine wirklich schöne Zeit!!!

...die Anreise war spannend, da uns das Navi erst einmal RECHTS des Dorfes hinaufschickte anstatt vom großen Parkplatz aus LINKS. Das alte Steinhaus roch am Anfang sehr muffig, wir konnten es aber gut auslüften. Peter war sehr angagiert, antwortete schnell und war ein toller Gastgeber!!! Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit!!!

Tolle Urlaubswoche mit der ganzen Familie

Etwas abgelegen in einem kleinen „Dorf“ oberhalb von Bagni di Luca haben wir als Patchwork Family eine schöne Woche verbracht. Das Haus hat einen schönen Pool und ein paar einfach aber nett eingerichtete Zimmer. Highlight ist sicherlich die große Küche und die große Terrasse

La dolce vita in Gombereto

Wir wurden mit frischen Blumen nach kurvenreicher Anfahrt empfangen. Das Haus besteht aus 3 Etagen und Keller. Es ist alles vorhanden, die Küche ist sehr gut ausgestattet und geräumig, ideal für eine Großfamilie:). Der Pool ist ausreichend groß und unverzichtbar gewesen während einer Hitzewelle. Das Haus liegt in den Bergen, nachts hört man Eulen und andere Waldtiere. Die Zimmer sind schön eingerichtet, noch schöner als auf den Fotos. Im Innenhof hängt eine Lichterkette, sodass man den Abend mit einem Drink aus der hauseigenen Bar ausklingen lassen konnte. Morgens wurde man pünktlich zum Sonnenaufgang vom Hahn „geweckt“. Auch gibt es in der Nachbarschaft viele bellfreudige Hunde. Vielleicht könnten Moskitonetze und Ventilatoren noch eine kleine Anregung sein. Der Kontakt zu Peter war sehr nett und stets prompt, ebenso zum Housekeeper und Poolwart. Das WLAN war für Italien und die Berge recht stabil. Wir hatten eine schöne Zeit in der Toskana. Vielen Dank, Maike See you in italy 🇮🇹!

Ein perfekter Urlaub in den Bergen der Toskana

Mit 3 Familien haben wir einen erlebnisreichen Urlaub in der Toskana erleben dürfen. Wer das Abeits mag, ist hier genau richtig. Vom Haus aus haben wir viele Wanderungen gemacht, der Supermarkt 5min vom Haus war perfekt um jeden morgen ein frischen Brot zu kaufen. Stätte wie Lucca, Florenz und Pisa sowie freien Stränden waren alle "nur" ca. 1 Std. entfernt. Perfekt um viel zu sehen. Wer das Rennradfahren oder Montainbiken liebt, ist hier richtig. Das Haus war typisch italienisch - im toskanischen Baustil. Besser ging es nur echt. Platz genug für 9 Personen. Der Pool mit der tollen Aussicht war nach einer Städtetour perfekt. Alles im.allen war es ein perfekter Urlaub in der Toskana! So muss es sein!

Tranquil, beautiful & very comfortable.

The house provided us with the perfect base for our family holiday in Tuscany. It is incredibly well equipped, especially the kitchen, so we thoroughly enjoyed living there for a week with our children & 2 small grandchildren. The surrounding area is incredibly beautiful & we enjoyed lovely walks through the blossoming woods behind the house. The advice provided by the owner Peter before our holiday was tremendously useful & his recommendation to enjoy a meal made by a local chef was much appreciated. Last, but not least, the cd collection at the house is brilliant - hours of enjoyment.

Tuscan Family Holiday

11 of us ranging in age from 5 to 65 had the most fabulous holiday in this beautiful, relaxing place. The villa is truly rustic with a warm and comfortable feel to it, so well equipped and part of a lovely local community in the Tuscan hills. Days were spent relaxing round the pool, walking through the woods or driving into Bagni for a mooch about the local shops and a spot of lunch. Evenings were a feast of local goods cooked on the bbq and accompanied by glorious wine and late night swims or card games. A birthday was celebrated in style at one of the local restaurants one evening, day trips by train to Pisa and Lucca were easy even with the youngest traveller. Weather was great, odd thunder storms in the afternoons that only lasted an hour or so, then back to the sun. We were so sad to leave this wonderful place, think there will be a return visit in a few years time......

Beautiful rustic house surrounded by impressive nature – very relaxing

Peter is a very open and supportive host. He solved every problem we had immediately. Thank you Peter. We had a wonderful relaxing and adventurous stay at Peter's house. The whole village and Peter's house has a lot of charme. You can feel all the history. And the nature around is very impressive. We spent a lot of time at the house, the woods, and the places around because there is a lot to discover. We also enjoyed the fresh breeze coming from the woods. Especially for the kids and our dog it was enough to enjoy:) We can also recommend the markets with fresh food from the region for a good price. Better than the supermarkets! The house is perfect for people who enjoy a rustic lifestyle and are happy to wake up with the rooster.

Fabulous house in fantastic location

Booked this as a family of seven plus small child and we just loved it.Wanted to be a part of true Italian style village life up in the mountains(despite the regular trips up and down the mountainside to town on the edge of my seat!)Nothing to disappoint here,even though the weather turned for us!We sat out every night late into the evening and even had a dip or two in the pool which was a trifle fresh owing to the cooler weather!Loved preparing the evening dinner in the spacious fully equipped kitchen,somehow not a chore there.As soon as we hit uk we were already missing the house, the village and Tuscany!Got to go back next year.

Sous le charme de la Toscane

Nous avons séjourné dans cette maison 2 semaines. C'est une très belle maison pleine de charme sItuée sur les hauteurs de Bagni di Lucca. Les extérieurs sont bien aménagés, nous avons apprécié la grande cour et la piscine. La décoration intérieure est typique et réalisée avec beaucoup de goût. Nous avons découvert la région avec émerveillement, nous avons couplé sur 2 jours les visites de San Gimignano, Sienne et la vallée du Chianti. Idem pour les Cinque Terre que nous avons couplées avec la visite de Pise et nous avons passé la nuit à Sarzana. Nous n'avons pas rencontré le propriétaire Peter mais nous avons échangé avec lui par mail et il a fait preuve de gentillesse et de bienveillance. Nous garderons de très bons souvenirs de ces vacances toscanes.

We had a very pleasant stay in Peter's house. This is a very charming house surrounded by charming villages. Lucca is a city that we love and is not too far from Gomberetto.

Great

We had a fabulous holiday here. Absolutely beautiful grounds and views. A rustic old house, but has everything you need. This house is a great base to go and explore from, set about 500meters above sea level in the mountains. The village is perfect and a great small store that sells all the essentials. 20mins down the mountain Is lovely Bagni di Lucca with larger supermarkets. The pool was a nice size not huge but perfect for the 6 of us. A great BBQ area and hammock in the shade. The patio area outside the kitchen is newly done and was wonderful to sit out there for every meal, most nights we sat out and played games in candle light. A few doors away is s great English couple called Shirley and Roy who run a B&B. If you have any questions they can help. Shirley also does massages, facials etc they a good! Roy is a brilliant chef for a price per person £25-30 he will do a 2 course meal for your party. We did it and the food was outstanding it's a must we loved it.

Home away from home

The villa was a really characterful but comfortable place to stay, with everything you need for an affordable but luxurious self-catering break. The furnishings were appropriately rustic whilst still being a nice place to relax and lying in the hammock in the dappled shade you feel a lot further away from civilisation than you really are. Bagni di Lucca has plenty to offer for a short drive down the mountain (and I understand there's a bus service as well), and it makes a great hub to explore Tuscany. Alternatively you can just hole yourself up on top of a mountain with a stack of ice lollies and sangria with a good (or not so good) book by the pool, though don't be surprised if you get distracted by the view, which is beauuuutiful. The house also has lots of books, CDs and DVDs for those days when you really don't feel like moving :) The kitchen and dining space is huge which makes for a really sociable cooking experience as well. I can't recommend this villa more highly - a really wonderful holiday!

About the host

Hosted by peter antenen

Host profile image
Professional couple with two grown up daughters and faithful hound, based just outside London in the UK. Globally well-travelled, especially across Europe, been holidaying (and working) in Italy for three decades. The owners use the house year-round outside guest rental periods. Eldest daughter held her wedding reception over two days at the house.

Why they chose this property

We spent ten years looking all over Italy and eventually found and fell in love with this beautiful, unspoilt corner of Tuscany. Hot, but not too hot, real scenery, lovely people, loads to see and do, great little hilltop towns, high, interesting and green countryside, skiing nearby….
Lots of Content and a variety of things to do for all the family and mixed groups:
1.Long al fresco lunches in the courtyard
2.Swimming in the pool then sunbathing all day on the decking
3.The evening passagiata through the village squares and lanes (especially if it’s just rained! – very ‘Name of the Rose’)
4.A long day out in Firenze, with shopping at the Barberino outlet mall.
5.The Sunday antiques market in Lucca.
6.Touring through the nearby Garfagnana valley.
7.Barga for dinner, followed by passagiata and gelati!

What makes this property unique

Some more of our favourite things...
8.A beach day at Viareggio, with a seafood lunch in a beach cafe.
9.Going to Lucca out of season for some retail therapy and dinner.
10.Skiing at Abetone, just for the day or stopping over in a friendly family hotel with a gourmet dinner
11.Long day out in the Cinque Terre, swimming, sunbathing and lunching: our favourite fishing village is Vernazza.
12.August Festival in Gombereto – La Festa Medievale: flag-throwers, food stalls, processions and fireworks. Mad!
13. Touring Il Strada del Vino – the Lucchese hills wine route –sampling Montecarlo whites and reds and sumptuous olive oils
14.Morning and evening walks up to the shop, then back round the roads, enjoying the views; about 30 minutes, perfect before dinner!
15.Chillin' with a cold one on the deck watching the sun set over the hills..
