Holiday rentals near Museum of Contemporary Art and the Twentieth Century

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Villa which had superb views over Luca. Massimo, the owner, was lovely and spoke very good English explaining the places we should visit. He was very tolerant of us as we left things behind but rang us to let us know before we had gone too far! Thank you

This was a special event made even better by the beautiful house and Monica's great cooking and hosting. Stunning views and beautiful rooms. Monica welcomed us and made sure we had everything we needed, she couldn't have been nicer. We also arranged for her to cook a celebration meal one night which was exceptional, genuine local products, her own cheese and a real flavour of Tuscan cookery. I can't recommend this place and Monica enough.

Happy to recommend Simona's property. An excellent location as a base to visit the surrounding area and beyond...and just to walk out of the door and enjoy walks in the immediate locality. A very comfortable apartment to return to and spend time in... it's a great location in Aquilea. Supermarket close by... and a ' negozio alimentari' and bar in Aquilea ( unfortunately the owners went on holiday the day I arrived, so cannot comment further ). Simona is very helpful re local information and potential sightseeing.

Absolutely beautiful villa in every way. The property is equipped and maintained to the highest standard without exception. The outdoor cooking space made it perfect for evenings on the terrace with views over Buti and the surrounding area. The pool is amazing - we struggled to get the children (and grown ups) out of it! The location is perfect for access to so many ‘must see’ places. We visited Lucca, Pisa, Volterra, San Gimignano, Florence and Cinque Terre during our stay. Some of our family also took a trip to Rome by train from Pisa. Our stay was to celebrate a special occasion as a family and a local chef recommended by Marco came and cooked us a wonderful, authentic Italian meal. Marco is the most welcoming and gracious host and went above and beyond to make our stay absolutely perfect. Can’t recommend this beautiful villa highly enough!

A beautiful hillside view, top quality pool and lovely relaxed feeling. Would definitely recommend a d well positioned for Lucca and Barga.

A beautiful location. The house had everything you could possibly want. The outdoor space was picture perfect and the pool very welcome on such hot days. The property is remote and not for the faint hearted to drive but so worth it.

This will be a very dull read! It's our third stay here and it just gets better and better! It feels like home but in one of the most lovely parts of beautiful Toscana. Nothing is missing from the house that you'd need and Isabella just keeps adding super 'extras'. Stay here and I can guarantee that you will have a beautiful and memorable experience, and I'll bet that you'll return!

This is an absolute gem of a property, and Stefania is a fabulous host! We weren’t sure of our arrival time but Stefania was flexible and worked around us, giving us a warm welcome when we arrived. The property is only 40 minutes’ drive from Pisa airport, so we were able to spend time sightseeing in Pisa without worrying about a lengthy or difficult drive ahead. The property is just off a well-used road and has a couple of other properties nearby, so expect some road noise and dog barking, but this didn’t bother us, and we liked the convenience. Supermarkets, restaurants and takeaway pizza are all less than 10 minutes’ drive away, and the house is really well equipped for cooking (although short on counter space). The house itself was an absolute joy – there are two terraces, and sunbeds you can easily move around the garden to find shade/sun at any point in the day. Having the pool is great – and the views over nearby town Lucca and the mountains when you’re swimming are breathtaking. We drove to Lucca one day (about 15 minutes), a lovely place to spend a day wandering round. And the characterful hilltop village of Montecarlo is well worth a visit. We also spent a day driving in the nearby mountains. Definitely not for the faint-hearted! But there are some lovely mountain villages and peaceful woodlands to explore. This was our first visit to Italy, and we couldn’t have wished for a lovelier place to stay, or a more helpful host - thanks Stefania!
