Wonderful quiet and secluded cottage
After spending 9 fun but hectic days in Rome and Venice, this was a great place to wind down and have some quiet time for our family of 4. The pool was a major draw for us and it was heavenly. It was a record heat wave when we were there but even without air conditioning the cottage stayed relatively cool. Amedeo and his family were friendly, accessible, and responsive while also giving us our privacy. Barga is a wonderful town and we were lucky to be there for their annual Piazzarelle festival so that music could be heard from the cottage each night. The area is hilly and there are some great hiking trails around so you'll want to be ready for some climbing... A skill you'll also need for the tight spiral staircase :) As many have said, the driveway is a challenge but any half decent car can handle it and you do get used to it. If you're not very comfortable with a manual transmission, though, you may want to try to get an automatic. Considering how secluded the cottage is, it is amazing that water and electricity are not an issue. The fact that it also has a washer, dishwasher, microwave, etc, is also impressive. It would be nice if there were more cooking tools and basic staples in the kitchen and the stove/oven could use some care but these are minor issues that certainly did not affect our overall enjoyment of this very sweet little cottage. We loved Il Turello and we recommend it to anyone.

En vaskeægte italiensk perle
Vi var en dansk famile med to børn på 3 år, der havde en fantastisk ferie i ‘Il Turello’. Huset ligger helt ugeneret på toppen af en mindre bjergtop og med flot udsigt til alle sider. Vejen derop var en lille smule skræmmende den første gang, men efter et par gange gik det fint. Vi blev mødt af vores flinke vært, Amadeus, som selv bor lidt længere nede af bjerget - og fik en fin rundvisning til huset og det imponerende indhegnede område, som huset ligger inden for. Huset fungerede perfekt til vores behov og var utroligt velholdt og rent. Det samme var udendørsområde og poolen. Omkring huset er der både skov og en stor frugtplantage/olivenlund, hvilket vores børn elskede at gå på opdagelse i. Pizzaovnen var et hit. Kan kun give de allerbedste anbefalinger. Husk myggespray. Vi glæder os til at komme igen!

Peaceful and Private
We had a wonderful stay at the Cottage. The house itself is cozy, with just right amount of space for our family of 4 (kids aged 13 and 9). The internal, spiral stairs are very narrow, but the external stairs provide a good alternative when necessary. The outside space and pool are fantastic, well cared for, and incredibly private. The owners were very friendly and welcomed us with open hearts, but definitely respected our space and privacy. When our younger son had a bad accident while playing football, they were quick to help us and make sure we got all the medical care and supplies we needed. I could not thank them enough for their kindness. I will always remember it. The area is beautiful. Lots to explore. We had our mountain bikes, and the trails are fantastic. But it's important to note, the house is on a steep hill. The road to the house is curvy and narrow - not for the faint of heart. But even with our rather large, family minivan we had no problems. I would highly recommend this property and definitely hope to visit again.

Perfect relaxing retreat
Il Turello is completely secluded offering the perfect relaxing holiday. It is situated on a wooded hillside giving great views of the valley below. The patio and pool area were a highlight, we spent a lot of time relaxing here. As well as a well equipped kitchen there is a wood fired pizza oven and BBQ's so you are never short of options if you don't want to go out to eat. Inside there is fireplace which we made use of on some of the colder September evenings. The whole property was clean and well maintained. Barga is close by offering a selection of restaurants and smaller shops. Slightly further away in Gallicano there is a large supermarket. As other reviews say the first drive up to Il Turello is a bit daunting, however you soon get used to it. We managed it in a fairly large automatic estate car in the rain without issue, a 4x4 is really not necessary. Our 10 days went by far too quickly and we would love to return if we get the chance.

A house with a view
Il Turello provided us with the perfect holiday. It is totally private with breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains, and the owner, Amadeo, is charming and funny, helpful if you need it but never intrusive. The wonderful swimming pool was the icing on the cake, we had some lovely evenings stargazing and even though there is so much to do and see in this beautiful area, it was tempting to just stay put! The local town of Barga has lots to see and lots of nice little places to eat. Further afield is the medieval town of Lucca, well worth a day trip and don't miss the Ponte di Diavolo on the way. Just one note of caution - the road up to the house is extremely steep so if flying hire yourself the smallest 4x4 you can - it gets easier with practice and is totally worth the effort. We left totally relaxed and refreshed, and I very much hope we will return in the future.

Splendid Mountainside retreat
Lovely villa in stunning location with good sized .pool and quality outdoor furniture . The bbq and pizza oven were an unexpected bonus and plentiful fresh fruit on the trees . Amadeo the owner was charmingly helpful but not overbearing . You will Need a car which can climb steep hills and essential to stock up at supermarket en route . Nearby Barga is wonderful !

Geweldig mooie plek
Dit huis ligt op het terrein van de eigenaar, een oudere huisarts. Bij aankomst allervriendelijkst opgevangen. Even een korte introductie en verder werden we met rust gelaten. Wat een leuke mensen. Om bij het huis te komen moet je ongeveer 2 km vanaf een grotere weg omhoog de bergen in over een smalle weg met best wel wat lastige bochten. Eenmaal op het terrein van de eigenaar nog even een stukje verder rijden, waarbij het de eerste keer wel ff wennen is. Zelfs met een grote SUV lukt het, maar je moet wel kunnen sturen. Het huis is niet groot, met 1 slaapkamer boven en nog een paar bedden in de hal. De badkamer is eenvoudig maar prima. Eigenlijk is het hele huis eenvoudig. Mooi zwembad en veel ruimte buiten om het huis, op diverse niveau's. Natuurlijke schaduw en hoekjes om ook uit de wind te zitten. Huis is voorzien van goed tuinmeubilair en verder is alles aanwezig wat je nodig hebt. Barga ligt op 7 km afstand en heeft voldoende eetgelegenheden, winkels en je kunt er prima de auto opladen. Dichterbij, op 5 minuten rijden liggen ook wat restaurants die prima zijn. Toplocatie, met geweldige eigenaren.

Perfetto!
We kunnen bevestigen wat onze voorgangers als commentaar hadden achtergelaten, zijnde: zeer vriendelijke en behulpzame doch discrete eigenaars, prachtig terrein en heerlijk zwembad, goed uitgeruste woning zowel indoor als outdoor met o.a. goed werkende wifi, heerlijke douche, pizzaoven, goed uitgeruste keuken, verschillende zithoekjes met meubilair, ligstoelen, bbq, beschutte parkeerplaats, ... m.a.w. je komt er niets te kort. Mooie regio. Barga is een prachtig stadje. Conad supermarkt op 10 minuten. 30 minuten van Lucca, 45 minuten van Pisa, uurtje van de zee...canyoning, grotten e.a. vlakbij. De klim naar Il Turello is inderdaad pittig maar anderzijds ook weer charmant en uiteindelijk doenbaar zonder al te veel problemen. Eens aangekomen op locatie is het trouwens meer dan de moeite waard want wat een prachtige tuin met vergezichten!ook de contacten met het agentschap verliepen vlekkeloos. Aanrader!

2 weeks family holiday
We had a wonderful time at Il Turello. The location and grounds are absolutely stunning and our hosts were very welcoming, friendly and quick to respond to any questions we had. The drive up to the property is steep, but perfectly doable even with a larger SUV. There´s plenty to see and do around the area and we particularly enjoyed visting Barga, Lucca or just relaxing at the amazing pool! We can highly recommend this property and hope to come back sometime soon. All the best to our hosts! Best wishes Family Hilmer/Hrassnigg
