Our family of four had a wonderful time at the property. It is situated in a quiet setting with spectacular views. The house was very clean and we were very impressed with the mid stay cleaning service. We travelled to Florence, Lucca, Pisa. San Gimignano, Volterra, Carrara(marble mountain) and visited a pasta factory within a castle at Lari. When not travelling the family enjoyed relaxing by the pool.
Fantastic villa

We very much enjoyed our stay. The house was roomy and comfortable. Loved the pool with its sweeping views of the countryside. Kitchen was quite functional. The house worked perfectly for two couples - with an extra bedroom to spare. The area is lovely. We cycled every day through the countryside. Suggested restaurants were very nice

Fantastic 10 days, but went by too quickly. Would like to have stayed for a month! Spent some days visiting the beautiful towns and cities including Bagni di Lucca, Castelnuovo, Barga, Lucca (our favourite), Pisa and Florence. The rest of the time was driving through the stunning mountain range, walking and relaxing by the most incredible pool. The house is perfect in every way – in an idyllic setting, sitting out eating breakfast and dinner looking at the indescribable view and glistening pool. Also, the villa seems to have everything from salt & pepper to after sun! We especially liked the Pavarotti CD track 1 being Nessun Dorma- reminding us of a beautiful evening we had a Puccini’s Turandot at the open air theatre by the lake (Torre del Largo- Saturday 14 July). Magical night! Thank you for sharing your wonderful home with us- a beautiful relaxing 10 days. Hope to return one day!

Villa Pineta, a Tuscan treasure. Such a lovely villa, quiet and secluded in the hills north of Lucca, a gem of a villa with a wonderful pool and surroundings and wonderful vista. The villa is a refurbished farmhouse, with superb tranquil gardens with an uninterrupted view of the countryside. The living accommodation is well equipped, and the bedrooms and bathrooms well appointed. The wonderful pool is a highlight and well maintained, with easy access roman steps, plenty of pool furniture and glorious shade from the fig trees when the sun gets too much. The villas other facilities including the lovely terrace with its comfortable seating, dining area and a barbecue, and a recent covered carport adds to a wonderfully peaceful and enjoyable stay. The owners recommendations for places to enjoy evening meals and drinks are were well justified. The house keeping was well done and efficient but never intrusive. We would happily recommend a visit to Villa Pineta, a true 5 star enjoyable experience, we shall return.
For international flights, the region is easily reachable by flying into Pisa (60 mins) or Florence (75 mins) drive to the Villa by car. The nearest train station is only 2.5KM.

The Villa is a short distance uphill from the local town of Ghivizzano (1.8KM), on the windy road leading up to Lucignana. The village is delightful with many ancient buildings and points of interest. Seen from the main road from Lucca this quant village looks imposing with its castle walls and clock tower.
There are supermarkets, home-stores, pharmacies and many restaurants close-by. Also close by is the famous town of Barga situated at the top of a hill, with its medieval pathways inside the walls offering great delicious restaurants and bars.
The town of Bagni di Lucca is only a 15 minute drive.

The baths are still open today and are wonderful for a relaxing spa day. The area also offers exciting rafting and outdoor activities, with many local companies offering fun days out for adventure seekers.
