Empfehlenswert mit kleinen Einschränkungen

Es ist ein wunderbares Anwesen, sehr abgelegen und mit schwieriger Zufahrtsstraße. Sehr schönes Haus, ausreichend Platz und großzügig ausgestattet. Klasse Pool. Störend waren tägliche Mäharbeiten auf dem Nachbargrundstück mit erheblicher Geräuschbelästigung, mit Zufahrt über unser Grundstück. Wir konnten unser E Auto trotz Ankündigung und vorab Nachfragen nicht laden. Für Familien mit Kleinkindern nicht geeignet, da der Pool nicht gesichert ist. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und bestens erholt.

Sensationelle Villa mit viel Platz und Ruhe

Die Vermieter sind sehr zuvorkommend und lassen einem alle Freiheiten. Die Kommunikation erfolgte via Whatsapp und war somit sehr schnell. Das Haus und das Grundstück sind absolut sensationell. Man muss einfach wissen, dass vieles nur mit dem Auto und somit langer Fahrzeiten zu erreichen ist. Das Dörfchen selber ist herzig/übersichtlich. Die Zufahrt zum Anwesen ist etwas abenteuerlich. Mit einem tiefergelegten Auto hätte ich es nicht gewagt, die Zufahrt zu befahren. Auch der Ort selber, ist nur über ‚Passstrassen‘ zu erreichen (ausser von Lucca her, was von Norfen anreisende keinen Sinn macht). Dies bedeutet, gefühlt ewige Anfahrt von den Autobahnen her. Einzige kleine Verbesserung könnte man mit den Matratzen machen. Die, welche meine Frau und ich hatten, waren schon etwas durchgelegen. Nichtsdestotrotz ist es absolut empfehlenswert!!

Traumhaft

Wenn man über den kleinen Anstieg an der Einfahrt kommt und der Blick über diese endlose, im übrigen teppichweiche, Wiese und die zypressenbestandene Einfahrt auf das Haus fällt, dann hat es einen schon. Und da hat man noch gar nicht die sehr gemütliche hintere Hälfte des Grundstücks mit Pool und noch mehr Platz erfasst, geschweige denn den Blick zurück auf das tolle Bergpanorama. Was soll man sagen, ungestörte Ruhe, Platz ohne Ende und mit Alessandro ein freundlicher Gastgeber, der uns herzlich willkommen geheißen hat, uns wertvolle Tipps für die Umgebung gegeben und uns in allen Dingen geholfen hat, unseren Urlaub entspannt zu genießen.

Ein toller Urlaub!

Die Villa ist wunderschön. Der Außenbereich ist wie ein Park und bietet viel Platz, damit sich die Kinder austoben und die Eltern erholen können. Der Gastgeber ist sehr freundlich und war immer sofort erreichbar, wenn es fragen gab. Es gibt innerhalb von 10 Minuten Fahrtzeit zahlreiche Einkaufsmöglichkeiten. Und auch Ausflugsziele gibt es genügend. Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen und kommen gerne wieder!

Das Haus befindet sich im Alleinlage mit herrlichen Ausblick! Ein Paradies für Hunde! Riesiges Grundstück mit großem Pool! Leider ließ die Sauberkeit zu wünschen übrig! Dennoch ein tolles Feriendomizil.

"Wir haben einen herrlichen Familienurlaub in dem Anwesen verbracht. Es hat eigentlich alles gestimmt. Der Ort- nicht touristisch erschlossen- und die Unterkunft kann man nur empfehlen. Es fehlt nichts in der Ausstattung des Hauses. Man fühlt sich sofort heimelig und die Abgeschiedenheit bringt eine Ruhe, die man in der heutigen Zeit braucht. Der Pool ist herrlich und erfrischend. Man braucht eigentlich mehr. Wir werden gerne wieder dort unseren Urlaub verbringen."

Beautiful location to be! The best Tuscan place ever...

We have spent 2 incredible weeks of holidays at Pruneta di Sopra! Our 2 children, our dog and ourselves have enjoyed a lot the villa, the pool and the huge garden! It’s a piece of heaven on earth! The villa, the garden and pool provide all you need to enjoy the beautiful Tuscan days. Quiet and peaceful location being the perfect starting point to discover the north of Tuscany and more... the small town “Castelnuovo di Garfagnana “ has a lot of Charme and has nice restaurants to discover, our absolute favourite: la Bottega del Fattore! Lucca, Livorno, Barga, La Spezia, Forte dei Marmi, Porto Venere or Pisa all destinations to discover within 1 to 1.5 hours driving distance! The house is extremely well maintained... it’s the best location we have been in Italy!!! And we have tried some Alessandro and his father are so kind! Very interesting and kind persons always at your disposal in case of any need... 2 persons you have to like! We are really honoured to have had the chance to meet them we will come back

Close to heaven

The location of this property is excellent if you want solitude, space and adventure. But you will need a sturdy car and strong nerves to get up the steep and twisty unmade road. The house is lovely, but a bit lacking in bathrooms and kitchen equipment. It could be a bit of a squeeze if fully occupied. We were mountain biking and rode from the property every day, although the start is nearly always up . The pool is magnificent and there is also an outdoor table tennis table if you have the energy. We saw deer, black squirrels and an unfortunate murder of a bird by an eagle - they don't put the sound on TV documentaries. Absolutely loved it and can't wait to go back.

The most wonderful place to stay

We had the pleasure of staying for two weeks at Pruneta di Sopra. Two families from Norway with children ages 7 to 15. Our wonderful hosts Alessandro and his father were attentive on every request. With their warm hospitality they made sure we were fine during the stay. This is a lovely property, with a picturesque garden and a breathtaking view of the mountains. We all loved the pool with the waterfall, the fussball table on the balcony and the bbq/ dining area where we enjoyed our food and wine. Pruneta di Sopra is ideally situated, not far away from the center of the beautiful Castelnuovo di Garfagnana. Ideal base for exploring the local area. From a hike in the mountains to a bicycle ride on the walls of Lucca. We highly recommend this property. I hope we will be able to return some day. Best Regards from two Norwegian families.Mer

Beautiful property

We stayed here in August with our 4 children (10, 8, 5 and 17 months) and it was gorgeous. The views are spectacular. After a week in Venice is was lovely to get away from it all. The gardens and pool are to die for and are much better than the online pictures! The villa is well equipped with all that we needed for us and the children. There really isn’t anything we could complain about! I wouldn’t hesitate in booking again or recommending to friends. A couple of little tips, there are quite a few fly’s. Might be handy to take along some sort of plug in to reduce them when you’re in the villa in the evening. And the honey bees get thirsty and try to drink from the pool and then get stranded. Each day the children spent looking and saving the bees 🐝. There are many places to visit from the villa including Bologna and Lucca. We also went to Portovenere. But of course, making use of the bbq and pool was a terrific day alone for us! If you go then you’ll love it!
