About this property

Romantic Stone Cottage With Private Gated Pool In Riverside Location .

Filled with original features including beamed ceilings, traditional flooring, lintels over windows, original stone staircases and flagstone courtyard, this 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom property, sleeping 8 plus 1, has been recently renovated using traditional, and where possible the original materials to create just the right ambience, for a different holiday!

Situated in perfect peace next to a trout stream this private cottage is ideal for those seeking a truly different holiday. Whilst there is a private pool, there is also the river which is a great adventure for children to play in if they bring their wellies/jellies.

The grounds are perfect for secluded picnics, with just the sounds of the river . T is extremely difficult to gain permission for a pool beside such an historic building, and in a riverside location so this property is quite unique..

This is a perfect choice for a totally ‘alternative’ holiday, staying away from it all in authentic, but comfortable accommodation, beside the river, and with great opportunity for walking. This would be a wonderful family holiday, and we imagine it would be impossible to tear children away from all this outdoor experience!

Perfect Holiday
We absolutely loved our stay at this stunning traditional property. The house itself was immaculate and well equipped with everything you might need. Marco was a great host despite the language barrier and really wanted us to enjoy our stay. The pizza’s at Marco’s restaurant we excellent. The pool is a great size and our 3 boys loved the fact that it was saline water and not chlorinated. The only downside to this property is the access if you are a bit unsteady on your feet. The path from the village is very steep and slippery when wet. My elderly mum was with us and she definitely would not have gone up and down it. The river road is very bumpy but with careful driving nothing you won’t manage, so don’t let this put you off.

Lovely property
Fantastic property in lovely setting. River road access is a bit off road but fine once we were used to it. Marco was a very welcoming host and brought us excellent free pizzas on the first night. Good rail service to Lucca and Pisa made exploring easy. We had a great week

One of the best properties we have have stayed in for many years.
A beautiful house in a beautiful location, the owners of the property, Marco and Claudio, were the perfect hosts, very friendly and helpful. We genuinely did not want to leave for home and would loved to have stayed a few more days. The house, pool and gardens were amazing, the local area had so much to offer and the views were fantastic. The Pizzeria that Marco and Claudio owned was very nice and there pizzas i would say were the best in the area based on the amount of locals coming in for takeaways. Definitely worth another stay in the very near future.

Lovely Villa in stunning location
Beautiful villa in a stunning location up in the mountains. The pool area looks out across the valley and has lots of room around it for the kids. The villa has everything you would need for a highly enjoyable holiday. This was our first time in Northern Tuscany and were taken back by the dramatic landscapes. The kids loved the river at the bottom of the property, daily fishing trips and damp building at sun down time. Marco could not have been more hospitable, even making sure we had pizzas on arrival!
