We rented Casa Scopeti in San Casciano Val di Pesa for a family holiday and to celebrate a 50th birthday plus reunion. The house was fabulous. Great space and the garden,pool and spa were all well used by the group. The gardens are particularly beautiful and we all enjoyed the outdoors, even gave the pizza oven a go!! Much fun was had by all. Our sincere thanks to Marco and his family for organising the wood for the pizza oven, ensuring that the pool was well maintained and for being available to assist us. We had a fantastic holiday and would highly recommend Casa Scopeti. The town of San Casciano is delightful and we enjoyed lots of good meals, cafe and pastries too. The COOP provided all our essentials for meals at the villa. We loved every minute of our holiday. For those who have not experience fireflies, the lucciole gave us a lovely dance each evening and we were enchanted. Living la dolce vita is easy at Casa Scopeti. Michele and Mark - Australia

The Villa Felciai was nicer than anticipated. The entire group had a fantastic time and the personnel did everything we asked to make our stay as nice as possible. It was relatively close to many things we wanted to do!

We had a great week staying in Compignano Barn - the gardens and view from the balcony are simply stunning. On the first night we were treated to seeing a family of wild boar roaming through the garden below. The swimming pool is an ideal size and was kept very clean throughout our stay.
I would throughly recommend staying here - only 20-30 mins into Lucca or to the coast.
Easyreserve were also very helpful in answering all my questions.

Le Lagore is a beautiful villa located above Levanto on the Italian Riviera. It has gorgeous views from the terrace and the windows on the sea view side of the house. We greatly enjoyed our stay there. The kitchen was very well equipped, and it was much appreciated that dish and laundry soap were provided along with toilet paper and soap in the bathrooms. The house was decorated in a cozy comfortable way. Our group consisted of 4 adults traveling with 4 children ages 3-6 and we loved the spacious living room and terrace.
There are six bedrooms with comfortable beds and bathrooms. There is one bathtub and the rest of the bathrooms have a European styled hand shower on the wall of the bathroom- not a shower stall- such that when one showers, the water goes all over the toilet and bidet. This is not to say that this is a problem. The water drains adequately and is actually a good use of space because there would not have been room to install proper shower stalls in these bathrooms. I am mentioning this because my fellow Americans are less likely to expect/be familiar with this type of shower.
The description of the house listed it as 1 km from the beach. This is perhaps true if one were to take the extremely steep stairs, otherwise it would be a 15/20 minute steep winding walk on the road or a short drive with parking immediately above the beach.
The house feels very remote and there were lizards in the living room in the evening making funny sounds. There were lots of ants inside and out of the house. The grounds were not manicured and I had long grass/weeds scratching my legs when I would hang the laundry on the line to dry. The washing machine did not function properly. With every load, we had to continually readjust the clothes in the washing machine throughout the cycle.
However, the pleasures of cooking in that great house with rosemary picked outside the kitchen door, the joys of drinks made with freshly crushed mint plucked from behind the hammock, and enjoying this food and drink on the terrace with the gorgeous Mediterranean Sea stretching across the horizon made up for ants and other minor inconveniences. If you can welcome nature into your life, you will enjoy your stay at Le Lagore and will leave wishing, as we did, that you could stay on for at least a little while longer.
