About this property

Stunning traditional Tuscan country house with extensive parkland

This beautiful Tuscan country house dating from 1753 is set in it’s own parkland in the lush hills of Versilia, overlooking the coast. The rental house is part of a traditional Tuscan farm consisting of three buildings, the rental house, the farm house and an annex, that can be made available for larger family groups. The property approached by a private drive of 750 meters and is surrounded by gardens, fields, olive groves and woodland that amount to 20 acres of secluded tranquillity. The property was completely restored between 2004 /2008 and is furnished to the highest standards having air conditioning in the bedrooms, full underfloor heating and an open fireplace. Outside there is a 12m x 6m swimming pool, gardens and a patio to enjoy evening barbecue's. The grounds provide endless opportunities for walking, playing or just taking in the sun and tranquillity. A unique attraction of the property however is its location. It has the feel of being completely isolated, but in fact is just 5 mins on foot to the village, 15 mins to the sandy beaches of Versilia and the town of Viareggio with its restaurants, shops and night life. 25mins to historic Lucca or the Appenine Mountains and 30 mins from Pisa Airport.

Wonderful villa in a wonderful location

Had the most relaxing and enjoyable stay. The villa is furnished to an exceptionally high standard with the most beautiful pool and views, yet not too far from the town and everything you could need. Our hosts couldn’t have been more friendly or helpful. Lots to do in the area so the perfect base for sight-seeing. We plan to return!

Property in the hills

The best part about the property is the outdoor area - which is superb. A secluded area with a lovely pool and surrounded by greenery up in the hills. The owners were inviting - they live behind the rental property although largely did their best to give us complete privacy. The main downside for us was that the downstairs inside area (lounge and kitchen) was hot (and had no air conditioning) - for a property of this price, that should be rectified quickly as it’s inevitable that there will be hot days (over the course of summer) when it’s not possible to be outside all day. To be fair, the upstairs bedrooms do have AC (although we did not want to shelter in the bedrooms). We were unfortunate that for 2 days there was a nearby wildfire. It was, we were told, 5 miles or so away although we did have quite a long time where the air was so smoky that it materially affected our breathing. In the end we told the owners that we were (for health reasons and because we had been confined indoors) leaving two days early as the smoke was still awful in the morning. We asked the owner if, as a goodwill gesture, they would refund at least one night of the week’s accommodation (as we only stayed 5 days out of seven; and two of those days were under smoke filled conditions - as our photos evidence) - we were surprised that the owner would not entertain any refund at all!! All in all we came away disappointed that we had stayed at the property as the owners didn’t seem to overly care that we had a much affected stay (or at least that the owners prioritised keeping the rent that we paid for seven days, even though we only stayed five days). We acknowledge that the wildfire was not of the owners making (of course), although we felt they could have better recognised that it completely pulled our vacation apart (to have two smoke/stress filled days before we then left two days before the booking officially ended). Note: We did, out of courtesy, forewarn the owners that we would raise this in our review. On a different note (and picking up on earlier reviews): An earlier review noted that the owners have 2 large dogs. This is correct although we noted to the owners that our daughter is scared of dogs and, as a result, the owners completely kept the dogs away (so I don’t think the presence of the dogs should put future visitors off). Another reviewer noted the presence of mosquitoes. There were some mosquitoes, although not a big issue.

Paradise!

My husband, 13 yo son, 11 yo daughter and I based ourselves at this amazing property for 3 glorious weeks. From this location we were able to do day trips to many different cities in the region - Lucca, Pisa, Siena, San Gimigano, Florence, Cinque Terre, etc. It was a great way to visit the area while being able to return to the peace and quite of our own oasis and jump in the pool. Our kids logged many hours in the pool. The property and accommodations are absolutely gorgeous and everything is very clean and updated. Martin and Guisy were delightful hosts and were helpful with recommendations and suggestions. We had a great time talking with them and getting to know them. It was a truly magical vacation for us and I hope we can return one day.

Fantastic - highly recommended

Family of four - two kids age 6 and 8. We stayed for two weeks. Great house. Nice bedrooms with a/c. Well-equipped kitchen. Very cosy living room. Nice patio. Pool was superb and a favorite with the kids. Beautiful surroundings and views of mountains and ocean. Very easy distance to small beautiful villages (not touristy) and the well-known Lucca and Pisa. It makes for a fantastic vacation spot and we highly recommend it.

This is a beautiful house with fantastic pool large enough to swim properly and very peaceful

To clarify there are two bedrooms. A/C is in bedrooms only. To say there is satellite/cable is stretching things as there was at best one channel in English that we could find. Insect bites were a constant problem even though we were prepared. Having said all that a very high quality property in a lovely position very good for visits to Pisa Lucca Florence etc and we were pleasantly surprised by Viareggio as a resort. All in all good value. The pool and grounds in particular are gorgeous.

Perfect holiday at a beautifully kept property with a fantastic pool

This beautifully restored farm offers tranquility and luxury, and our stay was even richer from the contact with animals. In addition the farm is in an area which offers everything from culture to beach life and boat trips. We enjoyed lazy days by the pool, the mountains, the sea, Pisa, Lucca and Florence, great food and wonderful hosts - thank you Giusy and Martin!

Wonderful stay in a lovely place

We enjoyed our stay at Martin‘s and Giusy‘s little paradise. The kids loved the spacious and warm pool as well as playing with the dogs. The alpacas were a bit shy. The house is fully equipped with everything you could possibly need (even a piano!). Martin and Giusy are very kind and helpful hosts, who provided very useful recommenations. The area is full of nice sites to visit and explore. Plenty of good quality restaurants are to be found within 15 to 30 minutes distance by car. All in all a 5/5 experience. Thank you for a wonderful time. We‘d love to come back!

We spent one week here and enjoyed every single moment. The view is fantastic, the pool really large, the garden is great etc. If you want to spend your vacation in Tuscany close to Lucca, Pisa and the coastline (by avoiding all the crowded places like Forte dei Marmi, Pietrasanta etc.) this is the place to go!

Beautiful gem in lovely Tuscany

This estate is absolutely amazing. Situated on a hill over the small town Stavia the location of the property is pretty unique. The old house has been renovated with a lot of effort and passion . We found everything as described and expected. Bedrooms, kitchen and bathrooms were all fine. But the USP of this property for us was the huge and nice garden and the big and clean pool. We enjoyed our time in the garden with this unbelievable views and no disturbance at all. Martin and Guisy have been the best hosts you can imagine. Respecting the privacy of the holiday, but always there with tipps and support when needed. If you ever want to leave this property, Lucca and Viareggio are close by, and also Pisa and Florence can be visited easily. For us it was the ideal spot to visit Tuscany.

Very nice stay

We had such a nice stay! The house, the view, the swimming pool, the chickens, the alpacas, the pets and not to forget the great hosts Martin & Giusy, made our stay perfetto. Our little boy of 3.5 years old enjoyed it big time as well. His favourite? The dogs Peggy and Juno ;-) The place is nearby Pisa and Lucca, and also beaches and restaurants are within driving distance. In the small town there is a nice snackbar/pizzeria where you can sit and eat. There is also a nice take-away pizzeria. In short, a very nice holiday in a very nice house :-)

A jewel.

Let me put it this way. The house? Magnificent! The interior impresses with its attention to detail. Everything is there what you need. Spotlessly clean. The garden? Spacious, beautiful, well-tended in every detail. Sunbeds, parasols, barbecue, covered seating. What more could you want. The (fenced) alpacas on the extensive grounds - simply sweet. The pool? Another highlight. Also for our little boy, as there is a slowly sloping entrance on one side. Crystal clear water. The location and surroundings: breathtaking views, quiet, surrounded by greenery. And yet perfectly situated for easy access to shopping, restaurants and the great sights such as Pisa, Lucca, Florence and others. The hosts? Guisy and Martin are probably the most endearing hosts you can imagine. Always helpful, and always there when you need something. And otherwise only a silent presence in the background, you hardly notice that there is someone else in the second house on the premises. The contact with them was something that enriched our stay in a special way. That was it. We have been to many places on this earth. And Il Giardino is definitely one of the most beautiful we have found so far. Thank you Giusy, thank you Martin for an unforgettable week we (4 adults, one toddler) were able to spend with you.

Wonderfull - Vacation for the soul

Stunning!! When we first arrived to Giusy's and Martin's house, it took our breath away. Everything was just lovely. An open and quite surrounding in the middle of nature with a spectacular view. A pool just waiting that someone jumps in. A house with more than enough space for 2 grown-ups and 2 kids which offers everything you need for a good stay. 2 owners that help you in every possible way - to make your stay enjoyable, but also beeing very discreet - to give you your privacy you need. The house is located away from the noise and crowds of the city but near to everything you will need. Viareggio is just a 15 min drive and get to Lucca and Pisa it will take you just 25 min. Even in Florence is 1 hour drive. So a good base to explore Tuscany. It was really a lovely place for all of us and we wanted to stay longer. Thanks to our hosts Giusy and Martin for a wonderfull vacation. And by the way, the kids miss Milo and Peggy.
