Casa vacanze Raggio di Sole

The superb setting, like you are somewhere in the jungle of rainforest. No house close by, very green and quiet location. The house/apartment had everything needed for the stay of family of 4. Every room has Tv. Well isolated and even during heat wave the house stayed cool inside, was very pleasant in evenings and nights. Big bonus was washing machine and big drying area! The house has great pool where you can hang out all day and admire the greenery around you. There are parasols to stay in shade and comfortable pool chairs. They also have table tennis, was lots of fun to play with my kids. Possibility to bbq. The owners/hosts are very very friendly and helpful and they speak English. You can pick herbs from the garden to use in drinks or making food.

Beautiful nature and view, newly furnished house with everything you need, very hospitable, responsive and smiling owners. The stay in the house is very filling and charging emotionally.

We have had the privilege of enjoying this truly beautiful place. As a couple coming from a busy and pressured environment Raggio di Sole proved a breath of fresh air and tranquility as location for our 4-week workation. The owners were available to our any request and the hard work they have put - and are still investing - into this place is remarkable. The room had everything we needed for staying and working here. In our free time we would enjoy the sun that beamed on the terrace from 9 in the morning till 7 in the evening. Enjoying the awesome views reading a book and enjoying a good glass of wine. Do realize that the location is beautiful and private, and also rather remote. There is a bakery with fresh daily bread in Popiglio at a 10 minute ride. Nearest bigger supermarket with a butcher is at 20 mins. Bars and great Italian take away in the same town of San Marcello at 20 mins. We have greeted wild pigs and deer during our stay that you can see occasionally outside the fences of the location at the creek. The property is well lit and fenced which always made us feel secure. Thank you for all the great new memories, Elisa and Marco.

Beautiful place with very welcoming owners. We liked the appartment, views, facilities.

Nothing, just one tip: make sure to pin the location of the place before departure. Elisa will send to you via WhatsApp, otherwise it might be hard to find the first time you arrive.

The location is amazing with incredible views. Marco & Elisa are incredible hosts who went above and beyond to ensure that we had a wonderful stay in a property that they are rightly very proud of. We were a family of 4 with 2 small dogs and all of us were made to feel very welcome. They were on site every morning to care for the garden, clean the pool, etc and took care to make sure that they were available for any question or suggestion for local amenities we might have without being overbearing. To be able to visit Pisa, Florence, Maranello, Modena, etc from such a stunning central location was superb, although we didn't always want to leave the apartment and its serene location. Just a 5 minute drive across the valley is a medieval village with another set of stunning views and towns within a 10 minute drive for restaurants and supermarkets. A 30 minute drive takes you to Spider Park, a tree climbing experience which me and my daughters loved, my wife and dogs enjoyed the forrest walks.

What didn't we like? Having to leave, we genuinely felt sad to be going home after 9 days and as much as we love Italy it was mainly due to the fact that Marco & Elisa have created such a beautiful haven in the middle of the Apennines.

Neat, tidy, clean apartment and very comfortable beds in a beautiful quiet wooded area with valley and mountain views. A lovely bottle of local red wine and a plate of delicious mixed biscuits to welcome us was a nice touch. Elisa also bought us milk for the fridge as requested. The pool was delightful as was the sauna and hot tub to fully relax. Fireflies at night and plenty of outdoor living space made for a perfect retreat. Closeness to Bagni di Lucca meant options for eating and ideal for a day trip to Lucca or Florence. We had a very late arrival due to flight delays, but we were still met at the road to show us the way and welcome us to the villa.

The road in to the villa was winding and bumpy but that also added to the seclusion.
