Casal di Mammoli - Il Forno

We absolutely loved our stay here. We were 2 couples sharing and this property more than lived up to expectations. We had so much space and everything we could have needed was provided. The hosts were so lovely, welcoming, contactable and could not do enough for us. They were genuinely lovely people who wanted you to have the most perfect stay in their property. The space, the pool, the views .... I can't say in words how much we enjoyed our stay. If we can manage to return from Australia, we would definitely stay again ... next time for longer.

If your looking for an amazing house in a quiet area this is the right place for you!! Shops and the beautiful town of Lucca just a stones throw away. Paola and Giorgio fabulous hosts and their olive oil is to die for. I’ve just spent an incredible week in this property with my family and I highly recommend it.

We had a fabulous stay at this property over the summer. House has everything you need for a while time in Tuscany. Giorgio is very responsive and kind.

Fantastico! It was a perfect vacation. The villa, swimming pool, location to Lucca...we would definitely stay here again!!

On arrival there was a warm welcome from Georgio, who provided lots of helpful information for our stay. The gift of home made olive oil and local bread was very thoughtful. The property was spotlessly clean, very well maintained and well equipped with lots of space to wear out an energetic 3 year old. The views from the property are stunning and it is a very peaceful place to recharge and relax. The gardens like the property were equally lovely and the swimming pool was a great way to cool off after a day exploring. We especially loved Lucca which thankfully was very close to the property and well worth visiting. We had a wonderful stay with our only regret being that we had only booked one week. It is rare for us to return to a holiday property, however this would be the exception and would recommend to friends and family.

We were greeted by Giorgio and given a personal tour and introduction to the property as well as useful local advice together with some local bread and a bottle of his own produced olive oil. Giorgio had also produced an excellent guide to some fabulous locations away from the many touristy ones. The house is well appointed over three floors. The beds are very comfortable and we all slept soundly. The views are stunning and the garden gets the sun all day long, though there are shaded areas for those who need it. Would we stay there again? Absolutely

We had a lovely week staying in Il Forno. Our host was very welcoming and kind. He brought us a present of his own olive oil and plums and happily gave advice on local activities when asked. The house has recently been renovated and is beautiful. It had everything we needed. We really enjoyed the pool. We hired a minibus which we found easier to park on the road as the gravel drive was quite steep and was shared with the family staying in the other part of the house; this wasn't a problem. We enjoyed walking down to the local shop each morning to buy delicious bread. We ate every meal outside enjoying the wonderful views. We would happily return!

Dear Paola and Giorgio, thank you very much for having us in your beautiful house. For us, just everything was perfect and we will come back soon. We`ll keep in touch and we will bring the guidebooks back where they belong. Thank you Joana, Peter and the kids

Our family stayed ad Il Forno for one week. The house is beautifully renovated, comfortable (good beds, airconditioning in all rooms but one), had a wonderful garden with splendid views on the Tuscan hills, and the cleanest pool I have ever seen. The other apartment's terrace is on the other side of the house, so each family has privacy. There is a large supermarket, a farmer and a restaurant nearby (all within 5 minutes' drive). The location is perfect to discover Tuscan towns such as Lucca, Pisa, Firenze, Barga, but Giorgio also has excellent ideas to explore the coast. We visited Cinque Terre for a day (1h20 drive to Portovenere). Giorgio and Paolo gave us a warm welcome and made sure we had everything we needed. Don't forget to take some bottles of Giorgio's delicious olive oil home!
