Excellent property in every way. Owner was welcoming, hospitable, helpful and friendly. Great for two couples or a family of four. Quiet with dark sky at night. Beautifully kept grounds. Pool and pool furniture were great.

Great quiet location

The property is a super conversion and in a beautiful and quiet village up in the mountains. Fabio is a wonderful host who is very welcoming, easily contactable and makes sure you have everything you need during your holiday. The accommodation is comfortable and well equipped. and the pool is great although we stayed when the weather was a bit too cold to get the most use from it! Easy to get to Florence or Pisa for the day by train. If you are looking for a retreat from a busy world would definitely recommend

Hoe een vakantie hoort te zijn

We really enjoyed staying in casa al melo. A rural, quiet and lovely place to stay with our family of 4. Altough the pool was not heated, is was a perfect cooling in the hot weather. The view over the moutains were stonning. The owner supplied us regularly with fresh vegetables from their land and local products. A tomato salad never tasted that good 😊. The only minus was that althe supermarket was not closeby, but hey, that’s worth the sacrifice!

Beautiful rural mountain location

Fabio was a great host making us feel so welcome bringing us fresh cherries and generally making sure we had all we needed. Accommodation and pool were great, not a heated a pool but on hot days that’s no issue. Location was perfect for us as it provided privacy, tranquillity and views while also only being a 15 min drive from a shop, train station which put Lucca, Pisa and Braga all within reach. We’d recommend lunch in Braga and dinner in Roggio - Perfecto! Don’t be put off by no air conditioning, because it’s in the hills the bedrooms downstairs are sheltered from the sun so are lovely and cool at night which was such a treat after a hot day. Thanks Fabio for a wonderful holiday

Einfach ein Traum

Unser Urlaub zu fünft (3 Kinder von 4-10) war echt super. Pool und Haus (hier kann man wirklich nicht mehr von Scheune sprechen) hervorragend, Fabio war ein Schatz und stand uns mit Rat und Tat zur Seite soweit mit frischem Obst. Einziges Manko für uns war, dass es doch in der Nähe nichts zum Einkaufen und essen gehen gab, Jedoch würden wir schon mal wieder kommen.

Für uns perfekt !

Der gesamte Aufenthalt war für uns genau nach Wunsch. Wirklich sympatische Gastgeber, die kompetent beraten haben und stets einen guten Tip parat hatten. (Danke, Fabio und Elisa) Und ein Ferienhaus samt eigenem Pool, im Übrigen wirklich sehr sauber, wo man seine Auszeit so richtig geniessen kann. Grandiose Aussicht samt Rehen, Wildschwein, Dachs und Käuzchen. Ein motorisierten, fahrbaren Untersatz sollte man aber schon haben. Und vor allem: Spaß am Fahren ! Wirklich fussläufig kann man hier seinen Einkauf nämlich nicht mal so eben erledigen. Da wir ohnehin gern mit dem Auto auch kleinste Bergsträßchen in dieser herrlichen Landschaft erkunden wollten, war das aber eher ein äußerst willkommener Umstand. (auch wenn div. namenhafte Kartendienste abseits der Hauptverkehrswege hin und wieder die Zusammenarbeit mit den digitalen Inhalten der italienischen Karten beharrlich verweigerten) Fazit: Wir hätten bleiben wollen....lange!

wunderschönes Haus

Wir waren eine Woche in diesem Haus, es ist sehr schön, sehr sauber und man hat hier alles, was man braucht. Der Vermieter Fabio ist sehr freundlich und kümmert sich um alle Belange. Zwischendurch haben wir aus seinem nebenan liegenden Garten frisches Obst und Gemüse bekommen. Der Pool und Garten sind perfekt zum Entspannen und sehr schön angelegt. Einziger kleiner Kritikpunkt ist der Zuweg zum Haus. Der Weg ist ziemlich schmal und steil, nichts für Sportwägen. Ansonsten alles tiptop, in jedem Fall weiter zu empfehlen!

Traumhafte Lage, Top Service

Der Weg in die Apuanischen Alpen und die Zufahrt zum Grundstück sind zwar etwas wild, aber Al Melo lohnt sich auf jeden Fall. Mit normalem PKW kein Problem, tiefergelegten Fahrzeugen allerdings nicht zu empfehlen. Die Einzellage ist top, herrliche Aussicht von Terrasse und Garten und Pool. Nachts sind um das eingezäunte Grundstück Rehe, Hirsche und Wildschweine unterwegs. In der letzten Nacht haben wir sogar einen Dachs gesehen. Gastgeber Fabio ist super nett und hat uns regelmäßig mit frischem Gemüse und Himbeeren vom Feld unterhalb des Hauses versorgt. Einmal hat er uns sogar extrem leckere Pizza aus dem Holzofen vorbei gebracht. Wenn irgend etwas nicht passt, kümmert er sich sofort darum. Die gesamte Anlage ist top ausgestattet. Wir haben auch oft den Grill genutzt. Ausflüge z.B. nach Lucca, Pisa oder ans Meer dauern etwas , da man immer erst aus den Bergen raus muss. Die Straßen werden z.T. auch als Ralley-Strecke genutzt. Einmal war die Ortsstraße gesperrt wegen Tests einer Ralley-Reifenfirma. Sehr spannend, sich das mal hautnah anzuschauen. Alles in allem zwei sehr schöne Wochen!!!

Entspannung Pur =)

Wer mal Ruhe braucht, findet sie hier. Ein uneinsehbares Grundstück sorgt für paradiesische Verhältnisse, der Besitzer hat uns dabei mit Obst und Gemüse versorgt. Auch die Tiere rund ums Grundstück (Rehe, Wildschweine, ...) kommen bis an den Zaun. Wir haben uns hier sehr Wohl gefühlt.

Tränenreicher Abschied

Ein wundervolles, blitzsauberes, gepflegtes Haus in herrlicher Abgeschiedenheit, in dem wir einen 3-Generationen-Urlaub verbracht haben. Jeden Tag haben wir andere Tiere auf unserem Grundstück gesehen. Unsere Enkelin hat hier schwimmen gelernt. Fabio, der Vermieter, hat uns mit frischem Obst und Gemüse versorgt und sich sofort um all unsere Anliegen gekümmert. Er hat uns Reitstunden vermittelt, Tische im Restaurant reserviert, täglich Pool und Außenbereich gesäubert und uns sehr freundlich behandelt. Wir haben uns sehr willkommen gefühlt. Man braucht unbedingt ein Auto - der nächste Supermarkt ist 4km weit weg, ebenso die Restaurants. Auch andere Ausflugsziele sind ein ganzes Stück entfernt. Umso leichter fiel es uns, richtig herunter zu kommen. Genau das richtige, zu COVID-Zeiten. Wir hatten kaum Kontakte, überall im Ort wurden vorbildlich und ohne Diskussion Masken getragen und Fieber gemessen. Im Haus selbst waren alle Kontaktschalter in Folien gepackt (Fernbedienung,Lichtschalter), es standen ausreichend Desinfektionsmittel, Handschuhe und Masken zur Verfügung. Wir haben uns zu jeder Zeit sehr sicher gefühlt. Beim Abschied gab es heiße Tränen bei uns allen. Wir hoffen sehr, dass wir bald wiederkommen können….

Beautiful setting, lovely villa, clean and comfortable

This is one of the most beautiful places we have stayed. We stayed for 12 days from end of May to early June. The villa is everything described and more. It was so wonderful waking up to the sound of the birds every morning and sitting on the patio in the evening watching the sun set over the mountains. The pool and gardens are kept immaculate by Fabio and Elisa who work very hard for their guests, and will go above and beyond to make your stay in this delightful converted barn as special as possible. The village of Camporgiano is lovely with a charming little wine bar serving free bar snacks/nibbles in the evening! We would recommend eating at the Lo Scalome, Panigacceria restaurant, delicious. Only open at weekends. Also, the Agriturismo in Roggio serves authentic Italian food and lots of it, so go hungry. The local people are very friendly and many speak some English. If you love wildlife this is the place for you. We saw wild Boar, Golden Eagles, Deer, lots of Wall Lizards, a Giant Moth, Fireflies....Scorpions and Snakes, don't worry both of which are harmless. Fabio and Elisa also grow an extensive fruit and vegetable garden that you can eat from. Unfortunately, nothing was ready when we were there. There is quite a steep narrow track leading to Al Melo, but you very soon get used to it. We visited Lucca by train, this was so easy and cheap. The train station is directly opposite the walls of Lucca. We also caught the train to Cinque Terre, which was also pretty straightforward. Make sure you check the times of the return train, as we missed the last one and had to take a taxi from la Spetzia. Not cheap.

Peaceful tranquility, in beautiful location

We arrived late at night in the rain in a very remote location in northern Tuscany and to be fair we were a little apprehensive about what sort of holiday we would have. However, we were met by Fabio the owner, in the village centre to take us down to the property. Fabio was available throughout our stay, and put himself out when I had an issue with my hire car. Although late and dark we could see the villa was as perfect as the pictures found on various websites. In the morning the rain had cleared and the sun was shining and we now saw the true beauty of the location. Fabio had invited us to help ourselves to fresh fruit and veg from the allotment opposite the villa so we did whilst the children enjoyed the ample sized pool. As I said the location is very remote so be prepared for a fair amount of driving if you want to explore (45 mins to the bigger supermarket in Gallicano and at least 20 mins to the nearest town of note) The local train service is excellent and cheap. Trains can be caught to Lucca, Florence and Pisa from Camporgiano station which is 10 mins from the villa. There are several restaurants in the area but all a Car journey away. Colletti in Roggio is a must, incredible value for the amount of quality food you receive. Overall the villa & location made our holiday a fabulous experience and we would definitely recommend to anyone wishing to get a taste of pure Italy, And we hope to visit again.

Casa Roc, Albiano

Casa Roc, Albiano One of the most striking things about this lovely villa is its idyllic location, on the edge of a hillside village with every window overlooking the garden, the valley and the ancient, typically Tuscan, hill town of Barga. But it doesn't end there. The villa itself is as depicted and has all the amenities we could possibly require. It is spacious, tastefully decorated and furnished and the kitchen is very well equipped. There is a pleasant outside seating area with stunning views and we enjoyed using the gas barbecue every evening and sitting outside until late. With such a setting, why would you wish to eat and drink elsewhere? The lovely pool, with in-built Jacuzzi, is of a good size with plenty of sunbathing space around, and in mid-June we had sunshine from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. There is off-road parking space. Wifi worked consistently. The small village of Albiano is a short walk away and has a restaurant. There is a very good Conad supermarket (the only such store for 40 miles or so), just a few miles away. Every trip does involve a short drive down a winding hillside road, but this is a very minor inconvenience and in some ways adds to the fun. Besides, without that there would be no fabulous views! There are lots of things to see and do in the area, from touring the mountains, to visiting historic villages and towns, including the incredibly well preserved Lucca and, of course, Pisa. The agents were available and most helpful when we needed them. As inveterate villa-hirers, we loved our time here and, although we have never in the past returned to the same place again, this will be an exception to our rule.

Peaceful retreat with magnificent views!

We had a lovely stay at Al Melo. When we arrived there was a lovely welcome basket. Facilities are superb, plenty of kitchen equipment, Sky tv, wifi, plenty of books. The bedrooms are downstairs and are lovely and cool making for a restful night. The garden is beautiful and the pool was at a refreshing 26/27 degrees. Lots of different places to sit, with tables to eat, an outside brick barbecue. Fantastic views all round. Fabio and Elisa were lovely hosts, they were not intrusive, yet were on the other end of a phone if you needed them. They made us feel welcome, left gifts of potatoes and baby plums, that brings me onto the vegetable garden which we were able to help our selves to when ever we wanted - lots of herbs - a very novel 'basil bath'! The views all around are magnificent, lots of wildlife, seeing deer, Eagles, woodpeckers, lots of friendly lizards. Would recommend visiting the restaurant in Roggio, and spend time visiting the surrounding mountain villages and towns, which were beautiful. Al Melo is an ideal place for peace and tranquility, taking in the views, enjoying the sun, and if you want to explore Tuscany you not too far from some beautiful cities, with the drives down the mountain roads being magnificent. Thank you Fabio & Elisa for a lovely stay.

Amazing place

We had a really lovely week at Al Melo. We flew in to Pisa and drove up to the house. With a stop in Gallicano to the super market, the journey from the airport is about 1hr45, but what a drive!! The scenery and views all the way up the valley are spectacular. The road up from Camporgiano is hilly and twisty, but it is so worth it. You arrive in Puglianella main square, where Fabio we'll meet you and take you down to the house. The track down is very narrow and steep, so don't hire anything bigger than a VW Golf for a car. Suggest a diesel for all the mountain roads. The house is very clean and well maintained, and the photos don't do it justice. it is very hard to photograph the view and space around the house. It is just glorious. So private and absolute silence. The house has everything you would need to self cater, kitchen well stocked, washing machine, iron, dishwasher etc. Nothing is missing or broken. We used the local supermarket at Camporgiano (10min drive down the hill) for groceries, and is very well stocked. The bedrooms downstairs are a great size, and stay nice and cool in the summer. You do get the odd scorpion in the house at night, but they are no bigger than 6cm and are very timid and won't hurt you. We visited several places from here - Lucca (get the train from Camporgiano), Fortress of Verrucole (what a place!!) and you must go and eat at Coletti's, just a 10min drive up the mountain to the next village. 3 course dinner for 4 people was 65euros with drinks and coffees. However, this is not typical for Italy, but the homemade food was just so good!! You must go there. Fabio and his family were so nice and welcoming, and live in the village in case you need anything. Fabio pops round every couple of days to clean the pool and deliver fresh fruit and veg if there are some spare from his land. Book it!! You won't be disappointed.
