Villa in 2 Acres: Large Heated Private Pool; 360 deg. Stunning Views; Free WIFI
From Casa del Falcetto, the views are nothing short of extraordinary. In every direction, uninterrupted 360‑degree panoramas of the National Park unfold—vast, dramatic, and endlessly captivating. The sense of space and tranquillity is profound, creating an immediate feeling of escape.
Despite its elevated position, the villa offers easy access and generous private parking, with none of the steep drops or precarious edges often associated with hillside properties. Arrival is effortless and reassuring.
Whether you are relaxing in the lounge, enjoying the serenity of the poolside, or stepping out onto one of the Juliet balconies that grace the two principal bedrooms, the views are ever‑changing and deeply atmospheric. Below lie a small local farm and a charming country church, while further afield, perched high on the surrounding hills like an eagle’s eyrie, are the historic fortress villages of Castiglioncello and Pugliano.
At lunchtime, the local bar in Pugliano serves some of the finest pasta in the area—an authentic and much‑loved local secret. Just three miles away, in Reusa, you will find the acclaimed restaurant Spino Fioretti, where a superb weekday lunch—Pranzo del Lavoro—is available Monday to Friday for around €12, including water and wine, offering outstanding value without compromising on quality.
Situated within a protected National Park, the surrounding countryside remains completely unspoilt. It is often said that staying here feels like stepping back in time. A leisurely twenty‑minute drive brings you to Fivizzano, the principal town of the commune, where you can enjoy a coffee and stroll the streets, sometimes encountering only one or two passing cars. The area is rich in rustic yet charming restaurants, and the warmth of the local people is a constant—always ready with a friendly buona sera or buon appetito.
Despite the feeling of seclusion, Casa del Falcetto is by no means isolated. Everyday amenities—including bank, post office, and supermarket—are located in Casola, just a five‑minute drive away. The same easy drive brings you to Pieve San Lorenzo, where free parking allows you to catch the train directly to the exquisite walled Renaissance city of Lucca (approximately one hour, and reasonably priced). From here, travel extends effortlessly to destinations throughout Italy, from Rome to Milan.
The coast is equally accessible. Within one hour by car, you can reach the beautiful beaches of Lerici and Portovenere, as well as the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Cinque Terre, with its colourful villages, secluded coves, and dramatic cliffs plunging into the sea. A little further afield lie Santa Margherita, Portofino, Rapallo, and vibrant Viareggio, while inland journeys lead to Parma, famed for its Parmesan cheese and Parma ham—or onward to the incomparable city of Florence. The possibilities are truly endless.
For reference, Casa del Falcetto can be viewed on Google Earth at the following coordinates: Elevation: 548 metres Latitude: 44° 13′ 15.91″ N Longitude: 10° 11′ 43.91″ E
The property also features a large 10m x 5m heated swimming pool, with an air‑source heat pump to comfortably extend the swimming season (April -October) Guests benefit from complimentary Wi‑Fi and UK television via Filmon, and we pride ourselves on transparency—all prices are fully inclusive, with no hidden fees.

We had the most wonderful and relaxing stay. Everything was more then perfect. The view and the surroundings was so beautiful. We wish we had rented the house for more days. We will for sure come back. Thank you for everything.
We recently enjoyed 2 weeks at the property and it was exactly as we had hoped - quiet, relaxing and a great getaway from our hectic lives. The road in was not as precarious as others had mentioned and once at the home it’s fantastic. The views are wonderful and all the conveniences one would expect are at your fingertips. We would definitely recommend this property.
We spend wonderful 2 weeks in this beautiful and relaxing house. Tony and Linda are wonderful hosts and have made some small but nice adjustment to the house during the years. We love the outdoor shower, the well maintaned property and the stunnig view with the pool and the mountains. Communication as always uncomplicated.
If you are looking for a peaceful and close to natur place- this it is.
Linda & Tony are gracious hosts and know their villa's surroundings well so all tips were spot on. The villa is beautifully situated with no immediate neighbors so a relaxing stay is guaranteed for those of us looking for peace and quiet. For off-season stays its best to check carefully the restaurant opening times, but plenty good places around. Car with a higher clearance recommended, especially if venturing to smaller back roads.
After spending 3 weeks in Casa del Falcetto in 2020 we were very excited if we would love the place again so much. What should I say? We felt like coming home! The house has everything that we need, the pool is lovely and the view is stunning. Linda and Tony are lovely and welcoming hosts given all the current information you need ahead.
Looking forward to 2024!
It was very lovely staying at the beautiful house of Tony and Linda. Views from the House are stunning and the pool is great. The house is perfect for summertime and perfect for exploring Tuscany. With trips to Lucca, Pisa and Cinque Terre.
We came out of season in end september and unfortunately the weather was not great and therefore the house felt a bit small for 5 persons as we were not much outside. However the heating functioned very well. Many of the restaurants in the neighbourhood were closed most days because of the time of year.
The communication with the hosts was great also during the stay and they were very helpful.
The house was very clean, however unfortunately the previous renters didn’t clean the cutlery and dishes very well.
outside.
We stayed at this villa for 2 weeks and it was in such an idyllic location. The view of the mountains was breath taking. We went in August and it was very hot so having the pool there was an absolute god send. The temperature was perfect and it was well maintained.
We did 3 big trips to Lucca, Florence and Pisa. We drove to Lucca (unfortunately the local train doesn't run anymore) and Pisa without any issues, takes around 90 minutes. For Florence we drove to La Spezia and caught the train from there, again very easy. It turned out that on the return journey, business class was cheaper than standard class and included snacks and drinks! Definitely worth checking beforehand.
The house itself was very clean but did get hot at night, however fans are provided in each room. The curtains are white and thin so if you have light sleepers it's worth bringing along some blackout blinds. One of the beds was quite squeaky but other than that everything was very well equipped and maintained.
There are a variety of larger supermarkets in Aulla (including Lidl) which were handy to stop at on the way back up to the house from day trips out. Agriturismo Spino Fiorito restaurant is definitely worth a visit, the food was incredible.
Overall, a wonderful stay that we thoroughly enjoyed 😃
We had a wonderful stay. The house is beautiful and very comfortable. The setting and views are outstanding. We loved the pool! We would definitely stay again.
Very nice owners and a great location. Casa del Falcetto offered pure tranquility, with deer and kites in the sky. A wonderful escape from everyday life… Thank you, Tony!
Our stay exceeded our expectations. We came for peace, quitet and relaxation and we got exactly that. Everything was well equipped and the view and pool was spectacular.
We loved our stay here. The home was beautiful and peaceful and had everything we could possibly need. Tony was great to deal with and provided lots of information about the local towns for us. We also loved having a pool to ourselves and used it everyday.
Beautiful villa with absolute privacy! Loved every minute. Amazing view, comfy rooms, great pool and just the lovely sounds of Nature. You feel isolated in the best possible Way - and great eateries and shopping not to far away. A car is essential and you Will need to plan shopping as the roads are for the confident driver and it takes approx 20-30 min. To the nearest supermarked. But if you LOVE relaxing, sunbathing, swimming in the beauty that is Tuscany you Will not be dissapointed! And the hosts are absolutely lovely too. Definitely recommendable!!!
Our family of 5 had a lovely, comfortable stay. The property is exactly as pictured. The beds were very comfortable. We stocked up at the Penny Market in Aulla and enjoyed exploring the area. A day trip to Luca and Cinque Terre were amazing.
We had a great holiday. One of the best locations in years. Especially the view onto the mountains is fabulous. Tony is a great host. Excellent communication. The house is perfect for a family of 6.
We have stayed in many different villas in the area , this is the best by far , a view to die for , missing it already
The new kitchen is very well equipped and well thought out also the new outside seating
We would be back next week if it were possible
Hope to be back next year 😀
This home is just wonderful! The house, the views, all of it. If you want a cozy spot with peace and quiet, one with good restaurants around, or a kitchen to try your own Italian cooking in, this is it. And the pool is an added bonus. Tony answered any questions we had and left us some lovely wine. Such a pleasant place to spend a vacation! Was tough to leave!
This property is magical. From the house to the pool very very private to the most amazing view. Well appointed beautiful and clean. Could not fault it. We had the best time there and highly recommend if you want peace and quiet. We went on lots of easily accessible day trips with our car but the train and bus stations are close by if needed. We had some authentic Italian meals in the many restaurants dotted around the district. Can not recommend this place highly enough.
This was a beautiful property in a beautiful location. We had an issue on the first night with the outside lights not working but we emailed tony and it was sorted the next day by a local couple who look after the property. Although we like rurality we struggled for things like bread as it doesn't keep overnight and we had to be more organised or go out every day. The holiday was fantastic and we would recommend this property.

Lovely private villa
My partner and I had a lovely week-long stay at Casa Falcetto. We wish we had booked another week! It's very relaxing with breathtaking views over the mountains. The villa is well equipped with everything you need - everything has been thought of from a well stocked kitchen, BBQ, pool to insect repellent (not needed during our stay), replacement light bulbs, beach towels and linens, etc. The recommendations provided by the owner of nearby towns and restaurants to visit were much appreciated! We especially enjoyed Spino Fiorito, where we had a traditional, very reasonably priced dinner twice. We will definitely be recommending the villa to family and friends looking for accommodation in Italy and hope to return one day ourselves.
