Honestly, I can't imagine a better experience in Tuscany. My mother (90) has always wanted to get the whole family together for a vacation in Tuscany and this was the year. This home filled everyone's expectations and is well-represented by the listing's pictures It's beautiful, well-appointed country home with rustic elements ("scratched up houses", in the words of my 6-year-old nephew - ha). The little ones were super happy with the pool (the big people, too). The grounds are stunning and very much like a park with trails to stroll through, benches and chairs in various places around the property to sit and read, converse, nap, etc. Everything works! The kitchen is terrific and well appointed for serious and fun meal preparation. The beds are comfortable! The experience is very much that of borrowing the keys to an old friend's home and feeling right at home. The area is terrific on its own and offers a good launchpad to local tourism and sightseeing - 20 minutes to Lucca, 30 minutes to the beach in Viareggio, 45 minutes to Pisa, good grocery stores about 10 minutes away. The gardener came by in the mornings and looked after the property and pool. He was very friendly and helpful. The restaurants in the area are terrific. The house has a bulletin board with all the business cards and hand-written notes of recommendation. The owner's special recommendation was voted by my family to be the best meal and experience they've ever had!

This is the perfect house for a large family get away to Tuscany. Perfect location to many major cities, towns and beaches. The house had everything we needed, including fans, and the kitchen was well stocked with tools to prepare meals. We really enjoyed the pool and admiring the gardens on the property. We would not hesitate to book again. Thank you Pierre and Marco for your hospitality!!

Ich und meine Familie haben eine Wunderbare Woche in Orbicciano verbracht. Das Haus ist sehr individuell und persönlich eingerichtet und erinnert in Teilen mehr an eine Kunstgalerie. Auf dem Grundstück sind überall kleine Sitzgelegenheiten verteilt von denen das Anwesen mit immer neuer Aussicht genossen werden kann. Ein Bett war leider sehr hart und auch ein wenig kurz für Personen über 1,70m. Allerdings gibt es sehr viele Ausweichmöglichkeiten. Vielen Dank für die wunderschöne, entspannte Woche. Wir kommen gerne jederzeit wieder.

Nous avons passé une merveilleuse semaine dans cette maison pleine de charme. La piscine est superbe et sans aucun vis à vis. On se sent seuls au monde (sauf parfois près de la maison où on entend les voisins). Le terrain est très bien entretenu. Merci ! C'etait un plaisir d'y séjourner !

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans votre maison. Tout c'est merveilleusement bien passé et nous avons été très chanceux au niveau de la météo car il n'a ni fait trop chaud ni trop froid. Nous avons suivi toutes vos indications qui nous ont été d'une grande utilité. D'ailleurs nous sommes allés dans l'un des restaurant recommandés, il mattarello et c'était fantastique. Votre maison est très agréable et son jardin parfaitement entretenu, sans compter la piscine qui est incroyable.

Charmantes altes Landhaus inkl. Pool mit hohem Erholungsfaktor. Man sollte beachten, dass man relativ ab vom Schuss ist. Für uns war das aber eher ein Vorteil, da man die Hektik, die man im Alltag hat, so im Urlaub super vermeiden kann.

Beautiful and peaceful property. Lots of space inside and outside. Remote location which has great charm. You can visit popular places easily like Florence and Pisa. Seek out lesser known gems like cycling round Lucca or walking up the waterfalls in the hills. Montemagno has two wonderful restaurants 10 minutes drive away. So much to like about this area and the house is a great place to base your trip from. If you fancy, do nothing and enjoy the sunshine and tranquility by the pool.

On the plus side, the pool is wonderful, although quite a distance from the villa. The villa provides a very Tuscan experience - think 'Under the Tuscan Sun'. It is charming and quaint, although some may find it rather cluttered and lacking some mod cons we take for granted elsewhere in the world. In August it can be very hot. Fans in all the bedrooms are a minimum requirement for comfort. Some of the beds in the villa have very hard, old mattresses that can be considered uncomfortable by modern standards. The time it takes for hot water to reach the upstairs bathroom is also unreasonably long. This is something we were made aware of, but paying guests shouldn’t have to deal with this annoying quirk. This is a large property and although well maintained, not everything is in perfect order. Guests staying in the little cottage should be aware that there is no closet into which you can unpack your clothes - fine for a short stay, difficult if you are there for over a week. There are a lot of bugs and insects at the height of summer, including mosquitoes and horse flies that bite. You need to adequately prepare for these. We left several vape machines that the next guests can use, but they will need the vape mats from the Coop. The main gate is operated by punching a code on the wall - you have to exit your vehicle, which is inconvenient. The gardener has a remote that operates the gate, I can’t imagine why guests are not afforded the same convenience. Unknown to us the water in the small cottage alongside the house was off. The villa appears to have a complex water system and it was difficult to locate the water setup and figure out its operation in the dark. At the time, this was very irritating. Guests are told to bring towels for both shower and pool. The house seems to have plenty of towels and we left some of our towels (I guess others have too). For foreign guests it isn’t easy to arrange for house cleaning with someone who speaks no English. The owner did help make arrangements with a cleaner, however the outdated 'house manual' incorrectly stated we had to perform an exit cleaning. This meant we spent time negotiating an exit cleaning that had already been paid for. Finally, the property is extremely remote and you should expect to have intermittent and slow internet connectivity and no mobile service. We were unable to locate the pub the owner said was 1 km away. The closest eating establishment we found was 3kms from the villa.
