The owner, Franco, is amazing. The instructions and information we received before arrival, check in process, recommendations of restaurants, arranging a van to take us to the station - all incredibly helpful. And even afterwards if you leave your passport behind...The villa is huge and the photos don't do it justice, Garden was dry when we were there in August (35 degrees every day) but the pool is large, cool and maintained almost every day. Plenty of sun loungers, outside tables and chairs for eating etc. Rooms are large, beds comfortable and bedding/towels etc all good quality. Pots, pans, glasses, crockery - everything is on hand.The location is perfect. Monte Carlo is on your doorstep - a beautiful ancient walled town on the hill - and great for great restaurants and bars. Marginone is less pretty but good for supplies and more restaurants, We only went to Altopascio for the big well stocked supermarkets but there is a lovely town centre with more bars and restaurants if you need a bigger selection. We had day trips to Pisa, Camaiore beach, Montecatini (via the Funicular) but most of the time lazed about at the villa.If you want a modern, pristine, perfectly presented villa, manicured lawn, luxury inside and out - this is NOT the place for you and the price reflects that.However, if you want a taste of authentic Tuscany hosted by one of the nicest guys you could meet (in what was his family home), then I would wholehearededly recommend.

Our 5 days stay in this house was above our expectations. Franco, the owner was incredibly helpful and since it was a birthday celebration he was especially attentive. The rooms are large and airy with comfortable beds, amazing garden and great and clean pool. The agency that rents out is professional, quick to respond and very helpful.And - the chefs they provided to us were the best we have experienced in terms of taste, setting, and cleaning. We will happily return here!!

This villa had absolutely everything you could wish for and more. The property itself was stunning — a beautiful original villa full of character, charm, and authenticity, while still offering all the comfort and space needed for a relaxing stay. Every part of the villa was thoughtfully maintained, making it feel both luxurious and welcoming from the moment we arrived.Franco was an exceptional host throughout our stay. He took the time to personally walk us through the property, explaining everything clearly and making sure we felt completely comfortable and at home. His warmth, attentiveness, and genuine hospitality made a huge difference and added a very personal touch to the entire experience.We stayed here for a large family celebration, and honestly, we could not have chosen a better place. The villa was perfect for bringing everyone together, with plenty of space for both socialising and relaxing. It created such a special atmosphere for making unforgettable memories with family and friends. We would highly recommend this villa to anyone looking for a unique, beautiful, and memorable place to stay, especially for special occasions or group gatherings.

A beautiful setting for our Italy adventure. We loved the quiet location that was close to so much. We were not expecting Montecarlo to be so charming. Close to Lucca (a favorite) and some great wineries.
The house was beautiful and clean. Pool was lovely and someone came every day to keep it clean.
We would definitely consider returning.

The Villa met all of our expectations, it was private, comfortable & beautiful; as well as being a period building carefully restored by it's original family owner. The location is perfect, being withing walking distance of three villages. There are several choices of restaurants & pizzerias within a short walk.

A week in Tuscany
Our arrival was very early due to a flight change, but Franco did a great job in accommodating us as soon as he could, and welcomed us with drinks and sandwiches. The property lacked nothing, and being split into 3 areas was perfect for a mixture of adults and children. The swimming pool was a must for the very hot weather, and was maintained regularly. Plenty of sunbeds around the pool, and the garden is really nice and has wonderful views. All in all, a great stay.

Wonderful family holiday!
We were a family group of 13 & felt the house met all our needs. Franco greeted us warmly and was on hand with lots of help. We loved the beautiful town of Montecarlo, a 20 minute walk away, where we enjoyed our first lunch together & several evenings. Spent an afternoon locally on a vineyard tour which was superb. The villa was brilliantly located for day trips into Lucca, Florence & Pizza. The pool was beautiful and relaxing & enjoyed by the whole group. It was cleaned regularly throughout our stay.

Excellent value for money spacious great pool
The property is divided into a cottage and two large apartments, making it perfect for multi-generational family holidays. Great infinity pool, all at one depth. Air con is in hallways and communal areas, rather than bedrooms, but works effectively. Beautiful gardens and BBQ area. The location is a 10 minute walk from a few restaurants, and a short drive to Montecarlo for a better choice. Franco, the owner, is very attentive and responsive. I highly recommend, and would be very happy to return.

A wonderful week in Franco's villa. Lovely location - we did the walk up to Montecarlo most days to sample some of the local restaurants and coffee shops - and an easy drive into Altopascio for food shopping. The villa was well laid out for a group of 13 of us ranging from 9 to 49 and pretty well equipped including pool inflatables and sun loungers for the lovely infinity pool. Franco was very helpful and hospitable. Only slight criticisms are that the aircon on the top floor is not really strong enough to support the. 38 degree weather we had, plastic cups would be useful for the kids and around the pool (we picked some up at the supermarket) and an electric car charging point would be amazing as there appear to be a lot locally which don't work!All in all however, a great house and we all had a brilliant time.

Perfect location in Tuscany
We planned our family vacation with 14 of us. The pictures don’t do the property justice. There are 3 private areas for sleeping with kitchens. Hanging by the pool is amazing! By car, we were 45 minutes from Florence, 1 hour and 15 minutes from Cinque Terre and only 25 from Pisa. Perfect mid location. There is a small, walled town called Montecarlo s few minutes by car up the road. Lucca, is sbout 20 minutes and offers so much with its walled city, restaurants, activities! The owner was so accommodating and wanted us to enjoy our time. Definitely a great spot for a family or multiple family location!

Our time in Tuscany
Our time in Tuscany was absolutely wonderful, Franco was such a great host, he had a snack and a beverage waiting for us and it was a pleasure to visit with him. The Villa was so wonderful and we all had a hard time leaving, the adorable little annex was my favourite. We had 4 couples and we each had our own little spaces with our own bathrooms. The pool was refreshing at the end of a hot day and the Restaraunts in Monte Carlo, San Salvatore and Marginone were spectacular. Absolutely loved our Villa, would love to stay again!!
Also thankyou Marie at Tuscany retreats for all the arranging of the private Chef and car transfers, she was absolutely wonderful! Sabrina the private Chef and Lucca were wonderful people and the Dinner was amazing!

Amazing place in Tuscany
We had the most amazing time in Franco’s beautiful place. Everything was perfect for 2 families with 11 persons, plenty of space and comfort. Our highlight was the infinity pool with the most beautiful views over the Tuscan countryside. The villa was spacious, elegant and comfortable. Having air conditioning in the bedrooms was an extra bonus. Our 22y old son and his girlfriend slept in the garden house which was also spacious and comfortable with air con. The location is great for visiting Lucca, Florence, Pisa and the seaside. Montecarlo itself was charming with lovely bars and restaurants and it was surprisingly quiet considering it was high season. We loved it there.
We can’t thank Franco enough for his kindness and all the great information he gave us. We’d love to come back.
Grazie mille!

Great time in Marginone
We had wonderful vacations in Marginone. We were 13, the same family. The house is great giving privacy to every couple. The space around the house is huge and the pool large enough for all of us. The owner, Franco, is extremely nice and helpful. The house is a 15m walk or so from Montecarlo which is a beautiful little town where you can go and enjoy any restaurants. A great surprise was the restaurant Marinelli in Marginone. The food is excellent, so is the service.
we would definitely recommend this place for a family vacation like we had i.e. grand parents, children and grand children!
Lorraine from the agency was very responsive.

Traditional Tuscan Home
This was a very quiet nice old house with a beautiful garden and pool. The location was perfect near a small village of MonteCarlo that was absolutely adorable. It was an easy drive into Florence and surrounded by wineries. In MonteCarlo the food was wonderful and the people were so friendly. The check in process was wonderful and the guys we so sweet and told us all about the property. It's such a nice home and the size was perfect. Unfortunately our family isn't used to only having AC in the bedrooms and even with the AC on it was still very very warm. Our host was nice enough to bring us fans but even with the fans it was still warm. When you open the windows in the main part of the house there are no screens so we had a fun guest join us that we named Sticky Feet (A rather large lizard) but also some not so fun mosquitos that decided to make a meal on us. Over all if you want a traditional Tuscan house with a ton of history this home is for you. Its not for a family looking for all of the modern conveniences of the US.

Thank you for your review. We are happy to hear you loved the location and the villa. We are sorry that you found the villa hot. Villas in Tuscany are designed to keep naturally cool if you keep shutters and windows closed in the heat of the day and open them when it is beautifully cool. This is why most places in this area do not have aircon and only rarely have fans. I think maybe we should have explained how to keep the heat out.... Anyway, good to hear that overall this was a good place to stay . Best wishes, Lorraine from tuscan-retreats

Beautiful house, great host
We stayed one week with our family. House was clean and really spacious with italian history included in interior decoration. Everything in the house functioned well and there wasn’t any problems. Host’s friend Marcello even cleaned the pool every morning. Maybe only difficult thing to get hang of was recycling of the trashes, as it was bit complicated system with specific dates of pick-up for different trashes. But with the help of our host we managed to handle it :)
Views from villa were beautiful to both sides, downhill vista to the village of Marginone and valleys, and looking up was medieval village of Montecarlo. Both villages were in walking distance, around 1,5 km.
Lastly, our host Franco was such a lovely person and true gentleman! Everything worked with him and he was friendly and helpful. We were celebrating my 50th birthday, and asked Franco could he arrange some kind of birthday dinner for us, and he said of course. Dinner cost us barely anything and we thought he would order some kind of catering for us, but turned out that he was going to cook 4 course dinner for us by himself! Dinner was delicious and something we will remember forever.

Wunderschönes Haus inmitten eines geräumigen Grundstücks. Unseren drei Familien hat es während des Aufenthalts an absolut Nichts gefehlt. Sehr viel Platz drinnen und draußen, tolle Kommunikation mit Franco. Wir freuen uns schon auf das nächste Mal (hoffentlich!).

belle demeure, beau jardin, belle piscine. Malgré tout, il y a des imperfections au regard du prix : la piscine est devenue verte en milieu de séjour; des appareils ménagers sont à changer ( cafetière électrique par exemple). Le lave vaisselle était sale. La climatisation aurait du être mise en route avant notre arrivée la 1ere nuit a été difficile car température très élevée. De manière générale, le séjour était satisfaisant.

Thank you and we are pleased that you enjoyed the house, gardens and pool overall.
We are sorry that the coffee maker and dishwasher were not mentioned during your stay, as our local team would have been very happy to resolve these immediately.
We sincerely apologise for the temporary deterioration in the appearance of the pool which was beyond our control. Unfortunately, as you know the area experienced unprecedented severe storms during this period. The exceptionally heavy rainfall changed the water quality and the disruption to the electricity supply interrupted the pool circulation for a day. The pool is tested daily, but it took 2 days to fully rectify. This was an area wide issue.
Regarding the air con, this is available throughout guests' stays and is operated in accordance with local guidelines which include not cooling when empty, although it was on whilst the cleaners prepped earlier in the day. Temperatures during this period and pre storms reached around 40°C, making cooling more challenging than usual.
We are pleased that, despite these issues, you enjoyed your stay and found the property and its setting beautiful, and thank you for your feedback.
Best wishes, Lorraine at tuscan-retreats

Otrolig fastighet med 3 separa boenden som passade oss perfekt, 13 personer i 3 familjer. Poolen var fantastisk med utsikt över dalen, sköttes perfekt av poolmannen. Trevlig promenad till montecarlo där olika restauranger fanns och ännu vackrare utsikt. Franco, ägaren var lätt att få kontakt med, en mystisk händelse, 2 par skor försvann en dag när vi åkt till stranden utanför Pisa, de stod utanför dörren.Vi är mycket nöjda med allt. Ann
