A little about the area

From Casa Capannina you can take a safe walk to the local village of Camporgiano and enjoy a morning coffee, lunch or dinner, pizza etc and when you have the car there is a supermarket there too.

Just across the valley is the stunningly located fortress of Verrucole, which you can see from the garden in the distance, and also the zip wire park which is great fun for both children and adults, and ideal for a day in the welcome shade! You can also picnic and BBQ here if you want to make a day of it.

The local attractive market town of Castelnuovo, famous for its Thursday morning markets, and with all facilities is just a 15 minute drive. This town has bars, restaurants, gelaterias, and a river...In high season the town really comes alive, and often hosts outdoor evening entertainment.

The beautiful mediaeval town of Barga with its cobbled streets, renowned restaurants, Cathedral and stunning views is a 40 minute drive, and often there is free live music here.

Lucca, with its fully intact walls can't be missed for a day out and cycling around the walls is a firm favourite with day trippers and locals alike. Here, spend the day meandering in the shady streets, sitting in the open piazzas, dining al fresco, climbing towers, visiting the Opera (this is the birthplace of Puccini) or just shopping!

The Grotta del Vento, the famous Wind Caves is also a family favourite...

There is lots to do if you wish, but the real beauty of the area is the countryside and the scattering of small villages wherever you go....Just relax!

Beautiful setting
Beautiful setting, great gardens and pool. The house is spacious and airy with lots of different areas to sit, eat and explore. The villa isn't really walking distance to the village and the unmade road can be difficult to drive especially after heavy rain. There needs to be some modifications to the house, it's all very traditional and brown and the gas hob takes forever to heat up (boiling a kettle is a 20 minute job). The beds are pretty uncomfortable but apart from that it was a lovely villa for us to stay in and the owners are lovely and speak a little English.

Wonderful Villa In Stunning Setting
We enjoyed a wonderful two weeks with our two adult children at Villa Loretta. The setting is spectacular and Renzo and Loretta were lovely hosts, very discreet but friendly and helpful. Renzo keeps the beautiful pool and gardens immaculate with a daily early visit. There was a generous supply of towels and everything was homely, very clean and tidy. There were plenty of sun loungers with cushions and parasols and loads of shady spots around the garden and under the pergola. We made use of the various outside areas and the pizza oven but the elevated eating area was out favourite with light breezes and stunning views. We made regular trips into the welcoming village, a short but steep walk. It was very safe, our adult children would head into the village for morning coffee or in the evening to the pizzeria or sports bar. Prices in the village were exceptional compared to the tourist spots. We were able to visit Pisa, Lucca and Florence. A car is essential as the setting is rural but the views from the villa are breathtaking. We spent evenings watching fireflies in the garden, watching spectacular electric storms, enjoying eagles soaring and listening to cuckoos in the wood. All the family returned home rested and we would all love to use this wonderful property again.

Gorgeous secluded villa
Villa Loretta is a fabulous, spacious rustic property with a large, very clean pool and well maintained gardens. Renzo and Loretta were so warm and friendly. We felt part of the family and locality. The elevated eating area with stunning views across the valley was a particular feature. I agree with other reviews, the photos are unable to to capture the beauty and peace of this lush valley. We would definitely visit again!

Our first time to Tuscany
The photos of this villa do not capture the true beauty of the location, the villa and its surrounding grounds. It is so quiet and peaceful and surpassed our expectations. The villa is well equipped and the kitchen has everything you require. The outside furniture on the terrace and around the pool is of a high standard. The swimming pool is the largest I have seen in a villa rental and well maintained by Renzo on a daily basis normally before the family were up. The interior fixtures and fitting our adequate but some may find the bedroom/bathroom layout unusual. I would strongly recommend you check this villa meets your requirements before booking but for myself and my family it was outstanding and provided everything we could have wished for. Lorretta and Renzo really made us welcome and were nearby to help if required. I would return to this Villa if intending re-visiting the area.
