Lovely, simple house, well equipped and spacious. Wonderful salt water pool - nice and deep at one end which our children loved jumping in. Gorgeous views over the valley and Lucca in the distance. Completely private and undisturbed. Silvia and Paolo our hosts were very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed, including logs for the pizza oven and some really effective outdoor mosquito repellent! Fabulous place and will come again.

The house met all our expectations and we had a great week. The view over the hills is fantastic! The pool area is lovely and some days we spent whole days around here, a plus is that the depth is 2,4 m in the deep end. The house is placed on the east side of the hill, so during hot summer days it is not too hot at bed time. The bed rooms has also air conditioning. The hosts were very very nice and could recommend local restaurants and nice day trips. We visited the closest restaurant twice, a 15 min walk from the house.

Amazing view and pool. The best location for a wonderful family vacation. Silvia (the host) was extremely helpful land nice.

We had a wonderful week in Silvia’s house in Vorno with our adult children and their partners. The house was even better than we expected with plenty of room for 8 people and the pool area was fantastic. We often had our evening meals outside on the beautiful veranda watching the fire flies darting about. Silvia was a lovely host - just the right amount of contact. The house is very well placed for exploring Lucca and Florence and the surrounding area. We had a brilliant early evening bike ride on Lucca’s city walls and listened to a selection of Puccini’s arias in Chiesa dei Santi Giovanni which are on every evening for an hour. The Grotta del vento is well worth a visit. A Bimbotto in Vorno does amazing pizzas and is a short 20 minute walk from the house. We’d really recommend Silvia’s property and will hopefully visit again ourselves before too long. Thank you so much Silvia.

This property is beautifully located and a true gem: perfect pool, secluded with absolute privacy, and wonderful views over the mountains and Lucca just a few km away. The house itself is clean and cosy. Silvia and her husband were extremely kind and helpful, with much attention to detail and absolutely discrete. Everything just perfect. We would love to stay there again.

We were looking for somewhere quiet where we could relax, swim, cook and enjoy family time with our adult children. This was it! Silvia and Paolo went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed, made dinner reservations at local restaurants, offered to book taxis, had small breakfast in fridge for us as we arrived late in the evening. They replied to any questions within minutes and made our stay wonderful. I would recommend this family home to everyone, the pool was great. There is nothing negative to say. We will return. Thank you.

Very good; hassle-free

Super pool og herlig terrasse med udsigt til skovklædte bjerge og op mod Lucca. Total stilhed bortset fra lidt hanegal og hundeglam nede fra dalen. Sol hele dagen men kølende skygge fra bjerget om aftenen. Poolen ligger ca 40m hen langs skrænten og har hyggelig loungeområde. Værtinden er yderst venlig og hjælpsom.

Lækkert sted med privat pool

We have been going to Tuscany for 5 years in a row because we enjoy the beautiful surroundings and many towns. In addition, we always enjoy the typical Tuscan holiday homes, but this house surpasses all previous homes: beautiful views, very attractively furnished, good beds, everything you need is available, lovely swimming pool and the very hospitable Silvia and Paolo make your holiday complete . A stay where you really don't want to leave. Evelijne Los-Knoppe (The Netherlands)

Das Haus von Silvia liegt in einem kleinen Dorf am Hang mit einem wundervollen Blick in das Tal Richtung Lucca. Wir hatten alles was wir brauchten im Haus, sogar den Pizzaofen konnten wir nutzen. Vielen Dank nochmal für das Holz! :) Der Pool ist groß genug und hat die heißen Tage erträglicher gemacht. Vielen Dank Silvia für den netten Aufenthalt, wir kommen bestimmt nochmal :)

Excellent

We loved staying in CimaVorno! Silvia is a wonderfull, kind host. The house was super clean by arrival. Due to the location of the house the tempersture in the evening and at night is perfect (not too hot) We will surely come back!

We stayed one week with our family. Great house, great host! I would recommend a stay here. We had a great time. It is good to know that the pool is not located next to the house (especially for if you have small kids you need to keep an eye on).

Our stay was perfect. Sylvia made sure we had everything we needed.

Wow, what a place. We are a family of 4 (2 boys aged 13 & 10) so had loads of room at this property. It is truly an incredibly beautiful old house which has been so well looked after. The location is amazing and the views are some of the best we’ve ever experienced. We made good use of the large and very lovely warm swimming pool, the boys LOVED the diving board. In reality this property and location is so so much better than the listing implied. Finally the home owner Silvia is so lovely, warm and friendly (as is Paulo) and full of information and advice. Thank you for having us as your guests Silvia, we will definitely be back.

There is basically nothing more to say. The pool is amazing, the house is cosy and there is a perfect view from the terrace on the mountains and the remote Lucca. Almost the best element though is Silvia, who is the perfect host and takes care of EVERYTHING really fast and friendly. 100% recommendation. (T)

We stayed 2 weeks in this wonderful tranquil place. Silvia, the owner was very serviceminded and sorted any questions promptly. The pool was great! The beds very comfortable. We might return another time.

Wir haben all das vorgefunden, was die Beschreibung versprochen hat. Dazu noch schönes Wetter, was will man mehr. Alles perfekt

We have just spent the most wonderful week at this fabulous property. We are a family of 2 adults and 2 children (ages 14 and 12) and we all loved our stay here - the time passed far too quickly! The house is in a quiet and peaceful area and you have complete privacy. However, the owner Silvia (who is very friendly and helpful) lives near by and can be at the property in a matter of minutes if needed (or she answers questions by text straight away) - so it is a perfect set-up!There is a sweeping driveway to get up the house which we managed with no problems and when you get to the house you feel really private. The house is extremely characterful - oldy worldy rustic charm - and is spotlessly clean. The bedding is of a beautiful quality and we used the 2 double beds, which were extremely comfortable. The kitchen is small but is very well equipped with good quality crockery etc and it all feels lovely and clean. The kitchen door leads out onto the very pretty eating area with lovely views, where there is a large table and very comfortable chairs. We ate here every night and spent hours around this table playing games, reading books and drinking a glass of wine!. The pool is fantastic - big, clean and in a lovely setting with the mountains as a back drop. It also feels secluded. It has a diving board and a deep end - so is fabulous for children (and parents!) who wish to learn to dive and jump into the deep end. There are very comfortable sun loungers and chairs at the pool. We also spent hours here!Lucca is a short drive away and there are also numerous other smaller places to visit easily from here. We went to Barga in the mountains and also Montecarlo - all really pretty places and great trips out - but there are loads of other places too, that we didnt have time to get to.If you like chilling out in a beautiful and peaceful setting, eating outside and swimming in the pool - then this is the place for you!

We had a great time in this beautiful house 15 min outside Lucca. It is a little remote, but has the charm and quiteness we looked for

A good spot to do trips to Florens, Pisa and the ocean. The House had everything we needed and a plus for the oven outside. The pool was lovely.

Het huis dat je, na een spannend bergweggetje als privé-oprijlaan en het passeren van een prachtig 11 meter zoutwaterbad (met zowel volle zon als heerlijke schaduw en goede douche) bereikt, is geheel authentiek en koel door de dikke muren omliggende begroeiing, en heeft een grote authentieke steenoven in een nis die perfect werkt. Buiten aan een lange tafel hebben we samen meerdere avonden heerlijk eigen pizza’s gemaakt . Het zwembad, de privacy en het uitzicht van de diverse plakken zijn alle drie top. Sylvia en haar man wonen in het nabije Lucca en tel goed bereikbaar en zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Twee restaurantjes nabij (Il Cecco geprobeerd: top!) Binnen een mum rijd je over prachtige en rustig door mooi landschap naar LUCCA, dat veel overzichtelijker en minder druk is dan Florence, maar alles heeft en grote supermarkten etc. nabij. Vanaf Pisa ca half uur max 3 kwartier rijden, dus ideaal bereikbaar voor (in)vliegers. Heerlijke privé plek, zeer vriendelijke bescheiden eigenaar en daarmee zowel rustenclave als uitvalsbasis om Toscane te verkennen of beleven

The house was lovely with its modern function and old ambience. We had all we needed and a bit more! The house as well as the garden and pool was well kept, clean and fresh. In the small village we also found a local restaurant within walking distance for delicious Italian meals . For grocery shopping a tour to Lucca is necessary. Silvia was a perfect host and made sure we felt welcome and that all was to our satisfaction. We can warmly recommend this house and its location with so many of the attractive sights within easy reach.

Wir verbrachten eine sehr erholsame Woche in einer wunderschönen Landschaft mit nahezu unbegrenzt großem Grundstück. Für die Kinder war dies ein tolles Abendteuer. Das Haus ist sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet , sauber und vollständig ausgestattet. Der Pool ist ausgezeichnet, in dieser Größe selten - bot für Groß und Klein ein Badevergnügen

We enjoyed our stay very much. It is a very quite place in a beautiful surrounding. In the house we found everything we needed. We liked the fireplace very much (as the weather was not always good). There was always enough wood and we also used the pizza oven several times. The kitchen is not big but everything we needed was there.Silvia our host was very friendly and answered quickly to all our questions. Lucca is only 20 minutes away by car and we visited also Pisa and Florence without problems. I really recommend this place.

Beautiful villa in lovely location

We were met at the property by Silvia. The approach to the house is up a steep but perfectly driveable hill. There is a parking area a little way down the hill and a tight parking and turning area next to the house. We had a Ford C Max and easily managed the hill and turning area. Following a warm welcome from Silvia and her husband we were shown around this charming old farmhouse. Silvia responded very quickly to any questions that we had during our stay. The farmhouse is on a terrace on a hillside in an orchard of olive and fruit trees. The scent from the Jasmine around the door was wonderful! Having access to fresh lemons was a real bonus. We ate out under the covered table every evening – a lovely location to enjoy a family meal after the heat of the day. The kitchen is small and basic but was good enough to enable us to produce an evening meal for every day we were there. The bedrooms and bathrooms are clean and comfortable. The shutters are a welcome means for keeping out the heat of the sun which in turn makes the house a comfortable place to retreat to for an afternoon snooze. By far the very best thing about this property is the clean and well maintained pool. The location and views are stunning. We could have spent the whole holiday either in or next to the pool. The house is about 20 minutes from the walled city of Lucca. From here there is access to a good supermarket – Esselunga, the railway station for trips to Florence and Pisa and the motorway. If you want privacy, a quiet location, comfortable beds and a fantastic pool all at a reasonable price then this is the place for you.

This old farm house is the perfect place to stay. Its in perfect condition without having lost its style. Located in the middle of a nice forest of olives you will not be disturbed by traffic or neighbors. While swimming in the pool (in the olive forest, 80 m from the house) the only thing you see are the nice green mountains of the surrounding valley. Due to the location in the mountains its not too hot when you sit outside in the evening. And if you have kids they will love to swim in the pool and to explore the wild creeks in the surrounding. Nevertheless the place is just 20 min. from Lucca downtown and 40 min from Pisa and the sea. A 15 min. walk brings you to the village with little shop, restaurant, church and tourist information. The landlord will not disturb you but is immediately available in case of any problem. I can fully recommend to stay here and we are seriously considering to come back next summer.

We arrived at the gates to the villa following Silvia from Lucca. Entered the gates, passed the gorgeous horses Silvia has and proceeded up a very scary hill. There were five of us. When we reached the top of the hill and the flat area of the Villa we all frankly gasped with pleasure. Nestled in the hills this villa in a stunning location. The pool was wonderful and I could have spent our entire time sitting beside it or swimming in it. The Villa itself is a converted barn and is not fancy and the kitchen is small. Having said this we didn't care a fig. The bedrooms were large and comfortable. The kitchen had everything we required, the beds were comfy. There is a large table right outside the dining room where we ate constantly. The scent of the flowering vine growing over the walls, the conifer trees around us and that unbelievable view made dining outside a dream come true. Silvia is not particularly attentive about bedding, towels and garbage collection but we had a storm with a power outage and she came immediately to help. Really, if you want to be pampered pay twice as much for another Villa or go to a hotel. If you want total privacy, stunning views, a marvellous pool and comfortable beds and washrooms this is the place for you. The Villa is about 15 minutes to Lucca, a town we adored for its peaceful, civilized atmosphere and lack of the huge crowds we found in Florence, Venice, Sienna etc. We were 10 minutes from Esselunga - a very large grocery store that had everything we needed and more. There are two restaurants (one a walk away, the other a 3 minute drive). The food was not fantastic but good enough for the two nights we wanted to eat out without going far. Honestly, I would return here in a nanosecond. Great value for money. Oh and the hill: by the third time up it we didn't even think about it anymore. Thank you Silvia for our time in Paradise!! Hope you are well and apologies for feeding Jasmine to the horses - I couldn't resist them.
