Very nice property in remote area with splendid views
We spent a wonderful week in this lovely place (9 people aged from 8 to 50). It's far from everything, but very nice and relaxing, the pool was really appreciated by everyone. The main house and cottage are both well equiped and our host was very friendly and knowledgeable on the region and the places to visit

NB - for future guests, whilst the property is very rural, there is a good restaurant within walking distance which is a bonus and also there are 2 towns within a 15 minute drive that have all the facilities you need (one with hypermarket) with places to eat on the way too. So, a good mix of a mountain stay but with facilities not too far too!
great stay in a magnificent region, great welcome from GianCarlo, the house is pretty, very comfortable, clean, spacious and very well equipped. an exceptional view. an extra week with friends. The ideal place to visit the area : Lucca, CinqueTerre... We strongly recommend this address!

Quiet holiday home with lots of space, great views. Perfect place to relax with friends or family
The main house and the cottage have everything you need for a comfortable holiday.
The swimming pool is the perfect place to relax.
The place has almost total privacy but is just 300 meters from the village.
The views to surrounding mountains and the valley are spectacular.
15 min away in Galicano is the huge Conad Super Store where you will find everything you need.
The owner Giancarlo is very friendly and helpful.
The only restaurant in the village 'Il Totto' has good food for a reasonable prize.
We really liked to stay there. We had a beautiful holiday

Good to hear that you walked to Il Totto too and enjoyed the food there. We will pass your comments to Giancarlo and hope to hear from you another time. Lorraine at tuscan-retreats
It's a long drive up winding hills, but once you arrive in Sassi, you can forget about all your worries, sit back and relax. The main farmhouse and the cottage are both well-equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The pool was a godsend on especially hot days, especially for the children, who spent hours playing Marco Polo and other water games well into the evening. Our host was extremely helpful and was a walking encyclopedia of information about the surrounding areas, too. We were a party of eleven, ages 8 to 73. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their stay and took away some wonderful memories. Thank you to GT for everything!

Zeer vriendelijke eigenaar Giancarlo, erg fijne plek met geweldig uitzicht in een klein dorpje met fijn restaurantje. Schoon, groot huis met meerdere badkamers wat erg prettig is met een groep. Goed uitgeruste keuken, fijne tafel buiten onder de pergola, heerlijk zwembad (zout) met een view. Je zit wel remote, maar daardoor heeerlijk rustig. Wij hebben erg genoten van ons verblijf!
Unser Aufenthalt in Sassi war rundum perfekt:Wunderschöne Häuser mit traumhafter Aussicht, alles vorhanden was man für einen entspannten Urlaub braucht, sehr aufmerksamer und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber – sogar der Pool blieb extra für uns geöffnet, ideale Lage für Ausflüge, z. B. zur Grotta del Vento, zum Piano della Croce oder nach Lucca. Restaurant Il Totti im Ort absolut empfehlenswert. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

We’d be delighted to welcome you back whenever you return to the area.

Wir hatten einen wunderbaren Aufenthalt! Das Zuhause ist sehr schön und bietet unglaublich viel Platz – gleich zwei Häuser stehen zur Verfügung. Die Lage am Hügel sorgt für ein tolles Ambiente und eine entspannte Atmosphäre. Besonders hervorheben möchten wir den Gastgeber: super nett, unkompliziert und jederzeit zuvorkommend. Wir haben uns rundum wohlgefühlt und kommen sehr gerne wieder!

Ein super ruhiger Ort, um sich vom Trubel der Stadt zu erholen. Der Besitzer ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit, obwohl er uns bei der Begrüßung sehr verärgert hat (er hat sich darüber beschwert, dass wir mit einem kleinen Hund angereist sind, obwohl dies möglich war und wir extra dafür bezahlt hatten). Die Putzfrauen sollten sich mehr Mühe geben, da es unsauber war. Nachdem wir dies gemeldet hatten, wurde das Haus noch einmal gründlich gereinigt. Jeder, der dorthin fährt, sollte wissen, dass man dort Skorpione treffen kann. Wir wussten das nicht und waren ein wenig erschrocken, als wir einen im Haus sahen. Der nächste Laden ist weit entfernt und man fährt über eine sehr kurvenreiche Straße.
Ziemlich am Ende des Dorf Sassi. Da wir im Berufsleben sehr angespannt sind war die Unterkunft für uns genau Richtig schön gelegen, kein Lärm und der Vermieter sehr nett. Im Dorf zu Fuß zu erreichen 2 Restaurants. Da wir auch öfters in Südtirol sind ist die Fahrt zum Objekt auch kein Problem es ist eine Bergstrasse die an manchen Stellen auch ein bisschen Enger ist. Von dort ist mann in ca 20.Minuten in einem großen Einkaufszentrum und bis Lucca ca 1 Stunde und bis Pisa ca 1,5 Stunden , eine schöne Pool Anlage mit Liegen zum Entspannen

Thank you very much for your kind review.
We’re so pleased to hear that the peaceful setting of the house in Sassi was just what you needed for a relaxing break. The owner will be very happy to know you felt well looked after during your stay.
It’s great that you were able to enjoy the calm surroundings while still being close to restaurants, shops, and well-placed for day trips to Lucca and Pisa. We're also glad you had time to relax by the pool and enjoy the views.
Thank you again, and we’d be delighted to welcome you back in the future.

Einsamkeit in den Bergen
Das Haus bietet viel Platz. Es wurde einst sehr authentisch und mit viel Liebe zum Detail restauriert und eingerichtet. Leider nagt sichtbar der Zahn der Zeit an vielen
Stellen in und am Haus.
Die Anreise erfolgt über die letzten 10 Kilometer auf einer kurvenreichen, schmalen Bergstraße, was bei jeder Fahrt zum Einkaufen (es gibt weder Bäcker noch Lebensmittelladen im Ort) eine halbe Stunde Zeit beansprucht.
Giancarlo, der Vermieter, wohnt mit auf dem Grundstück und ist ein sehr freundlicher und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber. Wer die absolute Einsamkeit und Ruhe in den Bergen liebt, ist hier richtig.

NB - for future guests do note there are 2 restaurants within walking distance and a couple of others around a 10 min drive. Others are further afield - 20 mins or so. There is a bar/bakery in the village of Molazzana 4.5km away, but the hypermarket is as said just under 20 minutes by car. The village itself is under 20 mins equidistant from 2 towns - Castelnuovo (the capital of the Garfagnana) and Gallicano. It is definitely a mountain hideaway but there are plenty of places to visit for an afternoon or day out. We provide a local information pack but at present it is only available in English.
Très bel emplacement et vue spectaculaire , maisons très confortables . Un superbe séjour dans cette région superbe

Lidt besværlig vej op til huset, men beliggenheden var fantastisk.
Måske ikke egnet til småbørn, da grunden er meget ujævn.
Værten var meget hjælpsom og blandt andet sørgede han restaurationsreserveringer for os.
