About this house rental
The house sleeps 6 plus baby/small child. Couples, solo guests, groups of friends and families have stayed over the years. Il Rivo is where you can experience a taste of quintessential Tuscan living! It provides a refuge from the clamour of everyday life with it's thick stone walls, chestnut beamed ceilings, stylish bathrooms and colourful interior decor. The rural setting surrounded by pine, acacia, and fruit trees offers glorious views over the densely wooded hillsides studded with medieval hilltop villages. The owners have sensitively renovated the house with locally sourced traditional materials to include an ensuite bathroom, a modernised family bathroom and a third bedroom. The rest of the house has been kept in the venacular of a traditional Tuscan farmhouse. The two double bedrooms are at opposite ends of the house, the main bedroom has an ensuite bathroom, and the second dual aspect double bedroom is near to the family bathroom allowing a degree of independence. The third bedroom has a bunk bed and resembles a small chapel with French doors, two windows and a pitched roof. A large wrought iron single day bed in an inner hallway between the main bedroom and the twin room provides a further sleeping option, a window provides natural light.
There is a terrace with a sunbathing area and a vine-clad pergola for 'alfresco' dining. It offers wonderful respite after a days sightseeing whilst enjoying the magnificent view across the valley.
There are many tourist attractions on the doorstep: Florence, Pisa, Lucca, Tuscan Riviera and skiing at Abetone. Nearer are several swimming pools (one with a curved water slide!). For the more energetic there are established walking trails, and cycling.

Great hillside location with fabulous views from this spacious old farmhouse.Very well equipped for a comfortable stay with high quality bedding and furnishings and roomy bathrooms with powerful showers. Michelle, the host, was very communicative and seemed to respond instantly to any questions. One tip - the approach to the property and its parking is by a narrow, winding road - be prepared for a 9-point turn to get out again. It's worth the journey though.

Perfect location for exploring the best that Tuscany has to offer, allowing for day trips to all famous Tuscon attractions: Florence, Lucca, Siena, Pisa, San Gimignano and many others.
Absolutely breathtaking scenery with unobstructed panoramic views.
Beautiful rustic house but with all modern amenities. Huge bedrooms, modern very large bathrooms. Beautifully appointed living room with large smart TV. Flawless internet. Wonderful terrace for al fresco dining as well as for just quiet reading or contemplating.
Our party of 4 spent amazing unforgettable 9 days at Michelle's property and didn't want to leave.
Thanks Michelle for letting us stay at your place.

This is a beautiful old property, full of lovely artwork and charm, a real home. There is a lot of wildlife to enjoy. We had a lovely time staying here. It is well equipped Loads of books and dvds if staying in. We had a fair amount of wet weather unfortunately but was ok. We loved visiting Pescia, Lucca and Montecatino whilst we were there, all in easy driving distance. Try the fanicular going up to Montecatino Alta, stunning views and a square full of restaurants which was very jolly. One point of note is that the access to the house is down a very steep unmade up slope, and we found that a challenge being in our mid 70s, so senior citizens like us just need to be aware of this. The approach road is steep and winding. That said, it was still a great pleasure to stay at Il Rivo and the owner Michelle is lovely and very helpful. Great communication. Thankyou Michelle.
