This is an incredible home nestled in a picturesque mountain village with fantastic panoramic views. Alessandro is a gracious host who did everything possible to ensure we had a pleasant stay. My time in Caraggine was without a doubt the highlight of my trip, and I hope to return in the future.

Sandro e Patrizia ma anche il figlio Marco nonostante l'abbiamo frequentato di meno, ci hanno fatto sentire coma a casa, una bella casa, tutta in legno quindi calda ma fresca allo stesso tempo, tranquilla perché vicina al bosco ma a poche centinaia di metri dal centro abitato, con i servizi e il nuovo parco giochi, con una vista incantata sulle Alpi Apuane e sul meraviglioso borgo di Careggine. A presto, torneremo molto volentieri, anche nelle altre stagioni, non ultimo in Inverno sperando che nevichi, in fondo le piste di Careggine a Vianova sono a soli 5 minuti. A proposito nella descrizione della zona sciistica correggerei le inesattezze presenti, stante che la sciovia in Loc. La Formica è da considerarsi ormai non più utilizzabile e destinata a smaltimento. Correggerei quindi da quanto riportato ora ovvero "Tre le zone sciistiche: in località Formica 2 skilift servono 2 piste per lo sci alpino di circa 700 m e 5 km per il fondo. La gestione degli impianti è affidata all'albergo vicino," La Genzianella". A Vianova un campo scuola di 750 m. A Monte La Cima si trovano 3 piste per 3 km. Tre sciovie in tutto servono le piste da sci di Careggine, ideali per i principianti o per gli sciatori meno esperti che desiderano semplicemente sciare in totale relax." a "A Vianova, frazione di Careggine, distante pochi minuti d'auto dal capoluogo, 2 skilift servono un campo scuola e 3 piste per complessivi 5 km di discese. Il comprensorio, recentemente coperto da innevamento artificiale e adeguato a tutti gli standard di sicurezza attuali, si presta in particolare alla pratica per i principianti, le famiglie con bambini e comunque per gli sciatori esperti che desiderano semplicemente sciare in totale relax, in un ambientazione unica come quella delle Alpi Apuane. Sempre in Località Vianova è possibile praticare le ciaspole e lo sci di fondo, presso gli impianti c'è la disponibilità di noleggiare le relative attrezzature. "

Abbiamo soggiornato allo chalet nel mese di agosto. Ottima accoglienza, disponibilità, premura e gentilezza. Alessandro e Patrizia ci hanno coinvolti da subito nella loro quotidianità pur restando sempre discreti. Avevamo anche un cane, Ringo, che subito si è trovato a suo agio. Una posizione eccezionale: a due passi dal paese e a due passi da un ampio prato dove Ringo poteva correre e giocare; senza dimenticare la vicinanza ai borghi incantevoli della Garfagnana! Quindi un immenso GRAZIE alla Famiglia Massara, ci rivedremo!!!!!

You won't regret staying here. It's a wonderful refuge from busy areas in the Summer. The view of the mountains from the house is amazing and Alessandro and his family couldn't have been more lovely. We could have stayed forever and look forward to coming back.

Posto e vista molto belli, chalet dotato di tutti i comfort. Proprietari gentilissimi e disponibili. Consigliato!

La posizione e l'alloggio garantiscono un soggiorno in relax.

Lo chalet e inserito in un bellissimo contesto tra verde, montagne e a due passi dal centro del paese. La casa e ampia, accogliente e fornita di tutti i servizi. Il titolare molto cordiale e disponibile. L'esperienza e stata molto positiva.

Un piacevole soggiorno con Ottima accoglienza proprietari gentilissimi posto incantevole da raccomandare

La casa di Pascalle è molto bella grazie alla location molto suggestiva è piena di natura

Thank you very much, Pascalle. We had a really nice time with a nice room a nice host a stunning hike and a great breakfast. The condition of the room is superb. The landscape is really good for hiking fans. Plus you find an authentic non touristic Italian place. I would definitely come back. Best wishes frieder

Pascalle was a wonderful host and made us feel very welcome. The village is lovely and the local restaurant served up delicious pasta and pizza! We enjoyed our yummy breakfasts in the garden with a view of the amazing scenery and would love to go back one day. Thanks again!

Accommodation clean and the people of Sotta are very nice people

house in a beautiful area. Very comfortable and clean

We had a very welcoming host up there in the Toscana mountains. All necesssary information related to our arrival with clean indications on roads, highway exits and wood paths was communicated beforehand, helpful family friendly hints followed. We spent enjoyable two weeks in the lovely house in th heart of the Alpe Apuani. Wonderful nature, good comfortable, up to a city-apartment-standards equipped house, spacious, shadowy and cool in the summer heat. Great kids amusement games and generous vegetable garden offers for the guests. thanks a lot Janneke! Rudolf and Tzvetina

Non ho incontrato Anne Mare di persona, ma la Sg.ra Alida che è stata molto gentile nel farci fare il check in e check out, il tutto molto flessibile! La casa è molto carina, ed è perfetta per una coppia con 4 figli. Il letto matrimoniale al piano interrato è in realtà un letto alla francese quindi va considerato nel momento di affittarla per più di 6 persone, al massimo ci stanno 7 (o 8 se sono due ragazzini). Per il resto tutto carino e casa full accessoriata. NOTA: Il bagno più grande (vasca con doccino) è quello nel seminterrato, quindi non ideal per chi ha problemi di deambulazione. Per il resto tutto molto carino!!

This place is just awesome, if you are looking for a quiet, retro home! For me and my friends this location was the perfect choice! Everything looks exactly as it can be seen on the photos.

Bellissimo posto e gentilissimo gli ospiti... un'esperienza da rivivere!

Casa carinissima, disposta su due piani di cui il primo appena ristrutturato. In generale casa pulita, grande e spaziosa. Ha una bella terrazza abitabile con vista sulla Garfagnana, ideale per bimbi e per godere di un po' di tranquillità. Simonetta, e la sua famiglia sempre molto gentile e disponibile, ci ha fatto trovare all'arrivo frutta fresca e pane fatto in casa! Da consigliare!!

Perfetto sotto ogni aspetto, accoglienza, attenzione, comodità e relax. La casa è accogliente e funzionale, abbiamo viaggiato con bimbo e cane in 4 adulti e ci sarebbe stata in altra camera disponibile. Simonetta ci ha fatto trovare in casa dell'ottimo pane fatto da lei, biscotti per fare colazione e molte cose che solitamente gli altri host non prendono in considerazione. Il fresco della casa ci ha fatto tirare un sospiro di sollievo in pieno agosto. Il paese di careggine è piccolo ed accogliente, adatto per camminate e relax. Abbiamo trovato ottime feste e sagre nei dintorni e nel paese stesso.

Valentina was a very good host. Easy to communicate with and always nice and easy to get hold of. The house is fantastic and has all the amenities you could wish for. We stayed here in August and it was very hot outside, but inside the house, because it is a stone house it was cool and nice. The pool is amazing and the views are breathtaking. The location is perfect if you have a car to get around the area. Otherwise, you can walk around the lake to see amazing places. I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants to have an experience for life. Thank you Valentina and Maria!

We had a wonderful stay in a beautiful location. This property is ideal if your looking to get away from city life, the surroundings are tranquil and truly beautiful. You will need a car to access local shops and restaurants.

Wirklich toll für Menschen die die Natur lieben.

Très bon accueil par maria. Échanges très rapides et fluides avec valentina. Endroit très paisible et agreable

I can recommend this house to everybody who wants to relax and chill. Wonderful place! Everything was very clean. Valentina and Maria do all their best to make your holidays perfect! Thank you

The Sweet Life over the lake is the most idyllic place and every bit as beautiful as shown in the picture. The house was clean and tidy and had everything we could have wanted. It is certainly a place to chill out and relax away from busy lives but it is not too far from civilisation for provisions. Every day the lake below turned a different shade of green and if you are up early you can watch the mountain tops beyond turn to pink in the morning light, utterly stunning.

Valentina was extremely helpful and the trip went without a hitch. The house is great and in a lovely location, seeing wild boar and badgers was fantastic. Would happily go again and will be happy to go through Valentina.

Lovely spot! The area, the house, the views... all was great! Can't wait to go back there!

Il Metato di Franco si trova proprio in mezzo ad un bosco, ottima posizione perchè in breve si raggiungono con la macchina le principali mete turistiche (Careggine, Vagli e il paese fantasma, Campocatino, Pontecosi, il lago di Gramolazzo, ecc). La casa è molto bella e curata nei particolari, con un ampio giardino dove poter mangiare e fare un ottimo barbeque! Grazie veramente. Torneremo!

We felt like we'd escaped to another world. Catia' house was so stylish and cosy and she gave great advice on places to visit, walks and places to eat. We loved walking half an hour up to the local bar at night where Paolo served little homemade snacks and opened the shop for us. It was a really lovely break with good walks and beautiful surroundings.

Catia had a perfect place for exploring the mountains around Carrara... Not only a cosy stove to burn wood, fully equipped kitchen and beautiful rooms... but also a quiet place and could get some work done. I enjoyed my stay immensely, and I'd return in a heartbeat.

Mein Mann und ich haben einige Tage in Catia's wunderbaren Haus verbracht und fühlten uns von Anfang an einfach nur wohl. Anna, eine so hilfsbereite und charmante Dame, hat uns willkommen geheißen und stand uns bei allen Fragen stets zur Seite. Es war der perfekte Ort, in einer ruhigen und idyllischen Nachbarschaft, in der es so viel schönes zu entdecken gibt, um vor dem Alltagsstress zu flüchten. In dem mittelalterlichem Dorf fühlten wir uns in vergangene Zeiten zurückversetzt und konnten ganz authentisch vor dem Ofen entspannen und unsere Pasta auf einem kleinen Gasherd zubereiten. Mit viel Liebe zum Detail hat Catia eine Umgebung geschaffen, in der es uns an nichts mangelte. Vielen Dank Catia, für die besondere Auszeit!

I have been using Airbnb since it started, and I can honestly say that Catia’s place is the nicest I've stayed in. Vagli Sotto really is as pictured - a village on a lake, so picturesque, you feel like you’re living in a fairy tale. You can walk round the village in minutes. It’s filled with houses made from wood and stone, reachable only by tiny cobblestone alleyways. A water fountain near the village square channels fresh spring water. The only residents of the village are local Italians, most of whom who have lived there their whole lives. A church at the top of the village chimes regularly. This is a different pace of life, dominated by the seasons, and the rising and setting of the sun. After a week of being there, I still had to pinch myself; I genuinely felt like the luckiest man alive to experience such a charming, timeless environment. Catia’s place, which has been in her family for generations, is remarkable in itself; wood and stone, incredibly charismatic. But Catia has spent so much time adding a modern design sensibility which never feels cloying; it compliments the house perfectly. Subtle and elegant lighting compliments the natural materials. Brass piping and marble makes spending time in the bathroom a joy. Sunlight streams in the mornings through white curtains, mingling with the sound of running water, and neighbours conversing in local dialect. Every room has its own character. As a writer, I enjoyed being here by myself and working, but I reckon it would be ideal for family trips – and I can’t imagine a more perfect place to spirit away a lover for a romantic break. The area's filled with great hiking, small mountains and hills to conquer, and villages similar in size and character to Vagli. The lake which surrounds the village is amazing. It’s clean, and wonderful to swim in, from different spots. In case you don’t feel brave enough to do so - or you have kids - there’s also a communal swimming pool by the lake – less than 15 mins walk from the house. There’s a few local restaurants, but I cooked every night; all shopping is done at Paolo’s, 20 mins walk. Very well stocked, and lots of fresh local produce – of course including tomatoes, cheese, bread, as well as other vegetables and all the groceries and wine you could ask for (I wasn’t eating meat, but Paolo’s is well stocked with lots of local varieties of ham). Unless you’re driving, you need to take a cab there from the nearest station (cab costs 28€). The drive in simply remarkable; undulating valleys and jagged tooth mountains. It literally took my breath away. On top of that, Catia is a joy! One of the nicest people I’ve met… I’ve been quite effusive in this review, but for good reason. It shan’t be the last time I visit Vagli Sotto.

This is a very special house and we loved our stay in Vagli Sotto. It gave us exactly what we were looking for: a peaceful place to relax, where we could sit outside in the sun on a lovely patio and read. Catia has decorated the house beautifully, combining the authentic and rustic with elegant, modern design features and furniture. Everything is very tasteful and comfortable. Catia is also the most gracious and generous host you can imagine and she gave us lots of great information about the area. Vagli Sotto is a storybook village and the house has a restaurant and cafe nearby, with very friendly owners. Just a 15 minute walk from the house there is fantastic pool and more restaurants (which we did not visit). There are also many places to go for hikes, especially the view from Campocatino is breathtaking. This house in Vagli Sotto is extraordinary and it offers a rare, perhaps one of a kind, combination of modern taste and local authenticity.

Tuscan villa Catia's Tuscan Villa is so much more than it promises. Firstly, even the train trip from Pisa and then the taxi to her home were truly spectacular, with wildly romantic scenery, lush forests, pastures, rivers and lakes even better than the movies. Our taxi driver, Antonio spoke wonderful English and chatted to us about the area as we wound through the mountains. Vagli is an absolute fairytale village. Catia's home is nestled into a tiny path, private with a lovely patio perfect for breakfast coffee. Her home is renovated but rustic, but with much of the original architecture left untouched. Every room is simple yet gorgeous with unique touches of catia's family and history. It feels precious, beautiful and comfortable all at once and really has everything you could need. There are even working fireplaces and wood, or you can just open up the windows and let the sunshine stream in on the sunny days. We were even joined by two of the world's happiest cats, Sam and Batman. Bring supplies, if you plan on staying a while, although the local shop will have most things you will need. Go for a walk, because it's stunningly beautiful, swim in the lake, eat the Tuscan cheese, drink the €2 wine, visit the cemetery and pat the cats. I only wish we could have stayed for so much longer. Thank you Catia x

Catia's place was quite incredible. It's rustic and charming all over. We felt like we were truly living in a Tuscan village when we stayed there. If you really want an experience that removes you from the hustle and bustle of big cities, go to Vagli Sotto. We loved roaming around in a village where the people didn't really speak English. We loved the views afforded by the mountains. We loved not having a TV and actually cooking and eating meals together! That doesn't mean the amenities weren't great though. There was wifi and a great laundry that was so useful. For heating we absolutely enjoyed the heat provided by burning firewood in the wood stove. If you want to explore beyond Vagli Sotto and its immediate surrounds, you'll need a car with you. With a car we were able to reach Lucca, Barga and other areas in Tuscany. Communication with Catia was great. It was actually quite impressive that Catia was able to provide assistance so smoothly even though she was in London. Even prior to our arrival, Catia prepared us for our stay by providing comprehensive information about the best activities, interesting day trips and the best places to eat. Obviously we never got to meet Catia personally but her helper, Anna, was so personable and helpful! All in all, we would definitely recommend staying here if you really want a holiday where you can just get away from it all.

Catia's place is nothing short of perfection. The decor of the house is superb and the location is breathtaking. She was very communicative throughout the whole trip, and her neighbour was very helpful when we needed to know where anything was! It is such a tranquil and peaceful part of the world.. nestled in the mountains, with beautiful villages near by to explore. We enjoyed our stay so much that we have decided to come back in a few years! Truly a wonderful getaway :) Thank you Catia!!!!!

House in Vagli was really nice experience - it is lovely and very old stone house, with cozy kitchen area on the first floor and bedrooms on the second. The place is fully authentic, I recommend staying at the house for a vacation. Vagli itself is an interesting area - nearby are hiking tracks and beautiful lake, interesting villages. The host offered us a welcoming home-made dinner (we really appreciated it, as it is nothing that hosts usually do), it was fantastic! Thank you, Maria Christina, for the lovely stay.

We arrived to be warmly greeted by our hosts mum and son with cake wine and grapes, and an informative description of the house and activities in the area. The house was beautifully restored with a wonderful fire and central heating which we used every day to make our evenings complete and homely. The house was very clean and complete with every article one would need at home . Our stay at Vagli Sotto was like being taken back in time but with all the modern requirements. A brilliant Airbnb experience

When we arrived we were met by the hosts and shown around, not only had they made the house extremely cosy, they told us where to walk, what to see, where to eat and answered all of our questions. they were lovely hosts and this place is probably one of the most beautiful I've been to in Italy, beating the beauty of the old cultural hubs of Florence and Rome with pure serenity and unrivalled tranquility.

Siamo soliti affittare appartamenti per trascorrere una vacanza in ambienti caldi e familiari ma non ci aspettavamo di trovarci davvero a casa ..come in famiglia!!La casa era davvero deliziosa e sopratutto è la prima volta che troviamo un ambiente conforme alla descrizione e sopratutto pulito e dotato davvero di (URL HIDDEN) davvero tutto!L'accoglienza di questa famiglia è la chicca dell'intero soggiorno!Persone così disponibili non ne abbiamo mai trovate finora!Ci hanno accolto con una cena calda e tanti piccoli gesti che ci hanno fatto sentire davvero (URL HIDDEN) casina è qualcosa di davvvero straordinario per chi è abituato al caos di città...sembra quasi essere tornati indietro nel tempo ...a quando si poteva ancora dormire sereni ..e lì di serenità se ne respira tanta!La casa si raggiunge facilmente trovandosi in un contesto piccolo ...a chi piace fare escursioni e andare in montagna è l'ideale sopratutto per coppie con due bimbi avendo sue comode (URL HIDDEN) cucina spaziosa e calda è dotata di tutto il necessario per una vacanza senza alcuna rinuncia.Essendo un posto abbastanza freddo è munita di un bellissimo camino in mattoni che faceva attivare il riscaldamento centrale in modo da tenere calda l'intera casa.Ah la legna era anch'essa fornita dalla struttura ..bastava accedere alla comoda cantina al piano di sotto,con passaggio diretto dall'appartamento,ed il gioco è fatto!Insomma per farla breve la consiglio a tutti ed io in prima persona non mancheró in un secondo assaggio di questo splendido paesino!

Maria-Christina is a fantastic host. She's responding very quickly to questions and helps where-ever you ask for. We were welcomed by M. Christina and her mom with Some real nice tapas and a bottle of prosecco. They also did Some grocceries for us. The house was as nice as on the pictures on airBnB. The village of Vagli Sotto os fantastic and increadibly beautiful. The communal swimmingpool we reached per bike in a few minutes and it was perfect to cool down. The Lake doesn't really suits to swim altough sometimes there where some people swimming. There are nice things to do and see in the area but it not a very touristic area... That's way we loved it this much! Thera's a small supermarket in the surroundings of the swimmingpool, the nearest big supermarket is in Castelnuovo di Garfagnana. We had a wonderful time and stayed for more then 2 weeks in the house of Marie-Christina. Hope to come back one day!

After the crowds and noise in Firenze, it was a big relief to arrive in Maria Cristina's house in Vagli Sotto. And our arrival couldn't be any better: we were treated to a delicious lasagna made by Maria Cristina's mother. The house is rustic but very charming, clean and comfortable. The village was so quiet it was difficult to get out of bed. The Garfagnana region is spectacular: dramatic landscapes of small villages nestled in rocky cliffs; great food, friendly people. We trekked in the mountains, visited several villages (Corfignano is a must-see) and loved every minute of it. Staying in Maria Cristina's house was a great experience and gave us a feel of how people live in Garfagnana. We would recommend it to anyone who wants to have a "real" Tuscan experience and we definitely hope to be back in the region pretty soon.

This is a great place to come if you like walking and want to 'get away from it all'. The house is beautifully situated in a secluded village high up in the mountains. It is a lovely place to stay and Maria is a kind and welcoming host. Thank you Maria!

Cristina's house was perfect for our family holiday. When we arrived Cristina's mum had kindly made us a lasagna which was delicious. Our 2 sons thought it was the best lasagna they had ever eaten! The house was spotlessly clean and a perfect location to visit the local towns, and we even went as far as Pisa. Rest assured you will need a car for your stay to make the most of the house and the surrounding areas. If you like walking then I recommend Campocatino, where you can follow the trails up into the mountains. The local village has a small shop which sells the essential items, and also a couple of restaurants. There is also the communal swimming pool, but be sure to book early for a table as these can be booked out early. We will definitely be back next year as this is one of the most enjoyable holidays we have ever had. I cannot recommend highly enough how nice a house and location this is.

Vagli di Sotto è un minuscolo ma affascinante Comune della Garfagnana, situato su un lago artificiale e circondato da montagne ricoperte di splendidi boschi. Ottima base per passeggiate. La casa è spaziosa, arredamento "vintage" ma tutto in ordine e funzioanante

The apartment of Matteo in Vagli Sotto is very cozy and a nice place to get away from the touristic routes in Tuscany. We enjoyed several walks and a swim in the pool (1 km walk).

La maison est située dans un petit village de montagne au sein du parc naturel régional des alpes apuanes, tout au nord de la Toscane. Un coin idéal pour faire des marches. La maison est très propre avec l'ensemble des services nécessaires. RAS. L'accueil et la disponibilité de Matteo sont irréprochables. Nous invitons les voyageurs qui viennent ici pour visiter les sites majeurs de la Toscane à bien regarder la carte et évaluer les temps d'accès aux sites touristiques majeurs (Florence, Pise, Luques, etc.)... plus éloignés que nous le pensions.

Matteo has been a perfect host. Contacted us before we came to agree where we should meet. Greeted us with a bottle of wine, showed us around, offered to help with the bags. Answered our questions and told where to go in case of any trouble. Following Matteo's suggestion we've parked our car about 50m from the house as the street is very narrow. The house is great. It is located in the old part of Vagli Sotto, just one minute walk from the Good Evening Restaurant and Bar. It is about 15mins walk from the newer part of the village (with other bars / restaurants) and the nearest shop. Matteo's house has everything you need for the stay. It feels as someone has just moved out of it leaving everything behind. Everything is clean and well decorated. On the outside, there is a half private entrance to the possession (not house itself) as there is another apartment in the ground floor of the building and it is also being rented. So you may expect to share the entrance with some neighbors. The outside is closed so it is perfect if you travel with kids or pets (other apartment has its own separated garden). Vagli Sotto really tries to be a place for tourists, it offers public pool, zip-line ride and other attractions during the weekends (during our stay there was an event with around 30 vintage cars coming to the village). Although because of the drought the lake was half empty it still was nice, and it looked good especially from the mountains. It is a good spot for both hikers / mountain bikers and cyclists. Not much to do in the evening apart from walking around the lake or reading Thanks Matteo!

Io e la mia famiglia abbiamo soggiornato nell'alloggio di Matteo per un fine settimana. Casa pulita e ben fornita dell'attrezzatura essenziale. Posizione ottima immersa nel verde della Garfagnana, il posto ideale per chi, come noi ama riposarsi ma anche praticare sport ed escursioni nel verde. Abbiamo apprezzato moltissimo la distesa estiva sul retro della casa con sdraio e amaca da cui potevamo godere di un paesaggio splendido. Ringraziamo Matteo che si è rivelato un host cortese e disponibile, consigliamo questo alloggio a chi vuole scrollarsi di dosso una buona dose di stress.

The host canceled this reservation the day before arrival. This is an automated posting.

La sig.ra Piera è stata gentilissima e ci ha spiegato tutto, invitandoci di usufruire tutte le cose della casa senza problemi. La casa è deliziosa e ha tutto quello che serve, pulizia impeccabile. La zona è bellissima, perfetto per una vacanza in tranquillità con bambini. Ottima pizza presso la pizzeria Good Evening a due passi dalla casa.

Una casa fantastica! E' stata il nostro punto di partenza per delle splendide escursioni sulle più belle vette delle Apuane. La casa, accessoriatissima, è più bella di quanto non rendano le foto, ha un'ampia zona esterna attrezzata, e Matteo è stato super premuroso, soddisfacendo ogni nostra esigenza. Se torniamo in Garfagnana torneremo certamente da Matteo. Assolutamente da consigliare.

This cottage is absolutely stunning! It has everything you could possibly need for a short break or long term stay, is ideally located for the centre and lake (but not too close) and has very recently been sympathetically renovated to a high standard whilst retaining numerous character features. It was immaculate upon arrival and Antonella and her husband the hosts (not forgetting her very helpful and fluent English speaking assistant Elisa) were fantastic in every aspect. 10/10 in every department, I highly recommend and definitely will be returning!

abbiamo trovato la casa accogliente, curata fin nei dettagli, pulitissima, perfetta per il nostro breve soggiorno ma senz'altro adatta anche per periodi piú lunghi. Abbiamo visitato i dintorni, il lago, la montagna i caratteristici borghi e la nostra bambina (3anni) si è goduta la piscina comunale di Vagli. la casa di Antonella e Michele é stata parte integrante del nostro benessere: fare colazione immersi fra castagni secolari e con la vista del lago è stato,per noi, un modo splendido di iniziare la giornata, così come prendersi qualche ora di riposo in giardino nella quiete

This is the place! If you need to rest and relax, you simply must not miss out on Antonella's fantastic house in Vagli Sotto. Wonderful location in the middle of the beautiful nature. The house itself... amazing - nothing less. Clever solutions, very clean, all you need in the kitchen, a great bed, Wi-Fi, an efficient stove/heater if needed. On top, Antonella is very kind and helpful with the same eye for details and perfection as the house mirrors. Great communication all the way. Highly recommended!

When we arrived we were a bit disappointed that the lake was empty due to dry weather, but we heard this is not every summer the case. The house is not directly at the lake (even if the lake would be full) like the pictures seem to suggest. The outside of the house is characteristic, but inside is very Ikea and plastic. Ofcourse taste differs. The fireplace is a pallet one, we were able to use it the second day after they installed it. Unfortunately the shower will not turn hot and there is no water left for a second shower. The bed is nice, even as the view. On arrival there was a big leakage of the bath, but the hosts were very helpful in letting this get fixed and were very sorry. The surroundings are beautiful with nice hiking possibilities and the house is comfortable though. Try the restaurant in Roggio, la capannina, this is very wonderful and great food.

Kleines, sehr gepflegtes, liebevoll eingerichtetes Haus in sehr ruhiger Umgebung. Für uns war alles vorhanden, was wir benötigt haben. 2 Eßplätze draußen, Grill, Liegestühle. Ideal für 2 Personen, wenn man Ruhe sucht. Sehr herzlicher Empfang. Insgesamt perfekt.

La casa è confortevole e molto ben arredata. I proprietari sono gentilissimi e sempre disponibili. Consiglio vivamente di scegliere questo alloggio a tutti coloro che amano la natura e sono alla ricerca di tranquillità.

Our stay at Antonellas cottage was just perfect. Beautiful and clean accommodation - excellent communication from the owners. It's great if you love nature and quietness but a short day trip to Lucca or Pisa is also possible. Overall we spent very peaceful few days there and would highly recommend it to others.

Ein tolles und sehr sauberes Haus in einer ruhigen Umgebung!!! Sehr empfehlenswert! Vielen lieben Dank, Antonella, für die drei unvergesslichen Tage!

The host canceled this reservation 20 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Очень красивое и тихое место. Все очень понравилось. В доме все есть для комфортной жизни. Прекрасный вид на горы. Вкусный завтрак и отличный ужин в ресторане неподалеку. Мы отправились отсюда в горы и с удовольствием вернулись сюда снова. Спасибо за гостеприимный приём !

L'accoglienza del disponibilissimo signor Lorenzo è stata impeccabile, nonostante il nostro ritardo ci ha accolto senza problemi e ci ha lasciato un'ottima marmellata fatta in casa e un'ottima birra artigianale. Inoltre ci ha consigliato luoghi nei dintorni da visitare e dove mangiare. La casa è molto graziosa, ubicata nel centro di Puglianella, cittadina medievale che gode di una splendida vista sulle alpi Apuane. Dal piano superiore della casa dove sono situate le due camere da letto si accede alla grande terrazza esterna dove si trova la piscina privata tenuta impeccabilmente e sempre pulita, sopraelevata rispetto alla strada in modo da consentire una maggiore privacy. La casa è recentemente ristrutturata e fornita di qualsiasi cosa si possa avere bisogno, wi-fi molto potente che prende in tutte le stanze e anche all'esterno, tv con decoder, bagno spaziosissimo e molta luce. È raro alloggiare in una casa di tale livello quando si prenota all'ultimo minuto! Perfetta per coppie e/o famiglie che vogliono trascorrere un periodo di relax nella tranquillità montana tuttavia a un'ora di macchina dal mare della Versilia con i suoi intrattenimenti. Consigliatissima!

Ask for the room "Venice." It's morer expensive, biut worth the extra money.

The accommodation was exactly as shown on the website and immaculately clean. There was a nice outside area where we spent a couple of lovely evenings and the house was well equipped. Vagli Sotto and the surrounding areas were very picturesque - the local pool was nice and clean (very cold!) - perfect for cooling off during this heatwave. My only concern were the stairs - I have very young children (they are 2 and 3) and we were constantly warning them away from the stairs which are quite narrow, slippery and steep. It's not a huge problem - and shouldn't put anyone off booking - but you just need to be vigilant. Otherwise the children loved the area and chickens who are housed nearby!

Absolutely fantastic home and location in a lovely Italian village in the mountains. It is very calm, peacefull place. About 1 km. away there is a public pool, small shop for elementary products. Host Matteo responds very politely and quickly to any question. If you dont mind a bit of driving, it's amazing place to stay.

Tutto ok

È stata una bella esperienza stare lì nella montagna di Vagli , la casa è stata molto pulita esattamente come le sue foto! L'host è stato molto gentile e disponibile! Abbiamo avuto una bella vacanza e non vedo l'ora di ritornare presto a Vagli e Casa di Matteo!

L'alloggio è ben attrezzato e molto carino. La zona è distante al punto giusto dal centro del paese (raggiungibile a piedi). Poco distante tutti i servizi (nei limiti di un paesino di montagna), una piacevole piscina pubblica e tantissime escursioni sia per neofiti che per esperti. Ci siamo trovati molto bene e torneremo sicuramente.
