Romantic Riverside Property, small private pool. WIFI . Walk to facilities

Casina Piazza is a charming detached riverside cottage. The property has been lovingly renovated and offers privacy and romance - one can see the river from the large bedroom windows, and listen to the water gurgling by whilst lying in bed.....The river is dammed to allow refreshing dips and there is a small private pool in the garden, with dining al fresco provided by the covered loggia... The pool is ideal for relaxing and cooling off, and if you want serious swimming why not walk into the village and use their large outdoor pool (you will often be the only ones there first thing, as the locals don't tend to use it until the afternoon!).
The woodland location is beautifully peaceful, yet the cottage is within walking distance of all the facilities of the village - a rare find! Facilities in the village include bakers, greengrocer, pattiserie, rosticceria, butchers, traditional shops and supermarket. There a couple of restaurants and some bars too, and a train station for easy exploring. On Tuesday morning this small village comes alive when the little market arrives, providing opportunities to buy local produce, great cheese, and lovely roasted chickens, as well as the usual market fayre of clothing, shoes and kitchen equipment.
Ideal for romantic breaks, honeymoons or for small families, this is a great opportunity to stay in a private property at a competitive price.

Enter house into living/dining room with TV/DVD, easy chairs, dining furniture and fireplace.
Through to simple Tuscan style kitchen, with counter top oven, hob, fridge/freezer.
Also on this floor is a modern shower room.
Up the wooden stairs to two character bedrooms, one double and one twin, both of which have large Juliet style balconies, overlooking the garden with the river beyond. One can hear the sounds of the river while relaxing here.
There are beamed ceilings, and traditional flooring and furniture here.

Outside:
Garden with small hexagonal private pool - ideal for relaxing with a glass of wine or just general cooling off!
Access to river.
Covered loggia for dining al fresco
BBQ.

Casina Piazza 500M from the centre of the village of Piazza al Serchio which itself has various traditional shops, supermarket, small Tuesday morning market, bars and restaurants, banks, station for easy exploring and beautiful river.
The train station has direct trains to Lucca, Pisa and Castelnuovo di Garfagnana, and it is possible to visit Florence and the seaside with one change, and the cinque terre with two.
Whilst in the countryside, the house is well located for exploring the local market town of Castelnuovo which is a 20 minute drive, the gorgeous and popular mediaeval town of Barga which is a 35 minute drive and the stunning walled mediaeval city of Lucca which is say 1 hour and 10 minutes away. Pisa, with its leaning tower is a 90 minute drive, and one can visit Florence in 2 hours. The famous Wind Caves are a 45 minute drive.
Closer to home there are plenty of little historic villages to visit, many of which have local festas in the summer. There are also the lakes of Gramalazzo, Vagli (with its hidden village submerged by the water) and Pontecosi, and some guests love to swim in the river. Casina Piazza is also ideally located for visiting the local Fortress at Verrucole which is a good afternoon out, with stunning views and some interactive activities for the children. Also close by is the Buffardello tree climbing and zip wire park (ideal for both adults and children of all ages with a variety of runs) where one can take a picnic and spend the entire day in the welcome shade of the forest.
The real beauty of this area is the dramatic mountain scenery, and the hundreds of hilltop villages to explore, endless picnicking opportunities, and the pure peace of a non touristy holiday ......

A little spot of paradise
Beautiful setting - there’s nothing more relaxing than the sound of birds, leaves gently rustling, and water babbling from the river Serchio alongside. This is a lovely little cottage for a family looking to get away from everything- it’s well equipped and well positioned with a small raised pool, private access to the river (where you can paddle and bathe in places) and just a short stroll to shops and a variety of restaurants. We flew into Pisa and it was about 1.5 hours drive via Lucca. The scenery is breathtaking and we enjoyed exploring the area. My two sons enjoyed the river and the pool, and the pizza at Il Tavolello! The house was spotless, and the beds very comfortable. The owners were welcoming with a bottle of Prosecco and a lovely pie on arrival! A very enjoyable stay.

An absolute gem!
We loved our week in this property, we will definitely be back, hopefully for longer next time. The local pizza in the square is the best I have ever eaten, and I’ve eaten a lot of pizza! The pool is excellent and the environment is stunning, it’s secluded but not isolated.

Super chilled tuscan getaway!
Wonderfully cute little house--even prettier than in the pictures and location amazing--right next a river and easy reach from the train station, short 5 min walk to town. Couldn't have been better!

Lovely little hideaway
We stayed in this lovely place for a birthday celebration. Great location being only a short walk from Piazza All Serchio square. The owners were so helpful, at the start of the stay there was no hot water for the shower, this problem was fixed within the hour. Would definitely stay at this property again. Piazza Al Serchio is a smallish town which can be used as a great base to tour this beautiful unspoilt part of Tuscany.

Great relaxing holiday location
Great location, just the right mix of summer heat & mountain coolness, in a pleasant village in the picturesque mountains. The property is ideal for a small family, two adults & two children, with local shops in walking distance, feeling neither surrounded nor isolated. The pool was just right to cool off and the nearby river is ideal for the kids to paddle & explore. The owners were friendly and welcoming. Would recommend this property to anyone wanting to explore the region.

Prachtige omgeving
Fijn zwembad in een prachtige omgeving. Het dorpje is schattig, authentiek Italië. Oud en eenvoudig. Het huisje is klein maar prima. Inrichting verouderd. Jammer genoeg geen airco of ventilator op de slaapkamer; de nachten zijn niet comfortabel door de warmte. Qua prijs kwaliteit prima. Contact met eigenaar minimaal dooor taalbarrière.

We hebben genoten van het heerlijke huisje en de prachtige omgeving. We konden het eerst niet vinden maar na contact met de verhuurders, kwam de zoon op een motor ons ophalen. Genoeg goede restaurantjes is de buurt en op 12 minuten rijden een heerlijk meer, waar we heerlijk gezwommen hebben. Hou je van een plek waar je niet de doorsnee toeristen tegen komt dan kunnen we jullie deze plek warm aanbevelen! De honden van de buren blaffen nog steeds af en toe, maar is zeker niet vervelend!

Se si cerca relax e privacy è il posto perfetto. Struttura ospitale fornita di tutto e piscina top. Si dorme con il fresco e il piacevole rumore dell’acqua del fiume che scorre. Cose migliorabili: una zanzariera per poter tenere luci accese senza moscerini e un divano :)

Ruhe und Abgeschiedenheit in der Bergwelt der Toskana
Das gesamte Objekt war sehr sauber, und auch der großzüge Garten, der in die Natur integriert ist war top gepflegt! Die Besitzer kamen jeden 2. Tag vorbei um den Pool zu reinigen. Neben freundlichen Gespächen (Italienisch mit Googleübersetzer) erhielten wir etliche Ausflugstipps in der umliegenden Gegend und immer die Frage "können wir euch noch was gutes tun?". Die Objektbilder sind nicht für die Website aufpoliert, sondern entsprechen den Tatsachen vor Ort! Wir freuen uns auf jeden Fall auf einen erneuten Besuch, den wir evtl für das kommende Jahr bereits einplanen! Insgesamt: Daumen hoch (und wenn ich davon 10 Stück hätte, dann ALLE 10;))

Schöner Urlaub in traumhafter Lage
Das Ferienhaus ist toll gelegen direkt am Fluss in den Bergen. Man kann wunderbar wandern oder sich die schönen Orte in der Umgebung anschauen. Wir hatten leider erst nicht so schönes Wetter und kamen bei 12 grad und Regen in ein noch kälteres Ferienhaus. Die Heizung funktionierte aber Gottseidank schnell. Ansonsten ist alles wie beschrieben und ich kann es nur empfehlen ! Wir kommen gerne wieder .

Einfach und ok
Der Anfang war etwas holprig, weil das Haus bei unserer Ankunft sehr ausgekühlt war und wir mit den vorhandenen Decken nachts gefroren haben. Nach zwei Tagen war es dann gemütlich durchgeheizt, die Vermieterin hat eine zusätzliche Decke gebracht und wir haben uns deutlich wohler gefühlt. Die Matratzen waren schön fest. Von der Nähe zum Fluss und der Abgelegenheit hatten wir uns etwas mehr versprochen. Auf den Fotos sah es einsamer aus, tatsächlich ist das Gelände eher offen und es entsteht nicht das Gefühl, dass man ganz für sich ist. Das ist natürlich Geschmacksache. Der Fluss war gerade ziemlich ausgetrocknet, aber ein Stück flussaufwärts haben wir eine schöne Badestelle mit klarem, erfrischenden Wasser entdeckt, und zum Wandern ist die Region wunderschön. Das Angebot an Restaurants war kurz vor Ostern sehr eingeschränkt.

Mysigt hus men mycket förstördes av ….
Mysigt hus med ok standard och utrustning. Tyvärr låg det ett hus ett par hundra meter bort där det bodde 5 dygnetruntskällande hundar som verkade vara lämnade ensamma större delen av tiden. Detta förstörde tyvärr vår nattsömn väldigt mycket. Vi var t.o.m. tvinga att lämna huset ett par dagar för att bo på hotell för att kunna sova ordentligt.

Idyllisches Ferienhaus im toskanischen Stil
Wir haben 10 Tag mit unsrer Hündin hier verbracht und haben es sehr genossen. Das Grundstück liegt direkt an einem Bach und am Waldrand. Besser geht es mit Hund fast gar nicht. Es ist sehr ruhig, aber nicht abgeschieden. Man ist in 3-5 Minuten im Dorf und hat dort alles was man braucht (Supermarkt, Restaurant, Bar, Apotheke, Bäcker, Metzgerei usw…). Wir haben wenig Ausflüge gemacht, da man mit dem Auto auf den kurvigen Straßen nur langsam voran kommt. Dafür haben wir viel am Pool entspannt. Es war sehr schön!

Fijn huis, zeer rustig gelegen, op loopafstand van het dorp.
Eerste keer via VRBO, zeer goed bevallen. We werden op de hoogte gehouden van de situatie in Italië. Ontvangst door Daniela en Erica. Erica spreekt een beetje Engels, Daniela niet. Leuk dorp met fijne restaurants. Enige minpunt is dat je wel lang moet rijden om ergens naartoe te gaan. Dit komt door de bochtige wegen in de bergen. Verder heel fijn gehad.
