The views are really spectacular from every window front and back - especially the back. I was worried that it was north facing but the garden/ pool gets more or less continual sunshine. The pool is not overly warm but by no means cold. Sitting on the terrace for breakfast was a real treat.
The village is really very quiet and unbelieveably picturesque and the locals very friendly. It is right next to a bell tower but you just stop noticing it after the first few rings and then you miss it when you leave!
We stayed for a week and didnt get to explore the local area enough - the scenery is amazing, it felt like being in the Andes. But we did manage to go to Lucca - 40 mins down the mountain (very windy roads) and along the valley which was absolutely beautiful and highly recommended and Florence - 1 hr and 20 by train from Lucca very cheap E10 return each- which we only visited for a day and only took in a handful of the sights - it was beautiful but a bit of a shock with the traffic and hoards of tourists and mostly relaxed for the rest of the time.
The local agent - Nora - speaks excellent english and is very helpful. She cooked a four course meal for us one night and it was gorgeous. A cleaner came halfway through the week which was unexpected and a nice bonus.
The only thing is that it is perfect for a couple or for a family with 2 small children. If the weather is good then 4 adults could sleep relatively comfortably as you would be outdoors mostly but the second bedroom is quite small and has 2 bunkbeds, the kitchen is very well equipped and has everything you need but has only enough room for 1 person really. Other than that it is excellent value."

| "We enjoyed our stay in lovely mountainy Coreglia Antelminelli. The Casina was nicely presented and we had excellent service from the housekeeper etc.
The main drawback for us was that it was too small to move around the kids room with the cot and the house was full of baby hazards. This probably should be stated in the advert and mentioned before booking.
The Casina would be suited to a couple or to a small family with primary school aged children. With this in mind it would be great if they would leave some kids videos and board games etc. for kids to use in the evenings or rainy/cold days.
The house has a funny layout because of its antiquity so the kitchen is very small and poky but the barbeque was a great plus because the qulity of produce in the village shops was excellent.
The best thing about the Casina was the amazing and unforgettable views from the rear of the house and the pool/garden.
