We had a wonderful time at this property. The host Simonetta provided excellent suggestions about things to do in the area that including the best restaurants! Excellent and timely communication! The pool and house were perfect for our family of 13. There is ample space, close to multiple grocery stores and cafes. Don’t miss a morning espresso at Glamour Café. Overall a great experience!

An incredible modern property. The infinity pool was amazing. The pool a little cold, but this is due to the time of year. Beautiful location such incredible scenery. The host tried to be as helpful as possible. They were happy to lend us a heater to warm up the apartment.

A Week in Garfagnana

Our stay at Piazza al Serchio was wonderful. My husband and I brought our 3 children and their families to celebrate our upcoming 50th anniversary. In total we were 8 children, ranging in age from 3 to 16, and 8 adults Simonetta, Raffaello, and her father could not have been more accomodating They treated us to cake and some pizza upon arrival plus wine. When the local pizzeria could not accomodate 16 on a Sunday, they ordered for us and her father drove us 3 villages away to pick it up. They booked us a fabulous family meal with the unforgettable Roberto Divini The area, Gargagnana, is a little bit of mountainous heaven and a beautiful respite after touring Rome. The countryside, quaint villages and mountain lake are so memorable. Pisa and Lucca are close by plus we got to spend a day in the Cique Terra. The villa was very inviting. The children and family loved the pool area and large terrace for family meals..This was a great place for a Tuscan vacation.

The most beautiful vacation

This villa, location, and host are all SUBLIME. Simonetta is kind, accommodating, and in constant contact for any of your needs. Their home is beautiful, it is clean, and the amenities are over the top. Upon arriving, there were pastries for us to enjoy. Over the next week, we were given the opportunity to sample local products, even some that they made themselves. We had coffee available to us every morning too. The rooms and space was exactly as described. The pictures of the property do not do it justice. This is one of the most beautiful places we have ever been on vacation. There were 10 of us for the stay and everyone had everything they wanted and needed. There are grocery stores and pharmacies nearby. It is a quiet area with zero tourists. The local restaurants were delicious and fresh. The owners did a great job of making us aware of locally sourced restaurants too! I would highly recommend the chef service offered at the house. The menu is impeccable and the chef is so kind and accommodating. We did dinner two nights at the house and it was definitely a highlight. Everything is paired nicely with wine too! The property is about 4 hours from Milan, 2+ from Florence, and other locations. I would stay at this place over and over again. I hope we can get back soon. Thank you to the owners, the property managers, the chef, and everyone who made our stay a dream.

We had a wonderful stay at Raffaello and Simonetta’s property. The home was absolutely immaculate and exceptionally well maintained from the moment we arrived. They were incredibly responsive throughout our stay and always available to answer questions or provide assistance when needed.What really set this property apart was the thoughtful information they provided about the area. Their local recommendations helped us make the most of our trip and led us to some fantastic experiences we might have otherwise missed.One of our favorite aspects of the property was its peaceful setting. After spending our days exploring busy cities and popular attractions, returning to such a quiet and relaxing environment was the perfect respite. Enjoying a morning coffee while listening to birds chirping and taking in the surrounding nature was a highlight of our stay. The tranquility of the property made it easy to unwind and truly appreciate the beauty of the area.We highly recommend staying here and would gladly return in the future. Thank you, Raffaello and Simonetta, for being such outstanding hosts and for helping make our trip so memorable!

Thank you for your review. We are happy to hear you loved the villa and had a good stay. Yes, this is a very rural area, with rural pursuits but there are plenty of places to visit too, in a non touristy way of course - we do try to assist with this by sending a local information pack prior to arrival.

Wonderful stay at Villa Magnolia

We just came off a one week stay at this property and had a fabulous stay! The villa itself is very spacious and we had more than enough room for my husband and me on the upper level and our four adult children plus 2 more family guests for a couple of nights. Everything was provided for us so we didn’t need to purchase anything other than food for the week. Simonetta and her dad Antonio were awesome and spoiled us all week! We arrived to a fully stocked fridge full of beverages and pizza and a dessert. When I told Antonio I didn’t drink coffee, the next day I found my favourite tea. The following day he picked fresh berries off of their farm and dropped them off and another day we had fresh hazelnuts also picked from their property delivered. Whenever we had a question, Simonetta answered us right away. She also gave suggestions on some fun things to do in town. On our final day, my son-in-law needed to find engine coolant and because it was a Saturday the gas stations were closed. He ran into Antonio in town and he took him to see his mechanic who ensured he got him what he needed. On our final night Simonetta made us a delicious lasagna and tiramisu complete with limoncello and more red wine to complete our wonderful vacation. These personal touches will never be forgotten by this wonderful family who owns this villa. They live at the villa but you never see them except for Antonio who comes first thing in the morning to clean the pool. The drive to get to the property was full of beautiful scenery and mountainous, winding roads. So much beauty all around us. The nearby midieval villages were nice to explore too and one was within walking distance. We did day trips to Cinque Terre and Florence as well as Forte De Mari with its beautiful beaches. We also enjoyed having some local gelato from Lago Gramazzolano which was the most beautiful lake about a 10 minute drive away. One of our highlights was also the night we hired Chef Alessio to cook for us! What an incredible meal and experience for us. Even his table setting was beautiful. What a lovely eve we had dining al Fresco under the Tuscan hillside. Incredible stay and such special moments enjoyed by our family. Will be remembered forever.
