Little slice of Tuscan paradise
We are just back from our stay and it was a truly genuine Tuscan experience. We were treated to a gorgeous meal on our night of arrival with our host Francesca and her family. She made us all the local dishes, we tried her stunning wines and we got so much advice on where to visit on our trip from her. She was so helpful, we just texted throughout our stay with any questions. The villa was stunning, and the pool was a huge hit with our teenagers. This is a great spot to explore from and we went to Lucca, the beach at Forte di Marmi, La Cinque Terra and also a trip to see some caves. But it was so lovely to come back to the vill a and relax each evening. It had everything you could possibly want to cook and also plenthy of towels etc... Overall an absolute hit, would love to return!

Relaxing after visiting Rome and Florence
Lovely rustic villa in the foothills of the Apuan Alps with stunning views over vinyards, the town and the sea. We were warmly greeted by owners Francesca and Manu, who invited us to join them for a buffet and to taste some of the wine they produce. The villa is set on a steep hillside on 3 levels (so you need to be ok with going up and down stairs!) The pool is set on the same level as the ground floor and has seating and sunbeds alongside. The local ameneties in nearby Ripa are limited, but there is a choice of supermarkets within a few minutes drive towards Forte Dei Marmi. FDM is clearly an 'up market' seaside town with lots of designer shops and a number of restaurants and cafes, mainly set out around the centre that joins the beach at the point where the pier is situated. The beachfront, which stretches for miles in both directions is mostly taken up by private beach clubs. These comprise restaurants and bars and a slice of the beach that they charge you (some a lot!) for using. There are small sections of beach set aside as free to use. We found a community run club called 'Commuale Levante' just before you leave FDM. €20 a day for use of 2 deckchairs, a sunbed and parasol. It's restaurant (Alle Boe) was very friendly and reasonably priced. Best place we found for eating out was nearby Pietrasanta, which has a real old-town feel, but is also a centre for sculpture of all kinds, which is all around you. Daytrip to walled town, Lucca (40 mins drive) was well worth it.

Wonderful House & Hospitality
Francesca & her family could not have been more welcoming or helpful - the house is spotlessly clean, with amazing views to the sea. It is also beautifully restored so you are staying in an authentic and charming farmhouse close to many interesting and enjoyable sites to visit. We cannot recommend this venue highly enough!

Amazing stay in this fantastic property with amazing views
We had a great stay at Francesca and Emmanuel's place. Very friendly and helpful hosts, that make you feel at home from the moment you arrive. Thanks for the great welcome dinner, and the flexibility of eating late because of our delay in arrival. We enjoyed the peaceful location, and amazing views from the hills. We did trips early in the day, and spent time in and around the pool during the hot afternoon hours. The olive garden provides great shadows.

A fantastic long weekend in Tuscany
Francesca and her family were the absolute best hosts we have ever had in a VRBO. The house was in the perfect spot for our trips to the beach, a day in Lucca and a boat rental in La Spezia. Francesca helped make all of the reservations for the beach club (when everything was supposedly sold out!!) and two of the most unique and special restaurants. We never would have found them on our own but they were better than we could have imagined. If I could give the home 6 stars I would.

Care makes you happy
Francesca is an amazing hostess, and the house was impeccable and charming and well equipped. Communication went very smoothly via WhatsApp and we stayed there at the end of august for three days. We enjoyed the views from the house, and the beach at Forte dei Marmi which you can reach in 10-15 minutes. Francesca and her family invited us generously for a beautiful dinner when we arrived, which we never experienced before whilst renting houses in Italy! She makes her own delicious wines, which are for sale, highly recommended! A very kind gesture was also to find some water, milk and yoghurts in the fridge and some eggs, bread and jam etc. or breakfast, all very thoughtful. It was special to see the vineyards and the sea from the kitchen. The swimming pool is nice to cool down in, but not really suited to swim your laps in. The house is on a hill, with great views. The terrain is quite steep, there is a car port for the car, it can require some manoeuvring for long cars. Thank you again Francesca!

Perfect tranquil location for a family holiday
We thoroughly enjoyed our recent stay at Francesca’s and Emmanuelle’s home. Situated a few miles from Forte die Marmi in their own vineyard in the beautiful hills. We loved the gorgeous secluded pool with the amazing view. Francesca and her family couldn’t have been more welcoming:- inviting us to dinner with them on our first night, and inviting us to sample their wine produced from their own vineyard. We felt privileged to have been so welcomed by them, and it really made our stay so special, to be able to join them in harvesting the grapes and a post-harvest Italian lunch with their relatives. Many thanks to Francesca, Emmanuelle, Marco and Sky the french bulldog!... and see you again! X

Charming villa, with amazing views and great hosts
We stayed for a week in August and the villa was perfect for our family of four. Our children would have happily spent the entire holiday in the pool, which would could also easily have done, as it was very relaxing to watch the world go by from its quiet, elevated position in the hills. The villa, however, is also well placed for exploring the surrounding area, with beach ahead, hills/mountains behind and easy access to plenty of the history and culture you would expect of Tuscany. The property itself is a charming, rustic villa and we didn't feel the photos quite did it justice. The view greeting you from the main bedroom on opening the shutters in the morning was genuinely good for the soul! The pool is also only metres away, despite feeling secluded and there is a ground floor w/c which makes for a very convenient set-up, despite the property being over three floors. As other reviewers have noted, our hosts were excellent. Freindly and welcoming and always available to help, without being overbearing. Francesca cooked us a lovely meal early into our stay and chatting with her and her family (not to mention drinking wine produced on their vineyard!) very much helped cement our affection for the property and area. Very pleased that we chose to stay here and would happily do so again.

Wonderful stay in a beautiful Toscan Villa
This place is absolutely magnificent. Neither the descrition, nor the pictures gives full justice to the charming villa and it's breathtaking view of the ocean and neighboring mountains. Francesca and her family are considerate, attentive hosts, doing their best to help at all time. The house is well-equipped, has great rooms and a very authentic charm. It's Tuscany in the summer, so it's hot, and there's no air condition. Also there's plenty of mosquitos. But other that that, no complaints whatsoever. We would happily return.

A beautiful villa with stunning view surrounded by vines and olive trees
We had a lovely fortnight in this beautiful villa in August 2018. Francesca and her family made us feel so very welcome, and shared some lovely food and wine with us. The villa was spacious, clean and well equipped, and the kids loved being in the pool. By day there is a great view to the coast and by night you can sit out under the stars. We found lots of good things to do in the area including Pisa, Florence and Lucca. The local beach was clean and affordable and the sea was so warm.

Warm memories of a great place with loving hospitality
We enjoyed so much our stay with it's gorgeous views, the relaxing villa and (vineyard) grounds with refreshing pool and above all the warmth and care of our hosts Francesca and Manu. Our girls (3 and 6) loved every minute of it and were so thrilled to be there for one of the harvests. We cherish our memories and photos and enjoyed the proximity to the beach, hiking in the Alpuane, culture/shopping/meals in Pietrasanta and Serravezza just minutes away. We are forever grateful to our wonderful host Dr. Giorgio who took such great care of us when my wife got ill in the middle of our lovely holiday. Plus made the most lovely birthday panna cotta ever made. We can't wait to get back to this lovely place and luckily we have some bottles from the vineyard to refresh our memories and tide us over in the meantime...

Wunderschöner Toskanaurlaub im Oktober
Wir teilen die Erfahrungen anderer Gäste und waren begeistert von Francescas herzlicher Gastfreundschaft, ihrem fantastischen Wein und Willkommensessen, ihrer wunderbaren Familie und der eindrucksvollen Lage des Hauses im Weinberg, von der aus man alle möglichen tollen Unternehmungen starten kann. Unser Highlight war ein Abstecher nach Ligurien und eine Hop on und off-Bootstour entlang der Cinque Terre...auch für die Teenager war das ein Knaller :-). Der Ausblick vom Haus: einfach traumhaft! Ein bisschen verleidet haben uns die Zeit die gnadenlosen Mücken, die trotz Schichten von Schutzmitteln jedes Frühstücken auf der Terrasse oder abendliches Draußensitzen unmöglich gemacht haben. Das Haus selbst ist bis auf ein paar Kleinigkeiten (Topflappen?) gut ausgestattet - wenn etwas fehlt oder gebraucht wird, ist Francesca sowieso jederzeit ansprechbar und hilft sofort. Wirklich ungemütlich waren die (wenigen) Liegen, deren kaputte Rückenlehnen nicht einstellbar waren. Und auf eine abenteuerliche Auffahrt (wir haben unseren Automatik noch nie so geschätzt) muss man sich einstellen. Ansonsten kann man die Toskana hier in vollen Zügen genießen und problemlos jeden Tag das unserer Meinung nach beste Eis der ganzen Region (inklusive Eisdielen-Reiseführer-Tipp in Florenz) im Ort durchprobieren...unfassbar lecker!

Toller Urlaub bei Francesca
Wirklich schön! Wir haben uns bei Francesca sehr wohl gefühlt. Mit Google Maps haben wir das Ferienhaus sofort gefunden, natürlich ist es etwas abenteuerlich die engen Serpentinen hoch zum Weinberg. Dort angekommen begrüßte uns die Vermieterin und zeigte uns kurz das Haus. Für uns als relativ junge Familie kein Problem, die Zimmer liegen auf drei Etagen, das sollte man aber beachten! Unglaublich begeistert waren wir von dem tollen Abendessen das für uns am Anreisetag gezaubert wurde. Ein voll gedeckter gedeckter Tisch mit regionalen Köstlichkeiten wartete auf uns. Wir haben uns auch sehr angenehm und lustig mit Francesca und Familie unterhalten und sie hat uns auch viele Ausflugsziele genannt, die wir als Familie besuchen könnten. Der Garten, also mitten im Weinberg, ist toll gelegen und die Aussicht auf Forte dei marmi ist großartig! Ich hätte mir vielleicht noch einen vernünftigen Sonnenschutz auf der kleinen Terrasse gewünscht, ich denke aber darüber kann man hinwegsehen. Es ist alles da, was man braucht um einen wunderschönen Toskana Urlaub zu verbringen. Danke an Francesca für diese schöne Zeit!

Wir (Zwei Erwachsene und drei Kinder) waren 10 Tage zu Gast in dem tollen Haus in schönster Lage. Die Gastgeber haben uns am ersten Abend mit einem typischen italienischen Essen verwöhnt und wir durften den Wein aus eigenem Anbau probieren. Es war ein unvergesslicher Tag, baden im Pool, leckeres Essen, köstlicher Wein und tolle Gespräche. Francesca und Familie stehen einen immer mit gutem Rat zur Seite. In dem Ort unten am Berg haben wir das beste Eis gegessen und nebenan ist auch eine sehr gute Pizzeria, zu Fuß gut zu erreichen (ca.20 min).

The pool was great for the kids (and adults) in the warm Italian summer. Host and her family welcomed us with local foods and wine produced by their family, this was really a nice experience! House was clean, 3 floors, authentic Italian style equipped with all we needed. Towels for the pool, and for the shower. Toilet in first and third floor. Puzzles and games for the kids.

Zuhause auf Zeit mit Wohlfühlgarantie
Unsere herzliche Gastgeberin Francesca begrüßte uns - 2 Erw., 3 Jugendliche 14-17- schon mit einem begeisternden toskanischen Abendmahl und hatte auch für alle weiteren Fragen bzgl. Weinanbau, Unternehmungen, Radverleih, freie Strände, passende Auflaufform.. stets ein offenes, geduldiges Ohr. Sie wäre sogar zu einem unvorhergesehenen Trip zum nahe gelegenen Bahnhof in aller Herrgottsfrühe bereit gewesen. Das Haus fand bei allen Anklang, was sowohl an der heimeligen Einrichtung, der best ausgestatteten Küche und der allgemeinen Sauberkeit als auch am traumhaft gelegenen Pool mit Blick über Weinberge und Ebene bis hin zum Meer lag. Nur der enge, an Kurven und Steigung reiche Weg zum Anwesen ließ den Fahrer manchmal fluchen🙃, die Beifahrer beten, die Radfahrerin japsen. Die Umgebung hatte auch in großer Hitze für verschiedene Bedürfnisse viel zu bieten: Marktausflüge nach Pietrasanta, Viareggio und Forte dei Marmi, die Erkundung von Lucca, Wanderung in den Bergen zu Wasserfällen, die freilich im Juli22 eher Rinnsale ähneln, und natürlich zahlreiche Besuche des Strandes von Forte dei Marmi. Zu unserer Freude gibt es im Dorf nach 15 Minuten Fußmarsch einen hervorragenden Bäcker, Konditor, Metzger, die obligatorische Bar für den morgendlichen Espresso, eine gute Pizzeria und eine gelateria, der man bis Mitternacht einen Besuch abstatten kann. Wir endeten unseren Urlaub mit Francesca und Familie beim Volksfest und waren untröstlich, der Villa Giovanna schon wieder den Rücken kehren zu müssen.
