Honestly, I can't imagine a better experience in Tuscany. My mother (90) has always wanted to get the whole family together for a vacation in Tuscany and this was the year.
This home filled everyone's expectations and is well-represented by the listing's pictures
It's beautiful, well-appointed country home with rustic elements ("scratched up houses", in the words of my 6-year-old nephew - ha).
The little ones were super happy with the pool (the big people, too).
The grounds are stunning and very much like a park with trails to stroll through, benches and chairs in various places around the property to sit and read, converse, nap, etc.
Everything works! The kitchen is terrific and well appointed for serious and fun meal preparation. The beds are comfortable!
The experience is very much that of borrowing the keys to an old friend's home and feeling right at home.
The area is terrific on its own and offers a good launchpad to local tourism and sightseeing - 20 minutes to Lucca, 30 minutes to the beach in Viareggio, 45 minutes to Pisa, good grocery stores about 10 minutes away.
The gardener came by in the mornings and looked after the property and pool. He was very friendly and helpful.
The restaurants in the area are terrific. The house has a bulletin board with all the business cards and hand-written notes of recommendation. The owner's special recommendation was voted by my family to be the best meal and experience they've ever had!

This is the perfect house for a large family get away to Tuscany. Perfect location to many major cities, towns and beaches. The house had everything we needed, including fans, and the kitchen was well stocked with tools to prepare meals. We really enjoyed the pool and admiring the gardens on the property. We would not hesitate to book again. Thank you Pierre and Marco for your hospitality!!

A Wonderful Place to Explore Tuscany from
A Wonderful Place to Explore Tuscany from
Beautiful and peaceful property. Lots of space inside and outside. Remote location which has great charm. You can visit popular places easily like Florence and Pisa. Seek out lesser known gems like cycling round Lucca or walking up the waterfalls in the hills. Montemagno has two wonderful restaurants 10 minutes drive away. So much to like about this area and the house is a great place to base your trip from. If you fancy, do nothing and enjoy the sunshine and tranquility by the pool.

Charming villa in an extremely remote setting
Charming villa in an extremely remote setting
On the plus side, the pool is wonderful, although quite a distance from the villa. The villa provides a very Tuscan experience - think 'Under the Tuscan Sun'. It is charming and quaint, although some may find it rather cluttered and lacking some mod cons we take for granted elsewhere in the world.
In August it can be very hot. Fans in all the bedrooms are a minimum requirement for comfort.
Some of the beds in the villa have very hard, old mattresses that can be considered uncomfortable by modern standards. The time it takes for hot water to reach the upstairs bathroom is also unreasonably long. This is something we were made aware of, but paying guests shouldn’t have to deal with this annoying quirk.
This is a large property and although well maintained, not everything is in perfect order. Guests staying in the little cottage should be aware that there is no closet into which you can unpack your clothes - fine for a short stay, difficult if you are there for over a week.
There are a lot of bugs and insects at the height of summer, including mosquitoes and horse flies that bite. You need to adequately prepare for these. We left several vape machines that the next guests can use, but they will need the vape mats from the Coop.
The main gate is operated by punching a code on the wall - you have to exit your vehicle, which is inconvenient. The gardener has a remote that operates the gate, I can’t imagine why guests are not afforded the same convenience.
Unknown to us the water in the small cottage alongside the house was off. The villa appears to have a complex water system and it was difficult to locate the water setup and figure out its operation in the dark. At the time, this was very irritating.
Guests are told to bring towels for both shower and pool. The house seems to have plenty of towels and we left some of our towels (I guess others have too).
For foreign guests it isn’t easy to arrange for house cleaning with someone who speaks no English. The owner did help make arrangements with a cleaner, however the outdated 'house manual' incorrectly stated we had to perform an exit cleaning. This meant we spent time negotiating an exit cleaning that had already been paid for.
Finally, the property is extremely remote and you should expect to have intermittent and slow internet connectivity and no mobile service. We were unable to locate the pub the owner said was 1 km away. The closest eating establishment we found was 3kms from the villa.
Beautiful country home in Tuscany with stunning grounds, well-appointed kitchen, comfortable beds, and great pool. Perfect for family vacations and exploring local attractions.

Ich und meine Familie haben eine Wunderbare Woche in Orbicciano verbracht. Das Haus ist sehr individuell und persönlich eingerichtet und erinnert in Teilen mehr an eine Kunstgalerie. Auf dem Grundstück sind überall kleine Sitzgelegenheiten verteilt von denen das Anwesen mit immer neuer Aussicht genossen werden kann. Ein Bett war leider sehr hart und auch ein wenig kurz für Personen über 1,70m. Allerdings gibt es sehr viele Ausweichmöglichkeiten. Vielen Dank für die wunderschöne, entspannte Woche. Wir kommen gerne jederzeit wieder.

Un coin de paradis. La situation est extraordinaire, appréciable tant sur le plan culturel que sportif. La villa est agréable, et pleine de charme pour rêvasser. C'est un lieu de vacances idéal pour tous, nous nous y sommes fort plus; les enfants étaient ravis. La grande piscine pour leurs jeux d'eau. Dès la sortie de la propriété, s'ouvre la porte des balades. La Toscane des Alpes apuanes nous a fait découvrir des merveilles. Impressionnant, je recommande ce lieu à tous.
Old and large farmhouse transformed in a very finely restored mansion in total respect of the Tuscan tradition. Beautiful garden, park and olive threes fields over 2Ha. Lovely pool in front of a scenic view. 5 bedrooms, three bath, lovely and super equipped kitchen, dining, living rooms, library. Close to the most cultural places of maritime Tuscany (Lucca 15km, Pise 45 km, Pietra Santa 12km, Florence 100km) and of the wite sand beaches of the Versilia, Cinque Terre, etc. Quetness and silence are absolute. Short distance from the lively habour for luxury yachts in Viareggio.
