“Beautiful villa, great view”
Recently built, traditional decor. Owner speaks some English and v. friendly. Prepare for mosquitoes

Response from the manager Thank you for your 5 star review! Glad you enjoyed your stay. We are really surprised re the comment re mosquitoes since we just don't tend to get them in this area due to the altitude and the fact there is no stagnant water etc. It is so unusual to get them that it is rare for a house to have insect screens and most guests don't use sprays etc. We will investigate!

“Beautiful location, villa, and pool, generous owners”
The villa is in a secluded spot, with great views over a valley. The house was spotless, well-equipped, and very cozy. The owner welcomed us and was very helpful throughout our stay -- without being intrusive. We also appreciated the carefully prepared information about local shops, restaurants, etc. Overall, a great experience.

“a beautiful property”
lovely rooms and nicely decorated throughout, kept lovely and clean. plenty of glasses and crockery to suit all wining and dining occasions. pool is stunning and not too deep, always kept beautifully clean. As there were 8 of us would have liked more sunloungers. the garden is immaculate and the spacious grounds kept well. Ilario and Maria very helpful and friendly, always on hand if any problems

“A dream come true!”
We were a group of 8 family members and we all amazed with how beautiful & peaceful La Vinca is. We saw the photos online but experiencing it in person was just amazing. The house is beautifully maintained and is equipped with everything you need. The property; surrounding fruit trees, gardens and pool are also well maintained and manicured. It's always been a dream to stay in a Tuscan farm house and be immersed in the beauty of it all, and La Vinca did not disappoint - in fact it exceeded our expectations. It is exactly out of a story book or film. The owner, Ilario, is very friendly and came round on our first day to introduce himself. He came round a few days later to see if everything was still ok but otherwise we had the privacy to enjoy his property without interruption. We have family who live in Lucca who came to visit us for the day during our stay at La Vinca, and they were absolutely amazed with this property. Ilario and his wife have done a stellar job! If you love dogs, there are 2 very friendly dogs that come to visit every evening from one of the surrounding farms. They love playing catch :) Some of our most memorable experiences from our trip to Tuscany were spent drinking our morning coffee on the patio at La Vinca over looking the valley, and enjoying delicious Italian wines and foods in the evening in the same spot. It truly was a dream come true and highly recommend this property. There are also beautiful towns within driving distance; the Saturday market in Barga is a must for fresh local foods. And Castelnuovo is a great little town to explore, eat, drink wine & do a spot of shopping. Tip: make sure to stop at one of the bigger grocery stores on your way to La Vinca to stock up on food, tea, coffee, laundry detergent, wine, prosecco etc. because once you get to La Vinca you won't want to leave! :)
