We really enjoyed the stay and the house. It is well appointed and had everything we needed. The pool was great and we enjoyed a number of the local restaurants. We had a big car for 6/7 people which meant the track and road to the village was a bit more challenging, but we did love the view from the gardens. Whilst we enjoyed the rustic nature of the table and seating outside it could be a little more comfortable. Overall we enjoyed our stay very much.

We are delighted that you all had a lovely holiday. As you know, La Spinosa is set up for a maximum of six people. Late in the day, you asked for an extra guest to be accommodated, to which we agreed, reluctantly. That is why you found the outside dining table, and perhaps other things too, a little squeezy!

Wonderful Location, House and Garden

We are so glad that we picked this house for our holiday. We were made to feel welcome from the first moment of arrival with by Paul who looks after the property and by the house itself. It is in an ideal location to explore Tuscany being both central to the region and in a very quiet beautiful spot. The house and garden are a labour of love and we felt lucky that the owners were happy to share it with us. We hope we can return.

A Week in Castelvecchio

We spent a great week at this beautiful house in Pescia, Tuscany. The location, while remote, is in the foothills of the Appenines and is surrounded by hilltop towns, is close to great restaurants and is an easy drive or train ride to Lucca, Viareggio, Collodi, Pisa, etc. The three bedrooms are spacious, the common areas as well and the two bathrooms with shower are spacious and work well (noting only the low headroom in the second floor bathroom). Recommend this house highly.

We had such a lovely stay at La Spinosa and our only regret is we couldn’t we stayed longer! We spent the mornings touring around the charming villages in the area and the afternoons laying by the pool and playing badminton. The house was set up perfectly for us, and we loved cooking at home after eating in so many restaurants. (we did have a fun evening walking down to La Pieve and luckily we had a full moon to help light the way back!) Paul was very helpful with all our questions and easy to communicate with. We all agreed that we would love to come back and stay at this beautiful farmhouse again someday!

Relax in Tranquility

We stayed here for a week, one couple plus a single friend. I can't believe that the description and photos don't include the amazing view you have over the neighbouring town of Castelvecchio, because it was stunning, and we couldn't get enough of having our antipasto platters and Aperols looking over that view. We had big plans of driving all over Tuscany for that week, but once we saw the house, we couldn't bring ourselves to want to leave! So we stayed most days in the house, enjoying the views, the pool, walking the nearby villages and eating at the local restaurant - fantastic food and ambience. Strongly recommend you book a lunch at the nearby agriturismo, recommended by our lovely host. Also recommend get some groceries before you come up, because you might not want to leave.

We booked this property due to the very high ratings on this site but we would like to normalize this a little bit. Because the house is not a 10 as rated, its more like a 7. For us the house and the location was not suited for our plans and we cut our stay short. The road to the house was worse then we expected and the if you want to do groceries you need to calculate minimum an hour to be back. The positive point about the house is that it is fully equiped from towels to soap and pottery and pans. We believe that people who want to have piece and quite during their vacation can have a lovely stay here. But if you want to use the house, as we wanted, to be your base and then take day trips we personally would not recommend it, especially if you value your car. We do want to complement Paul. He was lovely at check-in.

We are sorry you did not like the location of La Spinosa, although we wouldn’t describe your comments as to ‘normalise’ because normally, guests overwhelmingly give La Spinosa a five star rating, love the stunning views, the swimming pool, the quiet and the tucked away location. The track to the house is relatively short - indeed you can walk it in ten minutes - a beautiful road through chestnut woods with a bridge over a stream. It is certainly not rough by Tuscan country standards. You are right however in saying that one cannot pop to the shops, as main supermarkets are in Pescia, a fifteen minute drive away. It sounds as though you prefer a more urban environment, which La Spinosa certainly isn’t as you rightly say. We do hope you found somewhere more suited to your ideals.

A tranquil hideaway

We loved the farmhouse and had a peaceful week perched up on the hillside with spectacular views. The house was comfortable and very well equipped with lots of shady areas to sit and a lovely clean pool. As it was quite isolated, we found the driving up and down quite unnerving with Italian drivers speeding past so only ventured out to visit Lucca which was spectacular and to go to the supermarket which was 30/40 minutes drive away in Peschia. The thick walls of the house mean it is always cool inside. It was convenient having a restaurant that we could walk to in the village and a couple more close by but we loved eating on the terrace and enjoying the panoramic view. The only downside was the incessant dog barking at night which disturbed the peace but otherwise it is a lovely spot.

Lovely week

We had a wonderful week at La Spinosa. The property is located in a beautiful part of the Tuscan hills with absolutely breathtaking views all around. While it is very much away from it all, there is a restaurant within walking distance, which we enjoyed and is great value. (We were glad we had a torch for walking back afterwards.) The house is about 30 minutes from the shops down slow winding roads, so it is worth stocking up if you plan to spend your day(s) lazing by the pool. Alternatively, Lucca and Pestoia are both less than an hour away and worth a visit if you fancy a day out. Paul, the house manager, was very helpful and made sure we had everything we needed and helped with bookings etc which was appreciated. Agriturismo Montaione was an amazing Tuscan dining experience, although the drive up to this restaurant is more than a little hair raising!

Tuscan Hills Retreat

Beautiful rustic farmhouse in the Tuscan hills with outstanding views and swimming pool. This was our second visit to La Spinosa, having gotten engaged there 13 years ago. This time we were there with our 3 daughters and they really enjoyed exploring the grounds, swimming in the pool, playing games and drawing the view! We had a really special time there, reconnecting as a family and enjoying some slow living. Thank you for enabling us to make such lovely memories :-) The house is a straightforward drive from Pisa and easily accessible for day trips to Lucca and Florence . The mountain roads are very narrow and twisty in parts so a small car is required! The house manager Paul is very friendly and knowledgeable about the local area and gave some great recommendations. We once again went to Monteone, which was a fantastic local dining experience like no other! The house is well equipped with games, DVDs and books, so coupled with the gorgeous views and pool you can easily re-charge and rest without having to go too far. The village is a 10 minute walk away through the woods and has a couple of lovely restaurants (no shops however so you do need a supermarket trip on your way there!).

Great House with a View

If you want a great old house up in the hills of rural Tuscany - this is it. The view from every angle is to die for. The house is well taken care of, the appliances are all new, the showers are great, the water pressure is excellent. You don't need A/C if you close the windows before 10 am and open them after 6 pm. The air is fresh and the birds are singing...The pool is great, the TV is large and there is a library of good movies... Follow the owner's suggestions (well written and detailed) about food and moving around - they are all great, and you will have a good feel of the Tuscany. The property manager Paul is very helpful as well. If you are american, get a smaller car, midsize or full size are bad choice, small crossover is ideal. If you are not really comfortable with stick shift, take an automatic. Remember, you are going to be on top of a beautiful hill with a killer view. Thank you Vaughan and Paul.

Rather more remote than listing let’s on

The house while pleasant is far more remote than described and the driving instructions are not provided until after you book. The drive from Pescia (the only town with any shops / services) is at least 20 minutes up winding roads and the last approach to the house is on a narrow winding track. Once you reach the house the parking is a little difficult and there is a steep ramp down to the house so making it rather awkward to get luggage and provisions in and out. The house is simple and the pool and garden pleasant but on arriving on a wet cold day after a long drive from Rome, the house and location seemed a bit bleak. The rain persisted and we actually decided to go to stay in Lucca for a couple of days. We returned on a sunny day and felt differently about the house but also now knew what we were coming to. Unfortunately in cold and / or wet weather this house is not ideal. I appreciate it must be lovely and charming in the warmth of the sun and of course no fault of anyone that the weather was bad. My main comment is that expectations need to be set so it is clearer to any renter that the location is a bit tricky. Thank you

Thank you for this. We understand that you arrived in Italy unwell, not a good combination given your flight and your long drive from Rome in heavy rain. We are sorry, therefore that you did not enjoy your holiday. Driving in Italy can be a challenge for those unused to it, especially travellers from the US. Tailgating is an Italian specialty as is driving in the middle of country roads and swerving at the last possible split second. The best thing to do is pull over, stop and let them pass. They, like most Italian drivers, are in a hurry, but you are not. You are on vacation!

Derfor valgte værten dette overnatningssted

Perfectly situated to fly to ( 1 hour from Florence and Pisa airports), away from it all, yet near very good restaurants and within easy reach of Tuscany's main cultural attractions. La Spinosa has its own swimming pool which is open from the beginning of April to the end of September.

The church bell tolls, announcing the hour,
The night-watching dogs begin to bark at one another,
The sun appears gently over the ridge of the mountain,
The day has started.

The day is always at its best first thing,
Everything is fresh as the woodpecker claims its territory.
Up above, the honey buzzard circles for its prey,
From its vantage point, the Tuscan farmhouse on the ridge,
Observes the waking houses' smoke fires drifting through the valley,
The first warm, golden yellow rays of sun penetrate,
Through the old, varnished shutters,
All is silent.

Far off, can be seen the beautiful hilltop village,
Sheltered by cypress trees, giving the place its identity,
One begins to hear the splutter of a three-wheeled van.
As the workman begins his journey to work,
The day has begun."
