10 / 10Outstanding·Jun 2026
We spent three weeks at this beautiful property and couldn’t have enjoyed it more. The house can very comfortably sleep 6, and the rooms are very spacious. We were here with a family of 3 and found there was plenty room for us to each have our own space. The WiFi was great for working remotely and allowed for video calls and streaming. We used the pool nearly every day. We opted to heat the pool since we were staying late May to early June, although later in the summer it probably wouldn’t be necessary. Barga is just a short drive away, and there are plenty of options for dining out and exploring. We opted to spend most our evenings eating at home to enjoy the gorgeous view. The kitchen has everything you could need for cooking. We also enjoyed the daily bread truck! The only tricky bit is the narrow entrance getting up to the property. I would recommend a narrower rental car if possible, but even in our larger car we got the hang of it. This is truly a slice of paradise, and we can’t wait to return.
