Further details for this holiday rental in Fosciandora, Italy

The Site: This site of vineyards & olive trees is set in a magnificent position with stunning views at every turn - hill top villages, the river & valley below, mountains, fields. Each apartment has a private eating area & BBQ for privacy. The pool (12M x 5 M with internal seating steps) with its many sunbeds is situated above the house, and there is also a large flat open grass area surrounded by mountains ideal for picnics or for playing outdoor games....Wildlife abounds - birds of prey, deer, pheasant etc. In the Spring, watch the fireflies dancing in the dark.... We are available for anything you may need - we live up the hill.

Other services: We can arrange to get bread for you in the mornings. We also have the privileged access to a local wood burning oven chef, who can come and make you home made pizzas in the outdoor oven and other traditional local dishes cooked in the wood oven too. He will also prepare home made pasta dishes and so forth but will need temporary access to your kitchen to do so. A really fun evening, with no need to drive! Or, why not try a meal by a Cordon Bleu trained cook? With notice we can arrange for food to be brought from local restaurant too.

Location: The site is beautifully located in the hills, with the closest villages 1km and 1.5km respectively. A 5 minute drive will take you to a bar/shop/pharmacy/post office etc. Claudio at our closest restaurant can arrange for food to be brought up for you too! For a good choice of restaurants, Castelnuovo with its many shops, bars, restaurants, and famous Thursday morning market is a 15 minute drive, and the medieval market town of Barga is 20 mins or so away, again with a good choice of restaurants and bars.

Review of Laura, Lower Apartment, Garfagnana

Lilia and John Coulonge sur Charente, France
Review Submitted: June 17, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
First and foremost the apartment is everything and more than the description claims it to be.

Its a very tasteful combination of traditional/rural on the outside and modern, very clean and comfortable on the inside. Its equipt with all the facilities for easy living and a fair sized, well kept pool to relax or throw your kids around in.

This was the first time we rented an apartment because we have always been apprehensive of noise, but we found what little noise there was didnt bother us at all.

We felt fully relaxed with our 2.5 and 5 year old boys pottering around the terrassed grassed areas. The pool is fenced off and secured with a gate which our rather ingenious 5 year old had trouble with (this may not be intensional but usefull).

Lorraine and Fabrizio also organised toys for our boys which they seriously appreciated. From day one Fabrizio put us at ease with 'there are no real rules, and not to be scared to ask for anything' which was a automatic stress relief in itself when your on holidays with hyper curious kids.

The house book we found very usefull. Tips on suggested days out, how to get there and the good eating is obviously from experience gained and well worth using.

Overall the holiday was excellent and I would certainly recommend it to friends and colleagues.

Perfect name Tuscan retreat!

Katesurrey Surrey
Review Submitted: June 11, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
Beautiful! Home from home. Very clean and spacious. Beautiful area and amazing views. Owners live locally and are very helpful and welcoming! Would definely recommend to others!
Only down side Is you have to drive every where restaurants etc are 20mins at least away. Bit too far to walk.
But otherwise everything else was lovely
Owner's Response: Glad guests enjoyed the house! For future guests, do note we have a good restaurant less than a 10 min drive away with English speaking chef. Also, for nights where one doesnt wish to drive we can arrange local ladies to come and cook traditional meals, or pizza in our wood burning oven. For a special occasion we also have access to a Cordon Bleu trained chef. Best to book these services in advance!

Simply perfect

Waow Dundee, Tayside, Scotland
Review Submitted: April 22, 2008 Date of Stay: September 2007
The winding roads that lead to this hilltop retreat are not for the faint hearted, but once you arrive, you'll never want to leave. The accomodation is excellent with spacious entertainment areas, good sized rooms and very clean. The property has plentiful land flourishing with grapes and fruit trees. The pool area which is elevated from the property has stunning views over the surrounding areas, it has comfortable loungers for lazing, and a good sized pool which was cleaned regularly.
Adventuring back down the hill you are only a short drive from several places of interest, small towns and the supermarket.
The owners are fantastic, vey helpful and accomodating people with good knowledge of the area.
Having been and returned several times we have no hesitation at all in recommending a holiday here!

Excellent place to stay

Pips Co. Durham, England
Review Submitted: March 29, 2008 Date of Stay: October 2007
The apartment was beautiful and the setting and scenery took your breath away (as long as the rain clouds didn't block it!).
There were 5 of us including 2 small children and my Mum and there was plenty of room for all.
We didn't get good weather in October but everything else was great. The standard of accommodation was excellent, the hosts were extremely helpful, there if you needed them (with extra toys in our case for rainy days) but not invading your holiday. Didn't get to use the pool owing to the change in weather as we arrived.
You would definately need a car as it took at least 10 -15 mins drive from the main road. The road was a little hairy at times but not a problem. Tight turn into the drive until you got used to it.
Lots to see locally.
Would definitely recommend to friends and family and hope to return at some point in the future.
Owner's Response: Unfortunately October weather can be poor, but it can also be incredibly warm too - let's hope 2008 is a good one!
