Nice house in a medival village

Nicely renovated house in a small medival village. Very spacious and clean. Garden with trees for shade which was highly appreciated during the hot days. Perfect location, very close to Pistoia (very beautiful with lots of nice restaurants). Prato and Florence close by. 45 min to the sea by car. Very friendly hosts. Claudia was always available and very helpful with insider tips. Highly recommended.

Stay in a mediaeval borgo

A special experience to stay in a house in a quiet mediaeval Italian borgo. A spacious house with a large walled garden which offers maximum privacy. An ideal location to visit Lucca and Florence by train. The station is just a few minutes drive.

Excellent séjour

Nous avons passé un très agréable séjour dans la maison de Claudia. La maison est grande, très propre, très bien aménagée et équipée. Située dans un petit village typique mais à proximité de Florence, Pise etc. Excellent accueil de la part de Claudia qui nous a même proposé de réserver un resto pour notre arrivée en soirée. Hôte très sympathique, disponible, réactive. Nous recommandons cette location.

Entspannter Urlaub in Serravalle Pistoiese

Wir wurden sehr freundlich von den sympatischen Vermietern willkommen geheißen, das Haus ist groß und gut eingerichtet. Wir haben uns dort sehr wohl gefühlt. In Serravalle ist allerdings kein Laden oder Bäcker, das hat den Aufenthalt gestört aber das ist natürlich nicht die Schuld der Vermieter. Das Highlight des Ortes ist die dem Haus gegenüberliegende Pizzeria, die von supernetten Wirtsleuten betrieben wird.

Tolles Haus mit individuellem Charme

sehr gepflegt, praktisch, aber originell und individuell eingerichtet, mit schönem Garten und ruhig - für zwei Personen riesig - mit Kindern sicherlich geignet - nur Vorsicht mit einer eigenwilligen Treppe. Auch die erste Anreise für eine Flachlandbewohner überraschend, aber man gewöhnt sich schnell daran-schließlich ist man in der dort bergigenToskana. Wir fanden es super und sehr erholsam.

Le città di Pistoia, Pisa, Lucca e Firenze sono nelle immediate vicinanze. Grazie di nuovo a Claudia e Nicola. Voi siete stati ospiti molto gentili e attenti.

Great house and nice hosts

The house was great for our small family, there were all amenities we needed inside of the historic building. It is situated in an old Tuscan village, we instantly got into vacation mood. It's location between Pisa/ Lucca and Florence is perfect for quick day trips to these towns. The hosts are really friendly and we always felt well taken care of.

Un petit paradis où l'on se sent comme chez soi

Tout était parfait ! La maison très soignée et rénovée avec goût est l'œuvre du propriétaire, architecte. Elle est très confortable et l'on s'y sent immédiatement comme à la maison. Le jardin est très joli, il est un petit paradis bien apprécié au retour des excusions. Le village, avec ses petites ruelles, ses tours et ses clochers, a également beaucoup de charme. Nicola et Claudia sont très disponibles pour que le séjour se passe à merveille. Claudia parle parfaitement bien le français. Lucca, Pise sont tout proche, tout comme Pistoia. Pistoia mérite aussi une visite et permet également de prendre le train pour Florence. Le parking de San Giorgio à 10mn de la gare ou du centre ville coûte 2€ la journée. Dernier détail et qui a son importance, l'autoroute Lucca-Pistoia ne se voit pas et ne s'entend pas depuis la maison. En bref, une adresse très recommandable !

Maison charmante dans un village typique idéalement situé.

Une ancienne maison de village parfaitement rénovée et idéalement située au carrefour des joyaux toscans. Un petit havre de paix, au pied d'une tour du moyen age, où nous avons été chaleureusement accueillis, lors de la remise des clés, par Claudia et Nicola qui nous ont donné de précieux conseils pour découvrir la région. Un jardin agréable où il fait bon se poser après les découvertes et promenades journalières. Nous avons eu, en plus, la chance d'assister aux festivités typiques du village qui se déroulent au mois d’août. Merci encore à nos hôtes.
