holiday House Poggio della Civetta

The accommodation was even better than the pictures suggested. The house was in a very quiet location and the facilities were exactly as described in the brochures.

The property was a little tricky to find as it is off the main roads and down a windy, narrow gravel path. It's about a 30 minute drive to Lucca. The private pool is lovely, and all the flowers and succulents are beautiful. Giacomo and Jessica were very responsive when we had questions, and it was wonderful that they let us check in early.Pool towels are provided, but only one bath towel is given per guest for the entire week/stay. Guests should note that hand soap, toilet paper, laundry soap, and other basic items are not provided. You will need to purchase them locally or bring your own. The neighbors in the connected building were rather disruptive (loud conversations at 100 am, their dogs barking during the night). There is an AC unit up and downstairs, and you pay per usage. If you go in peak summer, it will not keep the villa cool so be prepared for very warm days and evenings or pack a fan.Overall, a secluded retreat with a beautiful view and nice pool.

This property was a WOW!! right from the moment we drove up to the gates. The peacefulness was what we were after and thats exactly what we got. The photos dont do the view justice and the changes with the light give you something new to see throughout the day and evening.Jessica and Giacomo were the warmest and kindest hosts. Accomodating everything we needed and even things we didnt even know we needed! A beautiful traditional Tuscan home and beautifully kept gardens and pool made for perfect lazy relaxing days in the Tuscan sun.

We had a wonderful holiday - the house and pool were better than the descriptions! The views were amazing. We enjoyed every minute. Giacomo is an excellent host!

we had the pleasure of staying at a beautiful villa Poggio della Civetta, and it was an unforgettable experience. The villa itself was stunning, with a breathtaking view of the rolling hills and vineyards that Tuscany is famous for. The scenery was nothing short of magical, providing the perfect backdrop for a relaxing and rejuvenating vacation. Our hosts were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. They went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and enjoyable, offering helpful tips on local attractions and even sharing some of their delicious homemade wine and olive oil with us. Both were absolutely divine and added a special touch to our stay. The only minor downside was the road leading to the villa. It was unpaved and quite narrow, which made the journey a bit challenging at dark times, especially for larger vehicles (pegeot 308 sw). Overall, our stay at the Tuscany villa was a dream come true. The combination of the beautiful location, warm hospitality, and delicious local products made it a truly memorable experience. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat in the heart of Tuscany. Just be prepared for a bit of an adventure on the way in!

We had an awesome week in italy in this beautiful house. The house, the landscape, the pool...everything was as stunning as we were hoping for! Giacomo was the perfect host - he was always available and very supportive! Thank you again!

Great place, great view, great house!

Giacomo was a great host - got in contact early and remained available whenever required. The house was lovely and quiet (although a v noisy and enthusiastic dog owners as sadly staying next door which made us get up a little earlier than expected some mornings) with the most amazing views. The house had everything we needed, although I think the lack of air conditioning in the bedrooms (although it is in the upstairs hall and living room) might make it pretty hot in high summer. We loved it as the location was excellent - close enough to make Lucca only a 15!minute drive but also close to the lovely Montecarlo, Pescia (for the supermarket) and stations to get to Florence and elsewhere. All in all a great stay and highly recommended.

The photos and description of this villa do not do it justice. The location of this villa, just a few km from Pescia is set in the Tuscan countryside with amazing views. The villa is beautiful and very spacious and is kitted out beautifully with everything you will need. The grounds are lovely and the pool is in a great location with again amazing views. The owner met us on arrival and gave us a tour and was able to answer our immediate questions. Once there we received a WhatsApp every couple of days checking that everything was OK and Giocomo was able to answer any queries we had. We know he also attended daily and cleaned the pool but this was done before we got up and it was vey unobtrusive. Highly recommend this villa for anyone wanting a relaxing holiday in the heart of Tuscany - with Pisa and Florence both under 1 hour away.

We stayed in the beautiful house for two weeks and particularly enjoyed the great view and the peace and quiet in the otherwise often turbulent Tuscany. Giacomo and his family gave us a warm welcome and were always available to answer any questions we had. The property is highly recommended for families, especially the pool was a lot of fun for the kids. Many thanks for a great stay.
