Friends of Tuscany 5 bedroomed villa with private pool and Wi-Fi

This bright spacious detached family home, with lovely mature garden, large pool (13 x 6m) and stunning views.

As well as all the comforts and conveniences you would expect from a quality Tuscan holiday home there is also a fully equipped outdoor kitchen and BBQ and large lawn play area.

Sleeping 8 (+1) with its 2 double bedrooms, a twin bedroom and 2 single bedrooms. One of the single bedrooms has a pull out bed. There are also 3 bathrooms, one of which is en-suite with a spa bath.

This house is very well designed for comfort and relaxation and has a well equipped spacious kitchen, large lounge/dining room, further relaxing space and good sized bathrooms. There's comfortable furniture, polished wooden floors, excellent WI-FI internet access and table tennis.

The villa has a well- kept beautiful mature garden with different areas to saviour the stunning views. There are good sun loungers and outdoor furniture, an outdoor kitchen with a wood burning oven, BBQ, a 'cantina' style covered eating area with a little kitchen music system, and large gated pool with a paved solarium area which receives the sun all day. There is also a table tennis and table football.

Pool opens May 1st.

Perfect for families, there is a grass area with football goals and table tennis table.

The wi-fi is very good, reaching every room and outdoors.

It would also be perfect for a group of friends sharing a tranquil setting with truly lovely views and the wonderful garden space.

The location couldn’t be better with a 20 minute walk from a good restaurant, and less than a 10 minute drive into the market town of Castelnuovo, which has many restaurants and cafe bars, and an impressive variety of shops.

Garfagnana is 'Hidden Tuscany' at its best. With its' stunning scenery it is the best area in Tuscany for walking and outdoor activities. Friends of Tuscany are the oldest agency in the area, and we have close ties with an Outdoor Activities company who offer many international class adventures. We can also offer Art classes with a well known artist, excursions to the Cinque Terre, Florence and Lucca, visits to vineyards, historical guided tours and Italian cooking lessons.

Friends of Tuscany can help you arrange a pre-arrival shopping service, and also a prepared Tuscan meal for your arrival.

Great relaxation in a fabulous location
We had a fabulous three weeks at Villa Cavani. The location and views were stunning and we absolutely loved the pool (which was amazing), outside kitchen and outside eating area. We had great fun making our own pizzas and ate outside every evening. The villa was well equipped in the main (enough crockery for a party!)- although an electic kettle would have been great! Although there are five bedrooms there are only really three 'proper' rooms. Two fabulous doubles and a single upstairs. This does have a pull out bed but it doesn't really fit the room! Downstairs is a room with a sofa bed (very uncomfortable) and a single - when the sofa bed is out the room is totally full! The other room is very hot and not really for an adult. Probably the house is more suited for two families with young children rather than nine adults! The owner was lovely and although she didn't speak English her son did so we managed to be understand each other and even get the vet booked for our dogs. Trattoria Bonini, at the bottom of the hill was fabulous - great food, great value - we ate there four times. Also would recommend Vecchio Mulion in Castelnuovo - not a restaurant but deli with tastings! Overall, we had a great three weeks - an escape from UK in the middle of COVID. We loved the peace, the food, the wine, the walking, the swimming and views - Villa Cavani suited us well!

It’s a nice place to stay
We stayed for a week, it was a nice enough place to stay and we enjoyed the outside areas very much, it just lacked the “little things” like extra toilet roll, bin bags, and other little things we had to buy, after spending so much on renting it would be nice to have all bases covered, nice peaceful area with supermarkets around 15mins drive both ways, the pool was nice although the jacuzzi is old and the water was/got grimy really quickly and whilst the pool was cleaned mid visit the jacuzzi was not, the jacuzzi bath (master bedroom) was awful, we filled the bath In anticipation of a lovely relaxing night, turned on the jets and what came out was black tar like gunk, I had to run it through 3-4times before I risked using it again, all the kitchen equipment was there and then some! The outdoor coking areas were great, unfortunately the table football (one of the things which prompted us to book, as we had 3 teens with us) was gone, we later saw it in the bushes, broken, the table tennis table was ok but we couldn’t find balls in the local shops so used the ones they had at the villa but they weren’t great, so take your own ping pong balls, all in all we loved our stay but the things we expected, were missing and that let it down a little for us, be sure to take lots of sun cream and some pool floats, we spent all our time beside or in the pool. Also take your own hair dryer, there were two I found one didn’t work at all and the other, wall mounted, was so slow it took forever to dry my short hair. Would we go again? I don’t think so. But we do love the idea of a villa, Enjoy your stay and relax, we definitely did!!

The property was absolutely gorgeous. Beautifully relaxing.
The propert was 5* without a doubt in the facilities that it has (pizza oven, BBQ, pool, hot tub, outdoor eating area and kitchenette, football goal, table tennis, table football) and all was to a very, very high standard. Just as importantly the owners were brilliant - we couldn't have asked to meet nicer people. Coneveniently placed an hour or so from Florence and Lucca, with nice restaurants nearby and a stunning view from the pool. Really thankful that we chose this property to visit!

An Amazing Villa in the Clouds!
We stayed in this lovely villa for a week in October. We were 5 friends travelling through Italy, and this was by far our favourite location! You are literally situated above the clouds. The views are just breath-taking and we certainly got full use of the outdoor pizza oven and the outdoor Hot Tub! The drive up the mountain can be a bit terrifying, so be sure you have a confident driver. Once you have done the drive up and down a few times, it becomes manageable. There is a Conad Grocery store about 15 minutes from the villa where you can get everything you need. The villa is fully equipped with everything you need in the kitchen. The bedrooms are a bit outdated and there is really only 3 proper bedrooms. 2 have queen size beds and the other 3 rooms have singles. The 3rd bedroom on the upper floor is a small bed for a child. On the main floor there is a nice room with a single bed and a small sofa, but it does have an en-suite. The 5th bedroom is on the main floor and it very old and small and smells of mildew...i don't think anyone would want to sleep in there... We had great weather and spent most of our time outside. There is an outdoor eating area and a second small kitchen. The pool looked lovely but it is not heated and was too cold for swimming. It took us 2 days to heat up the Hot Tub, but once we did, it was a daily occurrence! The owner met us there when we arrived, she did not speak any English, but we managed to understand her directions of the house. She gave us the phone number of her son, who speaks English, and we were able to send a text message to him anytime we had a question. They made several recommendations for daily excursions to us. We spent one day exploring Barga, about 10 minutes away and even got in a cooking lesson at Cook & Dine with Rita Tuscan Style, a definite highlight! We also drove to Lucca for a day (about 45 minutes away) and drove through the Carrara Marble Mountains to get to Cinque Terre for another day. The location is great for exploring the small medieval villages and is a great place to stay with family or friends travelling through Italy. We will definitely be back one day!

Beautiful setting and well-equipped
Our family stayed here for October half term break and found the house included many extras- hot tub, pool table, outdoor grill, ample beds and bathrooms for 8. The cons: quite a long and winding drive going up and down the mountain each day and, as we had little ones, carsickness was an issue. It took us about 90 minutes to drive to Pisa (from there we took a train to Florence) and 2 hours to drive from the villa to La Spezia. Also, at this time of year and at this altitude, the house was cold and the heating not very efficient, including for the hot tub. Pool was also too cold to use at this season. We were able to buy our groceries at a large Conad supermarket about 10 min drive away in Gallicano that was open until 20:30. The highlight was enjoying our last dinner outside at this beautiful Tuscan villa with plenty of space for the children to play. Thank you Alessandra and Lorenzo

Villa Cavani
Villa Cavani was an excellent place to stay, an eclectic mix of modern and traditional . The Villa was really well equipped, clean and comfortable. The location was perfect with fantastic views across the valley. A car is a must though. Restaurants and supermarkets are not too far away. The owner and her son were amazing, really kind, nice helpful people. The time of year we went meant that the pool was a little bracing but it was all part of the fun, the hot tub made up for it! We would definitely recommend staying here, the region is stunning and would love to go back one day.

wir waren enttäuscht
Im haus war die Heizung deckt, bei 8 Grad kein schöner Aufenthalt. Die Schränke waren teilweise verschimmelt innen und viele Lampen waren defekt/ Kaputt. Das Geschirr im Schrank war teilweise schmutzig und der Holzkochlöffel verschimmelt. Das Wasser war lauwarm. Die Vermieterin teilte uns mit, dass nach unserem Urlaub, da Haus sowieso verkauft wird. Durch die Agentur bekamen wir schnell ein neues Ferienhaus.

A stay with friends
Our stay was great. The view is spectacular, We had some problem with the pool, everyone got an allergic reaction from the water. The Tv didn't work either. Half of the electric lights didnt work and the refrigerator was to small for 9 people, so we unfortunately needed to go to the marked everyday. But overall we had a great stay and the host was very nice😊

Villa meravigliosa, spazi vivibili e attrezzati, camere strettine per 8 adulti
il nostro soggiorno a Villa Cavani è stato delizioso! abbiamo sfruttato la piscina , gli spazi esterni e la cucina. Purtroppo ci siamo dovuti adattare un pochino per le camere poichè la capienza dichiarata di 8 adulti è un po' eccessiva. (la camera "doppia" al piano di sopra è davvero piccolina per poterci stare in 2 con due letti. e una camera singola al piano terra è senza finestre. un po' angusta) la proprietaria ci ha fornito anche una culla e un seggiolone, indispensabili per il nostro bimbo. La cucina è fornitissima e la garfagnana è un posto incantevole. consigliatissimo per soggiorni rilassanti (max 6 adulti!) grazie Alessandra per i consigli e l'ospitalità

Wir haben eine sehr erholsame Woche in der Toskana verbracht. Die Vermieter waren freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Anwesen ist gepflegt, der Pool wirklich schön. Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet. Die Bäder sowie einige Möbel sind etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Der Gesamteindruck ist jedoch positiv. Im ersten Stock befinden sich zwei schöne Schlafzimmer (2 Doppelbetten), die weiteren Schlafzimmer (mit Bad im EG) sind eher nur bedingt zu empfehlen, wurden von uns jedoch auch nicht benötigt.
