!Runars place was a dream!Opening the shutters to the incredible view was a morning treat, smelling the airs freshness, padding down ancient stone stairs to the cosy ,well equipped kitchen , popping over to the terrace to sit in the morning sun surrounded by mountains, watching the morning mists rise and fall and savouring the absolute peace. We loved everything!We loved staying home as the house is so comfortable and homely ( and would love to stay when it's colder and enjoy the wood burning stoves )but we also went walking with our two teenagers, in the mountain forests next to the house and discovered magical streams , gorges and very exciting (!)Roman bridges.We swam in the River and picnicked on huge boulders down the bottom of our mountain.We dined twice at the village restaurant which is wonderful , so friendly and the most perfect traditional Italian food .The surrounding area is teeming with history too. We want to come back soon but we are worried Runar will soon be booked up forever!

We spent an amazing week at a very unique and very very charming villa in a beautiful, calm and pitoresque surrounding. All in all it has been an memorable experience. We loved that the house is so old and has history and its tasteful interieur, and though it is kind of small (4 levels, each consisting of one room) it is very well equiped: if you want to cook, relax in front of a fire place (there are two), read a good book or just enjoy sundown on your own terrace with stunning views. There are also hiking trails right around the corner and a good restaurant (we have been told so, unfortunately it had been closed in the week we had been there). We did not mind that the next grocery stores were 15 km away since we had a car. Though Runar, the host, was not present, he was always available, kind and helpful. We appreciated it. We loved it and would definetly recommend staying there!

Io la mia ragazza e i miei amici abbiamo deciso di passare il capodanno lontano dal caos della città... beh ci siamo riusciti :) la casa è molto grande e carina , la taverna è fantastica specialmente quando si vuole passare delle serate in gruppo . Ringrazio tanto Germana per la sua gentilezza e la sua disponibilità.

I have stayed in many airbnbs, but Lauras was so far the best! The house is located in a charming little village, 5 kilometres from Bagni di Lucca, where you can find anything you need. The village is calm and people are very friendly. The house is like from a novels about Tuscany that I read. Stone walls, green Windows, plenty of flowers. Its well equipped to spend a life in there, not just a holidays. There are many places to relax. You can sit on the terrace or lie in the garden. Laura and her family are very nice people and we felt really welcomed. Laura prepared us a diner and a delicious caked and invited us for a homemade pizza. The best pizza I had in years. I can only recommend this place as it is a true gem!

Read all the other reviews and double it! We loved this place in a traditional Italian hill village. With superb views, sunshine all day on the terrace. Laura was a brilliant hostess, attentive without being obtrusive. She and her family were generous and friendly with their hospitality with pizza's evenings and throughout our stay. You have to be prepared for the twist and turns of the journey from Bagni, but how else would you get the view?

We had a great time at Laura´s house, the house and the view is just wonderful. Laura and her family really did everything for a pleasant stay. When arriving, we found a tremendous and incredible good Lasagna! And also during our stay she was so kind, bringing us freshly baked bread and cake. Our final night at her parents house with about 10 different types of Pizza left us without words. We had just a wonderful time and will surely come back. Thanks for everything Laura. Definitely recommended but rent a car as the place is in a small village and public transport is rare.

Such a nice house. Lots of space, very well equipped kitchen, scenic terrasse right next to the kitchen. I can't think of anything we missed during our stay. Laura was very helpfull and easy to get in contact with during our stay. The area around Bagni di Lucca is beautiful, quiet, good places for hiking, activities in the rivers (eg hiking in beautiful and narrow Canyon), not many tourists in the area. Perfectl! We would love to come back again. Indeed recommended.

Дом отличный, в нем есть все необходимое и место чудесное для тихого отдыха и путешествий по региону Карфаньяна. Лаура и её семья замечательные хозяева и сделали даже больше, чем должны были, чтобы наш отдых был приятным. Спасибо большое!

Uns hat besonders gefallen, das wir immer einen Ansprechpartner hatten, haben uns sehr willkommen gefühlt, es war alles sehr liebevoll hergerichtet. Wir sind von Laura und ihrer Familie sogar zum Essen eingeladen worden, war ein sehr schöner Abend. Das Haus ist sehr gut ausgestattet, hat alles was man braucht für einen schönen Urlaub, besonders schön fanden wir die tolle Sonnenterrasse mit Panoramablick, einfach traumhaft. Wir kommen auf alle Fälle wieder, wahrscheinlich schon im nächsten Jahr. Die Gegend ist wunderschön. Man kommt überall schnell hin, Pisa, Lucca oder Florenz. Bagni di Lucca gefällt uns auch sehr gut, ist sehr nahe beim Ferienhaus, man bekommt alles was man braucht , viele Geschäfte und Restaurants wo man gut essen kann. Im Dorf gibt es auch ein kleines Geschäft, und ein Restaurant. Wir sind begeistert.

Our trip to this beautiful part of Tuscany was an absolute dream - we would love to come back. Awaiting us upon arrival was wine, cake, lasagne, cherry jam, aromatic salt, and eggs from the wonderful hosts. Laura was incredibly helpful from start to finish, and her lovely family invited us in for an endless amount of pizzas from the big oven in their backyard. Mobbiano was a nice and short enough winding drive from Bagni di Lucca, and we did many walks around the area, including climbing Prato Fiorito - a highlight of the trip. We spent a lot of time on the terrace - the view of the hills was sublime, which you get from each bedroom too. And every day we went to a nearby idyllic spot in the Torrente Lima to swim and lie in the sun. The worst part was leaving, but we'll be back. Thank you Laura, Roberta, Idamo and Luca for your hospitality!

Højt oppe i bjergene er dette hus placeret. Vi nød den fantastiske udsigt fra terrassen og alle rummene i huset! Hvis du ønsker en autentisk toscansk oplevelse skal du vælge dette. Du skal ikke vælge huset hvis du er til luksus - men hvis du er villig til at opleve et ægte toscansk hus, skal du gøre det. Du skal ikke være sart mht bjergkørsel, da det fra Bagni di Lucca går opad i ca 10km's hårnåle sving (men uden dette kunne man ikke få den udsigt!). Handl inden i køre fra Bagni di Lucca. Laura var fantastisk - vi ankom uden mad, men den fiksede hun!

Super skøn lejlighed indrettet minimalistisk og lækker, med en fantastisk udsigt, dejlig pool og natur. Det er lidt isoleret, så man skal være klar på at køre. Francescas forældre var søde og hjælpsomme, men hosten som tog imod os og som havde sagt hun ville være behjælpelig med Info og gode råd, svarede aldrig på vores beskeder og det virkede ikke som om hun havde nogen interesse i om vi havde et godt ophold.

Logement très soigné et propre dans un adorable petit village "perché". Très calme et élégant. Communication super facile et rapide avec Francesca. Idéal pour un séjour paisible et reposant dans un magnifique décor. Piscine super ☺!

What an amazing location, so peaceful in the mountains. If you are looking for a couple of days of complete rest, go here! A beautiful apartment, Fransesca told us that her husband is an architect, you could tell, the apartment was gorgeous. The swimming pool was beautiful, great beds by the pool. Fransesca and her parents (who live next door) were very helpful and friendly. Everything was tidy and clean. Totally recommended! Thank you!!

Petite maison sur 2 étages avec à chaque étage 1 appartement comprenant une très grande pièce avec grand lit et table et petite cuisine à l'américaine + salle de bain. Très propre, décoration de très bon goût! Maison très agréable! Petite terrasse très pratique pour déjeuner ou diner! La piscine est commune à 3 maisons mais cela n'est pas dérangeant car la piscine est très grande, dans un beau jardin à 30 seconde de la maison, avec une vue incroyable! Francesca est très agréable ainsi que ses parents, nous avons été très bien reçu! Je recommande pour un séjour entre amis ou en famille! Cadre et alentours magnifiques!

We had a really nice time. The house is in village of Guzzano, which is very peaceful. You do need a car to get there. Great view over the Tuscany hills. The house has everything you need. Pool is great. In the valley you have the small town of Bagni di Lucca where you can get everything you need. Very nice villages nearby and of course places like Lucca, Florence and Pisa are not that far away. Great host. Very helpful. Is you need anything you can just ask...

What a beautiful and magical location! The house was modern and spacious and somehow seamlessly meshes with the gorgeous Tuscan landscape. Francesca was marvelous, as well.

Supermooi verblijf in een zeer rustig dorp. Zeer warme ontvangst. Alles was kraaknet. Wij komen terug!

Wonderful place. Highly recommend!!!

We were travelling with a group of 7 and wanted to explore the countryside of Barga on our way to Modena and wanted to stay at somewhere different. We found this lovely stone house in the listing and booked it without hesitation. The actual house is exactly the same as the picture, and with more history and stories to tell. The house is located in the hill of Bagni di Lucca, it’s 15 minute drive from Bagni and 45 minutes from Lucca. We were really sorry that we could only arrive at late night, but Gionata’s mum was so kind to guide us from the mid-of the mountain and directed us to the house in the dark. She showed us around the house and we were really impressed by the furniture and the old pictures of the family. When we woke up in the morning, we saw the picturesque view of the hill from the window, how relaxing and tranquil it was! Gionata was so kind to recommend restaurants and bakeries in the nearby neighborhood. For anyone who want to experience this stone house from the 16 century and true Italian culture, I am sure this is the house for you, we wish we could have spent more time in this lovely place. Thanks Gionata and his mum for this!

Gionata and his mother gave you a lovely warm welcome. A charming rustic house (very clean, well-equipped and exactly as described) in a quiet hamlet but only 10min drive from Bagni di Lucca. Would stay there again if we're not very in the area. Recommend!

Gionata's house is just wonderful, inside and outside-a gem to behold and to stay in. He himself was very helpful in arranging our rather last-minute request: although we didn't get to meet him in person, he helped to arrange for his mother to accommodate us. His English is also good. Because of bad weather we ended up staying only one night, but I'd certainly return. Highly recommended!

Jonathan is a fantastically accommodating host — he even hauled many of our over-stuffed bags up to the house; he insisted on it, in fact. Just minutes after arriving, I asked Jonathan if he knew where I could get some wild boar to cook (a favourite of my husband and I), and within an hour, he cheerfully returned with 1 kilo from a friend's freezer. Fantastic! Any time we needed advice or had a question or minor request ("Do you have a speaker for our iPad?") he was there in minutes. His mother, too, was so friendly and helpful, showing us pictures of her family, and telling their history, in the large dining room. As for the house itself, it has everything you could need: comfortable beds, a lovely bathroom and shower, plenty of towels, and kitchen linens, a fully outfitted kitchen with a large stove and good-size oven, FOUR outdoor areas in which to lounge or dine, two dining rooms and cellars full our outdoor furniture, laundry, a barbecue and more. Bonus: there is sage, rosemary and (I think) wild oregano in the garden! Although there are steps up a hill to the house, it's an easy walk more than doable for those in OK shape (we're not an athletic family). The neighbours are lovely, some chatting quietly during their outdoor dinners, others taking his two goats out for an evening stroll. If you're looking for any sort of nightlife and lightning-fast WiFi, this place is obviously not for you. But if you're happy with a short drive to Bagni di Lucca for swimming and some shops, you'll love it. There is a fabulous butcher shop and the not-to-be-missed Santina Taverna (go after 7 and don't miss the Pecorino with dessert) in San Cassiano, less than five minute (by car) away. Both are must-visits for foodies. The only suggestion I have — and this is only because we visited during an unusual heat wave, when even the locals were complaining — is that there be a few fans in the bedrooms. That would have made taken our stay to perfection. You will absolutely love this peaceful, friendly village, the house and its generous owners.

Det perfekte sted for total afslapning! Hyggeligt, stort hus og god plads udenfor med 2 terrasser og en have. Vi var der i 9 dage og nød virkelig roen og den afslappende stemning i den lille by. Smuk udsigt og søde og venlige naboer. Vi blev modtaget af Gionata's mor, som kun taler italiensk, men på trods af sprog barrieren blev vi sat godt ind i husets funktioner osv. Der var dejligt og rent da vi ankom, og alting fungerede som det skulle. Vi kan varmt anbefale dette skønne spot!

Wir verbrachten unsere beiden letzten Urlaubstage da. Es regnete und wir planten gemütliche Lesetage auf der überdachten Terrasse. Habe zwar Verständnis dafür, dass dieses große Haus seinen Gästen ein zweites Badezimmer bieten will, fand es aber doch recht dreist und vor allem inakzeptabel, dass der Handwerker bis ca 21.30 hämmerte, bohrte und sägte! Die Kommunikationsschwierigkeiten mögen technischen unzulänglichkeiten zuzuschreiben sein, Tatsache ist jedoch, dass eine reizende Nachbarin uns half, das richtige Haus zu finden und die Vermieterin informierte. Ganz abgesehen von diesen negativeren Punkten ist das Haus wunderschön. Mitten im bewaldeten Hang in einem 10 Häuserweiler gelegen. Atemberaubende Aussichten, ländliche Abgelegenheit und absolute Ruhe. Beim Eingang ist 1863 eingemeißelt, so alt scheint das Haus zu sein, dickes Steingemäuer, niedrige Räume, ein ebenso alter unebener wunderbarer Steinboden! Die Geschichte vieler Generationen spür- und auch sichtbar. Hat Museumscharakter, Familienfotos, Bilder, authentische Möbel, Nippes allover. Und es ist alles da, was frau sich als Gästin wünschen kann.

very clean, everthing perfect, nice stay in Tuscany!

Baita molto carina ed accogliente. Proprietari gentili e disponibili. Esperienza da ripetere!

Cadre paysager magnifique. Idéal pour se reposer, se ressourcer et être en contact avec la nature. Logement propre, fonctionnel et confortable. Merci beaucoup à Luciano pour son accueil chaleureuse, sa gentillesse et sa disponibilité. Seul b mol: nous avons eu du mauvais temps et malgré le chauffagecimpeccable, comme on est à la montagne, il faut s'adapter à l'humidité. Si non, tout est bien et nous conseillons vivement la Baita de Stefania e Luciano.

The place is truly amazing - a private cottage in the middle of the mountains in Tuscany. We spend a couple of days there in complete relax, away from the hectic cities and in the quiet and beauty of the nature around it. Our host was welcoming, sweet and provided us with everything we needed. The location is great also to explore the surrounding forests, small towns, and the city of Lucca which is about an hour drive.
