Stunning hilltop Tuscan farmhouse. Private pool with spectacular views.

What a cool place, such a unique and special experience near Barga. Shout out to Serena and Sally for making our stay excellent. Hope to return one day..

Wonderfully remote; stunning views; tastefully and thoughtfully decorated and equipped; great pool; beautiful area. We loved it.

Great stay with our family. Would definitely look to book again if traveling to this area.

Absolutely stunning views, very secluded property (be aware that the journey to it can be a bit hair raising!). Very clean and well equipped and excellent communication from the host. 10/10.

We had a really nice stay in Montate and want to come back soon again! We felt very welcomed and can only recommend it 🌟

The villa is well appointed and provided more than we two needed. We were able to totally unwind which was all we had wanted. Serena, manager, was lovely and very helpful. Thank you.

We loved our stay at Montate. The route in was fun in itself - tiny winding roads up the mountainside. And the property is completely charming. Beautifully done and thought out in all respects - both for practicality and aesthetics. The views are unsurpassable. Lots of different places to sit around the estate while soaking up sun, or enjoying some shade. Allows for different conversations to be in train in different places. And the pool was fabulous. And a properly rural feel, properly out on its own away from others. Overall, we had an excellent family time: thank you so much!

Had an absolutely lovely stay for a long weekend with some friends. We would all 100% recommend to anyone. The villa is incredible - beautiful rustic feel to the house but with all the modern comforts you need, stunning panoramic views over the Tuscan countryside, pool table tennis table to relax and a short drive to some picturesque little towns with genuinely breathtaking cultural sites to explore. It’s is even better than the pictures suggest. Sally was a very responsive and efficient host, she made finding the villa easy (despite its charmingly secluded location) and the checkin process was seamless (key in a key drop). She was helpful leading up to the stay with recommendations and suggestions, but also gave us full privacy when there. The checkout process was all very efficient (just leaving the keys in the key drop). We’ll be back!

Montate provided everything we needed for a very relaxing stay in Tuscany. Splendid isolation, wonderful views, amazing pool and comfortable villa. We enjoyed the drive to and from the villa and Barga (after a few runs) was only a 15min drive away for all shopping and eating out essentials. We took the trian to Lucca and Pisa to avoid parking. Very easy and cheap! Finally, the wildlife we spotted made the holiday truly memorable...eagles, bats, hoopoes, wild boar and snakes. Communication with Sally and Serena was always very efficient and friendly. Wonderful, thank you.

The drive to this Tuscan villa was fun for us. The curvy uphill drive provides many beautiful views of Barga and the Tuscan countryside, but these views do not begin the match what awaits you at the villa. The views there are simply stunning! We stayed in early June and loved the property! My husband and I were there with our two young adult daughters. We stayed four days and the location provided the perfect rest in the middle of our 17-day Italy tour. While the weather was a bit cool, we were able to enjoy the pool one day and it was lovely. We also loved having a fire in the fireplace on a particularly chilly night. The outdoor space is fantastic with great views from every location. The peace and beauty cannot be overstated. Beds were comfy and we had everything we needed for cooking meals. Barga provided ample opportunities for grocery shopping and we had a great daytrip to Lucca which we highly recommend. Communication from the owners and Serena, the property caretaker, was stellar. They are incredibly responsive and kind. We long for the time we can return to this beautiful property!
