The Brick Oven Bella Casa
We booked this property last year with great expectations and after our 9 day stay it has exceeded everything we hoped for. Our host Isabella was the best and helped with recommendations and the little things that set this property apart from others in the area. I highly recommend this property and quaint little home to anyone visiting the Lucca area in the future.

Beautiful!
The property gardens and being surrounded by the hills was absolutely everything you would want from a Tuscan getaway. Our stay here was lovely and Isabella was very friendly and accommodating. The only thing that threw me off a bit was the fact that we were told that we would have to pay for our energy usage upon check in by Isabella. This was never mentioned anywhere in our booking before hand, nor after we booked, so to be told on the day of checking in was a surprise. The money was paid in cash to Isabella and no receipt was provided. It was not a big charge as we were barely at the house most days and being that Isabella was so accommodating in helping us retrieve one of our lost luggage we did not question it, and just paid her the €32 she charged. Other than this the house is very beautiful and a major plus for anyone who likes quiet, relaxing holidays. told that

Beautiful and calm stay in the mountains close to Lucca
We had an amazing time at Isabella's beautiful house! We couldn't have wished for a better vacation and hope to stay longer the next time! Isabella was a truly helpful, kind and generous host and we are very thankful. We are a family of four with two kids (aged 7 and 4) and the property was ideal for our family. The fact that the garden was fenced in was also perfect, so we didn't have to worry about the kids wandering off. The kids loved sleeping in the bunk bed, everything was very clean and nice, and the kitchen was fully stocked and had everything we needed. The views of the surrounding mountains were breathtaking and the whole scene was very serene and beautiful, everything was calm and it is truly a place where you can relax. (Despite this, the town of Lucca was only 15 minutes away by car, so the location is just perfect). There are two designated dining places in the garden, which was perfect, we enjoyed all our meals outside. There are mosquito screens on all the windows, so you can leave them open through the night without worrying about the bugs coming in, which was nice. Plenty of bed linen and towels and a washing machine, which is always helpful when you're traveling with kids! We can't recommend Isabella's place enough and definitely hope to come back one day!

A very short review!
This will be a very dull read! It's our third stay here and it just gets better and better! It feels like home but in one of the most lovely parts of beautiful Toscana. Nothing is missing from the house that you'd need and Isabella just keeps adding super 'extras'. Stay here and I can guarantee that you will have a beautiful and memorable experience, and I'll bet that you'll return!

Nothing more to add from last year; perfect.
Well, I left a very full review last year, in which I said that we were already booking for 2023. What can I add? The place is every bit as good as it was, Isabella is a delightful host, it can't be faulted. There's even a new Smart TV which enabled us to watch some stuff that we'd brought with us on laptop and Netflix. It's a dream place to enjoy one of the most lovely parts of Tuscany.

Tranquil Stay with lovely views
We loved our stay at the Bricks Oven. Isabella is a fantastic host! She was excellent at helping us order a taxi and provided lots of information to help us explore the area. The place itself is set in a pretty Olive grove and has views of the surrounding hills and glimpses down the valley to Lucca. We found the bed a little uncomfortable but everything was great other than that.

Gorgeous Tuscany
The property was very nice. As much or more than expected. Central location works well as hub for day trips. Host was personable and very gracious. Cooking facility and equipment was adequate. Suggest host supply some basics, such as a few general kitchen seasonings, dish and dishwasher soap, hand/shower soap, extra TP on site.

After the hassle-and-bustle of the first 2 legs of our vacation (Rome and Amalfi), it was refreshing to be hosted by Isabella in her wonderful Brick Oven accommodations; the fresh air, birds, and overall ambiance, and the hostess with the mostest, were all amazing. We’re already looking forward to our next visit there. Thank you Isabella.

Lovely Tuscany setting
My husband and I spent 4 nights at The Brick Oven. The setting is lovely with a comfortable yard, privacy and gorgeous views of the mountains in the background. The inside was also comfortable with the essential amenities. Both Isabella and her mom ( who shared her delicious peaches and tomatos) were very welcoming, gracious and helpful. Isabella shared information about the surrounding area as well as suggestions for towns to visit in Tuscany after our stay. Florence and Pisa are about an hour away and you must visit Lucca the neighboring town. Suggestions: Do have a working GPS! We had some difficulty finding Matraia and Isabella's mom met us. The town's small market has basics but there is a larger one 10 minutes away. Would recommend the restaurant Severino's right in Matraia- excellent food with a gorgeous view from the terrace. Enjoy! And thank you again Isabella for your help and suggestions.

Immaculate perfectly situated holiday cottage
Isabella was the perfect host, and the Bricks Oven a perfect place to explore Tuscany, our first visit to Italy and Isabella suggested places to visit and what was on in our stay, having our dog with us we were able to to let her off the lead at the cottage as it was very safe, if your dog is small enough to go in a shopping trolley then Carrefour is your place, they just ask for some ID until you return it, the first time we have been able to take our dog into a supermarket! the only problem we had was with the mosquitoes in the grass, and Isabella wouldn’t be able to help with that !,! But if she could, she would have. The air conditioning in the house was fantastic as it got up to 34 degrees on a couple of days, Lucca was a short drive away and we went there on several occasions, it was a lovely walled town and although a tourist town wasn’t packed , we found Pisa extremely busy and although seeing the leaning tower etc was great were pleased to leave. The countryside was beautiful and we took many scenic routes. A visit to the marble mines at Carrera was amazing, the journey through the tunnels and steep hills to get there somewhat scary, we wondered at times if we were on the right road ! My husband went on the tour and enjoyed it , but said that I may have had to shut my eyes at times on the corners...... We wanted to get a feel of Tuscany and the Bricks Oven allowed us to do just that, thank you again Isabella for being such a wonderful host.

The wonderful and cool oven.
We spent two weeks in The Bricks's oven and had a marvellous time. The house and the garden was perfect for us with our dog, the garden is beautiful with a spectacular view and a fence that allowed the dog to be unleashed. In a walking distance there are a couple of restaurants which are very familiar and serves good and typical Tuscany food. The best part of our stay was Isabella, the landlady, who cared for us and gave us the very best service.

tuscany at it's best
my wife and i wanted to spend 3 weeks just enjoying tuscany and isabella's the bricks's oven was perfect. the house is called the brick's oven because it was once used to cure the bricks used in building the local villas. the property is as seen in the pictures no surprises. the house is located in an olive grove not too far from town but far enough to be tranqual. food at the local resturants was great. the bricks's oven is convient to florance, lucca, pisa and cannes was not too far. the best part of the stay was gettig to know isabella and her family. thay are the most charming local family. and learning of the local area from them was the highlight of the trip.

Schattig huisje op top-locatie!
Prettig en net huisje met airco, gelegen op keurig onderhouden terrein met prachtig uitzicht. Fijne overdekte plekken om te zitten in de zon of de schaduw. Tuin met olijfbomen, fruitbomen en veel bloeiende planten, prachtig! Perfecte uitvalsbasis voor Lucca, Pisa, Pistoia, Firenze en de bergen. Lucca op 12 min rijden. Het middeleeuwse stadje Barga op 30 min rijden. Grote supermarkt Esselunga op 10 min afstand. Er is veel te zien in de omgeving! Maar de zeer hartelijke host Isabella en haar man zijn helemaal “top of the bill”. Isabella weet veel van de omgeving en geeft goede tips in perfect Engels. So far, so good. Wij kregen echter flinke pech met onze auto. Isabella is tot het uiterste gegaan om ons te helpen. En daar zijn wij haar enorm dankbaar voor! Hier staat de ultieme gastvrouw, die een groot hart voor haar gasten heeft. Dank je wel lieve Isabella en Alessandro, voor alles wat jullie voor ons gedaan hebben. Wij komen zeker terug naar dit idyllische plekje!!! Liefs, Richard en Anita
