Perfectly situated for exploring the beautiful Garfagnana, & Lucca province, this delightful 4 bedroom house is set 1 hr north of Lucca. This 4 bed stone cottage boasts 2 double bedrooms and 2 twin rooms, along with two shower rooms and a further WC. There is a 3rd shower room accessible form garden. There is a large comfy double aspect living room with open fire, and a traditional style kitchen diner. Outside, is the ‘piece di resistance’ – firstly there is a covered living room leading from the internal lounge, complete with lighting & conservatory style furniture, then there is the extensive covered loggia with al fresco dining & relaxing facilities. The views from here over the private pool & the stunning countryside give a real sensation of peace… Also in the grounds is the private pool of 12M x 6M with Roman Steps for sitting. This great pool also has its own hydro-massage area. There is plenty of space for playing, and a good sized BBQ too.
This partner has demonstrated and is committed to fast response times, the best rates, and a great guest experience.
We are Fabrizio and Lorraine and fell in love with this fantastic unspoilt, green and mountainous area of Garfagnana many years ago due to the amazing views, the wonderful peace, and the real yesteryear, non touristy feel to the entire area. We achieved our dream of coming to live in this little piece of paradise with our two daughters, 10 years ago. We have been letting properties in the area for 12 years (our own properties , and for others via our agency Tuscan Retreats). We also assist friends running Houses in Tuscany with all their booking administration, so we advertise for ourselves, Tuscan Retreats and Houses in Tuscany, the latter of which has been running for 15 years. We get lots of fulfillment from seeing others fall in love with the area and return to us again and again!
Clean, well maintained house and facilities. We loved the fresh herbs that was free for use, the real pizza oven, the fresh eggs from the hens in the pen next to the lawn. The saltwater pool was perfect to spend much time in due to the low chlorine content. Very helpful owner. Several nice small villages in the vicinity and pretty close to Luca. If you like to skip driving theres a train station nearby that takes you to Luca and further. We would definitely recommend this house to our friends.
Excellent provisions in a beautiful setting. A great week
If you like to look at the Mountains and listening to the quietness while the kids are playing in and around the swimming pool, then this is a great place to do it. Lots of kids Space, lots of possibilities for relaxing, reading, cooking. Do go Down the hill to the river. It's yet another play area for grownups and children. The walk to the Castle is a great hike even for children. we were two families 4 grownups and 4 kids at the age of 8-10. Everybody enjoyed every minute. One thing to keep in mind is that you need a car and the roads to and from is very bumpy, steep and narrow which is why trips to the cities like Lucca, La Spezia etc. takes time
Two families with young children stayed for 1 week. We had a great time. Lovely views, great pool, very chilled!
Great adventure playground for kids and adults alike less than 1 mile away.
Owner of the villa a really nice chap.

Everything about Rustico Lamola is amazing - the house, views, location and facilities was perfect! We were a extended family of six with several generations in the same house. As the house has plenty of private spaces, cohabiting was easy. Dinner times could be enjoyed inside and out with large tressles to seat big groups. It was tranquil in the evenings (absolutely silent). Highly recommended!
We stayed here in August 2015 and had a wonderful time (two families of four, kids aged 12-16). The house is great, especially the large shaded terrace and the pool. Friendly guys arrived to clean the pool and give us delicious tomatoes! Also a beautiful location - views of wooded mountains. Lovely and quiet, but still easy to walk to two nearby villages (San Romano and Camporgiano). Lots of interesting and beautiful places to visit within an hour's drive, including walks in the mountains. This part of Tuscany is cooler and more peaceful than the South. We had a great holiday and we did not want to leave...

Car hire essential.
Closest airport Pisa - 90 min drive

The village also hosts the local tree climbing, and zip wire park in the midst of the forest - perfect for when it is too hot to stay in the sun. Take a picnic!

All in all a perfect mix of rural retreat, with a mere 10-minute drive taking you up into the mountains, and the Natural Park of Orecchiella for wonderful walking, unusual wildlife and rare fauna; bocce and cheese throwing, but also a good base for exploring the towns of the area.
