Casa Cerú - Special house with special features

We were a bit unlucky. Due to a thunderstorm about two weeks before the Wi-Fi didn’t work and some rain came through the tiles which had been displaced by the storm. Wilma, the housekeeper tried her best. She is a wonderful helpful person who contributes a lot to the nice and welcome atmosphere at Casa Cerú. The views from the windows are spectacular, and the kitchen is really well equipped.

Traumvilla in idyllischer Umgebung

Dieses Ferienhaus hat alles, was man sich wünscht. Es ist wunderschön, ursprünglich und sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Vier Personen finden hier mehr als ausreichend Platz. Mit zwei Balkonen und einer großen Terrasse bietet die Villa auch im Außenbereich herrlichsten Komfort. An heißen Sommertagen sind die Innenräume in dem rustikalen Gemäuer angenehm kühl. Die Ausstattung lässt keine Wünsche offen und die Lage ist einfach wundervoll. Wilma war uns eine hervorragende, zuvorkommende Gastgeberin. Wir haben uns in Casa Ceru und das kleine Bergdorf Cardoso verliebt. Danke für diesen wunderschönen Aufenthalt in der Toskana!

A wonderful place !

Eine tolle Ferienwohnung mit ganz besonderem Flair, wunderschön und sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Die Anfahrt zur Wohnung selbst ist ein bisschen abenteuerlich bergauf, aber man wird mit einem sensationellen Blick aus den Fenstern und vom Balkon belohnt. Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit und kommen gerne wieder!

Ein ganz besonderer Ort

Wir haben einen wunderbaren Urlaub in Cardoso verbracht. Das Haus ist ein Traum. Es ist perfekt ausgestattet und mit großem Gespür für die historische Bausubstanz renoviert und eingerichtet worden. Bis ins kleinste Detail ist alles sehr geschmackvoll und stimmig. Der Blick auf die grünen Berge von der Loggia und der Gartenterrasse ist grandios. Besten Dank an Angela für die unkomplizierte Abwicklung der Buchung und all die wertvollen Hinweise zu Haus und Umgebung!

A very peaceful place in a stunning surrounding

Cardoso 2016. We (family with two kinds) will remember our stay here for a long time. The house Casa Ceru is a truly beautiful house with a little castle feel! The interiour is beautifully decorated and is very spacious. I really loved the well equiped kitchen to prepare all the delicious Tuscan food. Most of the time we spend on the gardenterrace. The view over the green valley is great, both during the day and late at night under the bright stars. We did some long trekkings, one starts just behind the house. There is a nice little river down the valley, where we had some refreshing moments (ideal for little children to play in the water). We went to Lucca, Florence and Pisa, all within easy reach and we went to the sea and we certainly recommend the mountainroad from Garfagnana, with some breathtaking mountains (also very nice to do some trekking here!). Cardoso is also very close to Barga, a really nice little town with several good restaurants to enjoy a relaxing evening. Angela, thank you very much for the beautiful house and especially for your good care and information beforehand. It made us feel at home even before we arrived! All the best, Marc
Response from VrboOwner on 22 Mar, 2020
Dear Marc, You're most welcome. It is with great pleasure we welcomed you and your family and thrilled to hear you enjoyed the house as it was intended with the bonus of being located on such a beautiful valley. Making it so peaceful and serene. All the best to and yours.

Wunderschönes Haus in toller (sehr einsamer) Lage

Das Haus ist fantastisch eingerichtet, super toll restauriert und sehr sauber! Wir wussten dass wir recht einsam liegen, wollten das auch, im Urlaub war es dann aber mit 3 Kindern doch ein wenig zu weit weg vom Meer... aber alles drumherum war wirklich toll! Die Restaurant Tipps waren super, ganz besonders der Italiener unten im Naturreservat! Ganz besonderen Dank auch noch mal an die Vermieter, ein sehr netter Kontakt! Danke, Angela!!! Ich kann es nur wiederholen: wunderschönes Haus in einsamer, toller Berglage! Die Bilder des Hauses sind schon eindrucksvoll, das Haus selber übertrifft es noch!

A little piece of heaven

When we first opened our eyes and looked out the window of the bedroom we could not believe . . . the view which was spectacular, and the finishes throughout extremely well chosen. The Villa was clean, and quiet, and so comfortable making it difficult to leave and visit the numerous attractions, go shopping and to restaurants (which were plentiful - great recommendations from the owners of where to eat). Cannot wait to go back and we can honestly say this has been the Best Holiday EVER. Patricia

Casa Ceru - a stunning Italian villa

We had the most wonderful stay in this delightful villa for a week in August. It was perfectly decorated and has the most beautiful soft furnishings. Added to this there were two terraces that looked over the wooded valley beyond, as well as a perfectly designed small garden for sitting out in with a glass of bubbly. A visit to Lucca was one of the highlights of our stay no more than an hour away. We would highly recommend this villa as a place to stay in northern Tuscany.

Whowww..., what a wonderfull Zenn house!

Whowww...., what a wonderfull house, we all loved it. It is adorable!!!! It was really perfect, everything is geared to aker, lovely! We all came to rest, the house is really zenn.... We loved the beds, they are very comfortable! In the evening we loved to sit outside in de garden wich is lovely too, or at the balcony and we heard the wolves howling! We went down the hill, to the street wich you can see from the bedroom, and we took photo’s over there off Casa Ceru. There is also a small river where we have a swim. It is a natur reserve down there, very lovely... We went to the town Barga and to Luca, they are lovely places to go. We enjoy our staying at Casa Ceru very much! We would really love to go back again some time!

A taste of perfection ...

Our family (2 adults + 2 children) had an unforgetable time in Casa Ceru this summer. The picturesque village of Cardoso is a like a living medieval outdoor-museum with outstanding views. And Casa Ceru on the top of the village is like a pearl in it. We have traveled quite a lot, but have never seen such a such a villa which is constructed with so great determination, high quality and good taste in every detail. And I could say there is more artistical and architectural details and historical items in the villa itself than in many small museums back home. The location of the villa is perfect for long walks, hiking and jogging and we took the best out of that possibility almost every morning. We felt really privileged to stay our 10-days holiday in Casa Ceru and we recommend these beautiful premises with pleasure!

Like a dream

We were completely overwhelmed by the beauty of Casa Ceru - sitting on one of the terraces, full moon, clear sky, the lovely singing of the birds in the evening, listening to Chopin's Nocturnes - this was really like a dream! Thank you for this wonderful holidays - we enjoyed it very very much and we hope that we will return here soon. Also our daughter was extremely happy here!

Amazing Tuscan Experience.........

This was our second visit to Casa Ceru and it did not disappoint. The views were absolutely amazing from our bedroom window and terraces. With the garden complete it made our visit even more memorable and unforgettable. The garden is absolutely calming and zen like and a perfect place to have our morning coffee. One of the highlights of our trip was when we ventured out to Forte di Marme and what a beautiful oceanside resort town it is. We will definitely be making this an annual visit.

Tranquille, authentic, gorgeous

A group of four of us stayed and had a fantastic time. The location is stunning, the amenities are beautiful, and the people in the area are very friendly and accommodating. We stayed for 8 nights and could easily have stayed for another 8. We rented a compact car which came in handy on the windy roads in the area. Driving through the mountains was an unforgettable experience as was hiking in Garfagnana. My favourite thing to do in the morning was opening the windows, most of which open up to the gorgeous sun drenched valley. We spent a lot of time checking out the area which is historic and beautiful, but we wished we had spent more time around the place just relaxing. The best vacation that any of us can remember and we definitely look forward to our next visit!

Under the Tuscan Sun

I just wanted to express our delight with our stay at your house. Your house is simply beautiful! We spent an amazing 2 weeks (4 adults) and the location was perfect. We really enjoyed our hikes in the mountains as it was such a perfect base for the Garfagnana and Lucca. All the amenities are top notch and the 'welcome basket' is a lovely touch. The narrow road up to the house (not the village road) requires a small car and is a bit scary at first but we did get used to it. However, I would advise not to drive anything larger than a compact. It was nice that we could load and unload right near the house. I'm really looking forward to returning and dining al fresco (in the garden) as they were just starting to work on the garden just as our 2 weeks were coming to an end. If the rest of the house is any indication ....I'm sure it will be just gorgeous! We would definitely recommend this house to anyone who wants to experience a true Tuscan holiday.
