A fantastic villa with all the amenities you could need for your stay and great follow-up from Bill and Lynn. The garden area is perfect for a stay at the pool during the day and for evenings by the outdoor BBQ area for dinner.

The outside kitchen with the huge parasol was more than pleasant just like the pool, the garden, the jacuzzi and the fireplace . There was enough space to play soccer, ping pong you name it!

We had a wonderful week. Lynn and Bill have a very spacious and comfortable home and have done very well to provide for their guests. The guest book is full of helpful information and recommendations for exploring the surrounding area. The pool and outdoor spaces are fantastic and we enjoyed making our own pizzas in the oven or just relaxing around the fire in the evenings. We would highly recommend this property.

Lovely villa with a fantastic outside area!
We had a very relaxing stay in Villa Ariola. We made full use of the pool, hot tub and outside kitchen. The pizza oven was amazing! Once we got used to the very steep and windy road up to the property, we were fine. Lynn and Bill were very helpful - the bike hire they arranged for me was brilliant. Parma, Pisa, La Spezia and the shopping outlet at Brugnato are all worth a visit. Thanks!

A beautiful villa in a fantastic location, great outdoor area and everything you need is here.
We have just had two fantastic weeks here, its great to be able to visit some amazing places easily, such as Pisa, Parma and the coast, as well as all the interesting hill top towns, where you can sit and people watch over a coffee, but its even better getting back to the house to make use of the excellent outdoor space, a cooling swim in the pool followed by home made pizza made in the outdoor pizza oven, to then sit by the fire and watch for the wild boar, Lynn was so helpful before and during our stay, making us feel right at home. Thank you for a great holiday and if we ever come back to this area of Italy we will certainly be in touch.

Home from home in the beautiful Italian countryside
We had the most wonderful stay at Bill at Lynn’s beautiful home. We were made to feel incredibly welcome, like we were part of the family, from the first communication to the moment we left. They couldn’t have been more helpful or accommodating if they tried - from finding vegan cake shops in Italy (no easy feat) to making dinner reservations - nothing was ever too much trouble.
The house and garden are pristine. The kitchen and outdoor kitchen fully stocked and the bed linen was beautifully soft and smelt incredible. We loved the pool, making outdoor pizzas and dinners on the terrace. We couldn’t recommend this enough and we would love to visit again.

My husband and I stayed at the property with our two children and my parents in July. Bill and Lynn were wonderful hosts, and the house was perfect for us with lovely rooms, cool living room, large kitchen and fabulous outdoor space. Inside it has absolutely everything you could need and more. We had planned some day trips and meals out, but apart from a few mornings to local villages we didn't really leave! It was so quiet and peaceful and we even managed to see the wild boar. Thank you Bill and Lynn, you were so accommodating and we hope to visit again in the future.

Fantastic experience!
Lynn and Bill, our hosts, exceeded all our expectations. They were proactive, helpful, and extremely tuned to our needs. They make us feel at home.
The house is beautiful. It’s secluded and peaceful, which is not trivial. Because it’s about 500 meters above see level, the temperature there is much nicer than most of Italy during the summer months.
The house is well-equipped and can easily accommodate large groups.
The area is beautiful, with many small villages to explore.
Highly recommended!

Great place for a group
This place is a great summerhouse for a group of people. With 3 bedrooms we where 6 people there easily.
The pool is nice and clean. And works perfectly to cool down in the day, and is slightly hot in the evening.
The hot tub is nice and hot, and easliy fits three adults.
The hosts/owners are nice, and easy to contact. They have made a guide for anything in the house, and suggestions for the local area.
Also recommends to take the walk down to the waterfall, although the return trip is up 260m in height

We had the pleasure of staying at this fantastic villa a few years ago, and I mustadmit that we were a bit worried it wouldn’t live up to our cherished memories.However, I’m thrilled to say that we were not disappointed at all!The villa was spotless and beautifully presented, just as we remembered. Everydetail was thoughtfully curated, making it feel both luxurious and welcoming.One of our favourite features was the outdoor kitchen—it was such a joy to cookand dine al fresco while soaking in the stunning surroundings.And let me tell you about the bird song! We’ve never experienced anything likeit. Bill, explained that it’s the symphony of song performed by birds looking forlove, and it’s the same every spring. For us city dwellers, it was simplyunbelievable. It added a magical touch to our stay, making our mornings evenmore special.Overall, Villa Ariola exceeded our expectations and rekindled our love for theplace. We can’t wait to return and create more beautiful memories! Highlyrecommend

Perfect location for a retreat
The villa was a beautiful retreat in a hamlet at the top of a hill surrounded by forest. The villa was well looked after and very clean attention to detail on amenities was very good everything was provided a welcome basket to tide you over for a couple of days till you went shopping. The owners Lynn and Bill were very helpful and informative nothing was too much trouble for them, if you needed help with places to visit or restaurants they could help and book them for you. The local village had all the amenities you needed. Any problems Bill and Lynn would be there to sort for you. If the day was a bit cool you could always use the hot tub instead of the pool. Amazing villa.

The best holiday ever!!
The villa is situated in a small Tuscan village not too far from the stunning area of the Cinque Terre. Pisa and Florence are also just a stone throw away but believe it, once you get to the villa you'll feel in Heaven and won't want to go anywhere else. The house is spacious but cosy, the open space kitchen dining area is great if you like to cook and entertain family and friends. The outside area is probably the best part of the property. the outdoor oven/barbecue is massive and very well equipped, we cooked fab barbecues and made our own pizza. The kids really enjoyed the pool and playing in the gardens which are very well positioned and safe for the little ones, whilst us grownups made the most of the hot tub! A big thank you to Lynn and Bill ,the owners, who were very helpful in organising our stay. We will be back soon!

Fabulous week at Villa Ariola
We can't praise Villa Ariola highly enough - we spent a fantastic week relaxing up in the mountains of Tuscany. The villa is really a home from home, as soon as we arrived we felt welcome and relaxed. The village is very peaceful, we spent long days lazing in and by the pool, with only the sounds of the local wildlife to be heard.
Lynn was wonderful to deal with, communication was open and frequent right from when we made our booking and nothing was too much trouble. It was lovely to meet her at the property on our arrival.
The villa is well equipped and was spotlessly clean. The welcome pack of food is very generous and provides most of the things you'll need for the first couple of days of your stay. The bathrobes were a welcome addition for using the hot tub (another great feature of the villa!) as later in the season it can be a little chilly in the evening (relatively speaking , 30+ degrees in the daytime and probably 20 in the evenings!)
We loved our time at Villa Ariola, it was a real opportunity for total relaxation and we didn't want to leave, either during or at the end of our stay! We will certainly be back. Thank you so much Lynn and Bill for sharing your lovely house!

Luxurious bolthole in Tuscany
This house has everything you need. The heated pool, high tech hot tub, fire pit seating area, the out door kitchen, air con….
We use the outdoor pizza oven lots! On my request Lynn and Bill made sure we had pizza dough in the fridge when we arrived and we used it all week - we really got the nack and the pizzas were lovely and crisp!
Nothing is in walking distance so you have to drive but that’s okay - we organised day trips to Lucca (Marikas horse and cart ride is great), Pisa (we literally stopped for 40 mins on our way back from Lucca to see the leaning tower), cinque terre - we took the ferry which was fine but if we were to do it again I would splash out on a private boat tour (the ferry gets crowded)
We also did a local bike tour (electric bikes! - you need them on those Tuscan hills) we thoroughly enjoyed this
I must make a special mention for the hosts, they were there to greet us on arrival with plenty friendly advise and instructions on how to use everything to get the most out of our stay. We have stayed in a few private holiday homes and I have never contacted the host but Lynne was so friendly and wanted to help - they organised somewhere for us to watch the Euro final, they recommended and reserved restaurants and even sent info on things they thought we might like in the area
Thanks Lynne and Bill!
PS the wine at the villa is delicious!!

The real Italy
Villa Ariola, its position and surroundings offer something for everybody. The Villa itself is beautifully spacious and well appointed – there’s enough of everything and everything works, which has not been my experience in other holiday villas. I also really appreciated the number of bathrooms; I hate having people waiting for me and this never happened. My sister is a keen (and excellent) cook and she was in her element in the lovely Ariola kitchen.
My sister and brother-in-law and their little daughter spent most of the time at ‘home’, sunbathing, swimming, playing, pottering and soaking up the peace and beauty of the place. It was a joy to watch all their stress dissolve during our stay.
My husband and I, on the other hand, covered a great deal of ground. We did a lot of walking through the stunning countryside right on Ariola’s doorstep, we checked out the beaches and made a couple of very satisfying day trips, one to Firenze and one to the Cinque Terre. We also visited a vineyard recommended by Lynn & Bill and couldn’t leave without buying a few gallons of local wine to take home (just as well we’d come to Italy by car!).
I know and love Italy but I’ve made a few mistakes with holiday destinations in the past. Irola, however, is the real deal: off the tourist track and immersed in the best of rural Italian culture.
If we can possibly coordinate our work schedules again, I know we’d all love to go back to the Villa Ariola this summer.

5 star Villa Ariola
We have just returned from a fabulous family holiday in Villa Ariola.
The villa is set in an extremely tranquil location and is an ideal spot to unwind and relax. It is an upgraded traditional rustic style Villa with all mod cons. It is very well appointed with everything a family would need. The beautiful outdoor space has something for everyone and is the ideal spot to either chill by the pool through the day, take advantage of the fabulous bbq area, Pizza oven and bar or chill with a drink in the evening watching the stunning night sky that is visible in this hilltop location with minimal light pollution.
The Villa is perfectly located to enable exploring Tuscany's many attractions. We were able to visit Florence, Pisa, La Spezia, Sarzana, the Cinque Terre and the stunning local villages of Bagnone and Malgrate.
Lynn and Bill are fabulous hosts, nothing was too much trouble and they genuinely go the extra mile to ensure the perfect holiday. We dined in several of the restaurants they had recommended, and kindly booked for us, in the beautiful coastal locations of Porto Venere, Lerici and inland in Filetto and Bagnone. They were all excellent suggestions and the food was fabulous in all of the restaurants.
In addition to the excellent restaurant food we were able to enjoy produce from Bill and Lynn's vegetable garden not to mention Bill's delicious home made jam.
They also provided an excellent food hamper upon our arrival with everything we needed to get settled in including some excellent wine!
In conclusion, a delightful Villa for those wishing to completely relax and get away from it all but still be in a location that enables exploring all Tuscany's numerous attractions.

Thank you Wallace and Lorna
We really enjoyed hosting you, and your three teenagers.
You certainly did do lots of sight seeing, but you do need to come back there is so much more, Lucca Genoa and the rest of Lunigiana that you didn't see.
We would be delighted to see you again.
Thank you very much.
Best wishes

À propos de l’hôte
Hôte : Lynn and Bill Taylor
We are both English living in Italy; in 1989, we visited Tuscany many times, searching for a holiday home and eventually discovered a house in the village of Irola. Villa Ariola is our second house here in the village. We had a building company in the UK for many years and have renovated many properties; Villa Ariola took 14 months to complete, with carefully chosen Italian materials to compliment the style of the house. Every time we open the front door, it never fails to wow us and even though we only get to enjoy the place in the winter Villa Ariola is part of us. It hurts to leave, and we are always longing to be back. When we retire, we will live in Italy permanently; until then, we can share our villa with you!
Voici pourquoi l’hôte a choisi cet hébergement
Lunigiana is known as undiscovered Tuscany. We love waking up to the sunshine and beauty of nature. It is lovely to walk in the forest collecting wild herbs, fruits, nuts and mushrooms. We also enjoy the wildlife, the swallows, eagles, wild boar, deer, badgers and fireflies at night. We never tire of the landscape. It is so beautiful dramatic, and completely unspoilt. We like to sit outside a bar, watch the world go by, or go into town for lunch and shopping. Often we go for dinner to one of the excellent restaurants close by or down to the sea for the best fish restaurants anywhere on the Mediterranean. Florence Pisa and Lucca are not far, with all the major attractions of Tuscany within easy reach. But these days, we tend not to travel far, enjoying the Villa, pool, hot tub and outdoor kitchen where we entertain friends with great BBQs in the afternoon sun.
Voici ce qui rend cet hébergement unique
Villa Ariola is away from the hustle and bustle. Yet, it is close to the beaches, the mountains, the main cities of Lucca, Florence and Pisa, and to all the essential facilities (supermarkets, restaurants). It is your oasis. During the summer, many Italians leave the seaside and cities to the annual mixture of heat mosquitoes and tourists, heading for the hills where the air is cleaner and cooler. We have written a comprehensive 'Guide for Guests'. We describe the beaches and recommend many restaurants, places of interest, boat trips and scenic drives to help you get the best from your holiday. “When in Rome, do as the Romans do”
