About this property

Mountain cottage with great views in friendly village with restaurant.

The cottage lies at one end of the village about a 3-minute walk from the main piazza with its car park and Marina's restaurant. The cottage is part of the mountain; the first floor has an entrance with a traditional Italian arched double door leading into the lounge where there is a great stone fireplace with a large wood-fired stove. This leads to the modern pine wood kitchen with its dresser, dishwasher, hob and large round dining table that seats six. The stairs lead up to two bedrooms, one twin bedded with an en suite bathroom and one with a queen-size four-poster bed. A few more steps up lead to the upper lobby with the larger bathroom off it and a side door to the garden; the stairs go up to the final double bedroom all with tiled floors and timbered ceilings. The property is surrounded by a terraced garden with grapevines and a brick-built barbecue. You can relax and sit under the shade of the fig tree with wonderful views over the valley to the surrounding hilltop villages and mountains.

A view and location to die for
Casoli is absolutely stunning, friendly and fabulous. The view from this house is amazing. And Alan and Jo were very helpful hosts!

The most beautiful view in Tuscany
Casa fico is everything at the pictures described... The view from the Terrace is stunning. Many meals were eaten under the shade of the fig tree admiring the mountains. The village itself is charming, the locals friendly and it is easy to explore some mountain trails. Nervous drivers be aware of the narrow mountain road to Casoli - but if a 40+ Mum and her teens can do it at midnight in an unfamiliar hire care then so can you! The coastline of the cinque terre is well worth a visit as is the town of Lucca. For the adventurous - go Zip lining, climbing or paddling at canyon park just down the mountain from Casoli in the next village - the views of the crystal blue water are like no other. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this charming, well equipped Tuscan house. Alan & Jo should be proud :-)

Truly gorgeous authentic Tuscan villa with outstanding views in an amazing location.
It was our first Italian excursion and booking accommodation was a lottery but we struck lucky with this. In a perfect location for days out in Florence, Pisa and the extraordinary Lucca, this beautiful mountain top home was ideal for our family holiday. The village of Casoli is tranquil and relaxed. Marina's bar and restaurant in the old school house in the centre of the village provides excellent food and wines in rustic surroundings and a chance to interact with locals and other vacationers. Everything you need, food, wines, restaurants, supermarkets are all available in the nearby town of Bagni di Lucca. One word of warning, this mountainside property is not for small children who want to run free as there are some steep drops. Also, no wifi which is a blessing but would have been useful for maps, local searches and check-ins. Marina's has wifi but its not great. Outstanding.

Can't wait to go again!
This lovely house was ideal for us as it had everything we needed with 3 teenagers in tow. The views were amazing, the facilities just what we needed (2 bathrooms!!!) and everything clean and comfortable without feeling like a hotel. The locals were very patient with our attempts at Italian and the local bar had some great rustic Italian food and wine on offer. At the bottom of the winding road up to the village is an idealic spot for swimming in the river, which we went to almost every day as the weather in August is hot, hot, hot! The house was lovely and cool in contrast and we slept well. Local town of Bagni di Lucca was charming and provided gelataria and supermarkets for supplies. Lucca itself was lovely and we did the tourist thing of hiring bikes and cycling around the walled town - well worth a visit. Pisa is not too far and Florence also doable for a day visit. All in all we would love to go back again when maybe our Italian will be better!

Absolutely stunning and picturesque
Brilliant house at a gorgeous location up on the mountain in Northwest Tuscany. What more could one ask for? Alan and Jo have been superb in everything. They have given us so helpful overall and the house made us want to go back again as soon as possible. It was exactly what we wanted. Sitting in the garden with THAT view is purely breathtaking. Would definitely recommend it.

About the host

Hosted by Alan or Jo

Host profile image
I am Alan, the one in black in the photo, having a meal at Marina's Restaurant in the village with Stefano, one of our neighbours, next to me. Jo is taking the photo. It's winter so we are indoors. We are both health professionals who grew up, work and live in London. We would love to live in Casoli, however, our work doesn't allow this.

Why they chose this property

It took us nearly 3 years to find this house, during which we saw and were offered crumbling farmhouse ruins, modern townhouses and everything in between. When we saw this house we both knew this was it. As for this area Lucca, it's a special place made so by the kind, friendly and helpful people.

What makes this property unique

The view from under the fig tree across the river valley is stunning, the villages of Limano and Vico Pantollorem are iconic landmarks, telling you can be only in one place, Italy.
