We hebben een heerlijke vakantie gehad in dit ongelofelijk sfeervolle huis met fantastisch uitzicht! We hebben een aantal dorpjes in de omgeving bezocht. De eigenaresse was heel vriendelijk en ze heeft een paar praktische problemen direct opgelost. We hebben helaas geen restaurants op loopafstand gevonden. In het dorp was wel een kleine bar waar je 's ochtends een kop koffie kon drinken en brood kon halen. De zippline bij het Vaglimeer was dicht / bestond niet meer. Dat was jammer. Al met al hebben we een heerlijke week gehad in een sprookjesachtige omgeving.

Sjarmerende stil
En veldig sjarmerende villa i en liten og hyggelig landsby. Stille og rolig område med en fantastisk utsikt. I landsbyen er det en liten butikk og kafe drevet av en koselig dame - for større utvalg av dagligvarer må du kjøre et lite stykke.

Prachtig huis, wel wat afgelegen
Prachtig en ruim huis, met schitterende veranda’s en uitzichten. Huis is voorzien van alle faciliteiten incl. ruim privé zwembad. Het ligt wel enigzins afgelegen en parkeren is wel een dingetje. In en uitladen kan bij het huis, maar oermanent parkeren niet. Stijl is heel smaakvol en charmant, maar wat onderhoud kan geen kwaad.
We had multiple changes (due to unforeseen circumstances) in terms of dates and people who stayed at the house and Guilia, the manager was extremely helpful and accommodating.
The house is just like the pictures. Amazingly beautiful and located in a spectacular setting. Close to many cool things to do. The lack of parking on site may be an issue for others (it wasn't for us). Other than that, simply perfect!
A beautiful house with excellent swimming pool. We enjoyed our stay very much. In the village The village there is only a small bar and shop with limited number of products (e.g. bread, water). There is no restaurant in the village.

Lovely atmospheric house with breathtaking views
The house is large, clean and nicely furnished with traditional Italian furniture. The views from the balcony are breathtaking. We ate at the local restaurant and the little bar shop in the village most nights. The pool is nice and was fine for us to play and cool off in. The area is amazing, different from other parts of Tuscany as there's not millions of tourists. We felt we had a real authentic experience staying here. We hope to return in the not too far future.

Rural Tuscan Villa
Excellent get away from it all location, beautiful villa, well equipped, pool to keep the kids entertained, we only had 2 days out during the week, we’ve never relaxed so much, Despite some reports we found the beds very comfortable. The owner, Guilia was very accommodating and helpful. An information booklet about the house would be helpful. Overall excellent holiday, one of the best we’ve had

Beautiful house in a beautiful location
Guilia was very helpful in providing local information. The property was great for a family of 4 adults & a baby without feeling like you’re living on top of each other due it’s size & layout. Would recommend to anyone.

Wonderful house, wonderful view!
This house is absolutely fantastic. You will experience instant stress relief when you enter it. There is plenty of space and the pool is fine. Some of the beds are quite lumpy and do not offer a good sleep. And the "garden" is mostly soil. But we can highly recommend this place. We enjoyed a very nice week here.

A beautiful location; very quiet and inviting; a great place for family and friends
The property was very well maintained, quiet and perfect for our family getaway. Garfagnana is a quiet location, but close enough to get to shops and tourist destinations. Our new friend, Giulia, made everything quite easy. She was a delight. This home takes you back in time, but has all the modern comforts that you'll need for a fun and memorable stay. We cannot wait for our next trip back to Italy, and hope we can make it back again.

The property, villa and village were all wonderful!
The owners were helpful and responsive to our questions and needs. Parking was a problem due to the size of our vehicle (9 passenger van) we had an 85 year old woman who could not walk up the hill to the van. A smaller vehicle could drive the narrow streets to get to the villa. The outdoor spaces were beautiful 2 large porches and the pool were where we spent most of our time. I highly recommend this Villa.

Nice view, quiet, lovely house and interior,
We enjoed a lot and the house was really nice.
Be aware that when you want to do something you need your car. The pool was not yet open and covered by an ugly foil and covered with green water. The garden is seperated from the house by a small street. The double bed was steel and did squeek at ny move. Nevertheless a beautiful place

An unforgettable trip!
This house is absolutely amazing! It made the perfect getaway for us traveling with friends and our children. The house is so charming and wonderful, that we ended up requesting to stay an extra day because we did not want to leave. Yes, it is a far drive from all of the major cities, but we found plenty of things to do around the area that were worth exploring! Also the village bar owner Olga created us a menu and served us a 4-5 course meal of local dishes that we found to be something so special. We can't wait to stay here again!

Beautiful holiday villa, very helpful owner, one or two drawbacks.
We had a wonderful week at this property. The setting is stunning, with views out to the Apuan Alps. The swimming pool is clean (and appears to use a non-chlorine purification system). The owner, who lives in the next village, is helpful and thoughtful. We toured some of the many nearby beauty spots, relaxed on the balcony, and swam in the pool. Bliss!
One or two points, however. As other reviewers have said, the beds are uncomfortable. The mattresses have a lot of springs and not enough foam! The Owners Direct website says that there is parking. However, it is not at the property but a couple of hundred meters away in the village, with a walk up a steep hill. This was not a problem for us, but other visitors might find it challenging. It would be best if the website could make the position clear.

Tuscan pearl
A fantastic house in beautiful, beautiful Garfagnana. The views, the outside areas, the pool (that was cleaned often), the surroundings, the people in the little village, the lady at the local pub, very good bathrooms, big kitchen and dish- and wash machine. The only thing that didn't meet up with the rest of the experience was the comfort of the beds - not good I´m afraid. And you have to be a good driver to get here...

Very nice but a bit far away from everything
Very nice house, pool... But situated deep in the mountains. It takes 1.5 to 2 hours to get to the sea, 1 hour to Lucca, etc... So very nice if you want to get away from it all, a little bit less if you want to visit cities and do activities...

Dream Vacation
Words cannot possibly describe our stay in Massarossa. Incredible home, views and close enough to drive to see other places as well. The owner was more than helpful and gracious. 20 stars!!!
