About this property

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

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.

Great House in a beautiful location
It was very lovely staying at the beautiful house of Tony and Linda. Views from the House are stunning and the pool is great. The house is perfect for summertime and perfect for exploring Tuscany. With trips to Lucca, Pisa and Cinque Terre. We came out of season in end september and unfortunately the weather was not great and therefore the house felt a bit small for 5 persons as we were not much outside. However the heating functioned very well. Many of the restaurants in the neighbourhood were closed most days because of the time of year. The communication with the hosts was great also during the stay and they were very helpful. The house was very clean, however unfortunately the previous renters didn’t clean the cutlery and dishes very well. outside.

Wunderschönes Haus in traumhafter Lage
Wir haben im September 10 schöne und ruhige Tage in diesem sehr sehr schönen Haus verbracht. Die Aussicht und der Pool sind traumhaft, die Ausstattung des Hauses vollkommen ausreichend. Da die Lage aber durchaus einsam ist braucht man ein Auto. Wer also seine Ruhe haben möchte ist hier komplett richtig.

3rd time in casa del falcetto- again amazing stay
We spend wonderful 2 weeks in this beautiful and relaxing house. Tony and Linda are wonderful hosts and have made some small but nice adjustment to the house during the years. We love the outdoor shower, the well maintaned property and the stunnig view with the pool and the mountains. Communication as always uncomplicated. If you are looking for a peaceful and close to natur place- this it is.

Entspannte Familienzeit in naturnaher Lage
Wir hatten eine total entspannte Woche in dem Ferienhaus. Es liegt idyllisch mitten in der Natur und man hat von dort einen wunderbaren Blick auf die traumhafte Berg- und Landschaftskulisse. Die Tierwelt grüßt regelmäßig, sei es der Fuchs, der abends ringsum nach dem rechten sieht, Rehe, Wildschweine, zahlreiche große und kleine Vögel. Der Pool ist klasse und wird gut gepflegt. Kenneth hieß uns herzlich willkommen und gab zudem gute Tipps, z.B. der Markt in Fivizzano (Nebenstrecke dorthin ist abenteuerlich). Alle Mahlzeiten konnten wir fünf Erwachsenen dank des super Wetters draußen unter dem Sonnenschirm einnehmen. Am Küchentresen wäre es etwas eng geworden, aber durchaus möglich. Alles in allem eine runde Sache. Herzlichen Dank für die Gastfreundschaft.

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.

Nice and peacefull villa
Linda & Tony are gracious hosts and know their villa's surroundings well so all tips were spot on. The villa is beautifully situated with no immediate neighbors so a relaxing stay is guaranteed for those of us looking for peace and quiet. For off-season stays its best to check carefully the restaurant opening times, but plenty good places around. Car with a higher clearance recommended, especially if venturing to smaller back roads.

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 😃

After spending 3 weeks in Casa del Falcetto in 2020 we were very excited if we would love the place again so much. What should I say? We felt like coming home! The house has everything that we need, the pool is lovely and the view is stunning. Linda and Tony are lovely and welcoming hosts given all the current information you need ahead. Looking forward to 2024!

Ein kleines Paradies!
Wir hatten eine traumhafte Woche in der Lunigiana und in Tonys und Lindas Haus! Man kann es nicht anders sagen- man kommt sich vor, als wäre man im Paradies gelandet: Diese Ruhe, diese Aussicht, der große Pool, alles zusammen ist Balsam für die Seele. Wer ganz nah an der Natur sein möchte und trotzdem nicht auf ein wenig Luxus verzichten will, ist hier gut aufgehoben. Der Reinigungsservice hatte alles wundervoll für unsere Ankunft vorbereitet, die Betten sind sehr bequem (auch für Rücken-geschädigte), Moskitonetze in den meisten Fenstern, ausreichende Ausstattung in der Küche, Bäder sauber, genügend Hand- und Badetücher…. Einfach nichts auszusetzen. Eine absolute Bereicherung ist Kenneth, der zweimal die Woche kommt und sich um den Pool und den Garten kümmert- abgesehen davon, dass er seinen Job super macht, war er unser ganz persönlicher Tourist-Guide. Er kennt sich in der Gegend bestens aus und kann sehr gute Tipps zu allen Lebensbereichen liefern. Auch unsere Kinder waren rundum glücklich- jeden Abend ab ca 22:00 Uhr erleuchtete das Haus im Licht von Abertausenden von Glühwürmchen- was für ein Spektakel! Dazu die Geräusche der Natur von Fuchs, Wildschwein und Kauz… früh morgens dann Rehe am Haus… Der Abschied fiel uns sehr schwer- nächstes Mal buchen wir für zwei Wochen, die Region bietet noch so viel zu entdecken! Tausend Dank für dieses Erlebnis und bis bald! Herzliche Grüße.

Ein außergewöhnlicher Platz in der Natur
Wir waren als Familie mit 3 Kindern und Hund an diesem schönen Ort inmitten der Natur. Unser Hund hat die große Freiheit genossen - endlich über ein riesiges Grundstück wachen. Das meiste ist schon in den Bewertungen gesagt. Das Haus hat alles was man benötigt. Am Morgen Frühstück auf der Terrasse mit Blick auf die Berge der Apuanischen Alpen (ein Traum)! Der Pool ist bei uns so zwischen 21-23 Grad gewesen, Trotz der niedrigen Außentemperatur 16-18 Grad konnten wir ihn an sonnigen Tagen verwenden. Man ist dort wirklich für sich und kann die Ruhe genießen. Wandern ist natürlich ein Muss - die Region hat wirklich viele schöne Bergdörfer.

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!

About the host

Hosted by Mr Tony Perkins

Host profile image
We are Linda and Tony, have been married for over forty years, and living in the same house for over thirty of them. We have two children, Mark (30) and Emma (34), and a sixteen year old grand-daughter, Liana, borne within a few months of our Miniature Schnauzer, Chip. So you can see we are well and truly set in our ways, although we hope not boring with it. We have run a small local business together for the last thirty or so years, and are proud to say still managed to make it through. We hope you will enjoy staying in our beautiful Tuscan home of which we are very proud.

Why they chose this property

I had a health scare around this time, which prompted us to cast around for a project to take our mind off things, and without ever really expecting it to crystallize into anything visited Lunigiana, the ancient name for the most Northern part of Tuscany. Having driven up into the National Park foothills of the Apuane Mountains, with almost every turn of the road bringing either a picturesque or extensive scenic view, we came to the fortress village of Casola set on a rocky outcrop as one sees so often in travelogues. The whole area is so totally unspoilt, and once we set eyes upon our delightful old barn, set amongst vine terraces and olive groves high up on the side of hill, despite trying very hard to walk away, it was a done deal.

What makes this property unique

Total peace, quiet and privacy, it is quite something if you see a car drive down the road on the other side of the valley.
A massive (10m x 5m) heated pool (heated at no cost to guests) for your sole use, with wonderful views in every direction.
Lovely walks along countryside tracks to make your own personal discoveries.
If you want a change of scene there is wonderful accessibility to choose from; the coast - there are all sorts of resorts from Pisa to Genoa from the hustle and bustle of Viareggio or Rapallo to the sophistication of Portovenere and the Cinque Terre; or of course the wonderful charm of the renaissance cities of Pisa, Florence or lovely Lucca yours in an hour for about Euro 6 from our little local station at Pieve san Lorenzo.
