Two Apartments, Private Pool, Walk to Village Restaurants, Sleeps 12, Great view

Me and my family had a really great time here, really nice house with beautiful views and walking distance to wonderful medieval village. Delicious restaurants close by. Arianna and Sergio are warm and caring hosts. When we arrived and found out that the pool was closed we were so disappointed, and then they bought a small pool for the children, very kind Note that their big pool isn’t open until June. The trafficked road is quite close, and there are some unprojected height differences without fence (if travelling with small children). Overall a lovely place in the Toscana paradise🤩

The location was perfect. We fell in love with Castiglione de Garfagnana and the view from our accommodation was spectacular. We also loved the sounds of the church and cow bells! The accommodation was perfect for our needs. We enjoyed daily walks to the village for morning cappuccini and exploring the local villages and countryside by car. The train station in Castelnuovo made it convenient for day trips to Lucca and Florence. The notes provided by Friends of Tuscany were really helpful. The host family was extremely responsive and hospitable. We would love to return!

Very very good

Everything was totally easy and fine. We would come back!

Lovely property to stay in. Outstanding views. Lovely pool. Easy walk down to the town for food and drinks. Also very good restaurant opposite the villa. Would highly recommend

We rented the property with my cousin, we live in the west of Ireland, they live in London. Both of us have teenage children. We adored the medieval village and the surrounding countryside. We even made it to the Mediterranean for an afternoon. We swam in the pool, in local lakes and in the fabulous waterfall which is located in the village. The house is well equipped and we were able to cook large family meals and spend hours dining outside admiring the Tuscan countryside. We ate in the pizzeria which is just across the road, the food was excellent and good value. On the evening we arrived to everyone’s delight there was an open air opera in the village square. The location of this villa is very special. We loved our stay and would recommend it in a heartbeat.

Nice holiday home with large rooms and great views over the Garfagnana valley. The pool is huge and clean. It’s a working farm with all of its charm, including tasting of fresh milk from the cows in the stable next to the house. The hosts are very kind and managed all of our requests with a smile. The WiFi is suboptimal, but the cellular network is fine, I.e. we used Mobile data to get a good Internet connection. Shopping is easy in the in Coop (8min) and markets in the nearby villages. The area is splendid for road biking!

Visited here with my extended family. Cigiano di Sotto was a perfect place for us all. The house was spacious enough for 12 people as it's actually 2 apartments rented together, so lots of space for all of us including 2 dining patios! The views from the house and pool are amazing. The pool was really big and great for swimming lengths as well as play. There was plenty of pool furniture for us all. The lovely village of Castiglione is only a 2 minute walk and there are 3 restaurants and bars in the village (there's literally a pizzeria 30s walk from the house). This was a massive bonus. Silvano's bar was our favourite. It's also a shop so we rarely had to use the car to go anywhere. Highly recommend this place and can't wait to return!

This location is well furnished and the swimming pool is large and pleasant. It is located in remote village in the countryside. The nice medieval village is very small, but you can find all what you need at a short distance. A car is required. The owners are really lovely and helpful, but the farm nearby with animals should be clearly known as it generates a lot of insects. Around the pool, a lot of horseflies, wasps and flies, ensure you have some insect repellant and nobody is allergic. The booking was not properly handled and we were not expected when arriving despite a payment and booking 2 months in advance. Lack of communication and coordination between the owners and the local contact of the rental agency. Hopefully this was an exception and thanks to the flexibility of my friends, we were able to arrange an alternative for the 1st night across the road with the lovely Restaurant Castello.

Nice pool and place. Nice people. Beautiful view and area. We were 2 families with kids staying there for 6 nights. One of the best holidays we have had.
