A lovely Italian hideaway
Our family of four (children ages 10 and 7) had a wonderful holiday at Casa Ulqini. The house is lovely and cool, plenty of space and very comfortable beds. The pool area is gorgeous, although we felt it needed another shaded area or parasol. There were only 3 sun loungers and the covers were very old - threadbare and mouldy, so they could do with replacing! Kitchen was well equipped with a dishwasher outside. House manager was great - very prompt response with any questions, and we had an urgent issue with the pool filter during our stay (we came home to a green pool!) but they sorted it for us immediately. It’s a great base for exploring Pisa, Lucca, trips to the beach, Bologna and more. The local village itself is lovely with a fabulous cafe, pasties, pizzeria all within 5 mins walk. The chickens close by that liked to explore the land around the house were friendly and made us feel as home!

Great Villa with Stunning Views
Lovely property and well maintained. The property manager Paul was very friendly and accommodating. We arrived late in the evening and he arranged to meet us at the villa with no issues. He gave us all the information we needed for our stay and showed us around the property. The Villa is just on the outskirts of Fornoli and you can walk into the town, approx 5/10 minutes, where there is fantastic cafes, restaurants, shops and a bakery. The driveway is very steep but this is the case with most Italian properties and you get used to it quickly The Villa itself was lovely, well kept and has stunning views from all around the large terrace. The pool is great for cooling down in the hot weather. The outside kitchen and outdoor eating area were also great additions and we used them daily. We found it to be half an hour away from Lucca itself. Great if you want to spend lots of time there.

Lovely villa in nice location
Nice villa, perfect for a relaxing break, sitting out by the pool, having barbecues and eating out locally. The external areas and pool, in particular, were well laid-out, clean, beautiful and private, the only downside being (as usual in the med) the local insects and wasps. The villa is near the river, so be sure to pack insect repellent/sting relief if you are prone to bites. The inside of villa is also well planned and equipped, though not of quite the standard as externally. Could really do with air conditioning in the rooms, especially for summer months, as the small table fans were a little inadequate. The cleaners might also be more thorough between stays, though this is not a major gripe. There is a co-op and several restaurants in walking distance in Fornoli, plus more restaurants further afield in Bagni Di Lucca and Lucca itself. The local area very picturesque and of course Lucca and Pisa are beautiful great for days/evenings out, in particular the former. The only downside to the area, not a criticism because it encourages peaceful holiday, is that it is quite remote to visit the eastern/southern part of Tuscany (unless you are prepared to spend a lot of time driving.) However, Lucca is certainly one of Tuscany's (and Italy's) most gorgeous towns and is very representative of the region, plus the location brings you closer to Bologna/Milan etc. And the Garfagnana is itself visually appealing. Paul, the property manager, is friendly and on hand if needed. And the owner, who carries out ground and pool maintenance, seems lovely too.

Relaxing villa for a taste of rural Tuscan village life
Wonderful stay in Tuscany. Great directions from the airport at Pisa, where we picked up a hire car. Villa had everything we needed - plenty of space, very well equipped kitchens both inside and an outside one too! We loved the pool. The weather was hot every day so a dip in the pool cooled us down. We ate out in the local cafe's and pizzarias. Fantastic food. We bought our bread (and a few pastry treats) from the bakery each morning, and stocked up on fruit/veg/meats and essentials from the local supermarket.There's an amazing ice-cream cafe in the village too - best ice-cream ever tasted! We had some great food on trips out too - not getting on the scales for a few weeks - back to the diet!! Amazing views out of every window. The mountains in the day and the stars at night. Loved the shopping in Lucca, historic walled city with towers to climb and walls to walk round. Ventured to Cirque Terre and took the train between 5 beautiful fishing villages perched on cliff sides tumbling into the sea. Plenty of tunnels and walkways to explore. On the way home we had dinner high in the mountains looking out over the sea an the towns far below us. Fun twisty roads, even better in the dark!! A beautiful part of the world to spend time relaxing and exploring. The villa is finished to a very high standard and feels like a proper Italian home. We got used to the drive, it's a bit steep but gets easier each time. The electronic gates make you feel very safe. The village is very welcoming, people are friendly. Looking forward to coming back.

Great place to stay
We stayed here for one week at the end of July as a family of 5. The villa is accurately described and was very clean and tidy. The rooms upstairs remained cool by keeping the shutters closed and fans were provided for all rooms. Paul met us upon arrival and was very informative and was on hand if needed to answer any questions. The gate around the pool was a huge plus point for us with small children. The kitchens are fully equipped, the dishwasher is in the outside kitchen, the fridge in the inside kitchen. The driveway was good fun !! It is steep but is more than manageable to drive up, just remember to load the boot of your car the right way when you've been shopping ! Personally I would have liked a parasol around the pool to be able to use the loungers with some shade. Fornoli is approx 10 min walk along the road (no footpath) where there is a bakery, pizzeria, Co-Op and a great bar / gelatarie which also served fantastic Aperol spritzers ! Well located for day trips to Barga (beautiful), Lucca, Bagni di Lucca and Pisa. No hesitation in recommending Casa Ulqini
