I Camini Castelfranco di Sopra is a wonderful villa with views that take your breath away. The internal layout lends to having private areas if required but the living area is very good for communal entertainment. The evening view over the valley and to the West would be spoiled without a glass of the local wine, both are very good for the heart. We really enjoyed our experience. Thank you.

The villa was more spacious than the photos portrayed it. The family who owned it was friendly and very accomodating. The villa and grounds were immaculate. I really appreciated use of washer with handy clothes rack dryer with clothes pins. The kitchen was new and most sufficient for 4 or 6 people. The location was great for exploring Pisa, Firenze, Lucca and surrounding Tuscany. The nearest town was Altopascio, there was all types of stores and services for your convenience. Most of all! The house was very safe, it is located in a community of lovely homes all gated with intercoms. Our villa had its own driveway with an electric gate that locked every time you entered or departed, you can sleep knowing it would be very difficult for an intruder to enter. That was a worry for me renting in an unknown place. I would definately return to this villa if I ever needed to be in that location again providing it was not summertime. We did not do well without air conditioning. I guess we are spoiled Americans. It was extremely hot and I thought I would do more cooking, but did not because of the heat. There was not access to a pool either so there was little relief from the heat. But if I returned for Fall or Winter or even Spring the house is great !

Had a lovely relaxing week at Podere Il Doccio. Casa Ocra was perfect for our family of four with the extensive balcony facilitating hours of eveving enjoyment. The poool area is great for families with space for other activities such as frizbee or football in addition to the great swimming facilities.

The villa was of top quality with breath taking views from most rooms. It is situated on the side of the mountain so when the weather was hot we still had a fresh breeze to cool us down. The pool was beautiful and the locals were friendly. There were a few villages near by with lovely restaurants. There were two families who stayed in this villa, 9 of us all together and there was loads of room. Both families enjoyed the holiday and would like to return to the villa in the very near future!!

We were staying at the Castle as part of a party for a wedding in the area so didn't pick to stay there as such. Our group was mixed in terms of ages including children and everyone fell in love with the place! We will definitely be going back.

The whole area is beautiful a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the scenery. A great place to go to for artists. Also plenty to do and see. Italian people so friendly and helpful. I would recommend Castello Di Montefugoni wholeheartedly and have warm memories of how well we were looked after condsidering that there were 83 people in our wedding party.

Camelia is a charming little apartment in a very densely populated family beach resort. My daughter, age 17, and I spent a week there as a part of a trip that included some time in Florence. The landlord was very nice and efficient. The apartment an extremely clean basic beach rental. Most of the tourists in this resort are Italian or German. We did not encounter one other American or other English speaking tourist for the first six days of the week we were there. There is bus trasportation in town, but you must be patient about train and bus connections from nearby Donoratico. The coast is lovely. There is one very good restaurant in the town and several excellent ones nearby. If you aren't into pizza, there are only two restaurants in the town. We greatly enjoyed the beach and rented chairs and an umbrella for the week at S. Lucia beach. If you are looking for a low key family oriented resort from which to explore a corner of Tuscany, this is an excellent choice. Castagneto Carducci was the most charming of the hill towns we visited and only about 7 miles from Marina del Castagneto. We had an affordable and very relaxing vacation. It was a pleasant contrast with the rushing about and intense sight seeing we did in Florence.

What a beautiful property set in an amazing environment, the sort of place you never want to leave. We only had a week and this definitely wasn't long enough! We went with friends and didn't go out in the evenings as had two very young children with us, instead we made the most of the shared bbq facilities, eating on the veranda and drinking the farms chianti - heaven! The owners were lovely and if we weren't in their gorgeous pool we were out visiting nearby cities such as Florence and Sienna. A very good time was had!

Pictures on web site do not do justice to this property. Sit and watch the sun go down with a bottle of the owners red wine produced from their own grapes.
