Great relaxation in a fabulous location

We had a fabulous three weeks at Villa Cavani. The location and views were stunning and we absolutely loved the pool (which was amazing), outside kitchen and outside eating area. We had great fun making our own pizzas and ate outside every evening. The villa was well equipped in the main (enough crockery for a party!)- although an electic kettle would have been great! Although there are five bedrooms there are only really three 'proper' rooms. Two fabulous doubles and a single upstairs. This does have a pull out bed but it doesn't really fit the room! Downstairs is a room with a sofa bed (very uncomfortable) and a single - when the sofa bed is out the room is totally full! The other room is very hot and not really for an adult. Probably the house is more suited for two families with young children rather than nine adults! The owner was lovely and although she didn't speak English her son did so we managed to be understand each other and even get the vet booked for our dogs. Trattoria Bonini, at the bottom of the hill was fabulous - great food, great value - we ate there four times. Also would recommend Vecchio Mulion in Castelnuovo - not a restaurant but deli with tastings! Overall, we had a great three weeks - an escape from UK in the middle of COVID. We loved the peace, the food, the wine, the walking, the swimming and views - Villa Cavani suited us well!

A magical location with a warm welcome

We arrived at short notice and the family made us feel welcome and that nothing was too much trouble. The facilities at the house were excellent: clean and generally well maintained. We especially enjoyed the outdoor room which meant we could eat outside every night. The local restaurant was amazing with outstanding food and service. They kindly arranged a taxi for us on our last night which let us sample even more of their excellent wines. There is a super fish restaurant near Conad in Castelnuovo as well as super places to eat ices and cakes in the town. , A great place to stay. We also want to thank Friends of Tuscany who were brilliant with exceptional service and support.

It’s a nice place to stay

We stayed for a week, it was a nice enough place to stay and we enjoyed the outside areas very much, it just lacked the “little things” like extra toilet roll, bin bags, and other little things we had to buy, after spending so much on renting it would be nice to have all bases covered, nice peaceful area with supermarkets around 15mins drive both ways, the pool was nice although the jacuzzi is old and the water was/got grimy really quickly and whilst the pool was cleaned mid visit the jacuzzi was not, the jacuzzi bath (master bedroom) was awful, we filled the bath In anticipation of a lovely relaxing night, turned on the jets and what came out was black tar like gunk, I had to run it through 3-4times before I risked using it again, all the kitchen equipment was there and then some! The outdoor coking areas were great, unfortunately the table football (one of the things which prompted us to book, as we had 3 teens with us) was gone, we later saw it in the bushes, broken, the table tennis table was ok but we couldn’t find balls in the local shops so used the ones they had at the villa but they weren’t great, so take your own ping pong balls, all in all we loved our stay but the things we expected, were missing and that let it down a little for us, be sure to take lots of sun cream and some pool floats, we spent all our time beside or in the pool. Also take your own hair dryer, there were two I found one didn’t work at all and the other, wall mounted, was so slow it took forever to dry my short hair. Would we go again? I don’t think so. But we do love the idea of a villa, Enjoy your stay and relax, we definitely did!!

The property was absolutely gorgeous. Beautifully relaxing.

The propert was 5* without a doubt in the facilities that it has (pizza oven, BBQ, pool, hot tub, outdoor eating area and kitchenette, football goal, table tennis, table football) and all was to a very, very high standard. Just as importantly the owners were brilliant - we couldn't have asked to meet nicer people. Coneveniently placed an hour or so from Florence and Lucca, with nice restaurants nearby and a stunning view from the pool. Really thankful that we chose this property to visit!
