About this property

Entire place

Beautiful village house, pool. Walk to restaurant. WIFI. Flexible changeover.

Giammengo is a beautifully restored romantic stone property, with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms in the cottage, with a further 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom set across the little courtyard 10M from the house. There is a gorgeous pool and outdoor relaxing area.

Set in the depths of the Garfagnana, an hour or so North of Lucca, in a small village with a population of circa 300. There are village and mountain views. This house really is a treat!

Unusually for this area, one can walk to a pizzeria/restaurant (less than a 5 min walk) where one can dine al fresco on the terrace and take in the view, as well as a basic shop/bar, gelateria and butchers. For other facilities the local market town is less than a 10 minute drive away.

This 2 bedroom, 2 shower room village property, along with further bedroom and bathroom across the courtyard has been restored with lots of love and care, and retains its original character, but with the addition of modern shower rooms, beautiful furniture and stunning pool area complete with an outdoor kitchen, and no less than a choice of 3 eating areas, making it an ideal holiday home.

The cottage is tastefully presented, with a wonderful mixture of original flooring, beamed ceilings, chestnut windows, original balconies from bedrooms, blending perfectly with modern fireplace, pristine bathrooms, country kitchen and bang up to date outdoor area with good size modern pool.

This place really is a treat!

In more detail the property is arranged as follows:

Kitchen/diner with oven, hob, microwave, fridge, coffee machine. Double doors leading to outdoor area.

Garfagnana greatness
5 of us had a wonderful stay. The pictures don't do it justice; the views over this beautiful part of Tuscany are amazing and the property / its facilities are superbly designed and finished to a very high quality. The outdoor spaces aren't overlooked at all and the interior provided a welcome relief from the heat. Good walks from the property too. Oh and very few mosquitos! Patricia was at the property during our stay and was very discrete. She booked us into the local restaurant and made excellent recommendations about things to do in the local area. The food and drink (in the supermarkets and restaurants) was consistently excellent quality and low price.

Perfect Tuscan Escape!
My family of four (2 teen sons) stayed at this beautiful property in June. It is a perfect base for exploring Garfagnana by car and the property is delightful. There are 2 great restaurants within a 3-4 minute walk. The hosts are so welcoming and accomodating; it was a great overall experience. The management company sent great information about the area ahead of time (which was super helpful.) Although a little tricky to initially locate the property, it is easily accessible once you know where you are going. This was our first trip to Tuscany. I hope to stay here (same property) again!

Wonderful Holiday
I would highly recommend this property for a holiday. The property itself was ideal. It was of a very high standard. The location was perfect. We could walk to the local restaurant which had lovely food and friendly staff. There are lots of things to see locally and you could use the train to go further afield. The proprietors were wonderful. They were very informative and made us feel very welcome. We will definitely come back to this villa again. We cannot recommend highly enough Miriam and Charles

Comfortable house in a fantastic location
The property is a very good standard and was perfect for the two of us. The hosts were friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed the facilities of the pool and outdoor kitchen/dining which were perfect for taking in the amazing views. We would certainly stay there again.

The ultimate place to stay and relax
We are very happy that we found this beautiful villa, it has everything you need for a lovely holiday. We cannot praise the quality of the property enough, the high standard and the Hosts Patricia and Geir were fantastic. They have spend a lot of time on this property and they should be very proud of it! The location of this villa is peaceful and has some fantastic views over the beautiful valley with the many small village churches chiming their bells throughout the day. The pool area is fantastic with BBQ/kitchen area overlooking a superb 180 degrees view, it excels itself further as the sun sets. As mentioned earlier, the host are great and are not at all intrusive but are there if needed and can give great tips of places to see and dine. We would like to thank them both for giving us such a lovely place to stay and letting us relax. We will definitely return, but we are worried that because its such a nice villa it may be hard to reserve in the future because it will be so popular. Graham and Christine

Stunning location and beautiful facilities - the owners couldn't do enough for us.
We had an amazing trip to Tuscany. The villa in Villetta was a perfect base for our first visit to the region and the facilities provided were perfect. When we arrived, we were greeted by the owner, who gave us a tour and was happy to help with information about the local area. The villa is a recent development on their plot, and so includes lots of modern touches. We had access to a washing machine and a freezer, and had exclusive use of the pool area for the whole week. This included the BBQ, a fully fitted outdoor kitchen (with another fridge / sink) and the permanent views across the valley - it was lovely to watch the changing views at different times of the day! Inside the villa was very comfortable, two good sized double rooms, two separate bathrooms and there was everything we needed to cook meals for ourselves. However, the temptation to walk 5 mins up the hill to the Pizzeria Il Grotto was difficult to resist. Very friendly staff and customers, and the food was gorgeous. We spent several evening there enjoying the pizza, the beer, the green apple juice and, of course, the gelato!! The atmosphere was a bit tense during the England Semi-final match - but there was plenty of friendly banter! The train station was a 5 min walk down the hill, perfect to trips to local towns/cities Castelnuovo Di Garfagnana, Lucca and Pisa - and the trains were clean and punctual. We also went for lovely walks in the local area, enjoying the views from the viaduct and then swimming in the river below it, which was very refreshing. I would also recommend a visit to the hill top fort higher up the valley, where local volunteers showed us how to use a Trebuchet (a massive medieval catapult). They were passionate about the work they have done to rescue the fort from dereliction, and it was a lovely place to visit on a lazy afternoon. Overall, the villa and the region were a perfect introduction to Tuscany and we will be returning. The owners couldn't do enough for us, but yet respected our privacy and it was lovely to chat to them about the work they have put into developing their home and this lovely villa. We would certainly love to return for another visit, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. Thanks for a wonderful holiday, and see you again soon.

Traumurlaub in der Toskana
Mit unseren beiden Söhnen haben wir 10 Tage in dieser einmalig schönen Villa verbracht und einen fantastischen Urlaub bei den wundervollen Gastgebern Patricia und Geir erlebt. Das absolute Highlight ist der Pool mit der Außenküche und einem fantastischen Blick auf die Berge. In Laufweite ist eine Pizzeria / Gelateria / Lebensmittelladen, in der man alles für den täglichen Bedarf findet und sehr gut essen kann. Die Lage ist super geeignet für Tagesausflüge. So waren wir in Pisa, Lucca, am Strand bei Viareggio und haben auch die nahen Berge, Bergseen, Höhlen und Festungen erkundet. Wir können auch sehr empfehlen, ein E-Mountainbike auszuleihen. Dadurch kann man die wunderschöne Umgebung erkunden. Uns hat es so gut gefallen, dass wir bereits einen weiteren Urlaub in dieser Villa planen…
