it was a really good vacation ! The place david build there is fantastic ! quiet, great house, super gerat pool, super super great view ! The house has ererything you need, very good kitchen, nice rooms, super bath...... we had a super time and will come back !

I am still in awe of how it is possible to create such a amazing place like Ana & Davids house in the mountains near Bagnone... We had a week of pure bliss - relaxing by the pool, having picnics in the olive grove, dining outside the house on the terrace with the most gorgeous view over the valley and mountains, star gazing until midnight with wine and italian meringue and were lucky to see shooting stars on the clear sky. Since we were travelling in the shadow of covid19 we spent a lot of time in the house which is spacious, cosy and beautifully decorated. The bedrooms were bright and the beds so comfy and inviting. The bathrooms were tastefully decorated, very clean and with three towels for each person besides a huge and comfy pool towel. The kitchen was fantastic and extremely well equipped; soap for the dishwasher and for the washing machine, handsoap, sharp knives and salt and pepper, coffee - and a bottle of rosé upon our arrival. David was very helpful and just a text away if we needed anything. He came every morning to clean the pool so it looked nice and inviting for us when we came down to have our late morning swim or for my friends daily yoga session. We had wto teen age boys in our group and they were both keen on swimming and exploring the mountain streames, rivers and waterfalls in the area, and David knew a gorgeous place besides the one we found ourselves - it litteraly took our breath away and our boys - the grown up included - was over the moon diving and jumping in the river pools. It felt like a crime to leave and it was with tears in my eyes that I had to leave this little piece of heaven - when I come back I will make sure to stay more than a week. Thank you so much Ana & David for making our vacation so perfect and unforgettable and for providing such a fantastic service for us in the end of our stay - you are the most perfect hosts and it was so nice meeting you both :-D Best wishes The Volstrup family and the Nørgaard family

Anna and David are lovely hosts making you feel welcome from the first moment. The property offers everything you can imagine for super relaxing holidays. Both the house and the huge pool are very clean. There is nothing to worry about. With any issue you might have you can always rely on Anna’s and David’s help. We very much enjoyed our stay. Downside: we already left after one week.

Exceptional house, phenomenal views, amazing host created a truly perfect vacation for the 2 couples that stayed in the villa early in May. Each couple prepared the reviews below: Our time at the villa was everything a vacation should be. Beautiful, relaxing yet exciting and overall one of the best vacation we have ever been on. The Villa is amazing, it feels like home immediately, the town is out of a storybook; the people could not be friendlier. We can’t wait to go back. Bob & Bev One of our best vacations ever. Villa was beautiful, very clean, view was stunning, pool area just gorgeous -wish we could have spent one day chilling by the pool but the weather did not cooperate. The sitting areas outside just fabulous with an all around panoramic view of the valley. Great community everyone very friendly and the owner went out of his way to make our stay memorable.

We had high expectations for this holiday as we were celebrating a 60th birthday with the family and we had spent several hours trying to find the most suitable place . David kindly met us in the local village and we followed him up to the property. When we arrived at the property we were literally blown away by the most incredible views. They really are spectacular . However , the villa was not to disappoint. It is a beautifully renovated building and it is clear that quality fixtures and fittings have been used to create this idyllic villa . Every room has been beautifully decorated and the beds are extremely comfortable . The kitchen is well equipped and there is plenty of storage . Brilliant cooking facilities and a huge fridge to keep all the wine chilled . There is a huge dining table both indoor and outdoor . We had the most amazing memorable week . David would be round early morning to clean and maintain the pool and kindly got the water to the right temperature for the not so brave of us . The pool is huge and very clean . There are comfortable sunbeds and plenty of pool towels . David was always available for tips and recommendations for good restaurants etc but was also exceptionally respectful of our privacy . I could go on and on about this place and I cannot express how amazing the place is . We are definitely going back as it really is perfection .

This property is truly spectacular. The thing that first strikes you when you drive up is the serenity and privacy - you are well removed from your nearest neighbor - and the incredible views of mountains and the valley below, a view that changed from morning to night as the light changed. The pool was amazing and our family spent many happy hours swimming, relaxing, and reading by the pool. The villa is immaculate - it was spotless on our arrival and had everything a family of 6 needed. The area surrounding the villa could not be more charming - the town of Bagnone is beautiful and the locals were exceptionally friendly. We particularly enjoyed going to town for morning espressos and pastries. There was a wonderful Monday morning street market right in the middle of town where we bought wonderful meat, cheeses, and fresh fruit/vegetables. We took many walks of varying difficulty in and around Bagnone and the surrounding towns. We hiked in the Apennines and had easy day trips to Lucca and the Cinque Terre. Finally, the owner David is an amazing host - he cares deeply about the experience of his guests and does whatever he can to make the stay perfect. He was remarkably responsive during the booking process and readily available throughout the stay to provide recommendations for restaurants and activities. This property far exceeded our high expectations and we will make every effort to return as soon as possible.

We are renting houses for our yearly summer vacations, mainly in Italy and Spain, over a decade now. And we had rather high expectations for this property due to all the nice reviews and pictures. Good lord! People say pictures tell more than thousand words. Well, they can never ever meet the epiphany we had when David (Knox, the owner) took us through the property gates and onto the drive way to the house. It was the first time that my expectations have been exceeded in every single instance, by miles. Some specifics why I think this must be one of the best locations globally. Starting with THE VIEW! Like a canyon watcher you could probably spend the whole day sitting on one of the several different terraces and feel the atmosphere shifting minute by minute. Then the pool. Perfectly designed in terms of safety and cleaning features and moreover it's wisely equipped for the guests’ different needs: diving board for the athletic ones, two different type of sunbeds (one for the readers with sunshield, one for the chillers with soft mattress), shower and a “sunport” that provides semi-shade for yoga sessions. The kitchen is for us probably the most important place indoors, especially during vacation. Hence, I am often annoyed how little attention summer house owners pay to that key space of social interaction. Not in this house! Two fridges (one for the beverages and one for food, if you like), a gas oven, a kitchen island with bar stools, a collection of actually sharp knives (!), large frying pans for infinite pasta cooking pleasure etc. Moreover, the kitchen has entrances to the house’s two main terraces and you're always passing the fridge... Part of the kitchen of course, even if located outdoors and perfectly positioned for a GT sundowner, is the charcoal grill. Even if you’re less of a grilling freak than I am, a sufficiently sized dry-wood suited grill with three different grilling grate elevation levels doesn’t leave anyone’s eye dry. But all these fantastic features of this place appear in the end almost profane compared to the service level and kindness the owner David Knox brings to the table. Whatever questions or considerations you have regarding the property or the area, David is only a call or a message away with solid and inspiring input. David seems to have friends in and tips for any given town, which we followed with an almost 100% hit-rate. We will not wait for the next worldcup David, we'll be back sooner! Thanks, Dino and the Swe
