Amazing views and lovely rustic old building with plenty of charm. Fredrico and Siminetta couldn't have been more friendly and helpful throughout our fortnight stay. Our two grandchildren practically lived in the out door swimming pool.

This is an amazing ranch near.lucca. super isolated but beautiful. The pool and hosts were fantastic.

A superb accommodation featuring a beautiful view of Tuscany. The owners were always kind and helpful. We would recommend this property unreservedly.

What a beautiful setting to enjoy the Tuscany area of Italy. We choose the location and then did day trips to a variety of locations. The owners are so helpful and warm.

It took a few days to settle in but then it was beautifully quite & fantastic views all around...you did not see the family who lived there unless you wanted to, they where absolutely wonderful people. Fredrico the owner spoke no English & I spoke no Italian but we hit it off & understood each other completely & his wife & sons where lovely...what a laugh we had,it was nice looking around the local area but always great to get back to the ranch...so relaxing & chilltastic.Would I go there again...ho yes but I would fly not drive..Terry JonesPs. Thanks to the family for making us feel at home x

Vi var to familier med i alt 8 personer. Det var lidt for mange. Værtsparret er meget søde og hjælpsomme. Vær opmærksomme på, at huset at vanskeligt at komme til. Grusvejen er meget stejl og gruset løst. Den egner sig kun til 4-hjulstrækker. Det gjorde, at vi ikke kom ligeså meget ud i området som vi havde håbet.

The owners and their family ( and pets) couldnt have been more lovely and helpful and this contributed to make it a perfect week. The property itself was characterful and beautifully furnished. The surrounding countryside was stunning and if you have the energy then a mountain bike ride to nearby villages is well worth it (and easier than driving a large vehicle round the numerous hairpin bends.) We were glad we had stocked up on the way at Essenlunga in the nearby town of Marlia as we could then relax around the villa for the first few days. Overall it was an amazing holiday - complete with our first sighting of fireflies and eagles..

We had the most fantastic week. Do not be put off by the gravel road leading to Carpineta Ranch it is worth the adventure! It is also worth mentioning the supermarket in Marlia which is very handy for stocking up on provisions for the week. This location offered us the perfect place to explore and relax. The property itself is very comfortable and well equipped with plenty of room for all 7 of us. Outside in the grounds and by the pool you are treated to the most spectacular views. Evening meals spent outside at the large dining table accompanied by the sound of crickets were especially memorable. In terms of venturing out, the town of Lucca is very near by and with some research we visited nearby mountain villages plus a day trip to Florence. Trains run half hourly from Lucca and take around an hour 30 mins. Simply taking a mountainside walk to the nearby church ruin has rewarding views. The owners Simonetta, Frederico and family are charming, warm and fun. They couldn't help us enough. (They are not fluent English speaking - members of our party did speak Italian and French which helps) plus their dogs Buck and Freda - and the cat - are very friendly too! We would definitely visit again and cannot thank them enough for their hospitality. A truly Italian experience!

Lovely hospitable host family who couldn't have been more helpful and inviting, whilst ensuring we had the privacy to enjoy the beautiful location and comfortable accommodation. We had a truly authentic Tuscany experience and would highly recommend.

Dear familiy Campetti, we would like to say thank you for the joyful holidays that we had in your house. We loved the landscape. Especially our grandson are now missing the great swimming pool. The rooms were beautifull and very typically for tuskane. The way to the house was every time a adventure but now problem for us. Allt he best for your family Hans-Jürgen Springer

We spent a wonderful 6 nights at Carpineta Ranch and loved everything about it. The house is rustic, full of character and very well equipped. I was a bit worried about not having air con but the air in the mountains was cooler and made for comfortable sleeping also helped by comfortable beds and lovely crisp fresh bedding. Great pool, lovely garden, stunning views. The owners were very welcoming and helpful but do not speak much English so brush up on your Italian or Spanish!

Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Das Haus ist sauber und der Blick in die unberührte Landschaft sagenhaft. Die Vermieter sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Ein rundum gelungener Urlaub.

A typically rustic Tuscan farmhouse, set in the hills, only 20 minutes from Lucca. Whole family made us feel very welcome. The views from the pool were amazing, so peaceful, we didn't want to go anywhere!

Posizione Fantactic e un'ottima sistemazione/Fantactic location and great accommodation.

Great place and hospitality surrounded by the beautiful hills of Tuscany. Only 25 minutes driving from the historical centre of Lucca, near to the beach and the mountains of Garfagnana. We had a great and relaxing time, we will certainly go back again.
