Our family of 5 had a lovely, comfortable stay. The property is exactly as pictured. The beds were very comfortable. We stocked up at the Penny Market in Aulla and enjoyed exploring the area. A day trip to Luca and Cinque Terre were amazing.

This home is just wonderful! The house, the views, all of it. If you want a cozy spot with peace and quiet, one with good restaurants around, or a kitchen to try your own Italian cooking in, this is it. And the pool is an added bonus. Tony answered any questions we had and left us some lovely wine. Such a pleasant place to spend a vacation! Was tough to leave!

Thanks for a lovely peaceful stay at the villa - beautiful views too. Day out in Lucca was a definite highlight.

The villa is in a great position looking over to Monte pisanino , After a hectic day poolside nothing can beat sitting with a glass of local wine looking at that view This is our second visit and all being well we intend to make a third visit next year Thank yo7 Tony and Linda

This property is magical. From the house to the pool very very private to the most amazing view. Well appointed beautiful and clean. Could not fault it. We had the best time there and highly recommend if you want peace and quiet. We went on lots of easily accessible day trips with our car but the train and bus stations are close by if needed. We had some authentic Italian meals in the many restaurants dotted around the district. Can not recommend this place highly enough.

Lovely property with stunning views of the mountains, if you are looking for a quiet relaxing holiday this is the place to go

Wonderful!

We had a great holiday. One of the best locations in years. Especially the view onto the mountains is fabulous. Tony is a great host. Excellent communication. The house is perfect for a family of 6.

Our stay exceeded our expectations. We came for peace, quitet and relaxation and we got exactly that. Everything was well equipped and the view and pool was spectacular.

For everyone looking for peace and quietness, the perfect house with lots of privacy. Unfortunately we also had a few rainydays during our stay and discovered that the house is very smal for six people. We also understand something else under the cleaning-description “a standard that most sensitive people would consider satisfactory”. When the sun is shining, the great potential of the property comes into its own. The large pool with the max. 23 degrees warm water (october), enough seating and lounging options and a great grill. The house is equipped with almost everything necessary. The beds were very comfortable. However, there was no dining table for 6 people in the house. We had to help ourselves out with the garden table. We also missed a real coffee pot in the land of good coffee. Kenneth, who was responsible for the pool, was a great help. He always responded immediately to our calls and gave us many helpful and up-to-date tips for restaurants, markets and shops in the region. Thank you Kenneth!

We had an amazing time staying at Cassa Falcetto. The house is just lovely and had everything we needed. It is tastefully and simply decorated and was perfect for our needs. The view is simply stunning and takes your breath away. The swifts fly down and drink from the pool while you are in it and other than a few mildly irritating horsefly bites there were virtually no mosquitos. The roads are challenging but we soon got used to it and had various trips to local villages which was fun but we didn’t do much sightseeing due to Covid 19. It was the perfect covid getaway! Paul was very helpful and quick to respond when we had a problem and all in all it was a super relaxing holiday

This property has everything you need. We visited in October and were lucky enough to sit in the sun by the pool. It is a brilliant location which is peaceful and quiet with outstanding views. We found the guide book particularly helpful. We would recommend this place to anyone wanting to visit this part of the world.

If you’re looking to get lost for a week or more, but still have access to all that northern Tuscany has to offer then this is the place! The views: amazing! The property: clean, spacious and very nicely appointed. The vicinity - basically its all yours! There’s no other houses or anything close by (a car is mandatory) but that’s exactly what we were looking for! Although finding the place at first is a bit tricky, that’s part of the experience! Tony and family went out of their way to provide excellent “town by town” directions and we were smart enough to fly-in midday, so plenty of sun to find our way there. First impressions: pool - stunning, views - stunning, house - impeccably clean, drive up to house - challenging (but completely doable in any decent car). Over the week we used this as our base and visited the Cinque Terre, Lucca and Florence by train (just 9 mins drive away), Pisa and drove into Emilia-Romagna as well! It was perfectly situated to get us where we wanted to go without much hassle and coming back to this bit of “heaven on earth” and a dip in the pool each evening allowed us to unwind after some interesting / harrowing drives. There’s also a well documented book with all the local things to do, restaurants, activities, etc. they really have gone out of their way to make sure you’ll enjoy every second of your stay! The ONLY downside was a concrete beam that seems to suspend just across the top of the stairs headed to the bedrooms that I repeatedly whacked with my head (I’m 6’5” tall) and almost sent us to the hospital one night (as it also is in the path to the bathroom). I might suggest a different colour or even a hanging item there that would remind us taller folk! All in all - a spectacular week enhanced by the weather and our sightseeing trips! I have about 100 photos of the views from the property and a few will be hanging on our walls for the memories, back home soon! I know lots of people say this, but we mean it: we WILL be back!!

We loved our stay here. The home was beautiful and peaceful and had everything we could possibly need. Tony was great to deal with and provided lots of information about the local towns for us. We also loved having a pool to ourselves and used it everyday.

This was a beautiful property in a beautiful location. We had an issue on the first night with the outside lights not working but we emailed tony and it was sorted the next day by a local couple who look after the property. Although we like rurality we struggled for things like bread as it doesn't keep overnight and we had to be more organised or go out every day. The holiday was fantastic and we would recommend this property.

Our first experience of Tuscany was top notch. The Villa is perfect - plenty of room for a family of 4 with all home comforts. The pool was a wonderful treat and relief in the heat, and the welcome wine was a lovely surprise. The surrounding countryside is spectacular and the view from the property is stunning. Plenty of amazing flora and fauna on the door step and swimming in the pool whilst swallows swooped to drink around me was a great experience. We also saw plenty of birds, deer and think we hear a wild boar whilst walking the local trails. There are myriad local day trip options - Pisa and Florence were busy but worth the effort. Cinque Terre was stunning but a little too busy for us admittedly in August. Lerici beach was a better beach experience for us - stunning views, golden sand and you can hire chairs or loungers. Local food options were delicious and great value. The cheese and meat shop in Metra around the corner from the restaurant (La Buffalo?) sold the most delicious mozarella and pecorino straight from the producer. Other great day trips were Equi Therme caves and lido, local lake (Lago di Gramolazzo) with boat hire at camp site, Lucca is stunning and worth some time. Just relaxing at the Villa and walking the deserted local trails / pottering in the nearby towns and villages kept us well entertained. Many thanks for providing the base for a truly wonderful and relaxing summer holiday.

The property was very clean, tastefully decorated, furnished and equipped and in wonderful surroundings. The pool was warm and a beautifully situated with a fantastic view of the mountains and the night sky. The villa is off the beaten track so be prepared to face winding, narrow roads for @ the last 5 kilometres and a long rough track on the property. Lots of wildlife, including insects and lizards, although few mosquitoes and a sighting of a wild boar on one evening. Lovely wildflower bank and also plenty of flowers. I would love to visit again.

We have stayed in many different villas in the area , this is the best by far , a view to die for , missing it already The new kitchen is very well equipped and well thought out also the new outside seating We would be back next week if it were possible Hope to be back next year 😀�

Really fantastic vacation in the mountains of northern Tuscany! The house, while having a small footprint, comfortably fit our party of 5. Clean and well appointed, the house enabled us to have a wonderful vacation. The hosts were kind enough to provide us with a couple of bottles of wine upon arrival- that’s a really nice touch. Would have liked the pool a bit warmer but it was April and cool at night so understandable. Quaint little villages all around that we enjoyed exploring. The views are priceless! A wonderful respite. Thank you!

The only disappointment about Casa Falcetto is dragging yourself away from its idyll into the maelstrom of Tuscany's more frenetic parts. Great imagination has gone into designing a house that sits amidst a panorama which changes beguilingly with the light. This part of Tuscany is untouched by tourism, making it a unique haven. Nearby Pugliano is a curious delight - the 'pub', pizza and small shop all delightful. Every Saturday in August there's a community knees up worth attending. As mentioned elsewhere the pranzos are amazing in taste and value. Be warned, best booking Spino's near Reusa as despite its remoteness its very popular (closed Mondays) and for good reason. Also, Hotel Belvedere beyond Metra well worth a sundowner and evening meal. Cinque Terre towns in August is a bit like being funneled through a packed football stadium - but would recommend the Blue Marlin in Vernazza whose owner plays the piano bringing calm to chaos. The best bit was returning to Falcetto with the children playing endlessly in the pool, then sipping wine before tucking into a barbecue. As probably gathered, can't recommend this holiday home enough - it helped create one of our most relaxing holidays. Thank you Tony.

We had a fabulous week based here and exploring the stunning countryside on foot and by car. If you are looking for total privacy, breathtaking views and a beautiful villa, inside & out, this is perfect. We will definitely be returning (something we never do). We were a family of 4, the pool was a real hit with the children, but there is plenty of space for 6 people. It got a little chilly outside in the evenings but we enjoyed watching some of the DVDs and playing games left for our use by the owners. Really comfortable beds too - it gets light by 07:00 so an eye mask was the only thing missing.

We had a wonderful week staying in this villa, and also recommend a visit to Lucca and the coast.

Das Haus befindet sich in einer wunderbaren Umgebung, ohne Nachbarn doch mit vielfältigsten Tieren aus der Natur. Wir konnten Schwalben, Fledermäuse, Rehe, Fasane etc. auf dem Grundstück begrüßen. Die Auffahrt zum Haus war allerdings sehr beschwerlich und eine große Belastung für das Auto. Das Haus, das Grundstück und der Pool sind in einem sehr guten Zustand und traumhaft schön. Die Sauberkeit im Haus war für uns jedoch nur befriedigend. Da es im Haus keine Klimaanlage gibt wäre es für uns wünschenswert gewesen, Moskitonetze vor den Fenstern zu haben, um auch nachts beruhigt mit offenem Fenster schlafen zu können. Alles in allem war es für uns ein wundervoller Urlaubsort, um in Ruhe zu entspannen und das Land genießen zu können. Wir würden jederzeit gerne wiederkommen! Einen lieben Dank auch an Linda und Toby Perkins, die im Vorfeld sehr bemüht waren unsere Fragen zu beantworten.

Perfect retreat with the most stunning views. A rather bumpy road leads to the cosy villa, where you can enjoy complete tranquillity, a heated pool and dining al fresco with fireflies dancing in the background. Lots of interesting old towns to visit: a daytrip to Lucca by local train through the Garfagnana valley, Sarzana, Fivizzano, Pontremole and the old Carrara town centre and a visit by boat to the Cinque Terre coastal villages. There is a new sophisticated BBQ, but for us, cookery freaks, the kitchen was rather unpractical with a smoke alarm right above the hob. We found local people to be extremely friendly and helpful and it is worthwhile to taste the local products.

Perfect for a family or couple to chill. Views spectacular. Very helpful and attentive owners.

Had a great holiday at this lovely rural villa. Stunning views from the good size heated pool we swam everyday and at night. Beautiful butterflies around the garden in the daytime and fireflies at night. Deer in the lower garden one evening. The villa is clean comfortable and spacious with everything we needed. We found the property easily following the owners directions. Track up to villa a bit rustic for anyone only used to city driving but only to be expected for such a lovely rural retreat.

Thank you Tony and Linda for letting us stay in your beautiful house in Northern Tuscany. We had a very beautiful four nights stay with sunshine and birds singing every day. A car is essential but every journey you see something different from the amazing coastline and beautiful Italian ports to mountains and ancient towns. The roads networks are very good and the views are from the house are incredible - we hope to return very soon. Best wishes Mark & Kerry Eldridge

My partner and I had a lovely week-long stay at Casa Falcetto. We wish we had booked another week! It's very relaxing with breathtaking views over the mountains. The villa is well equipped with everything you need - everything has been thought of from a well stocked kitchen, BBQ, pool to insect repellent (not needed during our stay), replacement light bulbs, beach towels and linens, etc. The recommendations provided by the owner of nearby towns and restaurants to visit were much appreciated! We especially enjoyed Spino Fiorito, where we had a traditional, very reasonably priced dinner twice. We will definitely be recommending the villa to family and friends looking for accommodation in Italy and hope to return one day ourselves.

Idyllic is an overused word for holiday locations but the setting for Casa del Falcetto is really just that. Complete peace and quiet, amazing views, a beautiful swimming pool and an attractive house to set it all off. But you are far from isolated as within a 5 to 10 minute drive there are a number of really nice small villages most of which have a bar or supermarket and in some cases a restaurant where you can enjoy the local 'pranzo' lunch - wine, water and 3 courses for 12 euros! We could have done with a little more space in the kitchen but it would be churlish to criticise and there were plenty of other features which more than compensated such as waking up to the views from the bedrooms, lots of info and free wi-fi. The website description is very accurate and booking arrangements could not have been easier including comprehensive directions. Although the road up from Aulla after you leave the motorway does seem never ending it is well worth it and is only about 40 minutes. In any case, the setting is so lovely you will have settled in within minutes of arriving at the villa and ready for a truly beautiful experience.

We spent 2 weeks at this beautiful house with its stunning views of the surrounding mountains. The house was nicely appointed and very comfortable. My only criticism is that the kitchen area is a little small, but this didn't matter much because we spent a lot of time barbecuing. The house is quite remote and you have to drive to get to local shops and restaurants, but it's a fantastic location for a get away from it all holiday.
