Villa in 2 Acres: Large Heated Private Pool; 360 deg. Stunning Views; Free WIFI
From Casa del Falcetto, the views are nothing short of extraordinary. In every direction, uninterrupted 360‑degree panoramas of the National Park unfold—vast, dramatic, and endlessly captivating. The sense of space and tranquillity is profound, creating an immediate feeling of escape.
Despite its elevated position, the villa offers easy access and generous private parking, with none of the steep drops or precarious edges often associated with hillside properties. Arrival is effortless and reassuring.
Whether you are relaxing in the lounge, enjoying the serenity of the poolside, or stepping out onto one of the Juliet balconies that grace the two principal bedrooms, the views are ever‑changing and deeply atmospheric. Below lie a small local farm and a charming country church, while further afield, perched high on the surrounding hills like an eagle’s eyrie, are the historic fortress villages of Castiglioncello and Pugliano.
At lunchtime, the local bar in Pugliano serves some of the finest pasta in the area—an authentic and much‑loved local secret. Just three miles away, in Reusa, you will find the acclaimed restaurant Spino Fioretti, where a superb weekday lunch—Pranzo del Lavoro—is available Monday to Friday for around €12, including water and wine, offering outstanding value without compromising on quality.
Situated within a protected National Park, the surrounding countryside remains completely unspoilt. It is often said that staying here feels like stepping back in time. A leisurely twenty‑minute drive brings you to Fivizzano, the principal town of the commune, where you can enjoy a coffee and stroll the streets, sometimes encountering only one or two passing cars. The area is rich in rustic yet charming restaurants, and the warmth of the local people is a constant—always ready with a friendly buona sera or buon appetito.
Despite the feeling of seclusion, Casa del Falcetto is by no means isolated. Everyday amenities—including bank, post office, and supermarket—are located in Casola, just a five‑minute drive away. The same easy drive brings you to Pieve San Lorenzo, where free parking allows you to catch the train directly to the exquisite walled Renaissance city of Lucca (approximately one hour, and reasonably priced). From here, travel extends effortlessly to destinations throughout Italy, from Rome to Milan.
The coast is equally accessible. Within one hour by car, you can reach the beautiful beaches of Lerici and Portovenere, as well as the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Cinque Terre, with its colourful villages, secluded coves, and dramatic cliffs plunging into the sea. A little further afield lie Santa Margherita, Portofino, Rapallo, and vibrant Viareggio, while inland journeys lead to Parma, famed for its Parmesan cheese and Parma ham—or onward to the incomparable city of Florence. The possibilities are truly endless.
For reference, Casa del Falcetto can be viewed on Google Earth at the following coordinates: Elevation: 548 metres Latitude: 44° 13′ 15.91″ N Longitude: 10° 11′ 43.91″ E
The property also features a large 10m x 5m heated swimming pool, with an air‑source heat pump to comfortably extend the swimming season (April -October) Guests benefit from complimentary Wi‑Fi and UK television via Filmon, and we pride ourselves on transparency—all prices are fully inclusive, with no hidden fees.

2 weeks in the mountains
We recently enjoyed 2 weeks at the property and it was exactly as we had hoped - quiet, relaxing and a great getaway from our hectic lives. The road in was not as precarious as others had mentioned and once at the home it’s fantastic. The views are wonderful and all the conveniences one would expect are at your fingertips. We would definitely recommend this property.

A beautiful location in the Tuscan hills
We stayed at this villa for 2 weeks and it was in such an idyllic location. The view of the mountains was breath taking. We went in August and it was very hot so having the pool there was an absolute god send. The temperature was perfect and it was well maintained.
We did 3 big trips to Lucca, Florence and Pisa. We drove to Lucca (unfortunately the local train doesn't run anymore) and Pisa without any issues, takes around 90 minutes. For Florence we drove to La Spezia and caught the train from there, again very easy. It turned out that on the return journey, business class was cheaper than standard class and included snacks and drinks! Definitely worth checking beforehand.
The house itself was very clean but did get hot at night, however fans are provided in each room. The curtains are white and thin so if you have light sleepers it's worth bringing along some blackout blinds. One of the beds was quite squeaky but other than that everything was very well equipped and maintained.
There are a variety of larger supermarkets in Aulla (including Lidl) which were handy to stop at on the way back up to the house from day trips out. Agriturismo Spino Fiorito restaurant is definitely worth a visit, the food was incredible.
Overall, a wonderful stay that we thoroughly enjoyed 😃

This home is just wonderful! The house, the views, all of it. If you want a cozy spot with peace and quiet, one with good restaurants around, or a kitchen to try your own Italian cooking in, this is it. And the pool is an added bonus. Tony answered any questions we had and left us some lovely wine. Such a pleasant place to spend a vacation! Was tough to leave!

Magic Mountain view
This property is magical. From the house to the pool very very private to the most amazing view. Well appointed beautiful and clean. Could not fault it. We had the best time there and highly recommend if you want peace and quiet. We went on lots of easily accessible day trips with our car but the train and bus stations are close by if needed. We had some authentic Italian meals in the many restaurants dotted around the district. Can not recommend this place highly enough.

Stunning views and beautiful, comfortable villa with swimming po
We had an amazing time staying at Cassa Falcetto. The house is just lovely and had everything we needed. It is tastefully and simply decorated and was perfect for our needs. The view is simply stunning and takes your breath away. The swifts fly down and drink from the pool while you are in it and other than a few mildly irritating horsefly bites there were virtually no mosquitos. The roads are challenging but we soon got used to it and had various trips to local villages which was fun but we didn’t do much sightseeing due to Covid 19. It was the perfect covid getaway! Paul was very helpful and quick to respond when we had a problem and all in all it was a super relaxing holiday

Amazing vistas and private property all to ourselves!
If you’re looking to get lost for a week or more, but still have access to all that northern Tuscany has to offer then this is the place! The views: amazing! The property: clean, spacious and very nicely appointed. The vicinity - basically its all yours! There’s no other houses or anything close by (a car is mandatory) but that’s exactly what we were looking for!
Although finding the place at first is a bit tricky, that’s part of the experience! Tony and family went out of their way to provide excellent “town by town” directions and we were smart enough to fly-in midday, so plenty of sun to find our way there. First impressions: pool - stunning, views - stunning, house - impeccably clean, drive up to house - challenging (but completely doable in any decent car).
Over the week we used this as our base and visited the Cinque Terre, Lucca and Florence by train (just 9 mins drive away), Pisa and drove into Emilia-Romagna as well! It was perfectly situated to get us where we wanted to go without much hassle and coming back to this bit of “heaven on earth” and a dip in the pool each evening allowed us to unwind after some interesting / harrowing drives.
There’s also a well documented book with all the local things to do, restaurants, activities, etc. they really have gone out of their way to make sure you’ll enjoy every second of your stay!
The ONLY downside was a concrete beam that seems to suspend just across the top of the stairs headed to the bedrooms that I repeatedly whacked with my head (I’m 6’5” tall) and almost sent us to the hospital one night (as it also is in the path to the bathroom). I might suggest a different colour or even a hanging item there that would remind us taller folk!
All in all - a spectacular week enhanced by the weather and our sightseeing trips! I have about 100 photos of the views from the property and a few will be hanging on our walls for the memories, back home soon!
I know lots of people say this, but we mean it: we WILL be back!!

Lovely property with fabulous views.
The property was very clean, tastefully decorated, furnished and equipped and in wonderful
surroundings. The pool was warm and a beautifully situated with a fantastic view of the mountains and the night sky.
The villa is off the beaten track so be prepared to face winding, narrow roads for @ the last 5 kilometres and a long rough track on the property.
Lots of wildlife, including insects and lizards, although few mosquitoes and a sighting of a wild boar on one evening.
Lovely wildflower bank and also plenty of flowers.
I would love to visit again.

This was a beautiful property in a beautiful location. We had an issue on the first night with the outside lights not working but we emailed tony and it was sorted the next day by a local couple who look after the property. Although we like rurality we struggled for things like bread as it doesn't keep overnight and we had to be more organised or go out every day. The holiday was fantastic and we would recommend this property.

Italian Idyll
Our first experience of Tuscany was top notch. The Villa is perfect - plenty of room for a family of 4 with all home comforts. The pool was a wonderful treat and relief in the heat, and the welcome wine was a lovely surprise.
The surrounding countryside is spectacular and the view from the property is stunning.
Plenty of amazing flora and fauna on the door step and swimming in the pool whilst swallows swooped to drink around me was a great experience. We also saw plenty of birds, deer and think we hear a wild boar whilst walking the local trails.
There are myriad local day trip options - Pisa and Florence were busy but worth the effort. Cinque Terre was stunning but a little too busy for us admittedly in August. Lerici beach was a better beach experience for us - stunning views, golden sand and you can hire chairs or loungers. Local food options were delicious and great value. The cheese and meat shop in Metra around the corner from the restaurant (La Buffalo?) sold the most delicious mozarella and pecorino straight from the producer. Other great day trips were Equi Therme caves and lido, local lake (Lago di Gramolazzo) with boat hire at camp site, Lucca is stunning and worth some time. Just relaxing at the Villa and walking the deserted local trails / pottering in the nearby towns and villages kept us well entertained.
Many thanks for providing the base for a truly wonderful and relaxing summer holiday.

Great stay!
Really fantastic vacation in the mountains of northern Tuscany! The house, while having a small footprint, comfortably fit our party of 5. Clean and well appointed, the house enabled us to have a wonderful vacation. The hosts were kind enough to provide us with a couple of bottles of wine upon arrival- that’s a really nice touch. Would have liked the pool a bit warmer but it was April and cool at night so understandable. Quaint little villages all around that we enjoyed exploring. The views are priceless! A wonderful respite. Thank you!

An inspired home with glorious views and embracing seclusion
The only disappointment about Casa Falcetto is dragging yourself away from its idyll into the maelstrom of Tuscany's more frenetic parts. Great imagination has gone into designing a house that sits amidst a panorama which changes beguilingly with the light. This part of Tuscany is untouched by tourism, making it a unique haven. Nearby Pugliano is a curious delight - the 'pub', pizza and small shop all delightful. Every Saturday in August there's a community knees up worth attending. As mentioned elsewhere the pranzos are amazing in taste and value. Be warned, best booking Spino's near Reusa as despite its remoteness its very popular (closed Mondays) and for good reason. Also, Hotel Belvedere beyond Metra well worth a sundowner and evening meal. Cinque Terre towns in August is a bit like being funneled through a packed football stadium - but would recommend the Blue Marlin in Vernazza whose owner plays the piano bringing calm to chaos. The best bit was returning to Falcetto with the children playing endlessly in the pool, then sipping wine before tucking into a barbecue. As probably gathered, can't recommend this holiday home enough - it helped create one of our most relaxing holidays. Thank you Tony.

Quite simply the most idyllic setting and a villa which was everything we had hoped for, and more
We had a fabulous week based here and exploring the stunning countryside on foot and by car. If you are looking for total privacy, breathtaking views and a beautiful villa, inside & out, this is perfect. We will definitely be returning (something we never do). We were a family of 4, the pool was a real hit with the children, but there is plenty of space for 6 people. It got a little chilly outside in the evenings but we enjoyed watching some of the DVDs and playing games left for our use by the owners. Really comfortable beds too - it gets light by 07:00 so an eye mask was the only thing missing.
