"the property was charming andv ery well outfitted, The views were spectacular and the villa comfortable."

"Lovely property, exactly as described, with great outdoor space. Very nice pool, though a little chilly in late September! Our host, Francesco, was very helpful and quick to respond - excellent communication before and during our stay."

"The communication from Mike throughout was excellent. The property itself was spacious, well equipped and has several terraced areas, which are perfect for either a large family or 2 x families. Because it’s in the mountains the views are absolutely outstanding, we spent many evenings sipping wine and playing games on the terrace. The pool area is spacious with plenty of Sun loungers and there is a large parasol to give shade when needed. We did many a trip out but we especially enjoyed Lucca which is about 45 min away and Barga which is about 30 min away. The local shop ( down the mountain) has a reasonable supply of goods and lovely fresh bread. We also ate at Da Sandra’s which was very good and reasonable. All in all a thoroughly enjoyable holiday, which we didn’t want to end."

"I looked carefully for a spacious rural property with the right combination of rooms for a group of friends, walking distance from a small town as we didn’t have a car, this was exactly what I wanted. A peaceful and beautiful rustic house a short walk from delightful Barga with shops, restaurants and art galleries. Thank you, it was the perfect spot to relax for a few days."

"We absolutely loved the house. We were a large group with two families: 4 adults & 3 kids total. There was plenty of space, we were quite comfortable, & the outdoor areas were a paradise for families with kids. We spent almost all our time outside. The yard was absolutely huge, & securely fenced, the kids loved the pool, & there was a lovely table under an ivy covered pergola for meals al fresco. The owners live on the property, but you don’t even notice. When we did talk to them, they were wonderful & so very kind. Barga is such a charming town, & you’re surrounded by gorgeous mountains. The old city center is blocked off to traffic, & while it’s actually pretty small, it doesn’t feel like it at first; we loved getting lost in the labyrinth of hilly streets & mysterious staircases that wind out of sight. We didn’t consider it close enough to walk to, especially with kids, but it was a quick few minute drive to central parking lots on the outskirts & you walk in. We originally thought it would be a great base for visiting surrounding areas, but frankly we found driving through the mountains terrifying. We took day trips to Pisa & Lucca, & the Grotta del Vento, & that was all the driving we could stomach. But it was about 6 degrees C cooler up in the mountains, so it was a good trade off in July. And no giant crush of tourists. It was a magical week, & the highlight of our trip. 10/10 recommend."

"The villa itself was wonderful. Beautiful views!! Proximity to Barga & Lucca were great!"
