Spring holiday Cardoso

The house is situated just below a typical Tuscan hill top village. There are superb views across the valley to the mountains. The local village was friendly and the cafe sold great coffee, bar drinks and good food in the evenings. We were pushing our luck with the weather in mid April but despite cold evenings, where the open fire was invaluable; the days were warm in the sun when it arrived. The house looked after us and we loved the small but friendly kitchen with everything we needed for all the home Italian cooking we did. Lots to see and do in the wider area - or just chill around the pool.

Beautiful property in a lovely area.

Perfect! Lovely renovated house in an idyllic setting. Super pool and gardens and amazing views from the sun terrace. Walking distance to the local village which has a friendly bar with great pizza and pasta. Lots to see and do within easy driving distance- Lucca, Pisa, Grotto del Vento, Barga, hillwalking and national parks. Lovely unspoiled forest containing charming little mountain villages. Owners left wine, bread, cheese and local meats which were greatly appreciated.

Lovely stay

We had a great stay in Cardoso, the house is lovely, the gardens are stunning and the pool is like something from a postcard, overlooking the Tuscan mountains, plus theres a beautiful terrace off the kitchen. The kitchen itself is well equipped, and there is a hair dryer, iron & board, TV/ DVD player, washing machine - so all the amenities you could need are covered. Check in was straightforward and the hosts were friendly, even letting us check in an hour early. Lastly the location is stunning, the views are amazing, plus you can easily walk to the local bar/ restaurant, or drive into Barga in 15 mins. I would highly recommend a stay here, its idyllic.

Great

We really enjoyed our stay at La Capanna. The property is spacious with a fantastic pool and a lovely terrace. The area is very nice, although you will need a car as the house is quite remote and taxis are incredibly expensive.
