About this villa rental

Villa Iana is a wonderful retreat for any self catering holiday rental in Tuscany. The spacious, modern villa is situated in the picturesque town of Pietrasanta. It sits in a pretty residential area nestled at the foot of the Alpi Apuane, half way between Pietrasanta and Marina di Pietrasanta - only 2 miles from the famous Versilia beaches. The semi-detached property is spread over 3 floors; the ground floor includes a lounge with plasma TV & DVD player, WC, well equipped kitchen and 2 double bedrooms each with en suites - one with whirlpool bath with shower over, the other with a shower enclosure. Both the kitchen and lounge lead onto a relaxing portico, perfect for al fresco dining (seats 8). The taverna (basement) where the temperatures are cooler in summer has a further lounge and kitchen, a dining area and an additional shower room plus a utility room with washing machine, iron & ironing board. The loft is light and airy with 2 further bedrooms both with en suite bathrooms and separate showers. There is air conditioning throughout and mosquito nets on all windows & doors. There are landscaped gardens with 2 sun loungers, electronic gates, parking & a shared driveway with our other semi-detached villa - Villa Dodi.

Pietrasanta is famous for its marble galleries, marble and bronze sculptures, monuments and studios and has consequently become known as Italy’s Little Athens

Beach / pools: Versilia is famous for its beautiful wide, golden, sandy beaches. There are many private beach clubs or 'bagni' - these are full service beaches many of which have fantastic pools, as well as the usual umbrellas, 'tende', sun loungers, deck chairs and cabins. Many bagni also have restaurants, cafés, bars and many other excellent facilities. It is highly recommended to pre-book your beach before arriving in Pietrasanta. Our villas are situated only 100m from the cycle path that takes you directly to the beach under the protection of a beautiful tree lined boulevard.

Viareggio Carnival: Villa Iana is a great base to experience the famous Viareggio Carnival. This spectacular event - one of the finest and grandest in Italy takes place throughout Mardi Gras each year (and repeated on a smaller scale during August). Celebrations include a wide programme of entertainment and fun for adults and children, the famous papier mâché floats; works of art in themselves that take a year to create, parades, performances, public festivities and masked balls. A fantastic event not to be missed!

Local shops: There are 2 supermarkets (Coop & Conad) within easy reach of Villa Iana. There are also plenty of shops in Pietrasanta old town.

Restaurants & bars: you will be spoilt for choice for places to eat and drink in Pietrasanta, Forte dei Marmi, Lido di Camaiore, Viareggio.

Tourism: Villa Iana is a great base to explore the best of Tuscany: Lucca, Pisa, Siena, San Gimignano, Firenze, Cinque Terre and the Tuscan Archipelago.

Please note: the Italian Tourist Tax has been incorporated in the overall rental cost. The weekly laundry fee only applies for bookings of over one week. On occasions, it may be possible to have 2 additional guests stay in one additional twin room in the taverna at an additional cost of £45/person/night - please ask for details.

We had a great time at villa Iana. The property is clean, well-appointed, spacious and overall absolutely top notch. It has mosquito screens, a fully stocked kitchen, and a large outdoor space. It’s on a quiet street and very conveniently located to visit Versilia (a 10 min bike ride to the beach and to old town Pietrasanta). The owners went out of their way to make us comfortable and happy, giving us access to their garden and kids toys. They even bought a new bbq for us. I highly recommend this amazing property run by super kind and friendly owners. Grazie!

A beautiful clean and modern property with the benefit of having wonderful hosts in Gianfranco who went over and above to help . It benefits to being both near beaches and the town of Pietrasanta. We look forward to coming back!

highly recommended; this is a lovely villa, spacious and well appointed. it's a 20 minute stroll from the centre of Pietrasanta, with its wonderful bars, restaurants and shops and about 2 miles from the local beaches. the lovely gardens give views of the mountains, it's situated on a quiet residential street. fraanco and romelia give very attentive service and it is a delight to stay here, our fourth time in all. Enjoy! david and gina

We spent 12 days in Pietrasanta, Villa Iana. The Villa is surrounded with a pleasant atmosphere: garden, driveway to the house and the terracy from witch there is a impressionable view of the nearby mountains. Villa Iana is spacious and well equipped. The booking runs simply and the hosts are helpful and kind. Beach, parks, the nearby mountains, places like Lucca, Massa, Viareggio, Seravezza, Stazzema ,Camaiore, Pisa can be well reached by car. I would recommend Villa Iana.

We have been holidaying in this area for the last 18 years. It was my eldest daughters 21st birthday and there was only one place she wanted to spend it. We were looking for a special villa and Villa Iana was just perfect. Its by far the best villa we have stayed in. The fixtures and fittings were all of a very high standard and it couldn't be faulted for comfort. There was lots of space and the garden and outside eating area had superb views up to the mountains. The hosts Franco and Romelia couldn't have been more welcoming or helpful. We had some friends visiting the area for the first time and they fell in love with Pietrasanta. Thank you very much Oriana, Franco and Romelia for making me daughter's birthday that much more memorable and we hope it have many more stays with you in the future.

Location, Location, Location… We had a wonderful time at the Villa. Everything was supplied for a really up market self-contained villa, including a very chilled large bottle of local wine. The villa is suited for all weather all conditions – too hot, relax in cool marbled air conditioned lounge or enjoy covered verandah and BBQ dining outside on sultry evening. The lovely gardens and surrounds are beautifully maintained. The caretaker Franco is on hand and very helpful with local knowledge and any other matters. Being based in Pietrasanta gave us access to the beaches, mountains and day-tripping to Pisa, Cinqueterra, Lucca and more. Enjoying the local markets, food and wine is a must. Next time we come we will invite some friends to share as the villa could easily accommodate 3 couples and not be in anyone's way – all bedrooms had their own bathrooms – what luxury! Would highly recommend Villa Iana to everyone!

We visited Villa Iana in May half term with our three children aged 15, 13 and 9. We had a brilliant holiday. The villa is in a great location which offers something for everyone. It was a straightforward train journey from Pietrasanta to Florence, and a short drive to Lucca and Pisa. The weather was perfect for us, in the mid 20s, and we could enjoy visiting the beach most days as well as sight seeing. Pietrasanta itself is a beautiful town with a fine square to sit and watch the world go by over a beer or coffee. We drove up in to the mountains behind the town - lovely views. The only thing we missed visiting was the Cinque Terre. Still, it means we'll have to go back some time! Overall, although the area is obviously geared up for tourists, when we were there we saw very few Brits - which was fine by us. It really felt like we'd had an immersion in Italian life and the villa is situated in a very residential area. Villa Iana is stunning and huge! With four double bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms, our children had a room each, which felt very luxurious. But four couples would be equally comfortable. The view from the garden of the mountains is just lovely. Gianfranco was on hand with lots of information and to help with any queries - he was charming and amusing. Oriana handled the booking which was all very straightforward. We hope to go back some time, and would thoroughly recommend a stay at Villa Iana.

It is a great - very spacious location. With three floors and 5 bathrooms, the villa could easily be used for more than 8 people, but our kids had a wonderful time running around. Everything is very well maintained and looks like new; the local owner is very helpful with any request one might have. We mostly enjoyed the quiet, spacious terrace with the stunning view, where we stayed often during the day. The beaches close by were too crowed – probably no surprise in August – but someone also must like the many rental places at the beach. There are other things to do too, like a trip to Cinque Terre or to one of caves in the mountains. After all, we had a very relaxing time and wouldn’t mind being back. However, it was a little challenge to book the villa and getting the money transferred, as the owner holds an account in LB’s only. Keep in mind that transferring EUR to an LB account needs active engagement with the bank (paperwork, not an online transaction?) and requires some additional cost you have to cope with.
