After visiting La Fragolina in May last year, we knew that we would be back ! It was our first taste of Tuscany, and what a memorable one - the house is sitated in a very quiet location, with great views. The courtyard was enchanting, and the special touches ( barbeque, planted herbs and comfortable loungers ), provided a welcome extension to the accommodation. We visited firstly in May, and achieved a long held ambition to visit the Uffizi Gallery. The journey to Florence by train was a fairly long one, but on our subsequent visit, in October, driving to Pisa and then catching the bus made for an easier trip. A closer place of historical interest is Lucca, which can be reached by catching a train from the nearby station. Try cycling around the city walls ! Within the house, everything was available to ensure a comfortable and carefree stay, even down to hats, shopping baskets and sticking plasters ! The owners had carefully considered all needs, and when we returned in October, the efficient woodburner was perfect for the more chilly evenings.The house was clean and welcoming, with comprehensive information readily available on all aspects of the locality, and comments in the visitor's book clearly endorsed the comments in this review. The description of the property was clear and precise, and the owners took pains to ensure that we would have a holiday to remember.
La Fragolina provides the perfect getaway, if you are looking for a peaceful but not too isolated holiday home. The local town of Fivizzano can be accessed by foot, and a short drive from Pognana, leads to spectacular mountain scenery and hidden away eating places. Without hesitation, we would recommend this property to friends, and, indeed, have already booked our 2008 slot at La Fragolina !
