Ein kleines Paradies
Casa d‘Eli ist ein toller Ort. Es ist alles da, was man braucht und man ist absolut für sich mitten in Natur. Es gibt einen tollen Pool, der Garten ist wunderschön und riesig, was vor allem unseren Hund gefreut hat und man ist tatsächlich über zwei kleine Brücken in 5 Minuten ins Dorf gelaufen mit einer super Eisdiele, einem netten Bäcker und einer wirklich guten Pizzeria. Wanderungen kann man direkt vom Haus starten und der Fluss, der neben dem Haus fließt, ist ein Ereignis! Ein absolutes Naturspektakel muss unbedingt erwähnt werden, weil wir so etwas noch nie gesehen haben und es war wunderschön: in der Dämmerung leuchten tausende von Glühwürmchen am Waldrand auf und machen Casa d‘Eli zu einem tatsächlich magischen Ort! Wir haben dieses Ereignis jeden Abend mit einem Glas Rotwein gefeiert! Unser Dank gilt auch den wunderbaren Vermietern, die sich ganz herzlich um uns gekümmert haben! Vielen Dank für diesen schönen Urlaub!

Very nice house with a great pool area
We were a group of 6 people (4 adults and 2 children). The house and grounds are extremely well maintained. The kitchen has everything you need and much more. The bathrooms are great and impeccable. It's completely secluded there and yet it's a 10-minute walk to the village. The access to the house is a bit challenging because it's a bit narrow, but we drove there without any problems in a Mercedes V-Class. Just needs some practice. We had Wi-Fi outages in the afternoon and evening. The mobile reception there is very good. Unfortunately, the local landlords speak almost no English. A few knowledge of Italian is therefore an advantage. We would like to thank you for the great stay and would be happy to come back.

Amazing villa in lovely and quiet surroundings
Our family of 4 thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lovely villa. The house was clean and comfortable and the spacious surroundings were very private with no immediate neighbors. The pool was fantastic and situated close to the house with nice sunbeds and sunshades. The hosts Loriana and Alessandro were very friendly and helpful. We definitely recommend this property and would love to come back.

Schöne saubere Anlage, schon recht einsam/ abgelegen
Das große Haus ist Landestypisch eingerichtet, wir finden, dass man mit 4 Personen viel Platz hat, bei 6 Personen sehen wir dies nicht ganz so gegeben, ggf. geht es noch mit Kindern. Die Anfahrt ist wirklich abenteuerlich und man sollte die Abmessungen von seinem FZ. genau kennen. Zum nächsten Ort sind es zu Fuß, über einen Waldweg z.T. mit Steinen ca. 2 Minuten, zum Einkaufen muss immer das Auto genommen werden, dies sollte man wissen. Nach Lucca sind es mit dem Auto ca. 60 Minuten. Die Anlage ist schön und abgelegen , für andere nicht einsehbar gelegen, dass ganze Gelände ist sehr gepflegt. Wir hatten im oberen Bad in der Badewanne/ Dusche einen sehr geringen Wasserdruck. Wer also viel Ruhe , Abgeschiedenheit sucht und dann doch gern auch mal Auto fährt, findet ein gutes Objekt. Wir waren mit 4 Erwachsenen vor Ort

Privathaus mit Charme
Uns hat der Aufenthalt sehr gefallen. Wir sind durch Loriana gut betreut worden. Das Haus hat alles was nötig ist. Die beiden Kingsize Betten sind durchgehangen. Die Dusche im Bad ist nur für Kinder. Die Dusche unten war OK. Müsste einmal ersetzt werden. Sonst ist das Haus mit Pool grossartig. Wir haben mit dem Bike 5 Touren gemacht. Die Berge faszienieren und haben uns sehr gefallen. Lucca ist ca. 25km entfernt. Mehrere Besuche wert. Besten Dank für die 14 Tage Ferien. Bernhard

Fantastisch huis voor een rustige dolce far niente vakantie
Het huis heeft alles wat je nodig heb. Zeer rustig gelegen, alle nodige voorzieningen, meer dan voldoende keukengerei, 3 mooie slaapkamers en 2 zeer goede badkamers. Buiten is er een zeer goed zwembad. Vanwege de ligging in de bergen moet het water wel wat opwarmen, 's morgens is het wat aan de koude kant. Het enige minpunt (voor ons toch) was het baantje naar het huis. Dit is zeer tricky en hobbelig. Je moet de afmeting van je auto goed kunnen inschatten. Dit hield ons toch wat tegen om snel de auto te nemen om ergens naartoe te rijden. Tip voor de verhuurder: best vermelden welke grootte van auto in de doorgang past. Hou er ook rekening mee dat je voor elke uitstap wel wat tijd moet uitrekken om in de auto te zitten. Maar absoluut een zeer zalig huis met alle nodige voorzieningen.

Beautiful remote location
The house is positioned secluded from the rest of the village so you‘ll having lots of privacy and no neighbors. The driveway is really adventurous but we were rewarded by a deer coming close in the morning and thousands of fireflies at night. We did not miss anything in the house and used the barbecue a lot. In the village you‘ll find a good Restaurant at a reasonable price. So all in all a beautiful place to relax.

Lovely villa in beautiful surroundings
Casa Eli met all our expectations. It is a gorgeous villa set in amazing countryside with incredible views of the mountains. Be aware that to access the track to the villa, you have to squeeze through a very narrow entrance. However, this is managable with care. We chose Casa Eli to celebrate my 60th birthday with our grown up family and were not disappointed. There were a few tears when we were having to leave and would love to go back. Thank you for the lovely biscuits & wine (the chocolate in the shape if a 60 was a lovely touch). The villa has everything you need including an amazing pool. It's a 10 minute walk (cross country) to the village Pieve Fosciana (note this includes some uneven ground and a steep climb). You can find everything you need there, including supermarkets, cafés, small bars, and a great restaurant ( Ill pozzo). You could easily spend your whole holiday chilling at the villa but there is so many lovely places to see in the area. We would love to come back.

Fantastic property for a relaxing holiday.
This was a fantastic holiday! The property was spacious, clean and cool although due to the fantastic weather we didn't spend a lot of time in the house. The gardens are what really make this place special though. The pool facilities are perfect and the ample land gives plenty of space for children to play safely. At all times it feels peaceful and gives you the opportunity to enjoy the sites and sounds of nature. Despite this seclusion the property is a very pleasant 10 minute walk to the local town which has an excellent restaurant and gelateria as well as shops for all the provisions you need. Although we would have been happy to spend all our time at Casa Eli it was a great base to explore many local towns and villages and all the food , drink and hospitality they have to offer. Further afield visits to Luca, Pisa, Pistoia and the Lerici coast are highly recommended. For us this property, location and weather gave us the almost perfect holiday.

Excellent property - the perfect peaceful retreat
We absolutely loved our holiday at Casa Eli - the weather was perfect and enabled us to enjoy the property and region to it's fullest potential. The property was lovely although we spent most of our time outside using the excellent pool at every opportunity. The gardens are secluded and allow complete peace but a short walk takes you into the local town with it's fantastic ice cream shop and Festa Della Bistecca. The surroundng area is beautiful with a multitude of cosy villages offering great food, drink and stunning views. Whilst a little further afield visits to Lucca, Pisa, Pistoia and Lerici coastline are highly recommended.

Wonderful stay in Paradise
We had a great time at Casa Eli. A peaceful place down close to Pieve Foscina, which is a lovely town with kind people. The owners did everything to make us feel at home. The drive down to the house was a challenge at first, but after a while you will get used to it. We had a great time!

Beautiful villa, beautiful surroundings
On arrival the owners were amazing, showed us around, answered questions and were very friendly. They have dealt with any issue we have had straight away and have just been fabulous. The villa itself was in beautiful condition,keeping within the rustic area it’s set, the pool was just right. The pizza oven and the outhouse (gym) you can sit in. With the beautiful woodland around and the 10 min walk into the village, you didn’t really need to go anywhere else. We choose to go into Lucca, Pisa and Florence via train and that was the best decision as we got to take in the beautiful scenery. We really have had the most relaxing time. Thank you villa Eli for helping make it a holiday to remember x

What a fantastic secluded villa
We have had a great stay at this villa, the villa is spacious, clean and equipped. Its very secluded and feel your in the middle of nowhere. The turning to get on to the private road is difficult but was managed in a minibus. There was bikes available and a bike hire shop nearby, ideal area for cyclists. The countryside is beautiful. Pool area was a great relief for those hot days and the kids enjoyed themselves. The villa was beautiful and we would definitely be returning in the future. Many thanks

Beautiful character property. Peaceful quiet location in The Garfagnana area of Tuscany.
My family enjoyed a wonderful holiday in Casa Eli. This property is very comfortable and spacious , recently refurbished with a lovely swimming pool. You will need to have a car and the driver needs to be experienced as the house is located at the end of a fairly steep track , uneven in places .but once mastered is ok . We walked to the nearby village of Pieve Fosciana a sleepy hamlet which has a good restaurant and ice cream parlour and butcher , a deli and greengrocers and a bakery. Also nearby are 2 supermarkets . Bellisimo.

A fantastic get away with lovely pool !
The property was clean & tidy on arrival, the area is so peaceful & relaxing. The pool is fantastic and gardens are lovely. There is a lot of room for the kids to play games on the very large grass areas away from the pool. We met the owners Loriana and Alessandro on days when cleaning house and pool are done. They are really friendly and helpful people. I highly recommend this villa if you are after a lovely, spacious villa with great pool and outdoor space.
