Vi kände oss mycket väl omhändertagna och fick all nödvändig information av Ashton. Boendet var helt underbart, i en charmig by omgiven av höga berg och tystnad. Vår utsikt från rummet var enastående. Rummet var mycket smakfullt inrett, bra med utrymmen, nyrenoverat badrum, skön uteplats för eftermiddagen och fin uteplats för frukosten. Vi uppskattade även det mycket goda kaffet som vi kunde laga i espressomaskinen. I byn fanns även en härlig restaurang med mycket god mat och familjär och professionell personal.

Um den Weg zum Haus zu finden, holten wir Ashton im einzigen Restaurant des Dorfes ab. Nach etwa 5 min zu Fuß erreichten wir das Haus, welches dem auf den Bildern absolut entspricht. In einer traumhaften Kulisse, der Abgeschiedenheit der Berge, einem sagenhaften Panorama verbrachten wir leider nur zwei Nächte. Obwohl keine Küche vorhanden war, fehlte es an nichts: neben Kaffee und Tee standen Pralinen und Obst bereit. Die Empfehlung des ortsansässigen Restaurantes, welches gut zu Fuß erreichbar ist, muss man annehmen: regionale Küche, täglich wechselnde Tagesgerichte...absolut lecker und bezahlbar. Man hat seinen eigenen Eingang und bekommt vom Gastgeber garnichts mit. Vom Haus aus lässt sich die malerische Gegend gut zu Fuß erkunden, jedoch sollte das Schuhwerk entsprechend sein und die Schritte sicher, da das Dorf an einem steilen Hang steht. Die Unterkunft ist ein abgelegener Ort der Ruhe, zum Entspannen und Wandern. Wir könnnen diesen Ort absolut empfehlen, und hoffen eines Tages nocheinmal zu kommen, für einen längeren Zeitraum. Aber selbst für einen kurzen Aufenthalt lohnt sich der Weg in die Berge, vorbei an Pisa, Lucca und Bagni di Lucca.

Vico Paccelorum is indescribable. After driving up the mountain, you enter a different world, enchanted, full of very decent people, and with a view to beautiful to imagine. Ashton's place fits right in there. The coffee, the design, the fruits on the table, everything made us feel home. It wasn't our honeymoon, but we'd wished we had known it back then. Thanks, Ashton.

Ashton è stato molto accogliente nei nostri confronti e disponibile. Il paesino è molto caratteristico e suggestivo, consigliato per una vacanza pittoresca.

Ashton is a very friendly and accomodating host, he made sure our short stay was as comfortable as possible and was also very flexible with the check out time. One of the things we appreciated most on this cold winter night were the heated underblankets. The apartment has a beautiful rustic look (just like you can see in the photos) and the view from the windows is breathtaking! The local restaurant which he recommended (and booked a table at for us) is just a few minutes of walk down the hill, and serves delicious food indeed.

Soggiorno splendido, accoglienza perfetta, paesaggi che ti mettono in pace con te stesso e col mondo. Non si può chiedere di più!

Wow! This place is magical. From the moment you meet Ashton in the local restaurant (so he can show you up to the house) to the moment you leave - you will be in heaven! The accommodation is set high up in the mountain village of Vico Pancellorum with spectacular views all around. Sitting out on the loggia in the sunshine for breakfast is a must as is an aperitif in the afternoon sunshine on the upper terrace. The room (equipped with a fridge and tea/coffee) is huge with a very comfortable bed and a bathroom with views to die for. Ashton was very aware that the weather was cooling down so he kept the fire stoked which heated our room perfectly. We went on a couple of beautiful mountain walks in the area and really enjoyed the local bar and restaurant. I would thoroughly recommend this place to anyone who loves nature, history, local food and panoramic scenery. Thanks Ashton!

Tutto esattamente come descritto dall'host. Accoglienza perfetta. Assolutamente come desideravo: posto tranquillo adatto a coloro che amano le escursioni a piedi.

Grahame was the best host ever. He met us on time, helped us carry our luggage to the home, and provided us with ample suggestions about the area, including a new hiking map because we mentioned we hiked. He was always available to answer questions and a complete delight to meet. The home was immaculate and first class with gracious touches-cook books, guides, etc. Overall, Grahame's home was beyond 5 stars and we will definitely be returning for a longer time.

Great place, just like seen on the photos, breathtaking view. The host was very pleasent and helpful. Higly recommended. Wifi could work better. No TV but this should not be a problem but advantage for those who look for silence and close contact to the nature. This house is opulent with "museum items" and antiques - one has many to contemplate. What to do in the neighborhood: nice swimmin pool 10 km away, stright way from the house for trakking, heart of Toscany.

Grahame was a wonderful host. Me and my family had a wonderful and relaxing time in this hillside retreat. The drive was beautiful but not for the faint of heart. :) The home was just as expected but even better! The views were breathe taking! Strolled around the mountain side town to find that the village loves their art. The one restaurant in town was phenomenal! Definitely will come back! As a side note, we had 6 and had plenty of room but the house next door is also available for rent and they share a terrace.

We stayed in Grahame's house as a group of 5 friends for 4 nights and had a wonderful time. The house is in an absolutely unique location at the village of Vico Pancellorum, with a wonderful view from several rooms and easy access to hiking paths and the local restaurant. The house itself is very special, and has lots of interesting artworks, so we spent most of our time there. This is definitely a place to relax, get lots of reading done and cook, as the kitchen is very well equipped for traditional cooking. Grahame was also very kind, responsive and pleasant to communicate with. I'd recommend staying longer to really get to know the area and enjoy what the house has to offer.

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!

We had the pleasure of a week in Vico Pancellorum - it was an amazing experience for all of us with lots of bushwalking and little villages to explore - or just relax on the terrace listen to the birdsong and the flowing river. A highlight of any trip there is a dinner (and/or weekend lunch) at Buca di Baldabo - words cannot do justice to the fantastic food and friendly service - I will definitely be back next trip to Italy.

!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!

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.

Superbes moments passés en Toscane dans cette superbe maison ! Si vous cherchez à passer des vacances au calme, dans la nature et avec des vues exceptionnelles vous êtes à la bonne adresse. La maison a l'avantage de toujours rester fraîche (malgré les + de 30° extérieur) ce qui permet de se reposer correctement. De plus même en pleine après-midi pas un rayon de soleil ne passe dans les chambres si les volets sont fermés (pas de réveil à cause de la lumière à 6h30 du matin !!!). Chacune des 4 chambres est équipée d'une salle de bain avec douche, lavabo + toilette. Le tout très propre. La température de la piscine était juste divine et la petite douche extérieure très appréciable. Pour résumer : un weekend inoubliable dans une région magnifique !

The host canceled this reservation 21 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Nick was very friendly and welcoming. He stayed late (even though he had friends visiting) to show us the place and give us tips on where to go and what to do. Jackie had brought us fresh fruit and a bottle of wine to welcome us. The home was exactly like the listing! Beautiful! Extremely comfortable bed! The village was amazing, peaceful and calming. There is also a large selection of music to play. My husband and I only see each other every 4 months or so. So we stayed close to the village and explored, Bagni di Lucca, Pisa and Lucca. We had a death in the family while on vacation, so we decided not to go to Florence. Limano is a great location to hop around to Pisa, Lucca and Florence. You get to go site see, enjoy everything but then come back to your 'bubble' away from all the tourists. I cooked a lot for my husband in the wonderful kitchen. The pantry had a lot of what I needed but there is a local store (Conad) in Bagni di Lucca that was great! Nick always made sure we had enough firewood and pellets for the furnace. The only issue was--- the adjoining home was rented by a small family and you could hear everything...baby crying and the toddler liked to come and mess with the adjoining door--early morning wake ups due a baby was not ideal or romantic dinners with babies crying was not either-but that's what the music is for. :-) and sharing the washer with strangers was difficult-- but doable. We will be back regardless! It was an awesome, relaxing, beautiful and the best place I have ever vacationed! Thank you Nick and Jackie for creating such a haven for us to enjoy!

The house was great. It is a 400 year old family house which is refurbished. Additionally it is in a nice small Italian village up in the hills. My girlfriend and I had a very pleasant stay for 5 days. We enjoyed the facilities of the house (e.g. great place to do some cocking). Also Nick is a great guy. He tipped us about restaurants in the neighbourhood and the best supermarket to go to (approx 1 hour drive). We will definitely visit the house again :-)

We spent our honey moon in Nicks house in Limano. He welcomed us with a bottle Prosecco and fresh strawberries in the fridge. He showed us the wonderful house, explained everything. Even when we had questions during our stay we could always write him. He organized a beautiful horse trip near Lucca for us as well. He really is a super host and a really nice and welcoming person. The house is so beautiful!! The futures and the decoration are very vintage and tasteful. Everything was proper and welcoming. We fell in love with that house and Limano!

A little slice of heaven! This home and the village are full of charm and are a lovely retreat from the hustle of the other areas of Tuscany. Truly an escape from everyday life, this place would be a lovely artists' retreat or for those looking for quiet in a truly beautiful part of the world.

Our stay in the traditional old stone house in the northern part of Tuscany was wonderful. Nick's wife Jackie welcomed us very friendly, showed us around the house and gave us a few pointers for the area. We had nothing to complain about; it was clean, very comfortable, quiet and close to nature - everything we were looking for. We highly recommend Nick's house!

Nick was very helpful - he was waiting at the house when we arrived and he explained where everything was. . We had a great stay - which was birthday treat for an elderly friend of the family (80th Birthday) it was a lovely touch that a special 80th birthday balloon was there on display .. The scenery is great and the house very cosy

My stay at this house was superb. This place is a gem! Upon arrival, Nick was very welcoming and kind. I got an in-depth history of the house which was incredible to learn about. Also, I was not familiar with the area, and Nick took the time to walk around with me and show me all of the interesting sites to visit, and their personal histories. The surrounding area is absolutely breath-taking! The rolling mountains and valleys are beautiful - such a sight to see! I was traveling alone and felt very safe and comfortable in this house. The log burning fireplace is wonderful in the evening. All of the kitchen amenities are beautiful and well functioning. The small patio outside is a great place to have breakfast or an evening glass of wine. The local town is small and quaint. There are many towns nearby, such as Bagni di Lucca, which were great to visit. Also, there are many hiking trails around the area, one of which starts behind a small cathedral, very close to Nick's place. I hiked it one morning and had a really nice time. One thing to note: During my stay the wifi was very unstable, especially if the sky was cloudy. Nick mentioned there is usually not an issue and that this was unusual. If you are wifi dependent, it may be good to message him and ask if the problem has been fixed. Thank you Nick! Already looking forward to returning.

Een heerlijk huis met alles perfect in orde. Een super bed, en heerlijke badkamers. Alles lag klaar om een lekker haardvuur te maken wat we ook gedaan hebben. De keuken was perfect, met kruiden aanwezig en zelfs een afwasmachine (dezelfde als wij hebben). We voelden ons thuis en hebben gebruik gemaakt van de verse kruiden in de potten voor het huis. We voelden ons extra welkom door de druiven en de appels op de fruitschaal. Onze hond vond het ook een hele fijne plek we hebben fijne wandelingen gemaakt en genoten van de rust van het huis en de omgeving. Bedankt.

Nick was very responsive to all queries and made himself available to assist if needed...this was very helpful having spent five weeks with limited language skills. The house is in the mountains and a car is necessary to make the most of the location. The house is as described and very comfortable.

Our experience was wonderful. Jacqueline waited us even when was getting late for the check-in. He showed us and explained everything about the house. Even on a day that the heating system stopped working, they, quickly helped us solve the problem. The house is complete with everything we need for a peaceful and cozy stay. The heating system is very good. Jacqueline and Nick were always concerned about our well-being. Thanks.

We had a wonderful time at this mountain house and would definitely recommend it. The house is brilliant! It is a really charming beautifully renovated cottage in a great location close to Lucca and Florence. We were impressed with the local area, the mountain views and many options for walks near by. Nick was extremely welcoming and gave us suggestions for restaurants and outings. This was a great place to stay and I really hope we can go back.

Nick was a great host. He helped us upon arrival, showed us Lucca and told us something about the city. His apartment is amazing and will always remain in our memories. Idyllic, romantic and cozy. We did not miss anything and we can not wait to come back. A thousand thanks for this beautiful time.

Wir haben wunderbare zwei Wochen in dem schönen Haus in Limano verbracht! Jackie hat uns sehr herzlich begrüßt und sich viel Zeit genommen, uns alles zu zeigen. Danke für die vielen Tipps, die unseren Urlaub noch schöner und entspannter gemacht haben! Von Limano aus konnten wir jeden Tag tolle Ausflüge machen, haben viel von der Toskana gesehen und uns immer wieder auf das schöne, ruhige Haus in den Bergen gefreut. (Der Ausblick ist einmalig!) Nick und Jackie, danke dass ihr uns so herzlich empfangen habt, danke für die unkomplizierte Kommunikation und danke, dass wir uns während des Urlaubs so zuhause fühlen konnten. Vielleicht bis bald und alles Gute für euch!

Nous avons été ravis de notre séjour et avons été très bien accueillis par Nick qui nous a gentiment attendu malgré notre retard. Nick a d'ailleurs toujours été très disponible, et de bon conseil, aussi bien avant notre départ pour préparer notre arrivée, que pendant notre séjour. La maison a beaucoup de charme, la vue de la chambre du bas est splendide ! Nous sommes venus avec nos deux filles ados, toute la famille a apprécié la maison et l'endroit. Merci !

We had a woderful time in Limano. The house is beautifully decorated, just as it shows in the pictures. We had everything we needed and Nick was very close by in case we required extra help. We arrived on a bank holiday and, since shops were close, Nick made sure we had some food in the house, many thanks!!! Our daughter loved the upstairs room with its toy cabinet and we really enjoyed outside dinning in the patio. By chance we bump into village celebrations in mid August, very nice experince! The village itself is close to amaizing walks in the mountains and lovely medieval cities like Lucca (highlly recommended!) and Pisa. We had the holiday we were looking for and would love to go back to Limano again!

Lovely home in a lovely surrounding. We had a great time there. For us this was a great place to start some bike rides (You do need to like to cycle uphill though). I've set the view from the bedroom window as the background on my PC and I can imagine it will stay there for a long, long while.

Amazing place, relax and quiet.
