Villa in Tuscany with salt water private pool, complimentary wine, stunning view

A lovely country villa, Casa Natalina, is located in the stunning Garfagnana region of Northern Tuscany, a lush green valley between the Appenine and Apuane Mountains.

The property features a large 12 x 5 metre saltwater pool, complemented by a 3 x 3 metre shallow children's pool with wide steps for easy access. The pool area also includes a solar-heated shower, a sun patio with loungers, and beautifully landscaped garden surroundings offering breathtaking views.

A patio door leads from the lounge onto a balcony, while the kitchen opens onto a fine outdoor dining patio, with panoramic views, shaded by a sun umbrella.

The back garden boasts a second sun patio with outdoor furniture, pizza oven, a hammock, and partial shade from fruit trees. Guests can also enjoy the owner's complementary Chianti wine, sourced from their vineyard. Upon arrival, the owners provide a welcome pack to help you settle in and start your stay off right.

The house is spread over three levels, with both the bottom and first floors situated at ground level due to the graduated design of the garden. This unique layout ensures easy access to outdoor spaces from multiple levels, enhancing the charm and functionality of the property.

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're thrilled to hear you and your family had such a fantastic week enjoying the atmosphere, scenery, and well-equipped kitchen—it really is a special place. We’re guessing there was a little typo and you meant a family of 4 rather than 41 (though that would have been quite the gathering!). In any case, we're so pleased the house suited your needs and helped make your stay memorable. We’d love to welcome you back in the future. As a thank you, we’re happy to offer you a returner’s discount if you book again with us or at any Friends of Tuscany property—just mention your previous stay when you get in touch. Thanks again, and we hope to see you back in Tuscany soon! Best wishes, Molly Friends of Tuscany

Beautiful!

We had a fantastic holiday here. The views are absolutely stunning and we spent a lot of time enjoying them by the pool. Any direction you drive, there are gorgeous little hillside villages and the owners recommendations for restaurants are brilliant - do not miss the multi course set Sunday lunch at Hotel Panoramica! Swimming at the waterfall and cooking in the wood fired pizza oven were also highlights. We are missing waking up to those views!

Idyllic Italy

Spacious, private house in peaceful surroundings. We had a fabulous two weeks here with lots of room for all to spread out. The pool is the shining star! Easy distances to lovely towns to wander and so, so many outdoor activites to keep the adrenaline junkies happy. Highly recommended canyoning with Apians adventures and a visit to Canyon park Lucca for the most amazing SUP and zip line experiences. Fabulous last evening meal at Il Pozzo after we had stuffed ourselves on homemade wood-fired pizzas during our stay!

What an amazing stay

This is such a wonderful property in a truly beautiful location. The photos of the property give a true depiction of the grounds, the outdoor sitting area is perfect for enjoying a meal looking over the stunning Mountain View . The pool area is perfect for relaxing after enjoying days out around the local and farther area. The local villages are beautiful. The welcome pack was well thought out, with milk, bread, butter, eggs, pasta ragu sauce, fruit and herbs. Along side the red wine, cold beers and water. The fresh cut flowers dotted around the property was a lovely touch. Susan, Andrew & Molly were fabulous hosts, checking everything was ok on arrival and only a message click away for any queries about the local area.Thank you so much for allowing us to stay in your beautiful accomodation

A little bit of Heaven

We stayed at Casa Natelina for a week and our only regret is we didn't stay longer!! The house was superbly equipped with everything we needed and we had a lovely welcome pack on arrival. We arrived late in the evening and didn't have our bearings as yet so this was so very welcome! The house was clean and well maintained throughout. Our favourite thing to do was bbq on the outside deck overlooking the mountains. The outdoor spaces were great and the views simply spectacular! You'd be hard pushed to find a more stunning outlook from the (very large!) swimming pool in all directions. When it got a little too hot there was a wonderful gazebo to relax under and read. Heavenly!! We'll be back!

Thank you for taking the time to write a review of our house. It's so good to hear from people who really appreciate our house and the beautiful environment of this part of the Garfagnana. You can spend all day doing nothing around the house and pool, but as you know there's also so much to do in the area. We hope to meet you again the next time you come.

Superb swimming pool, impressive view, beautiful garden. Large terraced house with all the necessary equipment (including dishwasher, freezer, washing machine). The presence of neighbors did not bother us too much. The bedding is average. The pool is a little too cold. The washing machine does not spin. When it rains heavily, water infiltrations appear (windows, doors and roof / ceiling) some of which (roof / ceiling) are very noisy and disturb sleep at night. The presence of mosquitoes and other biting insects bothered us but we understand that it is normal to have them in the countryside. The wifi worked well except for the first three days, but the cellular network works very well. We very much appreciated the welcome pack. Thank you !

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We are delighted that you enjoyed the swimming pool, garden, views, and welcome pack. During your stay, the region experienced unusually heavy thunderstorms for the season, which temporarily lowered the pool temperature and affected Wi-Fi performance for the first few days. Thankfully, the cellular signal in the area is very strong. The house has traditional terracotta roof tiles with an attic space between the roof and the bedrooms. During heavy rain, it is normal to hear the sound of rain on any roof. The washing machine is functioning correctly, and we would have been happy to guide you on the correct settings if contacted during your stay. We always encourage guests to reach out immediately so that any issues can be resolved in real time. We are pleased that you found the house well-equipped. Best wishes, Molly Friends of Tuscany Ltd

A beautyfull Place

Perfekte Lage für Naturliebhaber - die Terasse mit großem Sitzrondell lädt zum tollen Panoramablick ein. Grill u. Pizzaofen sorgen für die kulinarischen Highlights. Eine weitere positive Erwähnung gilt dem großzügigen Pool, der keine Wünsche offen lässt. Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet , so dass der Selbstverpflegung nichts in Wege steht. Thema Betten, ...Empfindungssache ;0) Wir haben sehr gut geschlafen, was nicht zuletzt auch an der Atmosphäre des alten Landhauses lag. Fazit: Sehr empfehlenswert mit einem Wehrmutszropfen. Der Parkplatz liegt ca. 40-50m vom Hauseingang entfernt dieser ist nur mühselig mit dem normalen PKW erreichbar. (Be+entladen)Fzg. Mit Allrad u. erhöhter Bodenfreiheit haben hier Vorteile...

Sehr sehr ruhig Lage! Ein wunderschöner Blick von der Sitzgruppe und vom Pool. Wow! Lange, sehr kurvenreiche Fahrt bis zur Wohnung. Das Haus ist direkt mit einem anderem Objekt zusammengebaut. Wir hatten trotzdem unsere Ruhe. Die Sitzgruppe, Liegestühle, Bäder und Küchengeräte sind schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen. (Ist aber alles aus den Bildern ersichtlich!)

A slice of heaven

Our two families had a wonderful time at Casa Natalina. The house is an attached home with a few other homes on the property, but the large property was laid out so that we had plenty of privacy. The house and pool are very clean and the kitchen well outfitted. We spent a lot of time using the wonderful outdoor spaces that included several places to eat and relax, or simply swing in the hammock (which my son loved.) The pizza oven was a huge hit! We had a lot of fun trying new combinations using local ingredients to come up with the perfect pizza pie. Tip... the pre-made dough at the markets that comes in bags is excellent and a huge timesaver. The views from the pool were extraordinary and we spent many hours either lounging by the pool or swimming. There is an attached splash pool which was popular with the youngest. Our kind hosts, Susan and Andrew, were incredibly responsive to any questions and requests that we had. They also provided a comprehensive list of activities and welcomed us with a very thoughtful basket filled with wine and food. After a very long drive, we were also grateful that we had previously arranged to have a delicious meal provided by Fay and Peter which made for a very relaxing evening. The area is perfect if you are interested in hiking and mountain biking and enjoying nature or visiting the nearby villages and Lucca. We enjoyed our trip immensely and hope to return.

Wonderful days in Villa Collemandina!

We had such a wonderful stay in Collemandina in the house that Susan, Molly and Andrew makes every effort to ensure that you have a fabulous stay in. And that's exactly what we had! We have stayed in Tuscany on multiple occasions enjoying many beautiful houses but this one top the list honestly! Well functional kitchen, fantastic bedrooms and likewise bathrooms and not the least a patio and pool area with literally unbelievable view! Needless to say that the house was spotless clean on arrival and to our surprise our hosts made us feel even more welcome with a beautiful welcome package with foot, wine and beers - everything that made sure that you have a good first night in the house. And did I mentioned - the wine is from their own winery - and it is great! Lastly we want to mention that our vacation was planned to take place in the summer of ´20 but was postponed for obvious reasons. But Molly and Susan have been so cooperative accommodating new dates for us and we are grateful for this. In conclusion: A fantastic venue with fantastic hosts. Couldn't recommend this more warmly!

An unbeatable view!

We were a group of five friends (30+) and stayed for 11 days in the beautiful Casa Natalina. What I guess is important to mention: There were two more vacation homes in another part of the building but they have their own pools and the garden is not observably so you have lots of privacy when relaxing in there. There are quite some small restaurants in the area with very delicious food for a low price but you definitely need a car to go there and you shouldn't be afraid of very narrow winding streets. The house itself was beautiful. It had its own nostalgic charme as it was very old (I guess it might be much more than 100 years) but accurately renovated with all amenities of the present time and lovely decorated. And the location was just gorgeous!!!! The big beautiful garden had a huge well serviced pool with a stunning, breathtaking view into the valley and towards the mountains and small villages opposite. It was much nicer than shown on the pictures!!!!! We had a really great time in Villa Natalina and can highly recommend it to everyone;)

Lovely old villa in spectacular setting

We had a great week in Casa Natalina in Villa Collemandina. There were four of us including our two teenage boys who were thrilled that the wifi was reliable and fast. The house itself is the end of a small terrace of three properties but we didn't hear a thing through the walls or from the other neighbours. It's an old villa with stone floors and staircases inside (no creaky floorboards!) and the kitchen had everything you need to cook a decent meal. The welcome basket was excellent and there was enough gorgeous wine in the flagon to pickle anyone's liver! We were slightly unlucky with the weather as the hot spell broke the day after we arrived and we had a couple of days of thundery rain (torrential on the first day of it) but it warmed up a bit by the Wednesday, although cooler than it was in the UK and a lot windier. The views over the mountains are amazing and the pool is huge and quite warm. It was also nice that it was salt water rather than chlorinated. It's about a half hour walk to the local shop, which is more of an Arkwright's Open All Hours type of thing, but there are bigger supermarkets in Castelnuovo di Garfagnana, which is only about 15 minutes' drive away. We had good takeaway pizza from the little trattoria in Villa Collemandina as they do pizzas on Saturday and Sunday nights. You can also get takeaway pizza from the trattoria in Corfino, which is the second of the two villages you come to if you go over the bridge you can see from the villa (but we didn't try it as we'd already had pizza twice by then!). Corfino also had good local bread, honey and cheeses. We tended to avoid eating out much because of Covid19 but there were lots of restaurants in Castelnuovo di Garfagnana had we wanted them. I'd definitely recommend a stay in Casa Natalina. Friends of Tuscany were great with all the communication too.

This house is not worth the price we paid for it.

Casa Natalina is in many ways a lovely and charming house with a stunning view and some people might become impressed by this, but it lacks the finesse and maintenance to be called a villa. The overall maintenance is of a very low standard and the texts on Friends of Tuscany's websites are definitely overly positive compared to what they offer. There is no extractor hood, no mountain bikes 'due to Covid' (but we live in Italy and all repair shops were open during the 6 weeks before our arrival), parts of walls and paintings were very moldy, a lot of small things not maintained (rickety toilet seat, door of the dishwasher and coat rack came loose), the grass was not mowed when we came and when they mowed it, they missed a lot of parts, downstairs the bathroom remains wet for a very long time. Landlord rules are ignored: people walk in and out without prior appointment. The house is NOT a detached house as advertised: the terraces on both sides of the house are not free from the neighbors' view and some days when we went to bed we could hear the neighbours loud and clear, which made it difficult to sleep. There was no updated information about the arrival time and departure time. Our contract was cancelled unilaterally after one day due to 'no updated information on the Homeaway website' and when we wanted to book again all conditions were changed. But also in the house we found outdated information about the carbage. However, more important, we were not taken seriously when we had a problem with the water heater. 5 people were 4,5 days without hot water.
