We had such a lovely stay at villa Di Rustico Amola, it was even better than expected. Amazing host and good communication, the villa had a lot of nice little spots/place, a beautiful Veranda, large pool, barbecue, pizza oven and more. We will def recommends to everyone!

We had a wonderful stay at this villa – the setting is absolutely beautiful and very peaceful. The villa was well-equipped with everything we needed, and the outdoor space was perfect for relaxing and enjoying the scenery.Our children especially loved the alpacas, chickens, and tortoises. The hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming, even leaving us a delicious homemade cake on arrival.The nearby villages are quiet but charming and worth visiting. We also took day trips to Florence and Pisa – longer drives, but definitely worth it.Thank you for a fantastic stay!

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the peaceful setting and well-equipped villa, and that the children loved spending time with the alpacas, chickens, and tortoises. The owners will be so pleased to know their homemade cake was appreciated too – they love welcoming guests in a warm and personal way.
It’s great that you explored the local villages and even made it to Florence and Pisa – definitely ambitious trips, but so worth it!
Thank you again for staying – we’d love to welcome you back in the future.

Lovely house and garden
We are a family of five, with three children between 9 and 11. We loved the pool, and the outside eating area, and the rustic barbeque. The house itself had masses of charm. There is a great living room/den where the kids could watch an occasional dvd. The kitchen could do with a bit of storage space, but was functional enough. My daughter enjoyed feeding the chickens and the tortoise. Great views. We didn't do much other than the odd trip to Castelnuevo, and a bit of cycling, but the property is great if you just want to relax by the pool. Riccardo, the owner, was very welcoming, and really helpful.

Great villa with an excellent pool and garden
We loved our stay at Rustico Lamola. The house was perfect for us, 4 adults and 4 kids. When we arrived we got some eggs from the hens living on the property! There were also two tortoises living in the backyard which the kids loved to feed with lettuce. The garden was in great condition with a lot of flowers, lemon trees, tomatoes, lettuce, zucchini, strawberries and fresh herbs. The kids loved the pool. It being a saltwater pool was actually a big plus. Much better than a chlorinated pool. We ate all our meals under the pergola in front of the house. It was really nice to be able to sit all together outside in the shade. We used the pizza oven outside two times during our stay and the pizzas came out really great. The closest grocery store was only 5 minutes with car and if you wanted a wider selection you could drive 25 minutes to the nearest super store. The house didn’t have air condition, but that didn’t matter since the temperature was about 22 degrees during the night (due to cold mountain air) even though it was above 30 during the day. Overall we were very satisfied with our stay.

Thank you for your review. I am glad you loved this gorgeous garden with its fresh produce and the pool and that made the most of the outdoor areas and pizza oven etc. We hope to hear from you again.

Wir hatten als Freundesgruppe junger Erwachsener eine unglaublich tolle Woche im Haus von Riccardo und Clara. Sie waren total herzliche Gastgeber, die immer da waren, wenn man etwas gebraucht hat. Zur Begrüßung hat ein Kuchen auf uns gewartet und auch während unseres Aufenthaltes kamen sie immer wieder vorbei und haben sich um die Tiere auf dem Anwesen gekümmert. Das Haus ist in traumhafter Alleinlage am Berg, weshalb man keine Nachbarn hat, die man stören könnte. Ob der riesige Pool (10m4m1,50), der Pizzaofen, der Outdoorkühlschrank, der Ausblick oder doch der liebevoll gestaltete Garten das Highlight waren, lässt sich nur schwer sagen, da alle Faktoren zusammen das Haus so einzigartig gemacht haben. Eine Weinprobe im fußläufig entfernten Weingut ist ebenfalls zu empfehlen. Vielen Dank für den tollen Aufenthalt!

Ein liebevoll gestaltetes Haus mit herzlicher Atmosphäre
Eine überdurchschnittlich liebevoll gestaltete Unterkunft für 8 Personen bestens geeignet. Die Eigentümer leben in der Nähe und sind sehr freundlich, verbindlich und unkompliziert. Der große Pool hat uns die Sommerhitze, die auch schon durch die Lage des Hauses selbst gut zu ertragen ist, genießen lassen. Der Pizzaofen und eine Feuerstelle mit gigantischem Ausblick sind kaum zu toppen.

Wir hatten einen tollen Urlaub in diesem wundervollen Ferienhaus.
Die Eigentümer sind extrem hilfsbereit und freundlich. Das Grundstück samt Pool und Garten sind in vorbildlichem Zustand.
Es gibt Alpakas, Hühner, Meerschweinchen und Schildkröten vor Ort, was ein Highlight für alle Kinder ist.
Die Umgebung der Garfagnana ist sehr kurvig, aber wunderschön. Vom Ferienhaus ist man schnell in Lucca und Castelnuovo.
Fazit: Wir kommen wieder!

Woning is mooi, prachtig uitzicht, maar heel erg afgelegen. Er is een kleine winkel in de buurt, maar de grote winkel is zeker 30min rijden, maar in de bergen is dit niet zo aangenaam. De grotten waren ook 1 uur rijden, Pisa anderhalf uur, telkens misselijke kinderen in de auto gehad.
Zwembad is heel mooi, maar amper schaduw en het was ijskoud (24°C), echt niet leuk om er lang in te blijven spelen met de kinderen. Ook de ligstoelen waren aan vernieuwing toe (slechts 4 stuks voor een huisje van 8 personen). Geen wifi aan het zwembad, enkel in het huisje...)
Verder heel veel wespen, vliegen en allerlei insecten (wegens de perzik- en perenbomen).

Thank you for your review. We are glad you thought the house is beautiful and you enjoyed those gorgeous views. We will pass your feedback re the sunbeds back to the owner as there is a regular programme of renewal in place. The WIFI is the best that can be had in the mountains but the owner has been actively exploring ways of extending it to the pool, since this has become important to many guests, so this should hopefully be in place for 2023. I am afraid this year with the intense heat insects in this rural location have been more prolific than usual, in all areas.
In terms of the location, this is a mountain property, and therefore very rural, and of course not flat like the Netherlands and I am sorry you have children that get car sick. The places you chose to visit are a bit of a distance but as per the local information pack (which you may not have downloaded) there are so many places to go to locally.
NB For future gests do note, although in the mountains there are 3 great restaurants within a 3 or 4 min drive, and more in Camporgiano just a 5 minute drive away and others further afield. There is a supermarket at Camporgiano a 5 min drive away and a large supermarket 15 mins away in Castelnuovo where there are also lots of local shops. The caves are a 50 minute drive as mentioned in the review, but there is plenty to see and visit closer than the caves, and we provide a detailed information pack. For example the stunning fortress of Verrucole with interactive attractions just an 8 min drive, the zip wire and adventure park only a 5 min drive, and for those enjoying river swimming you can do this just 3 mins away, and also do wine tasting only 5 mins away too. There are the market towns of Castelnuovo 18 mins away and stunning Barga 30 mins, and of course a wonderful day out at Lucca an hour's drive. These towns are reachable down the valley road so apart from the first 10 mins, relatively straight. One can also take many mountain style drives if one wishes, to lots of villages, little lakes and so forth. The area is stunning.
Alles super, Haus top, Gastgeber super nett. Haus in der Natur ein Traum

Wir haben den Urlaub sehr genossen. Die Unterkunft ist sauber, sehr weitläufig, sehr gut ausgestattet und ideal für bis zu acht Gäste. Sehr ruhige Umgebung/Alleinlage. Vermieter jeder Zeit für Fragen o.ä. zu erreichen. Tiere vor Ort (Hühner, Schildkröten, Alpaka).
Einziger Nachteil: Sitzgelegenheit auf Terrasse ohne Rückenlehne.
Ottima villa immersa nel verde, perfetta per il nostro gruppo di 8 ragazzi.
Abbiamo apprezzato l’interno della casa, dotata di tutti i comfort; ma abbiamo soprattutto sfruttato il fantastico giardino con piscina della proprietà. Impareggiabile il portico, sotto cui abbiamo passato gran parte del nostro tempo nelle ore più calde della giornata.
Gentilissima Clara, la proprietaria, che non ci ha mai fatto mancare nulla e ci regalava le uova fresche delle galline presenti nel giardino. Sulla proprietà ci sono anche Sammy e Sansone, due simpatici alpaca che ci hanno fatto compagnia durante il nostro soggiorno.

Very rustic but we love it.
This was our third visit. As always if a slight problem is encountered nothing is too much trouble for it to be rectified. Visited some of our favourite haunts but found it relaxing just staying at the property soaking up the sun and that lovely view. Garden so well stocked with herbs of which we took advantage. We were invited to help ourselves to any fruit or vegetables growing on the property too.

Very nice and private property - very kind owners
Ein perfekter Ort um einen Toskana-Urlaub zu beginnen.
Das Anwesen:
Sehr gemütlich, gut und großzügig eingerichtet. Die Küche ist sehr gut ausgestattet. Man merkt, dass die Besitzer zeitweise das Haus selber nutzen und auf Funktionalität Wert legen.
Das Grundstück:
Sehr gepflegt mit kleinem Kräutergarten in dem man Sachen der italienischen Küche findet.
Der Pool ist natürlich das absolute Highlight. So großzügig das man auch in die Verlegenheit kommt Bahnen zu schwimmen. Wir haben ihn trotz der niedrigen Temperaturen und des häufigen Regen jeden Tag genossen. Zudem gibt es neben einer Außendusche (einer kleinen Grotte nachempfunden) noch ein separates Bad zur Poolseite, das über eine Dusche und eine Toilette verfügt.
Das Grundstück ist von außen nicht einsehbar und man hat seine absolute Privatsphäre.
Die vorbeiführende Straße ist sehr wenig befahren.
Die Besitzer:
Leider sind unsere Italienischkenntnisse sehr beschränkt, so dass wir uns größten Teils mit Händen und Gesten verständigen mussten.
Wir wurden sehr herzlich empfangen und wurden ins Haus eingewiesen. Am zweiten Tag bekamen einen Riesenkorb mit Tomaten und Gurken aus eigenem Anbau geschenkt. Zudem versorgte uns der Besitzer auch immer wieder mit frischen Eiern, die er alle 1-2 Tage aus dem an das Grundstück angeschlossenen kleinen Hühnerstall holte.
Fazit:
Perfekt für Erholungssuchende.
Wir haben die Zeit unglaublich genossen und würden auf jeden Fall wieder kommen.
Sehr empfehlenswert.
