About this villa rental
Villa in Aria is set on the hills in front of the Apuan/Appenine mountains in Lunigiana in the Northern tip of Tuscany. Access is via a private road and the property is set in 3 hectares of land providing complete privacy. The land beyond is predominantly woodland. The house was built 15 years ago using traditional methods. The roofs are constructed using chestnut beams. The floors downstairs are stone which helps keep the house cooler (the house is also insulated) and upstairs are solid oak. All the doors, shutters and staircase are hand-made. The pool is 15m x 6m. The automatic top can be closed in the evenings to retain the water temperature overnight. The depth is c.1.10m in the shallow end and c.2m in the deep end with a diving board. In addition to the terraced area surrounding the pool there is in total 200+ sq.m surrounding the house, ideal for relaxing and dining. The house has a fast speed internet connection via a fixed cable or wireless.
The table tennis table and table football ensure that there's something to do in between relaxing and relaxing!
Days out can be spent walking, in the mountains, visiting festas or trips to the coast including Lerici, Forte dei Marmi and Viareggio. For day trips to the Cinque Terre we recommend the train from Villafranca which goes direct. A fantastic day trip is the 9.14 a.m. direct to Monterosso, a walk around the town, lunch at one of the many restaurants or our friends restaurant on the cliff tops then take the boat back to La Spezia. An aperitivo in the town then the train back to Villafranca/Bagnone.
We are happy to take care of any bookings and assist with planning where necessary.

Heaven on Earth - and a bit more...
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

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,amazing views,phenomenal host
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.

Incredibly pretty , stunning views , perfection .
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 .

Breathtaking views, privacy, and serenity
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.

Welcome to the place you never wanna leave!
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

We just had the most relaxing and wonderful time! We didn't expect the villa and the surroundings to be that beautiful and luxury (even thought that some of the comments could be bought 😉) but now I am sitting here in a grey Vienna nothing but sad that we didn't book 2 weeks!
David was the most patient, helpful and laid back host!
We will definitely come back!
Thank you

Amazing stay with family
We had a truly amazing stay, words (or photos) do not do justice to the views-nothing will beat sitting on the veranda watching an electrical storm roll through the valley beneath us.
Our party had 4 children under 5 years old who were able to safely explore the house and the grounds.
As we had children we treated ourselves to the local chef (Stefan) who is superb and cooked us a range of local dishes. We have been recommending the property to friends and family-we intend to return again and thank you for your hospitality David!

Exceeded our expectations
The villa itself had everything you could think of. The weather was not kind to us so spent time inside and the log fire was wonderful. The rooms were spacious and spotless and the kitchen had all the utensils you could want. In the warm weather there would be plenty of seating for sun lovers as well as those wanting the shade. The pool and diving board are fantastic it was just a shame that we could not benefit from this as the weather made it to cold. Would love to visit again in the Summer. David was friendly and knowledgeable of the area and on hand if needed. Overall -highly recommend.

Ein Juwel in der Toskana
Nachdem sich das Eingangstor das erste Mal bei der Anfahrt geöffnet hat, erblickt man die ruhig gelegene Villa mit der fantastischen Aussicht. Das Haus ist mit sehr viel Liebe eingerichtet und die Ausstattung lässt keine Wünsche übrig. Sämtliche Beschreibungen entsprechen der Realität. Die Außenanlage ist sehr gepflegt und bietet mit dem 15x6m großem Pool ein absolutes Highlight auf. Unübertroffen ist aber die Freundlichkeit und Hilfsbereitschaft von David und Ana, die uns viele wertvolle Tipps für Restaurants und Ausflüge gegeben haben. Wir haben für 2 Wochen mit zwei Familien (4 Erwachsen und 4 Kindern) dieses Paradies erleben dürfen und würden jederzeit wiederkommen. Ein Juwel für jeden Toskana-Fan.

Wonderful relaxing holiday
David, the owner met us in Bagnone and drove up with us to the house. Upon arrival, we all just stood there and stared, it couldn`t have been more impressive. On the other side of the valley there was an amazing thunderstorm to watch and the grounds and swimming pool were even better than the photos had suggested.
The house inside has loads of room and is very charming and traditional. We had a few Barbecues on the big terrace outside and cooked our own Pasta and Pizza in the very well equipped kitchen inside.
So many places to visit, so much to do, but also just relaxing by the pool (weather permitting) was beautiful. Having four 20+s with us, it was great for them to be able to make a noise and not worry about any neighbours complaining.
We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and are definitely planning to make it back and stay there again.
Thanks to David and Ana for making our stay so memorable.

A wonderful week in the most breathtaking location
My partner & I plus 3 friends rented this villa for a week mid June and from the moment we arrived it felt like home. The views from the Villa and terraces were absolutely breath taking plus we had the added bonus of a week of amazing weather with wall to wall sunshine & blue skies. The Villa was stunning with just the right combination of comfort and elegance. Lots of different areas for our group to be together or escape to with a good book. We had a few great lunches and dinners out in the surrounding towns & villages (recommendations by David, the owner) but to be honest our favourite meals were had at the Villa with us all helping to cook and either eating on the side terrace dinning area or by the BBQ watching the sun sink below the mountains. We found it very hard to tare ourselves away from the Villa if truth be told, it being such a wonderful place to relax and unwind. We did however spend one day in the magical Lucca which after 15 years since we last visited is still as magical.
The Villa owners David and Ana (plus not forgetting their adorable dog Aris) could not have been more helpful and delightful during our stay and were always available on the phone or in person for restaurant recommendations etc plus we had a lovely early evening drink with them at the Villa during our stay after we had watched them toiling over Ana's vegetable patch. We chatted with David & Ana about the building and setting up of the Villa over a glass or two of David's own wine (another year and the wine will be perfect)
We will definitely be returning and would have no hesitation in recommending this stunning place to friends and family. If you are looking for a Villa in a stunning location with lots to see and do in the local area or if you just want to laze away the day by the pool or on the terraces whilst reading a good book then this is the Villa for you
See you in 2018 David, Ana & Aris Fondest regards Carl xx

A true oasis of tranquillity perfect for families
After weeks of searching,I finally came across this holiday villa which it raised to it's previous reviews in every single way.At arrival David met us and showed us the way to the house making sure we do not get lost.Once in the house we were amazed about the beauty of the place:the landscape outside is a dream of perfect natural beauty, as you bath in the pool you can see all over the valley and the majestic mountains.
The house is impeccable,a house made with love where every detail is well thought.Well done for creating such a beautiful house!The beds are huge with very good mattresses and five star linen and towels are provided.
Ana bought enough food to last us for dinner ,breakfast and beyond and it was delicious!They even got us baby milk.
We were 2 families with kids under 6 yrs old and we had so much fun and kids were safe at all times as pool was on a different level and the inside house was very accommodating.
The place is a true oasis of tranquillity and we enjoyed staying put most of the week.There are lots of places to visit nearby or up to 2hrs away for more adventurous people.
We wish we could have stayed longer and we hope to return
Thank you David and Ana for your hospitality and for being on call 24 hrs to answer our silly questions :)

The pictures do not tell the whole story about this villa. You are greeted by the most wonderful array of flowers, shrubs, trees when you arrive and it just gets better and better.The property is really well furnished with everything you need. If you need something else, ask David! We said early on that a microwave would be useful to help with toddlers milk and food etc...2 days later David turns up with a brand new microwave!Beds are super comfy and large, bathrooms large and very clean, well stocked kitchen, salami, cheese, wine, beer and olive oil all there ready. Logs were supplied for the chilly evenings in April, however it was 20C plus during each day so we were blessed with the weather.Both David and Ana are lovely people, they give great advice on days out, places to eat, things to do and are always happy to help. Lerici was lovely for lunch, Pisa interesting and lots more to see and do.Will we return? You bet we will

Excellent oroperty
If it's peace and quiet you're after this is the place for you. There are lots of seating areas with beautiful views and the only sounds are the birds and bees. We enjoyed many relaxing days by the pool enjoying the beautiful surroundings. The villa is within easy traveling distance to Cinque Terre, La Spezia,Pisa and many other attractions if you can tear yourself away.
David the owner was exceptionally helpful and was always available to give advice.
All and all we had a fantastic week.

Private Luxury Estate
I booked this beautiful place as a surprise for my husbands birthday. (5 adults and 3 children plus guests). My criteria were: private, luxury, pool, spacious (outdoor and indoor) barbecue and a view. I needed at place for children and adults to have a great holiday.
As a first time booker of private holiday homes, I must admit I was a bit nervous what would be awaiting. Everybody knows pictures can be deceiving. But every single bit of my doubts were put to shame when we arrived at this estate. It was simply just breathtaking. Every where you turn, you have the view of the amazing mountains - even from your bathroom window.
Having your morning coffee on the terrasse is simply amazing, cause you are surrounded by a 280 degree mountain view and silence.
All bedrooms are carefully decorated and all have beautiful bathrooms with high quality materials. The big kitchen/dinning area is inviting to conversation and cosy times. The house has L shaped terrace with a complete outdoor dinning area and a lounge area where you can see the sun rise and set over the mountains while enjoying your coffee/glass of wine.
As the cherry on top, the owners are welcoming and beyond helpful. (fx we had bought these air pool toys for our boys, but neither of us had the desire or lunges to blow them up, and vupti within the day David came with a pump :)
So in a nutshell, If you are looking for a completely private, high scale original detailed holiday house with a amazing view and space, well here it is. You will not be disappointed
Thank you again David, Ana and Jimmy for making the surprise birthday party and our holiday a time we will remember !
Sincerely,
The Dahl Tomasson family and friends

Wow - what a great place
Just perfect! The villa is as described - luxury, incredible views and the best pool any of us (8 friends) have had on any other holiday - and with a diving board. The villa is on the side of a mountain and gives the sense of a real escape but also only a 10 minute drive to amenities in Bagnone, with train station for day trips (although we only left the villa one day and ate out one night - we didn't want to leave!). Everything about the villa is all to such a high standard, beyond 'home from home' - there has been such attention to detail in the design and fittings and the villa just has such a lovely feel - helped by the stunning views from all rooms and the sweeping terrace (with huge bbq). If the villa wasn't enough, David the owner was awesome, really helpful with tips for the area, booking the one restaurant we did eat at and generally ensuring we had such a great holiday. We were 8 friends (aged 26/27) but I also think this villa would be ideal for families (great pool, ping pong table). I have already recommended to lots of people and can't imagine why anyone would not love this place!

Fantastic
Fantastic is just one of the words to describe this magical villa on the hillside.
We stayed as two families in the villa, over the years we have done lots of villa's around the world and this one stands out from the crowd.
The inside is immaculate and everything is provided to a very high standard, lots of space, beautiful rooms with lovely quirky decor, even down to a supply of red wine was on offer.
Outside, the gardens are beautiful and a lovely place to sit, the kids enjoyed the amazing (huge) pool. There are lots of areas to explore or just sit and drink wine.
For us the weather wasn't very good, but David (owner) and family made sure we had plenty of wood for the open fire, thick duvets on the beds and gave us details of things to do near by or see. Nothing seemed to much trouble for them to make sure our holiday was a relaxing time.
Thank you David and family for a wonderful stay and we wish you all many years of success with the Villa in Aria. We do hope to return one day.

Ludicrously good
Beautiful as ever, but lots of additions and improvements since our last stay in 2013. We hadn't realised how great the weather could be in this part of Tuscany after the main holiday season. (Imagine the perfect high summer's day in the UK and that's what we had here in late September).
The fresh vegetables from the garden were a revelation - a lunchtime salad with pomodori and a barbecue with grilled aubergine both picked minutes before. Then picking fresh grapes from the vineyard, followed by a swim to cool off, then a trip to one of the many excellent local restaurants. Bliss.

A Lunigiana gem with charm, beauty and serenity!
The first thing that hits you, after several hundred metres of private drive anticipation, is a stunning view across the valley followed by the un-asuming gable end of a traditional Tuscan hill side farm building. Initial thoughts that you are about to sleep in a stone barn rapidly disappear (at warp speed!) as you walk round the front of the property and take in (or try to as there is so much!) the view, the veranda, the patio, the garden, the vineyard, the olives, the woodland, the peace and solitude and of course, the pool!
Then, if you can draw breath as you will now need it, you will be stunned and wowed by the interior!. The owner has sparred no expense in sympathetically restoring and extending this charming old farm building to the highest possible standard - the quality of detail, fittings and decor is exceptional. The house was immaculately prepared for our arrival and was spotless and welcoming. The garden and patio flowers are beautiful, and the pool is perfection!
This wonderful house and location offered us so many things. Relaxation, privacy, quality, beautiful location with warm and friendly local villages packed with opportunities to shop and eat but still with good access to a couple of large towns and a stunning coastline.
It’s worth mentioning also, that no request, regardless of size or difficulty was too much for the owner to deal with or arrange.
My only reservation in writing this review is that it might result in someone booking the weeks that we want next time!

Great:views, pool,& privacy. Like to go back now!
"What is a review worth ? For your time, trip and weather will be different from ours. But what I can share with certainty is the steep climb is rewarded with over 220 degrees of absolutely stunning, ever changing from morning mist to mountain sunset, views over the Tuscan hills, a beautiful clean and furnished home, a pool large enough to have a decent swim, and an owner wise enough to care and facilitate your stay. From the generosity of the welcome, the recommendation of local restaurants and sites to the fresh fruit, vegetables and eggs.
Now the negatives, I doubt that you will get to stay here, because each of the comments in the visitor book promises they will return. And if they do, it is likely to be fully booked. Perhaps I broke the code of silence! Contact David to check availability, we received a speedy response to all our requests. Once visited never forgotten. Will we be back next year? Alas no, as the two weeks we wanted were booked!!"
