VILLA BENEDETTA, Casa Olga # 2
Villa Benedetta is located in Garfagnana, a very ancient geographical region of Tuscany rich in traditions. It was erected in 1636 and has hosted the noble Este family, in particular the Duke of Modena Francesco IV D Este who lodged there for hunting. The apartments have been created within the very suggestive villa whose stone loggia, loggia, immediately transports the visitor into an ancient atmosphere. The position of the building dominates the valley. Exposed to the south / east it enjoys sunlight for most of the day. The front garden, and the beautiful swimming pool with sun loungers and deckchairs, allow you to rest in full relaxation. While, the ancient stone source with its spring water will help to brighten your permanence. The environment is particularly suitable for children too. Relevant to the villa there is the ancient family oratory which, upon request, can be visited as other parts of the building.
The "Casa Olga" apartment consists of a double bedroom with a single sofa bed, a living room with a double sofa bed, a kitchen and a private bathroom.

Dolce Vita
Paolo ist ein wunderbarer Gastgeber und wir haben uns bei ihm vom ersten Moment an sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Pizza aus seinem Steinofen wird uns unvergessen bleiben, genauso wie die traumhafte Lage und die Villa selbst, so haben wir uns die ursprüngliche Toscana vorgestellt.

Wir haben hier in diesem wunderbaren Ambiente einen tollen Urlaub genossen. Wer die Ruhe sucht ist hier genau richtig. Die Kinder waren so begeistert vom Pool, dass wir letztendlich weniger Ausflüge gemacht haben als geplant.
Paolo ist ein liebenswürdiger Gastgeber der sich sehr um seine Gäste bemüht. Köstlich seine selbstgemachte Pizza und Bomboloni. Nochmals vielen Dank dafür!

beautiful swimmingpool area
The house is very old and traditional. You go down some steps to reach your garden and up the steps to the swimmingpool area with nice beds, umbrellas, tabels and chairs and a picknick table. This was our favourite spot and the view of the surrounding mountains is fabulous. Paolo was a wonderful host and made us pizzas in his oven.

Heartwarming, beautiful and historical - musste have to visit !
We loved staying at paolo's place. Villa benedetta has been lovingly prepared with a lot of heart and passion. this is mainly thanks to the wonderful host paolo, who makes this wonderful place in the mountains something very special with his hospitality and attentive nature.
Once a week Paolo prepares pizza for his guests in the in-house pizza oven and is always happy to give an insight into the history of the house and his family. if you want to see it, you can also look at the family's own chapel with him. The property around the villa is lovingly cared for and allows you to relax. The spectacular view is worth every meter of the rather adventurous drive up the mountain. We warmly recommend Paolo and his house and we are sure - we see you again

Traumtage im Gebirge an einem einmaligen Ort
Die Villa Benedetta liegt wunderschön am bergseitigen Rand des kleinen Dorfes Sillicano weit oberhalb des größeren Ortes Castelnouvo di Gerfagnana. Der Blick ist atemberaubend. Die Wohnungen sind alle sehr urig aber bestens und sehr liebevoll ausgestattet. Ebenso war alles sehr sauber. Der wunderbar saubere Pool liegt etwas oberhalb des Hauses, so dass man auch von hier aus eine herrliche Aussicht auf den Appenin hat. Neben Liegestühlen und Sonnenschirmen ist hier ebenfalls eine überdachte Sitzgelegenheit und ein toller Außengrill vorhanden. Es fehlt wirklich an nichts! Im Dorf gibt es einen kleinen Laden. Hier gibt es tatsächlich nahezu alles, was zum Leben nötig ist.
Außergewöhnlich ist auch der Vermieter Paolo. Von seiner Offenherzigkeit erinnerte er mich etwas an Roberto Benigni in „Das Leben ist schön“. Er ist ein so herzlicher und lebensfroher Mensch, dass man von seiner guten Laune einfach angesteckt werden muss! Er war stets bei Fragen oder sonstigen Belangen zur Stelle und immer äußerst hilfsbereit. An einem Abend hat er für alle Mieter in einem alten, tollen Steinofen Pizza für uns gemacht: es war wirklich die beste Pizza, die ich je in meinem Leben gegessen habe!
Summa summarum: ein Kleinod im Gebirge in dem man Ruhe findet, von wo aus man tolle Ausflüge machen kann und in dem man liebevoll aber ohne jegliche Aufdringlichkeit umsorgt wird!

Bellissimo
Wir waren im Mai 2023 in der Villa Benedetta. Auch wenn das Wetter nicht so charmant war, umso charmanter war unsere Unterkunft und erst recht unser Gastgeber Paolo. Wir wurden in mittelalterlicher Kulisse verwöhnt mit selbst gemachter Pizza und italienischem Apfelkuchen. Die Unterkunft befindet sich in einem sehr ruhigen Bergdorf und wer die Ruhe sucht, ist dort genau richtig. Wir können die Villa Benedetta einfach nur weiter empfehlen.

Exceptional and very friendly
The VILLA BENEDETTA, Casa Olga is an old castle-like building with a very breath-taking view over the Sillicano and Castelnuovo area. Even though it seems rather venerable it is super child-friendly, not just because of the swimming pool. Paolo, the host, is super friendly and supportive, and always open for chats and stories. Moreover, we had the honor to try Paolo's home-made pizza -- something he arranged for all the guests and for free. Overall it felt like being more than "just" a guest and we are looking back to a great vacation time in Paolo's castle. :-)

Wunderbare Garfagnana
Wir haben sehr erholsame zwei Wochen bei Paolo in Sillicano genossen. Weil das Haus, das Dörfchen und vor allem der Pool so schön war, haben wir wesentlich weniger als geplant unternommen und stattdessen unsere Zeit auf dem Anwesen genossen. Wo gibt es schon frisches Bergwuellwasser hinter dem Haus, Lorbeerblätter und Lavendel im Garten? Paolo hat zweimal köstliche Pizza im hauseigenen Steinofen für alle Feriengäste zubereitet.

A superb choice
What a wonderfull place! The old characteristic house, the beatiful pool and, most of all, the very kind owner Paolo. This is Paradise. The house is on a hill in a tiny sleepy village with a small shop for essentials. The town is a 5 to 10 minute drive down the hill. To have dinner on the porch or balcony, overlooking the valley, to see the moon come up. If you like a quiet peaceful stay, it does not get any better than this.
