Großzügige, frisch renovierte Villa in der Toskana mit privatem Swimmingpool und Panoramablick

Wir fühlten uns sehr wohl in dem Haus. Die Anfahrt ist mit breiten und langen Fahrzeugen (Kombis oder Van) nicht einfach.

Was wir empfehlen würden, ist die Anschaffung eines Wasserkochers und einer herkömmlichen Kaffeemaschine, da für die vielen Personen die Wartezeiten auf Kaffee sehr lang sind (weil nur eine Espressomaschine vorhanden ist). Eine normale Kaffeekanne mit Filterbehälter wäre auch schon hilfreich.

Pfannen und Töpfe sind sehr abgenutzt und die Beschichtung sehr beschädigt. War für uns kein großes Problem, aber bei empfindlichen Gästen könnte das Ärger bringen.

Aber wir waren insgesamt sehr begeistert von dem Haus und auch der superguten Empfehlung für eine Köchin, die man engagieren kann.

Sehr schöne Location. Haus ist sehr schön und liegt traumhaft in den Bergen.

Ausstattung sehr gut und alles sauber. Pool liegt traumhaft. Überall viel Sonne.

Wunderschöner Blick.

In 10 min. ist man in Bagni. Anfahrt etwas tricky, aber auch mit großem Auto machbar.

Kontakt zum Vermieter problemlos. Antwort kam immer sehr schnell.

W-Lan vorhanden.

Jederzeit wieder.

We spent nearly two weeks at La Dioma in October of 2019 and it was just what we were looking for. We wanted a quiet place to escape and restore during a time of sabbatical from work and other commitments and this certainly was an excellent choice.

While the drive from Bagni Di Lucca is intimidating, after several days we were navigating it (nearly) like the locals. DO NOT attempt a large vehicle as there are several very tight passages in Guzzano just before you arrive at the house and take caution on the many curves on the road approaching. Take your time,,,the locals may tailgate, honk and be frustrated with you but in the end what matters is arriving safely.

The views from the home are of course stunning and the seclusion was welcomed as the neighboring homes are a bit of a distance away. The traditional stone, tile and timber home was beautiful, clean and well cared for inside and out. Housekeeping came mid-stay for new linens and a cleanup which was welcomed. It was too cold to use the pool but we would have felt very private had we done so. The home itself is furnished well and although there were only two of us it would certainly host a large group well.

Dining at Bar Santini in San Cassiano was delightful and we had a few informal meals in BDL but we prepared most of our meals in the well equipped kitchen at home. Definitely take advantage of the markets in Fornoli and Bagni Di Lucca on the given days to collect your produce and other items. The several supermarkets in town had most all we needed. Prices at both restaurants and grocers were surprisingly reasonable with our nicest four course meals costing €30-40 for the two of us! We had a cook come in to prepare a meal one evening which was fantastic and would have fed six people and the fee was very reasonable!

There are too many cute little towns and restaurants to list but one of our favorites was the cliff city of Montefegatesi. Make sure to walk to the top to see the view from the Dante memorial as it is breathtaking!

Most of the locals do not speak English but with our little bit of Italian, Google Translater and a good deal of sign language and gesturing we made out well and it added to the adventure!

If your only experience in Italy has been Rome, Florence, Pisa, etc, we can highly recommend visiting this most beautiful part of this very special country and can highly recommend La Dioma!

One of the most beautiful properties we have ever stayed at. We has such a fantastic week at La Dioma that it was hard to leave the house to explore the local area! Sitting out on the terrace or by the pool taking in the stunning view was just too wonderful. We did make it out to Lucca and Isola Santa however which were both well worth the visit. Thank you so much for sharing your fantastic house - we didn’t want to leave!

Its just a big WOW when you get to this property. There was 12 of us staying for my 50th birthday,a bit of chilling,walking and barbies had as well as a beautiful meal in a bagni restaurant. Looking to go back already and wish we had had 2 weeks.
