About this villa rental
La Casatorre di Ponticello è un’incantevole dimora in pietra situata ai margini del Borgo di Ponticello, uno dei più antichi borghi medioevali della Lunigiana in Toscana.
La casa è suddivisa in quattro appartamenti indipendenti. Può ospitare 16 persone su letti e 6 su divano letto, per un totale di 22 persone.
L'ampio giardino dispone di una piscina privata da dove si gode una magnifica vista sulle verdi colline di boschi di castagni e sui monti dell’Appennino Tosco - emiliano, in una Toscana incontaminata e ancora da scoprire.
Ideale per una vacanza in pieno relax, la proprietà è facile da raggiungere e non è distante da negozi e ristoranti. A pochi chilometri si possono visitare interessanti luoghi d'arte e di cultura, città d’arte, o raggiungere la costa toscana e le Cinque terre.
La Casatorre di Ponticello è anche un'ideale punto di partenza per escursioni, trekking a piedi o a cavallo e gite in mountain bike.

Really helpful caretaker sharing her local knowledge. Staying here after a week in Sardinia meant the lack of air con wasn't a problem, there are fans in each room.

This is a pretty rural property in a quiet area with nice pool lots of places to visit in surrounding area. Mountain walks streams old towns and villages. Not a place for beaches!
Had a lovely time
6.0
Apartment was quite small for 6 people. Kitchen and living room were very small and apartment had only 1 bathroom. Apartment had no terrace. Location was peacefull with very beautifull view. Garden was big and beautifull and pool was clean and nice. People working in property were friendly. When staying here you need a car, cause there were no restaurants or crocery stores by walking distance.

We felt like we had stepped back in time. The town and home were authentic and historical. We enjoyed the tranquility of the surroundings and the pool and yard were fabulous. Great stay!

We had one of our best stays as a family of 6 at La Casatorre, it’s a great and wonderful place. The house is as described in other reviews, really even nicer as the pics, the kitchen is bigger than it seems, provided everything we needed and we used it a lot.
The pool is well sized and a true joy, we spent a lot of time in there. The area around the pool is huge and the whole place is really clean and well cared for.
If you are a lover of nature you can sit outside early in the mornings, enjoy the mountain view and just listen and smell.
We‘ve been there end of May, wich was not too hot but comfy, even when we had a little rain.
Booking and communication with Maria was really easy, talking to Laura and Ivalda, the housekeepers, was a joy and always nice and easy, too. They are great.
It’s always good to learn a bit of the language wherever you go, especially for this region as it is not heavy touristic but more authentic.
A car is almost a must as all the foodshops and supermarkets are about a 7 to 10mins drive away.
We highly recommend a trip to Bagnone, a lovely little medieval town.
Our famous trip was driving to Portovenere to see the sunset, and the town of course.
We totally enjoyed our stay, it was our first trip to Italy and definitely not our last. This place is a real oasis and we feel like just going back there immediately :-)

We really enjoyed our 2 week stay at this property. The grounds are kept very tidy and the rooms were clean upon arrival. I had heard bad stories about spiders and what not from others that had stayed at historic properties in Tuscany, but I'm happy to report that was not an issue for us. The lounge chairs around the pool were fantastic. The location is wonderful. I would recommend this place to any of my friends.

Great place to stay in a lesser known area of Tuscany. Unfortunately, we were there for only 2 nights (wished it could have been longer). The whole experience with the owner and her representitives was really first class. I would recommend this property to anyone especially if you are a large group with kids who still want their privacy. With 3/4 appartments a large group can have great fun in the pool and large garden but still have their own space.

We absolutely loved this rental. It is even nicer than the pictures look. There is a fabulous little medieval town 200 meters away, which the Francigena trail passes right through (highly recommend exploring both of these!) The locals are great. There is little book of recommendations for you that includes fabulous restaurants in the nearby villages. We loved each one we tried. They treat you like family in these restaurants. Loved everything about this area and this little house. Clean, friendly and everything you need (including a strong shower with plenty of hot water!) It is a wonderful break from the heavy tourist areas, with authentic Italian charm.

Lovely stone property - which keeps surprisingly cool in the heat, in a stunning location and well kept grounds. Pool was a big plus for our boys (Age 11, 9 and 6) - good size, very clean. Rooms were clean and well maintained. Kitchen is well equipped (maybe a few more wine glasses if there are more adults staying than we had) with a good sized table to sit 6. There are also two outside tables for eating if desired.
Location is rural, which we loved and a phrase book is essential if you don't speak Italian. The locals however were very friendly and patient with our attempts - which improved over our week stay. There is a great local restaurant in walking distance, open at lunch times and several local shops within a few minutes drive. A car is a must. From your location you have, walks from your door, a choice of historic hill top towns, mountains and the coast for easy day trips.
In my opinion, not a negative, more a bit of advice - don't rely on the WiFi - definitely through no fault of the owner or housekeeper, who fixed it half way through our holiday.
Would absolutely, definitely recommend - although if honest, would actually like to keep this undiscovered part of Tuscany a secret!

Our holiday here at La Casa Torre has been fantastic. It's a really nice accommodation with garden and pool. The view of the mountain is amazing and we loved the quietness here. The little fresh water stream nearby is cool and a bit cold, but it as nice to be cooled.
We went to Cinque Terre by train from Pontremoli to Monterosso by train. The ticket is valid for up to six hours to travel between the Cinque Terre’s five villages.
Lucca is a nice old town, great shops. Genova has a cozy harbor; you can take whale-watching trips from the harbor as well.
We took a catamaran trip (Silent bay sailing charter) from Sestri Levante’ harbor. We can recommend the trip, quiet, swimming, and beautiful view from the sea. Sestri Levante is a fantastic city with the best ice cream (look up “ice cream angel” on Tripadvisor).
The Lunigiana area is really beautiful; we have seen the authentic nature and the cities. Bagnone, which has a nice bridge and castle, Aula and Fivizzano.
Pontremoli has a cozy little market and the gelateria is open late: until 23pm (if you really are in the need of an ice cream)
We had a fabulous meal at the Agriturismo Ristorante Podere Conti; to get there take the road up the mountain for approx. 5 km from a good bakery called Ricco’
It was nice to have the housekeeper around every day taking care of the garden, pool, stairs and having a big smile, she was very nice and gave us excellent advice for our trips
Thank you for a super stay!
