The villa has a marvellous setting overlooking the hills north of Lucca. Italy was having a heatwave so we greatly appreciated the pool and the air conditioning in the bedrooms.The house is well equipped and is only a short walk from local shops. We also appreciated the kindness of the hosts who helped us when a granddaughter needed the services of a local doctor. Casa Musa is a great place to stay

Great house. Amazing view from the patio/pool and not overlooked at all so feels very private. Everything was as described and made for a wonderful stay.15mins drive to Lucca which is a very interesting / beautiful place to visit. Only slight negative would be the level of mosquitoes, but think that’s just the area - not the houses fault! But would advice to bring insect repellants etc

Such a wonderful stay in a beautifully peaceful location. Mimicha is the perfect host, helpful, responsive and her communication was always super clear.The villa had all the space we needed as a party of 5. It was impeccably clean and tidy and really well appointed.The pool area was great, super comfortable sun loungers and plenty of options for shade and the air conditioning in the bedrooms coped perfectly with the summer heatwave.The location was great for us, a peaceful little village but still only 15mins from Lucca and the village itself has a great supermarket and a couple of decent pizza restaurants.We highly recommend a day at the beach club, great facilities and a lovely restaurant and really friendly staff and very easy to find thanks to Mimicha’s excellent instruction.All in all a really great stay - couldn’t fault a thing

The location and terrace was perfect. The host responsive. Welcome pack on arrival appreciated. The villa is rustic but we liked that. One of the double rooms is above the kitchen accessed via staircase with no door so had to keep noise levels low in morning. There is another rental property behind villa but this didnt impact on privacy. It was joyous to sit out at night and watch the fireflies! The tennis court referenced isnt part of the villa as we thought - its in a family fun park and costs to use. Lovely village. Friendly locals. Quiet and peaceful.

Beautiful Casa Musa

We have just come back from a two week break staying at Casa Musa. The villa was beautiful set in idyllic surroundings. It provided everything needed for a perfect family holiday. We visited quite a few areas such as our personal favourite Lucca, we also travelled to Florence, Pisa and Viareggio. Thank you to Mimi and her lovely family for their hospitality and the lovely Tuscan meal which was delicious! A fabulous holiday enjoyed by everyone.

Great hosts

Loved Casa Musa! Relaxing pool side was wonderful, great view. The location was perfect, close to Lucca & the train station, 1/2 hour to the beach. Good grocery store 5 minute drive. Adamo Winery/ olive oil 2 minutes away was great. Mimica was a very responsive contact and Jack and his wife were wonderful hosts. The place really grows on you. Would definitely return and recommend it.

Beautiful small villa near Lucca

We spent a week with our son and his family at this lovely small villa in San Martino in Freddana in July 2022. Mimi was a gracious and helpful host, very responsive to questions and offering suggestions. The weather was very hot during our stay and the pool was great. The bedrooms all have AC and the rest of the house stayed reasonably cold due to the thick walls. Lucca was a 10 minute drive with lots to do and see. We recommend this great little villa!

Lovely Villa and friendly hosts

The property was actually better than I expected all the bedrooms had new ensuite facilities with good air conditioning in the bedrooms. The kitchen had limited work space but it was fine and everything you needed was there. There was a good washing machine , iron etc if you needed it. The pool was nice and the owner really friendly and helpful. There is also a lovely ice cream parlour walking distance from the villa and a supermarket nearby. We had a lovely time and I thought it was good value .

Really lovely house, with gardens, pool and view

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Musa. Mimicha was a great host, replying quickly to any queries and also very generous with surprise gifts, which was hugely appreciated! The kids loved watching the endless supply of lizards and I loved the view. Great gelateria within walking distance was an added bonus. Tricky ish if you don't drive. The supermarket is walking distance away but along a veery busy road , and there;'s no public transport to Lucca, but we were happy to mainly ralax by the pool and splurge on taxis when we wanted something else. Very happy to recommend this lovely place.

Stunning house with amazing views

Fantastic house in a stunning location, in fact I am surprised they don’t show more pictures of the view ! Great pool and general grounds around the house to keep the kids occupied. The village and surrounding area is very local which we loved, including often taking chances on the restaurant menus which is part of the adventure. Excellent supermarket, cafe/bar (coffee very good), pizzeria and gelateria. Lucca is only 15 min drive which is a great little City to visit in the evening. Lido di Camaiore is also close (30mins) for trips to the beach. Mimi and her Dad looked after us during our stay including leaving pastries some mornings and numerous bottles of wine in the evenings.

Beautiful view from a rustic Tuscan property

We had been given great instructions from the owner and so found the property easily. The property was clean on our arrival and there was plenty of information on the local area which was really useful. The view from the house is beautiful and the area is very tranquil and apart from the odd dog barking it was extremely peaceful. Lucca is well worth the visit and not far at all through beautiful countryside. We are a tall family and so two of the three showers were a bit of a squeeze. The third bedroom is above and accessed through the kitchen with the shower room behind the kitchen. The shower is set into the stairs and so almost unusable for a 6 foot plus man. Aside from that, the house is exactly like the photos online. The outside table has tiny ants living in it so whenever you eat at it they come out in force. We just made sure we wiped the table before and after use. The only disappointment really was the pool area which is a bit shabby. The sun loungers we’re very comfortable but needed a good scrub clean and the umbrella is broken and held together with tape. The pool is not deep at all but was fine for swimming. It was a little grubby around the edges and had started to cloud over on the Wednesday of our week break as the cleaning tablet had run out. The whole area could use some TLC. However, that said, we had a wonderful week in this area and will have very fond memories of our time there.

Sehr freundliche und zuvorkommende Gastgeber. Direkte Antwort und Hilfe bei Fragen.Sehr schönes Haus und gepflegter Pool.Die letzten Meter Auffahrt zum Haus sind sehr steil und etwas eng aber definitiv machbar. Mit sehr großen Autos sollte sich die Auffahrt zuerst angeschaut werden. Im Ort befinden sich aber auch Parkmöglichkeiten.Wir würden sehr gerne wiederkommen

Top locatie!

Heerlijk en gezellig vakantiehuis met zeer vriendelijke, flexibele en gastvrije eigenaren. Dochter Mimicha was onze host. Zeer schoon, gesteven lakens en sfeervolle slaapkamers. Voldoende keukengerei. Fijn zwembad. Wij kregen elke zondag verse zoete croissants van de eigenaren. Deze wonen achter dit huis, maar zie je nauwelijks. Het huis voelde zeer privé. Wij hebben een super vakantie gehad met 4 volwassenen en 2 kids. Het onverwachte bezoek van onze zoon en zijn vriendin was geen probleem: daar was de lieve eigenaresse met extra handdoeken en extra lakens voor de bedbank! Ze gunde het ons zo om als familie bij elkaar te zijn. Dit is gastvrouwschap van de bovenste plank, mét extra croissants op zondag. Ook de locatie is heel goed; in 15 min in Lucca, 40 min in Pisa enz enz. Wij kunnen dit huis alleen maar aanbevelen!

Im Grossen und ganzen hat es uns gefallen. Die Zufahrtsstrasse ist jedoch bedenklich. Sehr steil und schmal und zum Teil hat es spitze Gitter die aus dem Boden herausstehen.

Prima verblijf!

Wij hebben een prima verblijf gehad in deze villa (gezelschap bestaande uit 4 volwassenen en 2 jonge kinderen). Mooie ligging, ook om uitstapjes te maken naar oa Lucca, Pisa, Cinque Terre en Firenze. In de buurt van de villa liggen een supermarkt, ijssalon en restaurants. De inrichting van de villa is tevens prima, alhoewel ik niet zou adviseren om er met 8 personen te verblijven. 2 personen zouden dan moeten slapen in de woonkamer op een slaapbank, de woonkamer is daar echt te klein voor. De woonkamer is ook niet echt geschikt (en niet gezellig ingericht) om er met 6 personen te zitten. Het is echt gericht op het buiten leven en daar is deze villa prima voor geschikt met een mooi uitzicht, een mooie tuin met verschillende terrassen en een mooi zwembad. Verder hebben we niet veel gemist wb inrichting.

Casa Musa villa in San Martin in Freddano

The villa was set in a very quiet location, far enough away from the main road through the village. All that could be heard was the sound of birds and at times a few noisy dogs! After turning into a small lane and negotiating a winding driveway we found the house in a lovely setting. Two bedrooms were en-suite and the third (which was reached by stairs going up from the kitchen) had a separate bathroom leading off the kitchen. The shower in this room would suit a very short person as it had a slanted ceiling! There were a few kitchen/dining/lounge items which we felt could have been provided to improve anyone's stay at the villa, so we spoke to the owner at the end of our 2wks and she was very grateful for our ideas. We were not aware however that our bedding and towels would not be changed after our first week and that if we wanted it doing we would have to pay extra, also extra for a cleaner to come in! We have rented villas quite a few times but never had to do this for ourselves! The pool is good and although not huge, suited us. Provision for outdoor dining was good. Surprisingly, San Martino has a very good supermarket which we made use of and also a few little shops which we could walk to, including a lovely Gelateria. This area of Tuscany gave us the opportunity to visit the surrounding countryside and towns including Lucca, Florence, Siena, San Gimignano and Pisa. We found our hostess and her parents very amenable and we enjoyed our stay.

A very special place in our hearts!!!

A year has passed and yes we did keep our promise to return to Tuscany, from 27 June to 04 July. Not alone this time, but with the rest of the family...our 2 daughters and my mother in law. Casa Musa was our first and ONLY choice. Mimi was awaiting our arrival and once again welcomed us "Home". When we returned to the Germany last year, my husband and I could not stop talking about the Beautiful house we stayed at. We promised to return someday with the children to share Tuscany with them. We spent one beautiful week at Casa Musa and once again enjoyed the hospitality. We also once again experienced the beauty of Tuscany and our city visits included Firenze, Lucca, Pisa to name a few. We also visited the Cinque Terre..... simply wonderful!!!! Caves in the Garafagnana , and a long drive through the Chianti area, spectacular vineyards and olive orchards!!! We indulged ourselves with delightful Italian cuisine and wine. Pity it all had to come to an end… like all good things do!!! Our children and my mother in law, together with us truly enjoyed this one week. We are looking forward to our next visit. We thank you for a wonderful time, Casa Musa holds a very special place in our hearts!!!
