Beautiful house and views

House, garden and views are wonderful and mostly you will just hear bird song and insects. A highlight was a meal cooked by Alessandra and family. Surprisingly good local shops as a bonus and enough fireflies in the evening for a discotheque. A little remote for hard core sight seeing which was fine

Quiet escape

Very nice location (in the middle of nowhere), spectacular views, we spent a very relaxing first week of September 2024. Temperatures dropped at night, we slept very well with open windows, did not miss air-conditionning. We very much enjoyed the pizza oven, using it every second day. It became a family event with everyone involved.

I have never been to a property location this beautiful before. When we were shown around the grounds we were are all in awe. An absolutely exquisite spot. Mountains, trees and a very light sprinkling of villages surround you. The property is in fantastic order throughout and very well equipped. Thanks to the hosts who were immensely helpful, too. Can't rate it highly enough.

Beautiful place in North Tuscany

Beautiful location in Tuscany. House was great as were the grounds which are painstakingly kept up by the groundskeeper. The views are simply out of this world. The pizza night that we arranged was fantastic--come with a BIG appetite! Only thing that was less than great was the drive up the hill to get to the house--it is very long and winding but once you get there it is worth the effort!

Beautiful property and perfect escape!

Two families stayed here from Oregon. We loved the gardens, pool area and outdoor spaces. We did not love the long driveway to the house but it did get easier over time. The house worked out perfectly - each bedroom had a full bath and the beds and linens were very comfortable. We ended up using all the fans in our rooms at night as it got warm at bedtime. We enjoyed a nice pizza night with Diego & Alessandra. We did a few day trips - Cinque Terre, Eco Del Mar in Lerici and an ebike ride through the countryside. Highly recommend all of those and lots of pool time! Make sure to pack bug spray for eating outside. The small town of Gragnola had everything we needed - a pharmacy, grocery store, pizzeria and a soccer field. The Mountain views from the house are spectacular and we loved hearing the town church bells, the cow bells and birds singing in the morning. A great vacation even if a bit remote!

May Half Term

My family of 7 spent the week here at the end of May. It is an absolutely stunning property in the Tuscan countryside. The pictures do not do this place justice. The home, garden, pool and facilities are immaculate - you could not ask for the wrong thing. My son and I played table tennis for hours with the mountains as a backdrop! The mountain bikes are brand new, just make sure you have your energy drinks as there are lots of hills! The pizza oven was great fun and easy to use and all other kitchen utensils and appliances were available making any self catering a real breeze. The drive to the property is narrow and windy but we managed fine in a 9 seater van, just go slowly. There is lots to do in the area; trips to Lucca and Cinque Terra are recommended. The property is looked after by a local family, who are really friendly and helpful - although Google translate is a must!

Beautiful house and views, but a bit more remote than expected.

The house, grounds, and views are incredible. We took pictures of the mountains across the valley almost every time we went outside. The pizza oven is lots of fun. It's a great place to get away from the touristy places, relax and enjoy some authentic Italian small towns. The downside is that the property is located off the beaten path so be prepared to drive at least 15 minutes to get anywhere; the final 1 km to the house is on a very narrow, winding road with no room for error. The housekeepers that manage the property don't speak English, so come prepared to communicate via What's App and an Italian/English Google translator. The one thing we found a bit frustrating is that the owners require that garbage be removed from the property; this would not be a problem if there were garbage bins nearby but there are none so guests are expected to find and use garbage bins on someone else's property in nearby towns.

Thank you for your review. We are glad you really enjoyed the house and the peace, and the countryside - unfortunately the driving is the price to pay for staying somewhere so unique and non touristy - hopefully it was worth it! As you say those views really are out of this world. Apologies if communication was a little difficult sometimes - you were welcome to call our numbers which we gave you - we were available 24 hours per day and can easily help with communication. With rubbish collection, I am afraid that in rural Italy, understandably each property is not individually serviced (it would take forever!) and everyone goes to the local village and puts their rubbish in the communal bins, which are collected very regularly - many daily. The owners try to make it as easy as possible, leaving different bins for different waste and you may not have seen the note explaining where the full bags needed to be taken. I do agree it is a bit strange if you are used to collection at the door. Best wishes, Lorraine at tuscan-retreats

Tuscany Paradise

My family of 6 adults stayed one week in June 2023 at this fabulous Casa Lucia. If you are looking for a very private house with all the amenities possible and fabulous views in northern Tuscany, then this is the place for you. We took day trips in the area, all about an hour away: Cinque Terra, Lucca, Fonte dei Marmi, Sarzana, Fosdinovo, etc. We had dinner every evening at the house and highly recommend purchasing the fresh pizza cooked in the outdoor pizza oven. The views are breathtaking. The house staff were incredibly accommodating. Of note: the drive up the mountain to the house is just as harrowing as all the other reviewers have described. It is very narrow, no street lights, and passable only with smaller cars. We rented 2 cars for our party of 6 rather than a van for this reason. I also did not feel comfortable eating dinner at a restaurant since I didn't want to drive up that road in the dark after having wine.

Traumhaft!

Ein wunderschöner Urlaub in einem grandiosen, toll ausgestatteten Haus der keine Wünsche offen lässt. Alles wirklich hervorragend - die Kommunikation vor Ort lief sehr freundlich und stets hilfsbereit, das Haus und Garten sind sehr gepflegt und super sauber. Der Blick auf die Berge ist atemberaubend schön. Die Straße zum Haus ist in der Tat abenteuerlich und man sollte am besten Lebensmittel direkt mitbringen. Während des Aufenthalts haben wir uns jedes Einkaufen gut überlegt, da man schon eine Weile unterwegs ist. Für wen das kein Problem ist: absolute Buchungsempfehlung!

Un posto da sogno

La villa è situata in mezzo al verde in posizione isolata e silenziosa con un panorama mozzafiato sulla valle sottostante e sulle alpi apuane, ideale per un soggiorno in completo relax, senza un rumore o un disturbo. E' strutturata benissimo con un grande piano terra organizzato in modo da permette ad ognuno la propria privacy, mentre al piano superiore le quattro camere sono ampie e luminose, ciascuna con il proprio bagno ampio e confortevole. La piscina è semplicemente bellissima, affacciata sulla valle con una vista incredibile sulle montagne e la sua acqua è salata !!! L'accoglienza e il supporto da parte di Diego e Alessandra è stata quanto di meglio si potesse avere e a loro va un grosso ringraziamento. Veramente un soggiorno che sogneremo ancora per molto tempo!!!!
