Villa Italy

The accommodation had plenty of space, and you could feel the hospitality.

Het huis is geweldig en ruim. Prima geschikt om met minimaal 8 volwassenen te verblijven. De keuken is compleet uitgerust en alles wat je kan bedenken is er te vinden. Vlakbij het strand en een hele fijne tuin!

First of all the photos don’t do the property justice. It’s a beautiful old building where the interior design is a wonderful eclectic mix of modern, retro and antique which works well. Communication with the host was easy and informative with recommendations of where to visit. It was a lovely touch to have a welcome bottle of fizz and some nibbles. The villa is very well equipped, the beds are comfy (great linen too), one en-suite bathroom, one shared bathroom and a further downstairs bathroom. There is additional accommodation in a separate building in the grounds which has a comfortable bedroom and its own bathroom. This was a great place for our family friend to get away from the larger group! The air con throughout the villa was a great plus. The garden offers plenty of shade and there are various areas to sit together, or to find a quiet corner to read a book in peace. The immediate locality has a private beach within a 2-3 minute walk, and maybe 15 minutes walk to the nearest free beach. There is also a dog friendly beach within a short drive south of Viareggio. There is a geletaria and restaurant a street away. It’s possible to walk to the large supermarket (Esselunga) but a car is better. The villa is a good base to visit other towns. Lucca and Pisa were an easy visit.

An outside shower to rinse off after a quick dip in the sea would be a bonus as the free beach showers were often busy. It would have been nice to park off the street but it is a limited traffic zone and felt very safe.

The location is superb, besides the fact that the beach is super close by, it makes it a good Hub if you're interested in visiting the region. The reception and communication with the host was delightfull. The villa is surrounded by meticulously manicured gardens with a big terrace in the back and nice leisure spots spreaded around, the rooms and the living area are spacious, well segmented and tastefully decorated. The kitchen has all you need for a 7 day stay. There's also a backyard compound with a 5th bedroom and it's own bathroom, for those that might look for more privacy. The whole compound, including the garden, is a overly pleasent spot to spend your holliday with your friends, a stone's throw to the beach.

Everything was supe fine for our group of 8 but it's worth mentioning that while the villa is awesome for 8-10 people, bare in mind, the bathrooms are not allocated individually per each bedroom. There are 2 bathrooms at the 1st floor, one large and classically decorated main bathroom connected to the hallway and which can serve 3 bedrooms, and another individual bathroom which can be accessed through the 4th bedroom. There's a third bathroom (with wc&shower) at the ground floor. There's also another bathroom, outside of the main house and connected to the 5th bedroom in the independend compound of the backyard.

We had an amazing stay at Villa Italy. The house is spacious, very clean, has a stylish interior and was equipped with everything we needed. The hosts were also very friendly, helpful and fast to respond to any requests. Thanks!

We were met at the door (and we were early!) by a lovely host with the keys, she helped with all the practical details of our house - a great start! The house was absolutely beautiful, fantastic style, roomy, modern and airy - the bathroom is spectacular - the showers were great and the ensuits were very useful , there was a granny flat that was extra and the enclosed gardens were magnificent! The hardest part was getting the kids to choose rooms because they were all different and special! The beach front was 2 minutes away on foot, I even walked down with a mug of coffee one morning! There are a huge choice of restaurants within walking distance which had choices to please everyone in our party, kids, growups and a vegetarian. We loved our stay in villa Italy- a little gated castle and a glorious italian break! Thank you :)

It was all perfect :)
