We spent 2 weeks celebrating my birthday with friends and family at their beautiful villa in the friendly village of Pieve Fosciana. Flaviano is a chef and he prepared several meals for us that were absolutely delicious, using ingredients all from within 1km of the property. We were able to pick ingredients from the garden when we cooked for ourselves. The view from the windows and rooftop terraces are breathtaking. The area is magnificent for exploring numerous small villages and doing walks. There are a couple of nice local restaurants you can reach on foot and many more within 5 minutes drive. Luca makes a wonderful day trip! Thank you Flaviano and family for making my significant birthday celebration very special. ##### Juliet M.

Sep 13, 2018 #### A unique and wonderful villa for a large group The location is great, it’s a five minute walk into the small town of Pieve Fosciana with shops and restaurants and there is a lovely little dairy just across the road for fresh milk. It is a lovely area for walking and also easy to travel to Lucca, Pisa and the surrounding villages. The villa and grounds are beautiful and the separate apartments were ideal for our large group as each family could have some privacy but we could also enjoy eating and spending time together. Our host was very helpful throughout the holiday and we greatly enjoyed the pizza and pasta making. We had two meals prepared by our host which were excellent and we felt as if we were in a restaurant without having to leave the villa! The lovely swimming pool is looked after very well and there is plenty of room for everyone to enjoy relaxing in the sunshine in this lovely villa. ##### Susan U. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Magnus L.

With 17 people we had more than enough room and amenities. The large indoor eating area is situated in the managers house so if the weather doesn't allow outdoor eating and you wish to eat together you have to ask the manager. The village is cosy and have cafés, ice cream place, bakers, atm's, food stores, butchers and more, so all you need really. The roads to the village are quite small and winding over the hills if you come from Modena or Aulla, so pills for car sickness can be good for kids. The manager and his family are super friendly and helpful, and threw us a pizza party with top notch pizzas. All in all an amazing week! ##### Magnus L.

We spent a week with 15 of us and had a fabulous time. The pool was wonderful, the host amazing (we loved his dinner parties). Nothing was too much trouble, even music and danced for us. Apartments/Villas were nice, traditional and had what we needed. Could have done with some fans as it was SO hot, I brought one myself for our room as the heat was unbearable. Wonderful to be able to walk into the town in 5 minutes for coffees, ice creams and cakes. Also a restaurant there if you want a meal out which we did several times. Supermarkets a short drive away. We would definitely return to this fabulous place and probably will! Thanks for your hospitality and sorry for writing this review so late. ##### Louise W.

Aug 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect family holiday I booked this property to celebrate my 70rh birthday with my children and grandchildren, it was exactly what I’d hoped for, panoramic views of mountains and forest from our balcony, outside dining areas with long tables to accommodate all of us, plenty of open space and a beautiful pool so the children were very happy but also individual apartments with all facilities for each family to have some privacy. Flaviano and his family were wonderful hosts, his pizza night was so much fun with traditional toppings from various regions, and ending wth a Nutella and Smartie pizza with which the children were delighted! The accommodation itself was very traditional in style and spotlessly clean with more than adequate utensils and equipment for self catering. The village was by no means touristy, it had two supermarkets In walking distance as well as a lovely butcher and various other shops and a couple of small bars. There was a very nice restaurant in the village which we went to twice, Flaviano lit the bbq for us one evening and we cooked meats from the butchers, but had we known how good his pizza night was going to be we would have booked his Tuscan meal too…highly recommended! We would have no qualms about booking this again, it was perfect! ##### Gillian F. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jill W. Oct 6, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful experience! We were 12 adults gathering for a retirement celebration. The villas is divided into 5 separate apartments, which worked great for our group. Privacy when needed but plenty of together time too. I can't say enough about Flaviano, the host. He was so kind and accommodating, not to mention an incredible baker, who randomly showed up with delicious fresh baked breads, rolls, and pizzas for everyone to enjoy when we were gathered in the Taverna. He also made us a fire in the fireplace on several nights for all to enjoy. Flaviano made this a memorable and wonderful experience. I highly recommend staying here. The small village of Pieve Fosciana is quaint and has all the basics and the neighboring town of Castelnuovo di Garfagnana has a train station and plenty of shops and restaurants too. It is helpful to have a car for exploring. We enjoyed a cooking class in Lucca and a truffle hunt in San Miniato and a few wineries in the area as well. The people were so friendly and helpful. If you want to feel like you are experiencing Italy and out of a tourist destination, this is the place to be! ##### Jill W.

Great value! My wife and I had long fantasized about booking a villa in Tuscany and bringing our whole family for a gathering. This place was beyond our wildest dreams. The listing was a little inaccurate in that there was more space than advertised. We had as many as 25 family and friends there at one time and never felt crowded with five separate apartments and 11 bedrooms. We wanted ambiance of a time gone by and this place delivered. Flaviano, the host, has put so much style and love into this place. He was super helpful, always friendly, and very responsive when there was a problem. The grounds were impeccable, the pool sparkling clean and the large lawn was perfect for our kids and grandkids. The location was perfect with a short walk to shops, gelato, a pizzeria and a world class restaurant. We loved the outdoor dining table that was big enough for our group. The taverna was a good hangout and place for us to dine on a few cool nights. Flaviano threw a pizza party for us and we had to force him to stop making pizzas. The only negative for us was the lack of good quality kitchen utensils as most of the family love to cook. Otherwise, a great place for a large group to stay. We loved the fact that Pieve is relatively untouristed and we were the only tourists in town. I can not recommend this place highly enough. Thank you Flaviano and Tuscan Retreats. ##### Richard M.

We loved the look and feel of the entire Villa. Everything from the grounds, to the pool, 5 separate apartments was spectacular. We were 4 families traveling together. We knew there were separate apartments and we would have enough space but we were pleasantly surprised at just how much extra space there was. Each family had their own space and there was an apartment to spare for the kids to take over. The pool area was our favorite spot. The saltwater pool was always clean and cared for and the amount of lounge chairs and umbrellas were plenty. The outdoor seating area and the wood fired grill was an extra bonus. Some of our favorite times was sitting around the table as a group having fabulous meals. Last, but certainly not least, the host, Flaviano, was a perfect host. He lives next door and has found the perfect balance of being available when needed and respecting space when wanted. He and his family were warm and welcoming. Typically, when staying in home rentals, you never see the host. This can be the case if you want but having him close by to answer questions was helpful. Flaviano is also an amazing cook. We opted to have the pizza dinner and the 4 course meal. This should not be missed. Both meals were served in his restaurant that is on his property. We all agreed that this stay was the best part of our vacation. We traveled for 3 weeks. Thank you Flaviano and Family. ##### Stefani T. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Irene H.

Buitenkeuken was rommel zooi en niet toegankelijk net als de binnenbar waar je zou kunnen zitten . Wordt wel in advertentie neergezet . Verder prima appartementen met goede bedden en voldoende ruimte . Prachtige omgeving en je loopt zo het dorp in voor brood , espressootje enz . Il Pozzo is een goed restaurant .Verder is zwembad ok maar putdeksel vergaan en bijna been gebroken met erin vallen … jammert ##### Bert S.

Der Pool ist großartig und das Grundstück sehr gemütlich. Die kleinen Wohnungen haben Privatsphäre gegeben, und wir hatten auch Platz, um gemeinsam zu frühstücken oder auch zu kochen. Wir hatten uns zweimal von Flaviano und seinem Team bekochen lassen , es war sehr schön und lecker! Auswärts konnten wir aber auch sehr gut essen. Alle waren sehr nett. Flaviano war äußerst hilfsbereit und gut erreichbar. Es sind viele hübsche Ortschaften und Ausflugsziele in der Umgebung. Ein perfekter Ort für eine Familienzusammenkunft, sehr zu empfehlen! ##### Anita S. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Annieke V.

De gastheer ontving ons hartelijk met vers gebakken foccaccia's! Iedereen had een eigen appartementje en toch konden we ook samen koken en eten in de heerlijke zaal beneden. De pizza-avond was een groot succes en ook de lekkerste pizza's die we ooit gegeten hebben. Echt een tophuis als je met meerdere gezinnen gaat. ##### Annieke V.

Lovely villa in a small town, with many possibilities to visit the surrounding mountains and national parks. The villa is separated into different apartments, which is extremely useful for families or groups that sometimes want to withdraw to their own apartment. Owner was also really helpful and made our holiday even better. Would certainly recommend! ##### Maurice K.
