Tuscan Hideaway
We needed a restful, peaceful and private experience, and this villa, it's fantastic grounds and location delivered on many counts. Nestled on a quiet Tuscan hillside surrounded by olive trees and tranquility, with beautiful restful views out across the valley towards Lucca and the blue-gray mountains beyond, the terrace in front of the substantial well-appointed farmhouse and large salt water pool - (with total privacy and 360 degrees views of the stunning countryside), provided the perfect, relaxing spot to rest and re-charge. 5 minutes down the valley, Vorno hosts a lovely restaurant serving a wide variety of superb food, and 20 minutes away the walled city of Lucca with it's charming antiquities, restaurants, shops and many churches provides plenty of interest. Walk the tree lined surrounding walls as the sun sets. It's just 25 minutes drive from Pisa, the airport and an hour's drive to Florence, using the motorways or back roads. Re-visiting Florence was delightful. Our hosts could not have been more helpful, generous and welcoming with advice throughout our stay... ultimately this was an ideal getaway. We would recommend it to anyone wanting a genuine Tuscan escape! Thank you to Silvia & Paulo, it was a memorable and exceptional place to spend some quality time.

Beautiful rustic villa in the Tuscan hillside
Lovely, simple house, well equipped and spacious. Wonderful salt water pool - nice and deep at one end which our children loved jumping in. Gorgeous views over the valley and Lucca in the distance. Completely private and undisturbed. Silvia and Paolo our hosts were very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed, including logs for the pizza oven and some really effective outdoor mosquito repellent! Fabulous place and will come again.

Fabulous holiday
We had a wonderful week in Silvia’s house in Vorno with our adult children and their partners. The house was even better than we expected with plenty of room for 8 people and the pool area was fantastic. We often had our evening meals outside on the beautiful veranda watching the fire flies darting about. Silvia was a lovely host - just the right amount of contact. The house is very well placed for exploring Lucca and Florence and the surrounding area. We had a brilliant early evening bike ride on Lucca’s city walls and listened to a selection of Puccini’s arias in Chiesa dei Santi Giovanni which are on every evening for an hour. The Grotta del vento is well worth a visit. A Bimbotto in Vorno does amazing pizzas and is a short 20 minute walk from the house. We’d really recommend Silvia’s property and will hopefully visit again ourselves before too long. Thank you so much Silvia.

Perfect.
We were looking for somewhere quiet where we could relax, swim, cook and enjoy family time with our adult children. This was it! Silvia and Paolo went out of their way to ensure we had everything we needed, made dinner reservations at local restaurants, offered to book taxis, had small breakfast in fridge for us as we arrived late in the evening. They replied to any questions within minutes and made our stay wonderful. I would recommend this family home to everyone, the pool was great. There is nothing negative to say. We will return. Thank you.

Incredible
Wow, what a place. We are a family of 4 (2 boys aged 13 & 10) so had loads of room at this property. It is truly an incredibly beautiful old house which has been so well looked after. The location is amazing and the views are some of the best we’ve ever experienced. We made good use of the large and very lovely warm swimming pool, the boys LOVED the diving board. In reality this property and location is so so much better than the listing implied. Finally the home owner Silvia is so lovely, warm and friendly (as is Paulo) and full of information and advice. Thank you for having us as your guests Silvia, we will definitely be back.

Characterful house, delightful pool, beautiful surroundings
We have just spent the most wonderful week at this fabulous property. We are a family of 2 adults and 2 children (ages 14 and 12) and we all loved our stay here - the time passed far too quickly! The house is in a quiet and peaceful area and you have complete privacy. However, the owner Silvia (who is very friendly and helpful) lives near by and can be at the property in a matter of minutes if needed (or she answers questions by text straight away) - so it is a perfect set-up! There is a sweeping driveway to get up the house which we managed with no problems and when you get to the house you feel really private. The house is extremely characterful - oldy worldy rustic charm - and is spotlessly clean. The bedding is of a beautiful quality and we used the 2 double beds, which were extremely comfortable. The kitchen is small but is very well equipped with good quality crockery etc and it all feels lovely and clean. The kitchen door leads out onto the very pretty eating area with lovely views, where there is a large table and very comfortable chairs. We ate here every night and spent hours around this table playing games, reading books and drinking a glass of wine!. The pool is fantastic - big, clean and in a lovely setting with the mountains as a back drop. It also feels secluded. It has a diving board and a deep end - so is fabulous for children (and parents!) who wish to learn to dive and jump into the deep end. There are very comfortable sun loungers and chairs at the pool. We also spent hours here! Lucca is a short drive away and there are also numerous other smaller places to visit easily from here. We went to Barga in the mountains and also Montecarlo - all really pretty places and great trips out - but there are loads of other places too, that we didn't have time to get to. If you like chilling out in a beautiful and peaceful setting, eating outside and swimming in the pool - then this is the place for you!

Charming old farmhouse with a fantastic pool
We were met at the property by Silvia. The approach to the house is up a steep but perfectly driveable hill. There is a parking area a little way down the hill and a tight parking and turning area next to the house. We had a Ford C Max and easily managed the hill and turning area. Following a warm welcome from Silvia and her husband we were shown around this charming old farmhouse. Silvia responded very quickly to any questions that we had during our stay. The farmhouse is on a terrace on a hillside in an orchard of olive and fruit trees. The scent from the Jasmine around the door was wonderful! Having access to fresh lemons was a real bonus. We ate out under the covered table every evening – a lovely location to enjoy a family meal after the heat of the day. The kitchen is small and basic but was good enough to enable us to produce an evening meal for every day we were there. The bedrooms and bathrooms are clean and comfortable. The shutters are a welcome means for keeping out the heat of the sun which in turn makes the house a comfortable place to retreat to for an afternoon snooze. By far the very best thing about this property is the clean and well maintained pool. The location and views are stunning. We could have spent the whole holiday either in or next to the pool. The house is about 20 minutes from the walled city of Lucca. From here there is access to a good supermarket – Esselunga, the railway station for trips to Florence and Pisa and the motorway. If you want privacy, a quiet location, comfortable beds and a fantastic pool all at a reasonable price then this is the place for you.

Wonderful spot
Beautiful and cosy house surrounded by old olive trees in a quiet garden. The view from the terrace reaches as far as Lucca. We enjoyed wonderful evenings here with pizza from our own pizza oven. The pool exceeded our expectations. Even in autumn, it is still very sunny until late in the afternoon and invites you to chill out. The house is stylishly furnished and very clean.

Fantastic! 10/10
The house met all our expectations and we had a great week. The view over the hills is fantastic! The pool area is lovely and some days we spent whole days around here, a plus is that the depth is 2,4 m in the deep end. The house is placed on the east side of the hill, so during hot summer days it is not too hot at bed time. The bed rooms has also air conditioning. The hosts were very very nice and could recommend local restaurants and nice day trips. We visited the closest restaurant twice, a 15 min walk from the house.

Rust, natuurschoon en gastvrijheid
Wanneer je van rust, natuur en eenvoud houdt is dit een prachtige plek! Oude boerderij met een heerlijk groot zwembad, prima slaapkamers en badkamers. Niet nieuw, wel prima! Silvia is een ontzettende aardige lieve hostess. Doet er álles aan om het je als gast naar je zin te maken! Beter kan je het niet treffen. Locatie ligt wel op afstand van dorpjes, winkels etc. Auto is nodig ook om het huis te kunnen bereiken (pittig heuveltje...)

Smuk beliggenhed og skøn pool
Super pool og herlig terrasse med udsigt til skovklædte bjerge og op mod Lucca. Total stilhed bortset fra lidt hanegal og hundeglam nede fra dalen. Sol hele dagen men kølende skygge fra bjerget om aftenen. Poolen ligger ca 40m hen langs skrænten og har hyggelig loungeområde. Værtinden er yderst venlig og hjælpsom.

We have been going to Tuscany for 5 years in a row because we enjoy the beautiful surroundings and many towns. In addition, we always enjoy the typical Tuscan holiday homes, but this house surpasses all previous homes: beautiful views, very attractively furnished, good beds, everything you need is available, lovely swimming pool and the very hospitable Silvia and Paolo make your holiday complete .

Top-accomodatie: geheel privé groot authentiek huis koel hoger op berg met mega zwembad geheel privé
Het huis dat je, na een spannend bergweggetje als privé-oprijlaan en het passeren van een prachtig 11 meter zoutwaterbad (met zowel volle zon als heerlijke schaduw en goede douche) bereikt, is geheel authentiek en koel door de dikke muren omliggende begroeiing, en heeft een grote authentieke steenoven in een nis die perfect werkt. Buiten aan een lange tafel hebben we samen meerdere avonden heerlijk eigen pizza’s gemaakt . Het zwembad, de privacy en het uitzicht van de diverse plakken zijn alle drie top. Sylvia en haar man wonen in het nabije Lucca en tel goed bereikbaar en zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Twee restaurantjes nabij (Il Cecco geprobeerd: top!) Binnen een mum rijd je over prachtige en rustig door mooi landschap naar LUCCA, dat veel overzichtelijker en minder druk is dan Florence, maar alles heeft en grote supermarkten etc. nabij. Vanaf Pisa ca half uur max 3 kwartier rijden, dus ideaal bereikbaar voor (in)vliegers. Heerlijke privé plek, zeer vriendelijke bescheiden eigenaar en daarmee zowel rustenclave als uitvalsbasis om Toscane te verkennen of beleven

Lovely house for quiet and comfortable stay in Tuscany
The house was lovely with its modern function and old ambience. We had all we needed and a bit more! The house as well as the garden and pool was well kept, clean and fresh. In the small village we also found a local restaurant within walking distance for delicious Italian meals . For grocery shopping a tour to Lucca is necessary. Silvia was a perfect host and made sure we felt welcome and that all was to our satisfaction. We can warmly recommend this house and its location with so many of the attractive sights within easy reach.
