This is a stunning villa. The setting is amazing. The view from the pool with the mountains to your right, and pretty terracotta roofed houses clinging to the side of hills on the left, takes your breath away. The property is secluded, approached down a lane shared with only one other house. The owners communicated well and were easy to deal with.
It’s a big property. The proportions of the rooms are luxuriously expansive – I can say from experience (not me – one of the children!) that it is possible to literally cart-wheel from one room to another. The marble and tiled floors offer cooling comfort in the heat of a Tuscan summer. It is recently renovated, with fantastic modern bathrooms, and a well-equipped kitchen. There are lots of outside spaces, in the sun, or in the shade, so there’s plenty of room both inside and out - you can all be together, or spread out and have some private time. A very easy place to spend all day and into the evening, just chilling out. It can easily accommodate the numbers quoted on the web-site.
The lovely local village, Reusa, is only a short walk away, and is worth a look around. There is a friendly local restaurant a short drive away where we had an easy, very reasonably priced lunch.
We were only there for a week, so we didn’t do too much sightseeing, but we’d love to go back again and see more of the area, especially the coastal trips to Cinque Terre and Lerici.
We had a marvellous week there and would definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to escape to the freedom of a private house and pool, whilst experiencing the joy of being wrapped in the ambiance of Italy.
