Holiday home on the hills of Val di Nievole between Lucca, Pistoia and Montecatini, private pool

I forgot to put a comment for our stay in 2023 but it is the same as 2021 and 2025 (our last summer stay in July this year). The owners are very lovely and discrete persons, and we enjoy staying in Casa Milena because of the location in middle of nowhere but at 10 minutes drives from Montecatini Terme and 40 minutes from Lucca. It I the perfect quite place for “Farniente” and enjoying of the swimming pool. If you are looking to rest during your holidays and you enjoy of outside living during your holidays, do not hesitate to choose Casa Milena, it is a lovely place to stay.

Very good if you are looking for holidays: - in a quiet area on a closed road with nearly no traffic, while being not far from main shopping centers and motorway - large private garden, fully fenced, so ideal if you travel with your, even large, dog. - friendly owner, respectful of the privacy The building is a refurbished mill, so the old and thick stone walls help well in summer, to keep the heat out. However, the nice sleeping rooms, upstairs, are very warm in summer time and the owner should consider improving the roof thermic insulation. Furniture, indoor/outdoor, is basic, with potential for functional and esthetic enhancements. Note: if you travel with a dog, apart the large and nice garden, there are no forest paths directly accessible from the house, except access to a small river. Tarmac roads can be, in summer, too hot to walk on, without damaging the dog´s paws, so you would need to travel a bit by car.

It's the second time that we spent our holidays in Casa Milena and it's a very house and with swimming pool with a very good quality vs price. The owners are lovely and helpful and try to find always a solution. Some customer will probarly claim about the wifi reception wifi it's very bad but holidays without internet or sms or call are some times good holidays and when you go out of the place you have plenty opportunities to catch back your mails and missing calls,... . So enjoy holidays as simple as it is. The kitchen is very good equiped. So Enjoy very beautifull holiday in a breathtaking environment because take time to take a look of the beautiful green around the house. Please pay attention for the mugs but it's every where in Italy in July and August.

Perfect.

We had an unforgettable stay at Casa Milena. The house is spacious and offers all the comforts you need for a great vacation. The swimming pool is beautiful as well. In the kitchen you will find everything you need to prepare good meals. You have just to know that the toilets are located upstairs and therefore are not suitable for people with reduced mobility or elderly people who have difficulty climbing the stairs several times during the day, even if the stairs are very wide and easy to access. The garden is very spacious. The advantage of the location of the house is that it is quietly isolated in the hills. Apart from the direct neighbor, you no longer have a neighbor for 300 to 500 m. So the place is very peaceful. Its exceptional location offers you a breathtaking view The owner is an extraordinarily kind person, always ready to help or tell you a little story about the house or the nearby town. He will advise you on excellent restaurants or activities to do. We are not ready to forget this wonderful vacation and we will return one day.
