We were a group of five friends (30+) and stayed for 11 days in the beautiful Casa Natalina. What I guess is important to mention: There were two more vacation homes in another part of the building but they have their own pools and the garden is not observably so you have lots of privacy when relaxing in there. There are quite some small restaurants in the area with very delicious food for a low price but you definitely need a car to go there and you shouldn't be afraid of very narrow winding streets. The house itself was beautiful. It had its own nostalgic charme as it was very old (I guess it might be much more than 100 years) but accurately renovated with all amenities of the present time and lovely decorated. And the location was just gorgeous!!!! The big beautiful garden had a huge well serviced pool with a stunning, breathtaking view into the valley and towards the mountains and small villages opposite. It was much nicer than shown on the pictures!!!!! We had a really great time in Villa Natalina and can highly recommend it to everyone;)

We had a great week in Casa Natalina in Villa Collemandina. There were four of us including our two teenage boys who were thrilled that the wifi was reliable and fast. The house itself is the end of a small terrace of three properties but we didn't hear a thing through the walls or from the other neighbours. It's an old villa with stone floors and staircases inside (no creaky floorboards!) and the kitchen had everything you need to cook a decent meal. The welcome basket was excellent and there was enough gorgeous wine in the flagon to pickle anyone's liver! We were slightly unlucky with the weather as the hot spell broke the day after we arrived and we had a couple of days of thundery rain (torrential on the first day of it) but it warmed up a bit by the Wednesday, although cooler than it was in the UK and a lot windier. The views over the mountains are amazing and the pool is huge and quite warm. It was also nice that it was salt water rather than chlorinated. It's about a half hour walk to the local shop, which is more of an Arkwright's Open All Hours type of thing, but there are bigger supermarkets in Castelnuovo di Garfagnana, which is only about 15 minutes' drive away. We had good takeaway pizza from the little trattoria in Villa Collemandina as they do pizzas on Saturday and Sunday nights. You can also get takeaway pizza from the trattoria in Corfino, which is the second of the two villages you come to if you go over the bridge you can see from the villa (but we didn't try it as we'd already had pizza twice by then!). Corfino also had good local bread, honey and cheeses. We tended to avoid eating out much because of Covid19 but there were lots of restaurants in Castelnuovo di Garfagnana had we wanted them. I'd definitely recommend a stay in Casa Natalina. Friends of Tuscany were great with all the communication too.

Tutto perfetto tranne le mosche...

Tutto perfetto e in linea con le aspettative. Unica nota negativa le mosche in zona piscina che abboccano, ma il resto è in campagna e non sempre erano presenti, solo all'imbrunire. Non so se un controllo dei parassiti può aiutare, ma ancora niente di ingestibile.

Perfetto

Just as described, a perfect tranquil spot with the most incredible views. The property was very well equipped and had everything me and my grown up family needed for a relaxing holiday. This included lots of lovely details such as flowers around the house, a generous welcome basket and enough local wine to sink a battle ship. Even though the weather was mixed there was still plenty to do and lots to see in the local area including walking, sightseeing and restaurants. We managed a couple of days by the pool and had one perfect evening making home made pizza and cooking it in the outdoor wood fired oven. Finally a word on the hosts, responsive, communicative and extremely helpful - not only responded the following day to a minor repair needed, but helped with us finding a wine tasting experience. What more could anyone need. Highly recommended!

Living in a coastal Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the UK, we usually gravitate towards the sea for holidays, and are probably tough customers to satisfy, scenery-wise. As our first venture into an inland ( for us..!) venue, and Italy, Casa Natalina did not disappoint. A lovely, down-to-earth villa, we had everything needed to allow us to enjoy our week in comfort, and with all the facilities we have at home for day to day living. There were huge amounts of outdoor space available - photos understandably emphasise the pool and balcony areas, but there is also a lot of amazing wildflower meadow and many fruit trees. The Garfagnana is spectacular, densely wooded mountains soaring up to the sky all around..Nights around a wood fired barbecue admiring the view were followed by amply supplied games and wine around the big indoor fireplace. Yes, it's around 2 hours from Florence etc but... Arriving late at night, it seemed to take a long time to negotiate the winding roads which access Casa Natalina. Then we had to stop, to allow a porcupine to cross the road, At this point it all began to make sense...

We just had a week at Casa Natalia - my wife, me and our two teenage boys. It's a really nice old house, in a little collection of houses, really well furnished with a lot of charm, in an absolutely stunning location. There are incredible mountain views all round and the excellent new pool helped us enjoy the heatwave! Andrew from Friends of Tuscany, was very helpful, the local area is beautiful, the local food is great, this really has been one of the best places we have visited anywhere in the world - it's peaceful, incredibly beautiful and very well maintained and set up. First class!

Photos don't do the view justice!

The panorama from the house is stunning. The pool is lovely and we wished we were staying longer. Lots of hillside villages and pleasant walks and not too far from places like Florence or Lucca for a day trip.

We had a lovely stay celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary, the villa was great with everything we needed and the lovely new pool, the views stunning. We visited lots of local villages and enjoyed some superb walks. We followed the advice and recommendations provided by friends of Tuscany and appreciated all your guidance. Wish we could rewind and enjoy it all again!, we will just have to come back someday. Thank you Andrew and Susan for making our special holiday unforgettable.

Case Natalina was a lovely house, a little quirky in its layout and we all kept going to the downstairs bathroom instead of the stairs which became a family joke. The new pool is a triumph, Remo and Massimo keep it looked after and were very thoughtful in not hammering fencing when the baby was asleep. The situation is so beautiful that we hardly went out, just essential shopping and a trip to Corrine across the valley where we had a fabulous view of the house. It was a little disappointing that we couldn't walk to a restaurant but that in no way diminished our enjoyment of a truly great holiday. We did go to Luca on our way home which is a super place. One tip though, leave the car outside the walls! All in all a great holiday and we hope to return.

Bliss!

Susan and Andy 'Friends of Tuscany' are the perfect hosts of their charming house in the most perfect location. Their experience as travelers as well as hosts means that everything has been thought of leaving you free to relax, explore and enjoy this most beautiful area. I have been visiting the Garfagnana for several years and each year the area unveils a new treasure while I also delight in the familiar. Best bit, picking fresh figs for breakfast after a morning dip in the pool, worst bit, leaving.

Casa Natalina is outstanding .. a sympatheticaly restored property with everything you need.

We booked this villa for a week in June. The owners kindly left is a welcome package including wine, pasta, bread and milk :-) wonderful surprise especially as we arrived late with two hungry little ones. It's beautifully finished, rustic but high quality. The grounds are spacious and perfect for kids to run around and explore. The pool is big and clean and a lovely temperature. the location is unbeatable and the views are to die for. Andy from friends of Tuscany helped us out so much. I have no hesitation in recommending him or his company and the properties they represent. We also rented another property from them, both unbeatable. Excellent.

We really liked our two-week stay at Casa Natalina. The house is situated in a quiet environment, and you really live in Italy without seeing tourists every day. The swimming pool is cleaned twice a week, and has beautifull views. Our children (7 and 10) loved picking and eating figs in the garden. WiFi was fast and reliable, so you can be online and connected to the world if you like. The TV had about 70 channels, although all in Italian, but we did not miss watching TV at all. We all slept very well in the good and clean beds. The owner provides the house with a lot of towels, so there is no need to bring your own. The house is large enough for 6 people (we were 4). The weather in July 2012 was excellent to swim each day for many hours.

The house is situated off the rural road to the village of Pianacci at the end of a lane shared with two other houses. There is a well stocked shop only 10 minutes walk away as well as a little sports cafe/bar at the local playing fields. Further towards the village of Villa Collemandina is an excellent restaurant that serves traditionally cooked meals. The restaurant also sides as a butchers and customers can ask the owners to BBQ their meat for them.

Castelnuovo, the nearby market town, has many restaurants, cafes, bars, supermarkets and all other types of shops. There is a tourist information office and a weekly market selling a wide variety of fashion, household goods, flowers, fruit and vegetables.
