Villa with own pool, mountain village with amenities, views. North of Lucca



Casa Laura is set in the medieval village of Sillico, 700 metres above sea level in the Garfagnana valley, north of Lucca. This spacious villa offers not only comfortable accommodation but spectacular panoramic views of the valley, Apuan Alps and Appeninne mountains.

The villa is our home for a proportion of the year and is decorated and furnished in a blend of modern and traditional styles. We want you to feel at home even when you are away.

The villa and swimming pool is for the sole use of the family or party that have booked it.

We have always maintained a high level of cleanliness at Casa Laura but with the arrival of COVID-19 we have adopted some permanent changes.  All kitchen surfaces and floors throughout the villa are cleaned using antibacterial products.  Antibacterial soap is provided.  Our linens and towels as previously are washed in professional Miele machines at a high temperature with an antibacterial cycle.

The order of the reviews depend upon what VRBO site you are using therefore the most recently added may not be displayed at the top.

An ideal location choice for either a holiday, a workcation or a flexcation stay. Please contact us for monthly discounts. We are happy to alter the accommodation layout to accommodate any work space requirements.

The Garfagnana has an enormous amount to offer anyone who enjoys the outdoors. Whether it's cycling and mountain biking, hiking, horse riding, canyoning, spending the day amoungst the trees on a rope course or crossing the valley on a slip wire. The areas' diverse natural enviroment is well suited to a wide range of outdoor activities.

Casa Laura's accommodation is divided over two floors. On the ground floor you have a lounge and study area complete with free WIFI unlimited internet access, a kitchen with dining area, bathroom and the twin bedroom.

The kitchen is spacious and well equipped with a five ring gas cooker and granite worktops and seating for 6.

Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a modern bathroom.

The large terrace is accessible from the first floor and provides a convivial area for al fresco dining and general relaxing.

The house also includes a wood burning pizza oven and off street parking for two cars.

A complimentary mid stay clean is available upon request.

If your holiday dates aren't being accepted by the system please contact me. I may be able to accommodate them.

The village benefits from having a combined popular restaurant, small shop and bar. There are well stocked supermarkets, independant shops, bars and a choice of restaurants a short drive away in Pieve Fosciana.

A perfect base to discover the popular destinations of Lucca, Barga, Pisa, Florence and Siena either by car or by train from Castelnuovo di Garfagnana. The Ferrari museum and race track at Maranello and the World Heritage site, Le Cinque Terra also make great days out. Seven walking paths start and finish in Sillico, enabling you enjoy, relax and emerse yourself in the natural beauty of the countryside. L'Orrido di Botri, a natural gorge and La Grotta del Vento are also worth a visit.

We live a short distance away and are on hand as much or as little as required. We always try to welcome our guests upon arrival and settle you in. Our reviews give an unbiased judgement and truthfull picture of our villa and the surrounding area.

A local tourist tax of 1 euro per person over the age of 14, for a max of 5 nights is payable upon arrival, in cash.

Charming villa with glorious views
We had a great week in this villa. The property is well equipped, with lovely outdoor terrace and garden. Two minutes walk from the local restaurant which we highly recommend. The local walks are well signposted and definitely worth doing. Yvonne made us feel very welcome. We would highly recommend this property.

Wonderfull stay at Casa Laura.
Our family of 5(Wife, daughter, son in law and grandson) have just spent a wonderful, relaxing 10 days in this terrific house. The house is located at the top of a mountain, beside a medieval village (Silico) and it has the most amazing views out onto the Tuscan alps. Sunset with a whisky just beating early morning. It is well maintained, clean and Yvonne was on hand to welcome us, ensure we settled in comfortably and provide lots of information on things to do. We used the house as our base, while we visited Pisa, Barga and many local villages. We also visited Levanto on the Cinque Terre(Amazing, as reccomended by Yvonne)On other days, we relaxed by the pool and took walks around the village, our favourite being no 3. We really enjoyed the pool and used it daily, to cool down from the heat. We would recommend this house for families and people who are looking to have a relaxing stay in beautiful location. We were lucky enough to experience the Dinner provided by the locals in the village piazza. Thanks Yvonne and Delfo for taking care of us.

A great house that has everything including a taverna next door.
A wonderful place to stay once you have overcome the tensions involved in driving to it. Good facilities for self catering. Wonderful pool and toys. Would have loved to have stayed longer

Beautiful villa, fabulous views, relaxing stay
We had a smashing week here. The villa is well equipped and beautifully furnished. The outside space is particularly good, we spent most of our time there. Very hot during our stay but with the shutters the house stays lovely and cool so no problem sleeping at night. Pizza oven was great fun! Hosts were available if required but very unabtrusive..

Idyllic mountain break
We stayed here at the end of our holiday for a week with our three children aged 7,9,11. We all had space to unwind, played in the pool, went for walks and enjoyed the local area. Thank you to Yvonne and Delfo who were the perfect hosts being there only when we needed then. The house is very well equipped with everything that you need to make your stay as relaxing as possible. Thank you for making our time in Italy so special and memorable for all the right reasons.

Individual holiday at high level
Overall, the accommodation is very well equipped. For example, the kitchen equipment leaves nothing to be desired, even for ambitious cooking activities (e.g. the large 5-burner gas stove). This is not a house "just made up for a few summer guests" but a fully furnished permanent residence. The friendly landlady takes care of her guests in advance and is always easily accessible during the stay (if neccessary). The location of the house offers a fantastic view to the sun set behind the distant mountains. The small village of Sillico is very picturesque, quiet and in no way overcrowded with tourists. Ideal for a quiet individual holiday at a high level (of altitude as well as of residence standard).

Super moment à la Casa Laura
Emplacement fabuleux pour tous les amoureux de l'outdoor (vélo, randos, VTT, trail). De nombreux sentiers au départ de la maison à quelques mètres du magnifique village de Sillico qui domine la vallée. Yvonne est une hôte formidable. Toutes les commodités à 20mn de la maison. En résumé un séjour au top !

Wunderschönes Ferienhaus mit Blick ins Tal
Wir verbrachten hier eine wunderbare Osterwoche in der Toskana. Das Haus hat Charme und bietet alles, was man sich zum Entspannen und Urlaub machen wünschen kann. Die Lage des Gebäudes bietet einen wunderschönen Blick ins Tal. Des Weiteren befinden sich das sehenswerte Bergdorf Sillico sowie idyllische Wanderpfade in der Nähe. Der Eigentümerin Yvonne war sehr daran gelegen, uns den Aufenthalt so angenehm wie möglich zu machen, ohne aufdringlich zu wirken.
