Lovely house in an incredible setting with stunning views. Our family of 5 had a wonderful week here and would definitely stay again - very clean and everything catered for. 10-15 min walk downhill into town where lots of options for food and drink - walk back up is more challenging but we did it with 3 children under 8 so definitely doable. Thanks for having us!
We spent a wonderfully relaxing week here with our adult children at the beginning of September. The house is beautifully situated and we made abundant use of the lovely outdoor spaces. The pool is superb and there are plenty of solid, comfortable loungers. The pool is not fenced off, though, so possibly not one for tiny children.
The terrace is spacious and provides welcome shade on hot days.
The kitchen is extremely well equipped which is not always the case with villa rentals.
The showers and water pressure were extremely good ⊠again, not always a given!
Having visited Tuscany on numerous occasions we didnât feel the need to travel to Florence or Siena, although the proximity of the railway station would have made the train a viable option should we not have wished to hunt for parking spaces in the towns.
We visited Barga )great views!) and Lucca which was lovely and considerably less touristy than many other Tuscany towns.
It is worth mentioning that the main part of Bagni Di Lucca is a drive rather than a walk away ⊠at least, one wouldnât wish to tackle that distance and gradient on the homeward stretch in the dark!
As well as the good, reliable local restaurants there are a number of impressive Agriturismo establishments nearby. Also, do visit a vineyard!
We had massages at the spa which really is an easy walk away.
All in all, an idyllic location for peace, quiet and relaxation. We would very much recommend!
Just returned from a wonderful 12 night stay at Casa Rossa. The villa was very clean, in an idyllic setting with stunning views of the surrounding countryside from the very pleasant veranda. It had an excellent well equipped kitchen, ideal for home cooking, and not far from the bars and restaurants of La Villa (only 20 minutes walk but fairly steep on the way back). A beautiful large private pool area, with plenty of sun beds and parasols for all the family. We had a very enjoyable stay and wouldnât hesitate to recommend.
Wij hebben ontzettend genoten van de rust en het uitzicht vanaf de villa. Het is ook de perfecte uitvalsbasis voor het bezoeken van de bekende steden in noordelijk Toscane. Daarbij ook de zeer uitgebreide informatie van de gastheer maakt het compleet.In het huis was alles aanwezig om een heel fijne vakantie door te brengen.Aanrader dus !
We stayed at Casa Rossa for two weeks with our kids (14 and 11). It was brilliant. The villa inside is spacious, very comfortable, and well equipped.
But the star of the show is the pool (so lovely), the gorgeous (and enormous) garden, and the views. The photos simply don't do this place justice. Julian was very communicative and helpful with information before we got there, and his team on the ground were great.
We only scratched the surface of things to do - we tried canyoning, high wires and zip lines and paddle boarding, day trips to Florence and Lucca. We planned lots more (!) but the pool was very hard to resist. Lots of restaurants nearby within a short drive.
A perfect Tuscan holiday in a beautiful villa - thank you Julian and team!
We are a family of one dad and kids of 13,15,21 and 25. I travel a lot with the kids and we love active holidays, however this year we decided we wanted to relax. This place is just the ticket. The most amazing place I have been to in a long time. Beautiful house, perfect facilities, just 20 minute walk from the quaint village. We have had an amazing 14 days.
Julian the host is brilliant and Tamara, the local agent, was ridiculously helpful (in the good way)
We came home refreshed and recharged and the litmus test of a perfect holiday - the kids are still all on good terms with each other and are very keen to repeat the process next year:)
Thank you Julian for letting us stay in your stunning home
Very beautiful house and pool area. Nice garden with fruit trees.
The village is very charming but does not have a lot of restaurants. There is a good supermarket and we got some nice food at one of the hotels.
Overall a great stay and we would definitely like to return.
