What a find, this has to be the most amazing and beautiful settting ever, so peaceful all you can hear is the birds, cow bells and crickets. Beautiful house with everything you need and amazing views. The love and attention Tim and Leo have put into this house is obvious, beautifully restored to the correct style in keeping with the Tuscan countryside. The swimming pool is set away from the house and is an amazing setting overlooking the Tuscan hills and the church bell tower which chimes from 6am so makes sure you close the shutters, albeit I’d given anything to hear that everyday. Lucia the neighbour is on hand if you need anything and passes by each day, as do some neighbours who give a friendly wave. It was paradise and didn’t want to leave.

Amazing getaway from it all holiday
Amazing getaway from it all holiday
What a find! The villa, the location, views and the peace and tranquility were amazing, just what we needed after a very busy year. Remote enough to be entirely peaceful, apart from the cries of the soaring eagles overhead and the church bells along the valley, but close enough to local amenities not to feel isolated. Local roads are interesting, steep and twisting but very manageable even in a large, low car!! The villa was superbly equipped with quality fittings and has a genuine home from home feel with everything you'd need, both inside and out for relaxing days by the pool and long evenings under the wisteria with a glass (or two) of the local wines... The visits from the friendly and very informative local baker were a treat, and the bread superb. Aulla railway station is a gateway to numerous locations if you don't want to drive or park, the shops have all you'd need and the information provided by the superb hosts Leo and Tim enabled us to plan our excursions along with long lazy days by the excellent and very welcome pool. Leo kept us well informed prior to the holiday and was in touch during our stay to check all was well. Any queries were answered promptly and she was always contactable should the need have arisen whilst in no way being intrusive. We would have no hesitation in recommending this property if you want a truly relaxing holiday in a stunning location - we'd love to keep this a secret, it's that special!!!

A beautifully situated and well-equipped, spacious villa. Everything was as we dreamed it would be.

This is a delightful villa in a beautiful area. It is high in the hills, quiet and peaceful and charming. The owners are generous and attentive and people locally are most helpful. We enjoyed the pool area during the day and evenings in amazing August heat and visited The Gulf of Poets and Lucca during the week. The local restaurants are lovely and the surrounding coastal area, although busy, is very Italian and unspoilt. Lerici, Tellarmo and the coastal villages beyond are just lovely. We hope to visit again.

Wonderful villa with stunning views

We have just returned from the most wonderful week in this beautiful house. The house is so well equipped there is absolutely nothing you will need. The views from both the villa and the pool are out of this world. We did a few trips- down to the fab beach at forte dei marmi and a boat trip to portovenere-would highly recommend both.The owners are so helpful with booking and info- get straight back to you. The most wonderful place and would highly recommend.

Exceeded our expectations
Exceeded our expectations
Within 4 hours of leaving Manchester we were sat by the pool in the most idyllic of settings. The villa is set in the Tuscan hills alone but not isolated. From the moment we arrived we were at 'home'. Everything we could of needed seemed to be at hand, even the wine which as requested we replaced for the next guests. Tim and Leo have made their home our home for the fortnight. The facilities are of the highest standards and well.maintained. Lisa is only a phone call away if you have any queries. The local shops are about 15 minutes away by car and we sampled the two local restaurants. We can recommend both for their local cuisine and wonderful hospitality. The villa is situated in an ideal location with easy access to the autostrade, about 20 minutes, for visiting the delights Tuscany has to offer. A wonderful villa that exceeded our expectations. We want to go back!!

Idyllic Tuscan Retreat
Idyllic Tuscan Retreat
We had a wonderful holiday in this attractive Tuscan villa. The views are phenomenal and the house was perfect for our requirements; finished to an extremely high standard and very well decorated/equipped. There is plenty of space for al fresco dining by the house or the pool and areas for sun worshipping alongside plenty of shade to escape the heat of the day. The bread van visits every other morning and their foccacia is worth every calorie! Perfect for breakfast with coffee from the Nespresso machine! Leo was also great in replying to emails and providing information up front. There are lots of places to visit in easy reach and I can't recommend highly enough choosing this beautiful property.
