This completely private 2 bedroom cottage has been sympathetically refurbished, with traditional style flooring, beamed ceilings, solid wood windows, beautiful beamed ceilings, and an open fireplace. Attention to detail has ensured the house remains light and airy despite its traditional build… There is a spacious kitchen with oven, hob, dishwasher, washing machine, microwave, & fridge freezer. The kitchen is very well equipped with appliances. The window overlooks the garden and pool .The kitchen leads up a few stairs into a pretty living room with lots of windows, fireplace, TV, DVD, CD & comfy seating. Upstairs the house has a pretty double bedroom with door leading outside, a twin room (which can also be converted to a double) & a luxury shower room with hydro massage shower. There is also a very large light landing with sofa bed which can be used as a further living area or as a 3rd bedroom. Outside there is over 5 hectares of private land including a garden area , swimming pool,eating area, and woodland bordering a stream.

Wonderful retreat in the mountains of Tuscany
The location is wonderful: quiet, private, surrounded by a lovely garden and surrounded by woods. The house is very well kept and comfortable. Pool is lovely, just as the outdoor dining area. Great place to slow down!
Excellent house and location for resting and hiking
Nice house with large and well kept garden in beautiful and quiet surroundings. The pool was very nice and the caretakers were very helpful with any kind of needs we had. Highly recommendable.
Very secluded villa, beautiful well kept property with lovely hosts, they left a basket of food when they came to clean the pool which was a lovely touch and a homemade pie on arrival. On the day of arrival it was cold and rainy and they had lit the fire for our arrival.
Not much opportunity for eating out, every time we walked into the village all the restaurants were closed
Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2023

Great house in a beautiful peaceful setting
What a beautiful place. The house was great and had everything we needed for a relaxing week. Corfino has several small shops for essentials and is a lovely little village. Easy day trip to Lucca on the train and the San Romano ropes course was great. The swimming pool at the house was beautifully warm and clean. The owners were extremely nice and everything was easy. Highly recommended for those wanting complete peace and quiet! We were a family with 2 kids aged 10 and 12.

Private secluded piece of Tuscany
Very private and secluded villa, beautiful location away from the beaten track, pool and outside areas absolutely wonderful. The villa has plenty of space for a family and the facilities were excellent. If you're looking for something completely secluded then this is perfect for you. It's a fair drive to anywhere with a shop or restaurant (30 mins to the nearest big town). The owners were extremely friendly and accommodating. Only downside (and this is obviously not the fault of the owners) is the Tuscany insects which can be a pain - recommend some good insect repellant and an electric "zapper" to combat these!

Died and gone to heaven
his has to be the most secluded, beautiful, peaceful, enjoyable and relaxing holiday we have ever had, and we have 2 young (8 and 11) children. Finding the villa was an adventure, staying in the villa was a delight, we cannot wait to go back... which we will! I've no doubt for some families this will not be right, but for us, we thought it was heaven. The accommodation was immaculate, and the care shown by our hosts, (whom we actually only saw on arrival and when we left - they stay offsite), was nothing short of amazing. If you're looking for literally perfect, off the beaten track, quiet, restful and peaceful holidays, this is it.... Just don't book it when we want to!!

Romantic retreat, seclusion, privacy and views
A fabulous villa with plenty of space, with mountainous views, seclusion and privacy for 2 couple or a family of 4. Rosalba and her husband take meticulous care of their property, your visit and the pool which is heated by solar panels. Comfortable beds can be unusual in rental villas but these were the exception.
Really well equipped kitchen and log wood fire burner for those chilly evenings. We almost ran out of wood on our visit but our hosts were vigilant to our needs. The cake and eggs were an unusual treat not had on previous vacations, on other destinations.
The drive up is adventurous and the access road to the villa is a little challenging but secure. Drive further up the mountain to the national park area. Visits to the local towns are amazing and the locals really don't mind you trying out your Italian.
I not only recommend this villa but also Tuscan retreats, go for it folks!
We'll be back!

Stunning Setting
We had a little difficulty locating the property initially, but this was due to our tiredness from travelling rather than a problem with the property directions, which were good. We could hardly believe our eyes when the villa finally came into view - it is beautiful. Photographs do not do it justice.
Alessio and Rosalba keep a beautiful property in a stunning secluded location. The villa and pool are immaculate and this is due to Rosalba and Alessio's attention to keeping the property clean. They do this discretely. You would never know they had been, but for the beautiful gifts left behind! We thoroughly enjoyed a really relaxing stay, making use of the pool and the barbeque throughout. We loved the quietness - just the jingling of the goat bells in the distance broke the silence. Fantastic! And Rosalba's tartes are sublime treats. We can thoroughly recommend this villa for a relaxing holiday.
Es war ein sehr sauberes Haus. Die Vermieter waren super lieb. Man hat auf jeden Fall Privatsphäre und mit Hund ist die Unterkunft super. Der Pool war super sauber und richtig schön.
In diesem Haus hatten wir unseren schönsten Urlaub!! Ruhe, Natur und ein sagenhafter Pool! Wir können es kaum erwarten, dort wieder Urlaub machen zu dürfen!
Wir haben hier fast 2 Wochen verbracht (September). Wir haben den Gastgebern geschrieben, wann wir ankommen und wurden pünktlich empfangen. Das Haus ist groß, sehr sauber und es war wirklich alles da vorhanden und es hat uns im Haus nichts gefehlt! Der Pool wurde regelmäßig gereinigt (wir haben davon gar nicht mitbekommen, da es wohl früh morgens passiert). Wir sind mit Hund angereist und der Garten war perfekt dafür! Er ist fast durchgehend eingezäunt. Bis Corfino zu Fuß waren es 20 min - man kann da schön hinwandern. Das Haus ist im Wald gelegen, sodass man tagsüber und nachts nichts hört außer die Tiere. Privatsphäre pur! Für Kaminholz ist ebenfalls gesorgt! Wir haben die Zeit sehr genossen und können die Unterkunft sehr empfehlen! Auch die Abreise ging super problemlos. Die Gastgeber waren einfach so zuvorkommend, nett und einfach nur toll. Vielen Dank für den schönen Aufenthalt!!! Linda, Michael & Cooper
Das Ferienhaus liegt mitten in den Bergen.Das Haus und der Garten sind sehr gepflegt.
Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Der Pool ist perfekt. Die Vermieter sehr freundlich und zurückhaltend. Wenn man viele Ausflüge machen möchte muss man mit längeren Fahrzeiten rechnen. Wer Ruhe und Erholung sucht wird sich wohlfühlen.
Das Haus liegt etwas abgelegen und war zunächst schwer zu finden.
Der Urlaub dort war wunderschön und die Gastgeber sehr nett.
Das Dorf mit einem kleinen Laden und Pizzeria und Restaurants ist zu Fuß in etwa 25 Minuten über einen schönen Weg erreichbar.
Insgesamt sehr empfehlenswert, wenn man seine Ruhe haben will!
Dieses Haus ist wirklich super gepflegt. Die Vermieter sind sehr nett und kümmern sich um alles! Vielen Dank noch einmal!
Das Haus liegt in ziemlicher Höhe in völliger Alleinlage. Man hat Ruhe und es stört einen wirklich niemand.
Der Pool ist super und immer schön warm.
Das Haus ist schön eingerichtet, so dass man sich richtig wohl fühlen kann.
Ein wirklich tolles Haus in toller Lage!
Schönes Haus mit tollem Pool im Niemandsland, Wanderungen im Oricchella-Park mit/ohne Guide absolut lohnenswert,
Einkaufen in Corfino gut möglich,
sehr entspannte Woche, Pool wurde morgens um 7 dreimal in der Woche gereinigt, ansonsten war man komplett für sich
Man kann nur sagen, einfach wunderschön.
Tolles Ambiente im Inneren und im aussenbereich auch sehr liebevoll gestaltet.
Der Pool ist wirklich groß und es hat den Kindern sehr viel spaß gemacht darin zu schwimmen und mit einem Wasserballern zu spielen.
Mann ist mit dem Auto in 30 Minuten bei Guten Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und in 1:30 in Pisa und in 2:30 in Florenz.
Sehr viele Wander Möglichkeiten.
Liebe Grüße
Fam. Kornek
Wir haben hier genau das gefunden, wonach wir gesucht haben. Ein einsam gelegenes Haus mit Pool in einer wunderschönen Umgebung. Wer sich zu 100% erholen möchte, fernab vom sonstigen Urlaubstrubel, ist hier genau richtig. Die Vermieter sind super nett und haben uns sogar mit Kuchen, frischen Eiern und Salat versorgt. In diesem Haus ist man komplett für sich, nur Wald und Berge drumherum. Die Zufahrt zum Haus ist sehr spannend, lohnt sich jedoch definitiv. Das war mit Abstand unser schönster Urlaub, weil einfach alles stimmte und wir uns zu 100% erholen konnten. Wir werden mit Sicherheit öfter dort unseren Urlaub verbringen. Lieben Dank nochmal an die tollen Vermieter!
We had a wonderful stay. Our landlords gave us a very warm welcome - they even baked a cake for us as a welcome present! As our predecessors had already partly mentioned, the house is in reality much more beautiful than on the photos. There are a lot of details that you cannot see on the photos. It is ideal for a family with 2 children or even a couple, as in our case. The pool has a good size of estimated 10 m x 5 m with a depth of 1.40. Every 2 days the owners clean the pool in the early morning around 7:00 am. On Saturday after our arrival, a basket of Italian herbs, tomatoes, eggs, potatoes and flowers was on the terrace table - we were so happy about it! We almost did not have to go shopping. Shopping is possible in the nearby romantic village of Corfino, where there is a small shop. The next bigger supermarket is in Gallicano and can be easily reached by car. We were there at the end of August. During the day it is very warm, but in the evening it cools down a lot, so you should definitely pack a jumper or a cardigan. On our arrival we were a bit late - we had overlooked that you should not drive through the mountains under any circumstances, as it was written in the travel description of the agency. On the outward journey we took a wrong turn in the Apuan Alps, and from then on the GPS guided us criss-cross through the mountains, with some very steep serpentines and through roads that one would rather call hiking trails. You should definitely head for the house via the larger towns. The path that you see on the photos is a private path that you can only reach through an entrance gate. The way to the gate was not so easy to find - we passed it at least 2 times before we found it. We had a very relaxed stay and the owners are really very nice. Thanks for these wonderful holidays!
Wir hatten als Familie mit 3 Kindern einen sehr schönen Urlaub, der Pool ist richtig groß und wurde regelmäßig sauber gemacht. Für Ausflüge muss man meist eine etwas längere Fahrt in Kauf nehmen, was uns aber nicht gestört hat, da wir bestes Wetter hatten und uns das Baden im Pool völlig gereicht hat.
Wir hatten tolle 10 Tage in dem Ferienhaus. Alles sehr sauber, private Lage, keine anderen Gäste, sehr angenehm. Das Haus war sehr sauber und gepflegt, der Kontakt zur Agentur und den Vermietern nett und problemlos.
Alles in allem sehr zu empfehlen, gerne wieder.
