Its been a great base for us to explore Tuscany. Local restaurant is fantastic. Extensive sampling shows gelati in Barga was the best for us. Restaurant Adriana on right side of road to Lucca also fantastic! Thanks for a great stay here! S H, S &Z (Sept 2009)"

| "We have all really enjoyed our visit here. Nozzano Castello is truly beautiful and we were very lucky to be here during the annual medieval festival - it was great fun! We also managed very successfully to tour around this part of Tuscany without a car and really loved the walk back from the train station in the evenings as the view of the town from there is breathtaking! Like many of your other visitors we adored your local restaurant - the food there is devine. We also made use of the local bread shop in the square, the butcher and the touring fish van man and vegi van. And thanks for leaving out Poppy's toys, they helped to keep 'S' entertained! Best of Luck, A,I,S & C (Sept 09)"

| "A beautifully situated house, just on the outskirts if Lucca. We travelled by bus and train, but we would probably hire a car next time. The house is beautifully decorated, with a very pretty garden. Dorothy was very helpful, and was always on hand with any questions/queries that we had. We would definitely recomment the welcome basket, especially after a long journey!!!
We would definitely recommend this holiday to friends and family, and hope to return in the near future!"

All local beaches are super and great for young children. Local pizzeria is of a very high standard. The only downside to our holiday were those pesky mozzies!! Keep spraying the VAPE!

| "We have had a fantastic holiday in Tuscany - the house has been perfect. It ha been a great location to explore Lucca, Pisa and Florence. Thanks for all your advice and suggestions - the 'White Sands' beach and Mountain Pools at Massa were amazing! We would recommend 'Antica Osteria del Sole' pizzeria in Montelupo - great pizza! Spray the VAPE for hassle free al fresco dining. S, E, W & J Aug 2009 (Norfolk, UK)"

| "Nozzano Castello and its surroundings have certainly made an impression on us, we can't wait to return! Thank you so much to Dorothy and to Poppy for all your advice, and help in our medical hour of need! Viareggio is a must, as is a bike ride around Lucca's walls. We're now packed for the next leg of our journey, Perugia! We'll keep you updat ed. S&I , Chester, UK (July 2009)"

| "We had an enjoyable holiday at Nozzano Castello, which is ideally situated for exploring beautiful Tuscany. The house itself was comfortable, we paid for the welcome basket, which was superb and much appreciated - thank you Dorothy!. The advice and information packs provided by Dorothy are excellent and invaluable. As were all the extras for the children, such as travel cot, bed guard, stairgates and highchair not forgetting the toys and DVDs - thank you Poppy.
Bedrooms are spacious, the kitchen has everything and more that you could possibly need and the front room had a large tv, hifi, dvd etc.
Lucca is only a few miles away, with lots of amenities, and the local supermarket has a vast array of food (and other luxuries!) at similar prices to the UK.
There is an Italian restaurant within a 2 minute walk, which we found to serve amazing food with superb service.
All in all we enjoyed our first taste of Tuscany, and exploring the area, with still lots to see, and found the house to be good base and good value for money."

Thanks so much for the welcome, we feel at home here. Even though it rained heavily for 5 days, we kept getting lost, and we lost L in Lucca town for 3 hrs, we loved the area so much we are hoping to buy a house in the mountains, so that L and C can keep coming back to see Poppy. Thanks for all your help. See you soon hopefully! (Rhys family. 2008. Wales)"

We've visited Florence, Pisa, Pistoia, San Gimignano, Montecatini, Collodi and so on. We enjoyed "A night at the Opera" to pay homage to your wonderful Puccini. The acoustics are amazing. This week seems to have flown by and we go back to cold windy weather, wish we could take some sunshine home with us. (Stark family. 2008. UK)."

We visited many places, including the busy town of Pisa, and Pistoia is a very interesting place to visit. The local cafe/pub is very friendly (beside the Post Office). Staying near Barga next week, so it will be a change and hopefully just as nice as here! (family Graham. 2008. Scotland),"

| "Wonderful welcome, beautiful house, lovely village and not enough days! Despite broken arm and local transport we went everywhere we had planned. Easy reach of Pisa, Viareggio and Florence - all worth a visit or two, especially Florence. Thank you for your kindness and advice - and Poppy for the shells! Love to come back - so much more to see!! We really think that Nozzano is a real gem and by are the prettiest village we have seen. We hope the new visitors enjoy the stay as much as we did. Finally, we would fully recommend anyone to stay in your Tuscan Base and enjoy a beautiful part of the world. (Watkins family, 2007. UK)"

It's a great location - we have loved visiting Lucca, the beach and Pisa, and there is much more we couldn't fit in. Florence had a lovely time with the garden and Poppy's toys... and when she is happy, we are happy! Pizzas from Il Borghetto are great for a night in and Villa Bongi is a superb restaurant - very hightly recommended for future guests. C, R and F. London."

| "Thank you for a very lovely stay at your wonderful house. It's truly a perfect place for visiting some of the most interesting places in Tuscany. Pisa & Firenze are very beautiful - bit crowded in the season. In Lucca you don't feel the tourist pressure that hard - and its a very charming city. A trip to the Aquapark in Cesina was needed (for the girls). For dinner we can fully recommend Il Borghetto especially their dinner "a la casa". Finally we can fully recommend your charming house and thank you very much for your kindness and good advice. Best wishes, M, M, E and P. Denmark."

We also visited nearby beaches at Torre de Lago and Viareggio. However, the boys found the swimming pool just down the road to be great fun with its slide and diving facilities. Cost of living here is very reasonable and we highly recommend your house as a base for exploring Tuscany. By the way Nozzano Castello is a charming and friendly village and Lucca is a beautiful town. Best wishes J, J, C and S. Ireland."

| "A lovely house in a lovely village only a few miles away from Lucca. Very clean and ample room for me, my wife and two little boys. It really was like a home from home and as it rained most of the time we were in Italy we were so grateful to have such a home – because it did not matter about the weather. The bedrooms were - as was the living room – very comfortable. The Sky Tv and DVD’s kept the boys amused early in the day. Dorothy – the owner – was at hand to advise us on everything and even took the boys with her and her dear daughter Poppy to the local Halloween Party giving us a few hours rest. Nozzano was a great base for us less than half an hour from Pisa and only a few minutes from Lucca where there were regular trains to Florence. You have to try the local restaurant in Nozzano - only a stone’s throw from the house with good food and a good Italian welcome.
By the end of our week we had become friends with Dorothy and our boys loved their time playing with Poppy.
In all we had a fantastic time in Italy and so glad we chose this house as our accommodation for the week.

| "A lovelly typical tuscan town house, the middle two stories of which make up the holiday home. Access is via a private shaded garden where we sat and chatted through the hottest part of the day. One end of the garden is the foot of the shear wall up to the castle. The house has all the charm and character for which we hoped, plus a large telly with "Sky" for the children.
Dorothy the owner lives close by and was on hand to be helpful (with advice or translations etc), though never at all intrusive. Dorothy, you are a star.
Its about 4 miles into the beautiful medieval walled city of Lucca which we visited most evenings to listen to the players and singers and perhaps enjoy a glass of juice (?). Half an hour to the airport or tower at Pisa, less than an hours drive to Florence and a bit over the hour to San Giminiano. All very much worth the treck.
Its possible to get by without a car as Nozzano is well served with buses and even a railway station, but there were six of us so we hired a car.
We thouroughly recommend this house, this village, the area, the country.
