a charming retreat and warm owners
Dear Mrs Sonia, many thanks for all of your hospitality. We all agreed you made the trip very special for us. From the wine you had waiting on our arrival to Mario with the olive oil on the last day and, in between, the pastries, the maps, the dinner suggestions, the pizzas and the roasted chickens. We truly enjoyed the week we spent in your beautiful villa.

Thank for having us!
We really enjoyed our week at the Villa Bicocche, the weather was perfect for us, around the mid-20's with most days sunny with just onetwo cloudy and one day with a nit of rain. But we could eat outside every meal thanks to the covered veranda on one side and gazebo on the other. The pool really made the holiday, with several days spent lazing on the sun loungers reading books, and dipping in the pool. The children really enjoyed the pool inflatable toys as well. Mosquito's weren't too bad, but on the last dayso we became more aware of them so taking insect repellent and bite cream is a good idea. If you have young children there is a pond ( with a fence around with gaps in) so that does need keeping an eye on. The house was well equipped with everything we needed, and felt like an authentic Italian family home. Found a lovely local restaurant ( Antico Frantoio ) which was great value, very hospitable and perfect for a family meal with young children.

Belle maison
Belle maison ancienne, beaucoup de charme . Très beau jardin très bien entretenu. Grande piscine bien sécurisée dans un cadre magnifique, bien équipé avec parasols et transats très confortables . Nous avons apprécié la terrasse extérieure pour manger bien protégée du soleil . Voiture indispensable. Quelques points négatifs : la literie, le débit des douches pas très important et une magnifique ligne haute tension qui passe sur la propriété.

Beautiful old world charm, very typically Tuscan.
The property was very old world charm, impeccably decorated and very clean. The garden and grounds were beautifully maintained and the swimming pool was wonderful. The whole of the property was delightful, as were the owners Mario and his wife , who though on site kept themselves to themselves and allowed us to enjoy ourselves uninterrupted. The property is well situated for day trips to Florence, Pisa, Lucca , all of which were fabulous. And locally the ancient town of Camaiore had everything we needed. The only down side of the holiday was the noise from the barking dogs in properties nearby,but once you accept that and enjoy the bird song there was no problem. The high light of the holiday was an open air concert in nearby Viareggio featuring Andrea Botcelli at the Puccini festival . A perfect end to a lovely Italian holiday.

We had a great stay.
A wonderful stay - incredibly maintained villa. Beautiful gardens, pool, terrace and lounge area. Great area from which to do day trips. Classic interiors. Beds are pretty old but you get used to them and considering how incredible the rest of the experience is, it was fine. Wake up with roosters from a nearby house, beautiful sunlight and pastries at the town nearby. Soak in the pool and eat at the delicious restaurant up the hill.

Wir haben uns wunderbar erholt.
Wir haben mit unseren Töchtern (14J, 18J) knapp 14 Tage in dieser wunderschönen Villa verbracht. Im Erdgeschoss befindet sich die Küche, Esszimmer, Wohnzimmer, Bad und Speisekammer. Im 1. OG die drei Schlafzimmer und ein weiteres Bad. Alles sehr liebevoll (toskanischer Stil mit vielen Antiquitäten) und reichhaltig (auch die Küche) ausgestattet. Die Besitzer, ein älteres Ehepaar, wohnen im 2. OG und sind supernett (zwar nur wenig Englisch, aber kein Problem dank (Hidden by Airbnb) ). Privatsphäre ist garantiert. Das Besondere daran ist allerdings die Außenanlage. Ein großer gepflegter Garten mit Olivenhainen, Zitronen- und Feigenbäume und der große private Pool. Genau das, was wir gesucht haben zum Entspannen und Runterkommen. Das Meer ist ca. 25 Minuten entfernt, auch nach Lucca ist es nicht weit.

Ein wunderschöner Ort zum entspannen und relaxen. Die Anlage ist sehr gepflegt, die Besitzer sehr gastfreundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Poolanlage und der Garten mit den Olivenbäumen für unsere Kinder ein Traum zum spielen. Der Sitzplatz zum Wohnbereich lädt zu gemütlichen Abenden ein. Schade ist, dass man nicht wirklich eine grosse Aussicht hat und auf dem Grundstück der Strommasten steht. Dennoch würden wir dieses Feriendomizil jederzeit weiterempfehlen.

Beautiful cottage in a great location
Bicocche is a beautiful stone cottage located high up on a hillside 20 mins from Lucca. We were greeted by the Sonia and her aunt Giuliana who were lovely and made us feel at home providing us with fresh veg, wine, and olive oil. The cottage is of high standard, spacious, and well equipped. The gardens and pool are fantastic, lovely smells, views, colour, well maintained, sizeable, and peace-ful. The outdoor pizza oven and bbq were great. Overall the cottage was a dream and one of the best we have ever stayed in, would get 5 out. We’ll be back soon!

A delightful stay
Villa Bicocche is situated on a Tuscan hillside with gorgeous views. We had one of our best holidays here with two other couples. The villa is spacious and intriguing. The pizza oven was a huge hit. One evening we had a delicious dinner prepared by a local chef. My best memory is drinking wine on the veranda while listening to the music from the village festival. Fantastic - highly recommend!

paradise on earth
We spent a wonderful week in Sonia's Bicocche Farmhouse. It's in a beautiful area of Tuscany only a short way from Lucca and from the Beaches of lido Di Camaiore, Forte dei Marmi, Viareggio and the breathtaking Cinque Terre with other places such as Pisa, Florence, San Gimignano and Volterra as well as the villages of the Chianti region all within an hour or so's drive. Whilst the villa is in a quiet, unspoilt rural area, access to major roads is quick and easy which all adds to the ease with which you can explore this part of Tuscany. The villa is spacious and intimate. It is well equipped and has a real sense of character about it. It lies in lovely grounds with pool garden surrounded by the quietness that everyone needs to recover after a busy year. The outlook is across meadows and olive groves which we loved. We particularly enjoyed watching hoopoes feeding on the grass and redstarts nest building in the trees! It’s lovely to have a car to have daily trips (or at least to drive to the train station in 10-15 mins) while Camaiore and the close by Montemagno, the villages in which the villa lies, are lovely villages with several facilities and the nearest shops/supermarkets and restaurants if you want to eat out are within 5 mins driving. There is a bus at the top of the road for Lucca, but once again a car is far more convenient. In summary, the description you read of the property is accurate. It is clean and has the real sense of an old stone house. Sonia and Cristina were extremely welcoming and helpful and we would certainly recommend the property to friends and family. It would be very hard to find anything negative to say about it. We certainly anticipate returning at some time ourselves to continue our exploration and appreciation of this fascinating part of Tuscany. Thanks Sonia for your impressive customer care. You have been wonderful.

False and misleading description to lure families to stay at this villa.
This villa was booked through the HomeAway site because in the title it states, categorically, that it is ... air conditioned ... IT IS NOT. The three bedrooms have air conditioning units but we were told, forcefully, by Mario who lives on the second floor that we would have to pay extra for any use of the units. They had remote controls to operate them but they were nowhere to be seen. I assume that Mario kept them and then monitored their usage. We paid a considerable amount to stay here and that money was taken from us under false pretences. Secondly, it states "The villa is immersed in the greenery and peace that the Tuscan countryside is famous for". You would not believe the amount of background noise for a considerable part of the time we were there. The villa is surrounded by hills and they have the effect of magnifying any noises as they occur. When I was resting by the pool I was able to note the following: dogs, constant barking from all directions. When one stopped another started, I never want to hear another dog bark again! The nearby main road to Lucca climbs a steep hill which can be seen from the villa and we had great views of the villa when we went up the same road. Motorbikes and cars with loud exhausts loved going up the hill making as much noise as possible. Then there are the lorries and buses grinding up the hill or coming down, blasting their horns at every corner. Add to that the locals with their strimmers and other farm and garden equipment and you have a recipe for a constant headache. My son had his window open all night because it was so hot and he said that he was woken up by dogs barking in the middle of the night. Thirdly, the advertisement for the villa states that Sonia's aunt lives in the "detached" attic with an outside staircase. In fact, the stairs inside the house also go straight up to the second floor where the aunt and her husband Mario live. At any point they have complete and total access to the whole hose and there are no locks on the bedroom doors. This is a serious security issue as you are sharing the house with two strangers who could, if they wished, wander around the house at any time of day or night. It also meant that we could hear their television blasting out whenever it was on and their footsteps when they walked around upstairs. Both Wednesdays they were up early and I was woken by them walking around over my head. THIS DESCRIPTION IS DECEITFUL AND SHOULD BE REMOVED IMMEDIATELY.

Stunning rural villa with everything you need for a tranquil quality break
The villa is about a 45 minute drive from Pisa airport and is on a rural single track road at the start of the hills in Tuscany. The turn into the driveway is tight but it is worth the effort. Everything you need is here for a peaceful, beautiful stay. The villa is traditional Tuscan in style set in beautiful gardens with several great outdoor spaces to relax, entertain, dine and read. The pool area is a 50 metre walk on gravel paths and is completely private. The seating comes with comfortable cushions and parasols. Also outside was a lovely brick BBQ and in the morning it was magically cleaned by the time we woke up to tackle the task! The accommodation is very well decorated and every room is furnished with dark wood statement pieces that were of great quality. It felt like a proper family home. Outside there is comfortable garden furniture for relaxing and listening to birds, frogs, cicadas and watching the fireflies come alive every night. Mario and his lovely wife were perfect hosts and we hardly saw them at all but we knew if we needed any help we could contact them On the top floor of this large house. They were very welcoming and as we didn't speak italian and they didn't speak english, our online translator worked really well on our phones! The wifi is really good all over the house and grounds. Loved staying here and finding the local restaurants up the hill and travelling on the train to Florence (€8 each way and 79 minutes) , driving into Lucca and discovering the beach that was only ten minutes away Lido de Camaiore. It is quiet and tranquil and you do need a car but we wouldn't have changed a thing. Thank you for a lovely break and we hope to see you again. The Cross Family of five adults.

RELAXING NATURE & HISTORY
Thank you to Sonia, Mario and Juliana for making us feel so welcome and making our stay absolutely incredible! The Villa was even more amazing than the pictures show, it totally took our breath away! We spent the first 10mins whilst being showed around just saying WOW! It was like a high end boutique hotel, with stunning views, and hosts ready to answer any questions and help in every way. The villa is a short dive into the centre of Lucca and from the beach, which is full of wonderful restaurants. We spent a day walking the city walls, exploring the cathedral and its cript and taking the views of the city from the top of the bell tower. We also took a train to Florence for the day, trains were easy to catch and very very cheap in comparison to the UK! And the city was beautiful an absolute must see! The icing on the cake was the special breakfast Juliana prepared for us on our final morning. It really finished our stay perfectly and was so thoughtful. I could not have wished for a better weekend away celebrating my Boyfriends birthday! An area really worth visiting, especially if you book this flat! I can't wait to arrange coming back in the summer months! Thanks again!
