Beautiful holiday in a mountain village

It is so incredibly quiet and beautiful in Montefegatesi! The flat is a little bit small for 5 people, but cosy and everything you needed is there! Violetta and her husband are very helpful and have good tips on what you can explore in the neighbourhood - of course the canyon and the reservoir if Orrido Di Botri where our favourites. All in all, we love Montefegatesi with it’s small café, shop and fountain with fresh drinking water in the centre of the village.

Special experience in Tuscany

My wife and I was looking to experience rural Tuscany and the fantastic natural beauty it presents. The stay at Violetta's home and her - and the people from Montefegatesi's - warm hosting us there has been extra special. This is a perfect place if you want to experience a quite and peaceful rural Italian time.

Charming stay at the top of the mountain

With my husband and friend we stayed comfortably in Violetta’s place. She was very welcoming and helpful, especially since arrival on the winding roads and finding the right place to park needs a little support. We loved exploring on foot with lots of hikes nearby and a nice market in town but also driving to explore around the area. The mobile reception was limited but we didn’t find that any issue. It was also nice to cook on the outdoor bbq and the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. Overall, a great value stay and only change I would make is to stay longer next time given the relaxing area. Thanks!

Old Time Apartment and Location

although the apartment is too old and not renovated but it is very clean, simple and give you familiar feeling, the location for the apartment is very attractive and you can do a lot of thing in this corner from Toskana, but 30 minute must be calculated till finish the berg road. the mattress was not comfort for us, there is no Wifi in the apartment and no Mobile Signal. the host is very kindly, friendly and helpful, Thanks

Cozy but isolated

We were there in the fall. The apartment is cozy and rustic. The wood stove for heating makes the living room/kitchen a warm place to stay. For relaxed and cozy rainy days, the apartment unfortunately lacks a couch, because there are only wooden chairs in the apartment except for an armchair. Otherwise, the apartment is clean and is located on the bottom floor, which is why you only have large windows in the bedroom the apartment otherwise looks more like a cellar with its small windows. If you want to completely switch off and discover nature, the apartment is just right. For us, however, the description of Bagni di Lucca was a little misleading, as the apartment is located in a remote mountain village about 20 minutes' drive away on a winding mountain road. On nice days you have a great view from the small balcony in the picturesque old mountain village.

Amazing view!

Loved our stay here. Road to Montefegatesi was long, winding, and narrow, but we managed ok with our Ford Puma. Word of warning..don't follow Google maps when leaving village. We went down a road meant only for foot traffic, but many locals helped us get backed out. Home was really clean and well equipped. Our hostess left us a nice bowl on fruit and package of fruit filled rolls that were very good. When traveling, add 20 minutes to the google ETA as it is not possible to go fast up or down the mountain. The views were amazing. The natural AC and dead quiet made for perfect sleeping for me. The natural water spring in the town center had amazingly tasting water. We highly recommend this rental, but the drive up, and walking about is not for the faint of heart. We would definitely do it again!

nice stay in Montegasteti

the object local on top of Montain. It has very nice view and fresh air. The host speaks english which is very valuable in Italy. The people in the village are all very nice, they will answer the questions. There is bar in the village, provide some service. The room are comfortable in sommer. We use it as base and travelle also from Montegasteti to pisa and firenze. It takes some time to drive to the montain. But it is a experience. If you just travelling in the region of Lucca, it is more ideally.

Beautiful mountain village

The property is beautifully situated in a small mountain village. The accommodation is very clean and functionally furnished, it has everything you need. The fact that there is no Wi-Fi available would not be a problem, unfortunately the reception via mobile provider is also relatively weak. However, we enjoyed the mostly mobile phone-free time. There is a small shop in the village, which was absolutely sufficient for our needs. Otherwise, there is a small restaurant with very nice hosts. The village itself is a jewel. However, if you want to explore Tuscany and don't have as much time (as we did), the distances are quite long. However, this also has the advantage that you think carefully about whether and where you want to go...In any case, we enjoyed our time very much and were very happy about Violetta's warm hospitality!

Sacro silenzio

Un piccolo delizioso paese in mezzo al verde. Panorami e scorci bellissimi ad ogni passo. Possibilità di semplici passeggiate o trekking più impegnativi. Una vera oasi di pace per chi come me vive nel degrado e nel caos delle città. Casa come da descrizione e proprietaria veramente gentile e disponibile.

Casa ok ma..

Casa in un piccolo paesino , il problema è che si trova abbastanza distante dal centro di Lucca e anche bagni di Lucca tra l’altro Wind , Vodafone e altre compagnie a parte tim non prendono , non hanno il pos per pagare insomma un po’ fuori dal mondo , va bene per chi non ha impegni lavorativi e non ha bisogno di internet , casa estremamente umida e fredda anche d’estate .

Perfection

Nous avons passé un très bon séjour dans la petite maison de Violetta, qui était très bien entretenue et fonctionnelle. Le petit jardin était très agréable pour manger le matin ou le soir avec cette vue sur les Apennins qui était splendide. Violetta est une hôte très charmante, disponible et prévenante. Nous ne pouvons pas assez la remercier pour son accueil tellement chaleureux. Le village de Montefegatesi est très mignon, et typique de la Toscane. Si vous avez besoin de déconnexion, c'est ici que vous pouvez le faire ! N'hésitez pas à aller vous balader dans les hauteurs du village pour suivre les traces de Dante et le retrouver sur une place entourée d'une vue panoramique sur les montagnes ! En ce qui concerne la mobilité, la voiture est indispensable. Des nombreuses petites villes sont à voir comme Lucques, mais aussi Florence qui est à 2h de routes. La mer est aussi à 1h30 de route. Encore merci pour ce beau séjour Violetta :)

Au cœur la nature

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans ce magnifique petit village Toscan niché au cœur de la nature. Nous avons été surpris de constater à quel point le village est vivant, compte-tenu de sa taille. Le logement était très propre et très bien équipé. Il est situé à proximité du centre du village ( épicerie, bar/ restaurant) et du départ des randonnées. C’était très agréable de tout pouvoir faire à pied. Nous y reviendrons avec grand plaisir.

Wundervolles Bergdorf

Wir waren 3 Nächte bei Violetta in Montefogatesi. Sie hat uns herzlich empfangen und uns das Dorf vorgestellt. Empfang ist in der Höhe nicht, aber in der Café / Bar gibt es WLAN. Es gibt einen kleinen Einkaufsladen. Alles da! Es ist ein wundervolles, ursprüngliches Dorf, wo man sich auf der kleinen Piazza trifft, sitzt und unterhält. Es gibt Tischtennis und Kicker für die Kids. Unsere Kinder sind 11 und 1, für uns passte es. 1 h bis Pisa. Die Wohnung ist ausreichend, 2 Schlafzimmer, 1 große Küche und 1 Bad mit Wanne. Manches ist in die Jahre gekommen, störte uns aber nicht. Wir haben uns wohlgefühlt.

Ganz zauberhaft

Die Wohnung ist prima und authentisch, der Ort sehr klein und ruhig und man kann dort ganz wundervolle Tage in Ruhe verbringen. Den Einkauf sollte man vor der Auffahrt in die Höhe machen, die Läden öffnen meist spät und es gibt einen Laden für fast alles. Wir sind runtergefahren nach Bagni di Lucca, weil es dort größere Läden gibt. Die Vermieterin ist klasse, eine tolle Frau, die immer erreichbar ist und sich kümmert, falls man Fragen hat. Der Weg nach oben ist auf zwei Wegen möglich, wir haben leider den genommen, der sehr eng war- wie man es in Italien eigentlich erwartet. Würden wieder hinfahren, hat einen tollen, romantischen Stil dort.

Idylle pur in traumhafter Umgebung

Uns hat der Aufenthalt sehr gefallen. Der kleine Ort liegt mitten in den Bergen und die Wohnung bietet mit ihrer Terrasse einen unvergesslichen Blick in die Natur und das kleine mittelalterliche Dorf. Nur eine knappe halbe Stunde von Bagni di Lucca entfernt, bietet sich der Ort an, um die nordwestliche Toskana zu erkunden (Pisa, Lucca). Die Wohnung ist urig, ursprünglich authentisch und sehr gut gepflegt. Es gibt zahlreiche Wanderwege in der Nähe. Wir haben die große Gastfreundschaft von Violetta und ihrem Mann sehr geschätzt und kommen gern mit unserem Sohn wieder, wenn er etwas größer ist und mit den anderen Dorfkids zusammen Fußball spielen kann .. ;)

About the host

Hosted by Violetta Baldera

Why they chose this property

I decided to rent this property because I love this place, rich in history and nature. I would like visitors of my structure could come back to taste the simple things, like silence, the bright colors of flowers, the majesty of a ridge or the wonder of a sunset. The reality of life in a small village that, maybe because of its position, has managed to preserve in this global world, the authenticity of past times.
