Pool even better than pictures and villa very comfortable with very efficient air conditioning.Good breakfast dining area outside dining room and small walk to pool.

Wonderful experience. Fabulous spacious rooms Unbelievable pool area - just amazing. Lucia was very responsive, friendly and helpful. It would have been helpful to have a guide on the house - e.g. how the sockets and switches worked ( light switches turned plug sockets on and off and was quite confusing). There were no instructions on waste collection and recycling and only a tiny bin provided which for 10 people was not suitable. A few improvements needed in the kitchen - there were no sharp knives, no wooden board for cutting bread and the other plastic chopping boards were very old and warped. The socket where the microwave was plugged in was hanging off the wall exposing the wires. I small suggestion for other new guests - please provide new dishwashing sponges, cloths and at least one or 2 dishwasher tablets. An extra drying airer for clothes is needed. One airer for 10 people is not sufficient. We had to hang towels on railings. Overall this is a fantastic place - we all loved it. There is a bus stop right outside to take you 15 mins to Lucca which is a fantastic walled city. The scenery all around is breathtaking. Our host was so lovely - she was very kind and got someone to fix the ice machine straight away. She also let us check out a bit later was was super helpful.

We stayed for a week with our children and grandchildren. Lucia was our main contact and was very helpful in all ways including booking restaurants. The property has plaenty of room and a big garden. The pool is the stand out feature: it is large and deep with a diving board and we spent part of each day enjoying it. The views from the pool area are spectacular. The house is spacious and cool with excellent bedrooms and bathrooms. We found it a little dark, but perhaps this is typical of this area. There is an annex which can accomodate 3 which we didnt need to use. We fely the annex wasnt up to the standard of the main house. Samuele`s recommendations fro local restaurants were great and we enjyed meals in all the 3 local ones. It was easy to reach Lucca and Pisa from the villa. Overall we had a very enjoyable holiday.

We loved this villa. The property was lovely and the pool was amazing. It had a truly rustic Italian Villa vibe, but was very nicely appointed. The ice maker in the kitchen was an unexpected treat. The location in a small town of Vorno was close to everything and we used it as our home base to venture out to all of Tuscany. Samuele and his daughter Lucia were very helpful and always available for whatever random question we had. Thank you!

Wonderful memories thanks to the whole Sodini family, especially Lucia who made us feel so welcome every day. Stunning property with all amenities and spectacular views from the large pool. Can’t praise this highly enough, and we’ve been spending our summers in Tuscany for 20 years now. Casale Sodini is easily the best for a larger family or group of friends!

Samuele and Lucia are very attentive hosts. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. They recommended a chef Ilaria to come to the villa for cooking lessons and to prepare a delicious 4 course meal. This a must when you stay at the villa! And the location is fantastic, and driving distance to many regions in Tuscany. I highly recommend visiting the old city of Lucca so much to discover there. We pray we can return soon.

Samuele, Lucia, Ilaria and Roberta offered us an exceptional stay. This is the perfect location for an Italian adventure. Located in Vorno with easy access to the autostrada, you can easily access Tuscany, Liguria and more. If you want to stay in the villa the pool and outdoor space are magical.

We were a family of at some points 9 adults during our stay over mid-July to August 10th. Our impression of the property was very true to the photographs posted which was a rustic restored farmhouse with beautiful grounds. The pool area was even larger in person. As you can see from the posted photos, there are 5 ensuite bathrooms for the 5 bedrooms in the main house and 2 bedrooms and 1 bath in the annex across the front courtyard. All are a very good size with nice amenities and furnishings. The living room is a good size and the dining room accommodated the 9 of us easily. The air conditioning worked well and kept both the main house and annex cool and comfortable. We experienced a pretty bad heatwave the first week so we were grateful for the AC. The staff, especially Isabella were very accommodating, helpful and friendly. Isabella also speaks English well. The kitchen was well equipped with a good size new refrigerator. The separate ice maker came in handy. The only problem we incurred in the entire 3 weeks was on our arrival day. Somehow, I could not get my gps to locate 65 Via di Vorno so we were over an hour late arriving. The small bridge is not marked so we missed it. We believe it would be difficult to cross over the bridge into the property with any car larger than a VW Passat Station Wagon (which is what we rented). The good news is once we decided we were lost we called Samuelle who picked up promptly and asked Isabella, who lives nearby to meet us and lead us to the villa. Our stay at the villa was spectacular and we were more than pleased with the condition of the property and all amenities. It was a nice surprise one day after our family left and it was just the two of us that Samuelle came over to introduce himself and made us feel very welcome. He invited us to the house next door where his parents live and we had a lovely visit. We opted to hire the villa chef and caretaker Isabella to prepare a dinner for all 9 of us. We were able to chose the courses and she and her daughter Sophia came and cooked for us. It was wonderful. We would mention after going to the market, Essalunga a couple of times on Condordia, we found the Coop market in Guamo was within minutes to the villa and had everything we needed including a full butcher. We highly recommend Casale Sodini for those who want to be in the country but close enough to Lucca and Pisa. Grazie
