Villa in 2 Acres: Large Heated Private Pool; 360 deg. Stunning Views; Free WIFI

From Casa del Falcetto as far as you can see in all directions the 360 degree National Park views are special and stunning.

There is easy access and plenty of parking with no precipitous edges to worry about.

Whether from the lounge, poolside, or juliette balconies a feature of the two main bedrooms, you can see the small local farm, the pretty little church and in the distance from the eagles eyrie you could say, are the hillside fortress villages of Castiglioncello and Pugliano, where at lunch time the local bar serves some of the finest pasta in the area! At Reusa (3 miles) lies restaurant Spino Fioretti where Monday to Friday a superb lunch is just Euro 12 incl water and wine. Ask for 'Pranzo del lavoro'.

Within a National Park the whole area is totally unspoilt, and it is sometimes hard to believe that you are not living in a different age. You may drive the twenty minutes or so across to Fivizzano, the main town in the Commune, have a coffee at Elviros, freely exchange your books, and maybe only see one or two cars. Restaurants are numerous and have a rustic charming quality, and the ever friendly Italians always ready with a buona sera or buon appetito.

At the same time we are not isolated. Local amenities, ie bank, PO, supermarket can be found at Casola a five minute drive away. Similar drive time to the little town of Pieve San Lorenzo and with free parking then get the train to the lovely walled renaissance city of Lucca (one hour and about Euro 6), or just about anywhere else from Rome to Milan. Alternatively a one hour drive will take you down to the coastal beaches Lerici or Portovenere and the heart of the World heritage site of Cinque Terre with its little Cornish type coves and precipitous cliffs plunging to the sea. Another twenty minutes drive would have you in Ravello, Santa Margueritta, Portofino or in the other direction to Viareggio or inland to Parma the home of parmegiano cheese, and Parma ham or back down the coast to Florence!! The options are endless

For your information the property can be seen on Google Earth with the following co-ordinates: Elevation: 548
44 degrees 13 minutes 15.91 N
10 degrees 11 minutes 43.91 E

The property benefits from a large heated pool, 10m x 5m (heat pump) to help extend the season.

2 weeks in the mountains
We recently enjoyed 2 weeks at the property and it was exactly as we had hoped - quiet, relaxing and a great getaway from our hectic lives. The road in was not as precarious as others had mentioned and once at the home it’s fantastic. The views are wonderful and all the conveniences one would expect are at your fingertips. We would definitely recommend this property.

A beautiful location in the Tuscan hills
We stayed at this villa for 2 weeks and it was in such an idyllic location. The view of the mountains was breath taking. We went in August and it was very hot so having the pool there was an absolute god send. The temperature was perfect and it was well maintained. We did 3 big trips to Lucca, Florence and Pisa. We drove to Lucca (unfortunately the local train doesn't run anymore) and Pisa without any issues, takes around 90 minutes. For Florence we drove to La Spezia and caught the train from there, again very easy. It turned out that on the return journey, business class was cheaper than standard class and included snacks and drinks! Definitely worth checking beforehand. The house itself was very clean but did get hot at night, however fans are provided in each room. The curtains are white and thin so if you have light sleepers it's worth bringing along some blackout blinds. One of the beds was quite squeaky but other than that everything was very well equipped and maintained. There are a variety of larger supermarkets in Aulla (including Lidl) which were handy to stop at on the way back up to the house from day trips out. Agriturismo Spino Fiorito restaurant is definitely worth a visit, the food was incredible. Overall, a wonderful stay that we thoroughly enjoyed 😃

Splendid views!
This home is just wonderful! The house, the views, all of it. If you want a cozy spot with peace and quiet, one with good restaurants around, or a kitchen to try your own Italian cooking in, this is it. And the pool is an added bonus. Tony answered any questions we had and left us some lovely wine. Such a pleasant place to spend a vacation! Was tough to leave!

Magic Mountain view
This property is magical. From the house to the pool very very private to the most amazing view. Well appointed beautiful and clean. Could not fault it. We had the best time there and highly recommend if you want peace and quiet. We went on lots of easily accessible day trips with our car but the train and bus stations are close by if needed. We had some authentic Italian meals in the many restaurants dotted around the district. Can not recommend this place highly enough.

Stunning views and beautiful, comfortable villa with swimming po
We had an amazing time staying at Cassa Falcetto. The house is just lovely and had everything we needed. It is tastefully and simply decorated and was perfect for our needs. The view is simply stunning and takes your breath away. The swifts fly down and drink from the pool while you are in it and other than a few mildly irritating horsefly bites there were virtually no mosquitos. The roads are challenging but we soon got used to it and had various trips to local villages which was fun but we didn’t do much sightseeing due to Covid 19. It was the perfect covid getaway! Paul was very helpful and quick to respond when we had a problem and all in all it was a super relaxing holiday

Amazing vistas and private property all to ourselves!
If you’re looking to get lost for a week or more, but still have access to all that northern Tuscany has to offer then this is the place! The views: amazing! The property: clean, spacious and very nicely appointed. The vicinity - basically its all yours! There’s no other houses or anything close by (a car is mandatory) but that’s exactly what we were looking for! Although finding the place at first is a bit tricky, that’s part of the experience! Tony and family went out of their way to provide excellent “town by town” directions and we were smart enough to fly-in midday, so plenty of sun to find our way there. First impressions: pool - stunning, views - stunning, house - impeccably clean, drive up to house - challenging (but completely doable in any decent car). Over the week we used this as our base and visited the Cinque Terre, Lucca and Florence by train (just 9 mins drive away), Pisa and drove into Emilia-Romagna as well! It was perfectly situated to get us where we wanted to go without much hassle and coming back to this bit of “heaven on earth” and a dip in the pool each evening allowed us to unwind after some interesting / harrowing drives. There’s also a well documented book with all the local things to do, restaurants, activities, etc. they really have gone out of their way to make sure you’ll enjoy every second of your stay! The ONLY downside was a concrete beam that seems to suspend just across the top of the stairs headed to the bedrooms that I repeatedly whacked with my head (I’m 6’5” tall) and almost sent us to the hospital one night (as it also is in the path to the bathroom). I might suggest a different colour or even a hanging item there that would remind us taller folk! All in all - a spectacular week enhanced by the weather and our sightseeing trips! I have about 100 photos of the views from the property and a few will be hanging on our walls for the memories, back home soon! I know lots of people say this, but we mean it: we WILL be back!!

Lovely property with fabulous views.
The property was very clean, tastefully decorated, furnished and equipped and in wonderful surroundings. The pool was warm and a beautifully situated with a fantastic view of the mountains and the night sky. The villa is off the beaten track so be prepared to face winding, narrow roads for @ the last 5 kilometres and a long rough track on the property. Lots of wildlife, including insects and lizards, although few mosquitoes and a sighting of a wild boar on one evening. Lovely wildflower bank and also plenty of flowers. I would love to visit again.

Away from it all
This was a beautiful property in a beautiful location. We had an issue on the first night with the outside lights not working but we emailed tony and it was sorted the next day by a local couple who look after the property. Although we like rurality we struggled for things like bread as it doesn't keep overnight and we had to be more organised or go out every day. The holiday was fantastic and we would recommend this property.

Italian Idyll
Our first experience of Tuscany was top notch. The Villa is perfect - plenty of room for a family of 4 with all home comforts. The pool was a wonderful treat and relief in the heat, and the welcome wine was a lovely surprise. The surrounding countryside is spectacular and the view from the property is stunning. Plenty of amazing flora and fauna on the door step and swimming in the pool whilst swallows swooped to drink around me was a great experience. We also saw plenty of birds, deer and think we hear a wild boar whilst walking the local trails. There are myriad local day trip options - Pisa and Florence were busy but worth the effort. Cinque Terre was stunning but a little too busy for us admittedly in August. Lerici beach was a better beach experience for us - stunning views, golden sand and you can hire chairs or loungers. Local food options were delicious and great value. The cheese and meat shop in Metra around the corner from the restaurant (La Buffalo?) sold the most delicious mozarella and pecorino straight from the producer. Other great day trips were Equi Therme caves and lido, local lake (Lago di Gramolazzo) with boat hire at camp site, Lucca is stunning and worth some time. Just relaxing at the Villa and walking the deserted local trails / pottering in the nearby towns and villages kept us well entertained. Many thanks for providing the base for a truly wonderful and relaxing summer holiday.

Great stay!
Really fantastic vacation in the mountains of northern Tuscany! The house, while having a small footprint, comfortably fit our party of 5. Clean and well appointed, the house enabled us to have a wonderful vacation. The hosts were kind enough to provide us with a couple of bottles of wine upon arrival- that’s a really nice touch. Would have liked the pool a bit warmer but it was April and cool at night so understandable. Quaint little villages all around that we enjoyed exploring. The views are priceless! A wonderful respite. Thank you!

An inspired home with glorious views and embracing seclusion
The only disappointment about Casa Falcetto is dragging yourself away from its idyll into the maelstrom of Tuscany's more frenetic parts. Great imagination has gone into designing a house that sits amidst a panorama which changes beguilingly with the light. This part of Tuscany is untouched by tourism, making it a unique haven. Nearby Pugliano is a curious delight - the 'pub', pizza and small shop all delightful. Every Saturday in August there's a community knees up worth attending. As mentioned elsewhere the pranzos are amazing in taste and value. Be warned, best booking Spino's near Reusa as despite its remoteness its very popular (closed Mondays) and for good reason. Also, Hotel Belvedere beyond Metra well worth a sundowner and evening meal. Cinque Terre towns in August is a bit like being funneled through a packed football stadium - but would recommend the Blue Marlin in Vernazza whose owner plays the piano bringing calm to chaos. The best bit was returning to Falcetto with the children playing endlessly in the pool, then sipping wine before tucking into a barbecue. As probably gathered, can't recommend this holiday home enough - it helped create one of our most relaxing holidays. Thank you Tony.

Quite simply the most idyllic setting and a villa which was everything we had hoped for, and more
We had a fabulous week based here and exploring the stunning countryside on foot and by car. If you are looking for total privacy, breathtaking views and a beautiful villa, inside & out, this is perfect. We will definitely be returning (something we never do). We were a family of 4, the pool was a real hit with the children, but there is plenty of space for 6 people. It got a little chilly outside in the evenings but we enjoyed watching some of the DVDs and playing games left for our use by the owners. Really comfortable beds too - it gets light by 07:00 so an eye mask was the only thing missing.

Herrlicher Ausblick rund ums Haus
Das Haus befindet sich in einer wunderbaren Umgebung, ohne Nachbarn doch mit vielfältigsten Tieren aus der Natur. Wir konnten Schwalben, Fledermäuse, Rehe, Fasane etc. auf dem Grundstück begrüßen. Die Auffahrt zum Haus war allerdings sehr beschwerlich und eine große Belastung für das Auto. Das Haus, das Grundstück und der Pool sind in einem sehr guten Zustand und traumhaft schön. Die Sauberkeit im Haus war für uns jedoch nur befriedigend. Da es im Haus keine Klimaanlage gibt wäre es für uns wünschenswert gewesen, Moskitonetze vor den Fenstern zu haben, um auch nachts beruhigt mit offenem Fenster schlafen zu können. Alles in allem war es für uns ein wundervoller Urlaubsort, um in Ruhe zu entspannen und das Land genießen zu können. Wir würden jederzeit gerne wiederkommen! Einen lieben Dank auch an Linda und Toby Perkins, die im Vorfeld sehr bemüht waren unsere Fragen zu beantworten.

A view to die for! Excellent base to visit the Garfagnana, Lunigiana region and Carrara coast.
Perfect retreat with the most stunning views. A rather bumpy road leads to the cosy villa, where you can enjoy complete tranquillity, a heated pool and dining al fresco with fireflies dancing in the background. Lots of interesting old towns to visit: a daytrip to Lucca by local train through the Garfagnana valley, Sarzana, Fivizzano, Pontremole and the old Carrara town centre and a visit by boat to the Cinque Terre coastal villages. There is a new sophisticated BBQ, but for us, cookery freaks, the kitchen was rather unpractical with a smoke alarm right above the hob. We found local people to be extremely friendly and helpful and it is worthwhile to taste the local products.
