Restaurierte Villa aus dem 17. Jahrhundert, privater Pool, im mittelalterlichen Dorf, fantastische Aussichten

Dear Ryan, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted you loved the villa, the pool, and the beautiful scenery — and it’s great to hear the kids had such a fantastic time too. Giulia will be so pleased to know her support made your stay extra special. We’d be thrilled to welcome you back — and as returning guests, you’ll receive a special Friends of Tuscany discount on your next visit. Best wishes, Molly Friends of Tuscany Ltd

Dear Michael, Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts about your stay. We’re glad you enjoyed the views, pool, and some of the historic character of our 17th-century villa. As you noticed, the house is full of original features and antiques, which many of our guests love for the sense of authenticity it provides. The Garfagnana region is quite different from the more touristic south of Tuscany — it’s rustic, traditional, and wonderfully authentic. Many of our guests choose it specifically for its excellent outdoor adventures such as hill walking, gorge exploring, and mountain biking, as well as the fantastic summer food festivals, medieval villages and very affordable local restaurants. We appreciate your comments about practical details — we’ll take this on board to see where we can improve without losing the historic character of the house. The villa is indeed set in a hilltop village, and while access requires a short 100m walk from the car park, this is also part of what preserves its peaceful atmosphere and stunning views. We’re sorry to hear that the area wasn’t the right fit for you, but we’re glad you gave it a try. Most of our guests fall in love with the villa and the Garfagnana, which is why we usually receive 5-star reviews. We do hope you found some memorable moments during your stay. Best wishes, Molly

Thank you for your very positive review of Villa Torricella. This is very helpful for future travellers and we always appreciate feedback. We are delighted that you enjoyed the villa so much and we agree that it is full of character and beautifully spacious for a large family or group of friends. The detail you provide about location and house layout is particularly helpful and you are right to point out that the views are lovely. Please note that we offer a returners discount on any of our 'Friends of Tuscany' properties, so if you (or friends that you recommend) want to return to us, just mention your name and the villa you stayed in before booking, so we can offer a discount.

Thank's for the great review. It's a newly restored house in the first year of renting and we absolutely love the villa. It's a great blend of the old antique house with its grand fireplaces, and tasteful and interesting features. Just one point...all the electricity and gas used for hot water is included in the rental, and it's only the gas central heating which if required during colder periods is measured and paid directly to the owner. The rate is 4 euro per unit of 4 litres of propane gas, expensive in Italy and usually around 40% more expensive than most other European countries. The need for central heating in the low season is reflected in the low rental cost.
