We give our greatest honouration to this accomodation - we are still totally overwelmed! The pictures of Casa Pietra cannot mirror the beauty and love for detail we found. The spa area was more than awesome, clean and pure romantic. The mountain view and the close surrounding were incredibly stunning. We found everything that was needed and many more. We are very happy to meet Luca, he is a very kind and helpful host. His warm and caring nature made it easy for us to feel at home. Kind regards to him and we hope to return another time!

Séjour parfait, il n'a tout simplement pas réussi à rencontrer en personne (notre faute que nous sommes arrivés plus tard que prévu). La maison est très agréable, endroit confortable et calme et idéal pour un moment de détente. Luke et Lisa très disponible à tout moment pour toute demande.

It was a nice stay, and i can definitely recommend the Apartment from Luca and Lisa. Everything is better than on the Fotos. Luca was a really nice host and told us everything we had to know. Super!

Wir waren göttlich Casa Stein, ein magischer Ort, wo die Zeit still zu stehen scheint, wir die sorgfältige Restaurierung geschätzt, respektvoll der alten und mit Liebe gemacht, und die Ruhe des Ortes, wo es sich befindet, vielen Dank an Luca, der die Möglichkeit bietet, diese wunderbare Erfahrung zu leben

Casa Pietra è semplicemente STUPENDA. La SPA privata è un lusso unico e tutto funziona alla perfezione. Le foto caricate non rendono l'idea di quanto piacevole e incredibilmente bella sia la location. Il giardino esterno offre la possibilità di rilassarsi, godere della vista e dei profumi della vegetazione. La location è isolata quindi è indispensabile attrezzarsi con tutto ciò di cui si potrebbe avere bisogno. CONSIGLIATISSIMA

Wir hatten eine schöne Zeit in der schönen alten Haus, das so schön rektoratet wurde. Vielen Dank für die Schnecken einladend und den Wein. Wir hoffen, eines Tages wieder.

This was our favourite stay in Europe for our vacation. Despite the long treck up the mountain to get up to the villa it was completely worth the drive! The views of the balcony are fantastic! It was like staying in a fairytale! The villa itself was extremely spacious and clean! It was decorated beautifully and had everything we needed. The little town was so quaint and beautiful to walk through. We will definitely stay here again and have already recommended it to friends and family!

Wonderful house in a very quiet and isolated, for lovers of nature and relaxation. For those who want to relax and enjoy an exclusive residence, all in stone, the result of a careful and passionate restoration.

Oh my god.. there are no words good enough to describe our experience at this 300 year old Tuscan villa. This only happens in the movies. Set on top of the hills, in a beautiful little village of Boveglio, surrounded by few churhes and towers in the hills... with a view to kill for.. and that fireplace and the kitchen... and the gardens! I have travelled extensively and been to Italy many times, but never had such a rare experience to stay in such a beautiful house. I also can not thank Luca & Lisa enough for fulfilling our wish to have some home cooked food one dinner. We arrived at the house late at night and had the MOST amazing lasange and whole roast of pork, with salad and dessert waiting for us in the kitchen.. all this from just asking them one hypothetical question. The host really went an extra mile to make us fall in love completely with the place and enjoy our experience to the full. Dear Luca & Lisa - thank you sooooo much for all of this. You really made it magical for us. I am sorry I was still sleeping when you came to check us, but I hope to finally meet you next time when we come back. I am definitely coming back. Your place is a GEM! Grazie mille!!!!!

Fabuleux !!!!!! Une expérience très positive! Même si, pour quelques jours, notre séjour a été très agréable à la fois pour la position, mais aussi pour la maison chaleureuse et très caractéristique. Le village est très agréable et calme. Lisa et Luc sont très gentils et serviables. Je recommande vivement cette maison à tous ceux qui sont à la recherche de la paix et la tranquillité.

Très belle maison dans un petit village dans la Garfagnana; confortable et très bien avec tout le confort. Dans la paix absolue en dehors des lieux habituels de résidence, mais près de tous les lieux d'intérêt public. Recommandé certainement !!!!

The Maria Elena chalet is truly a gem! Also Attention to detail and spotlessly clean. It is in a great location (in the middle of the forest) so privacy and romance sure !! The village of benabbio still is really close can be reached with a 10 minute walk along the dirt path, or two minutes by bike (cross). For every requirement the host is available and available at any time. It was really a wonderful stay and hope to be back soon! Thanks Maria Elena around !!

First of all, thank you very much for having us at your new place. It is a wonderful house, very secluded and quiet. An ideal place to relax and enjoy the day. The interior is very romantic, cozy and tasteful decorated. We had absolutely nothing to complain about.

This is an amazing place stay! Secluded miniature chalet in the mountains. When you are there - it feels like paradise :) The home is well equipped inside and is even more lovely in reality than in the photos. Maria Elena was a generous host, she welcomed us into the house, gave us her 4x4 car (the last 300 meters to the house are impossible to drive otherwise, but are of course quite walkable) and responded promptly to various questions that we had during our stay (related to local visits, etc) The place is secluded but after a short walk you come to Benabbio village. After 30-40 minutes drive you reach Lucca, with other villages along the way. Toscany offers endless possibilities for sight seeing, both nature and history. We spent a week there and managed to see very little.

Fantastisk indkvartering, perfekt udstyret, meget pæn og ren. Desuden på meget enestående sted! Marie Elena var stor vært, meget nyttigt, klar hele tiden. Hun har store steder at bo, dejlig have og lækker produktion af hendes egen olivenolie, honning og marmelader. Jeg kan kun anbefale, og jeg er allerede sikker på at komme tilbage snart. Vi forlod vores heards i Benabbio :)

место Марии является одним из самых лучших мест, которые мы остались в нашем отпуске 25 дней во Франции и Италии. Это великолепное горное шале, которое сделано со вкусом и в очень спокойной и уединенном месте. Его посреди гор. Мария и ее муж великими хозяевами. Мы ехали вниз из Флоренции в Benabbio в нашей собственной машине, но когда мы достигли здесь Мария вручил ключи от ее 4x4 и ее автомобиль был с нами в течение всего пребывания. Benabbio очень хороший уютный поселок с 2-мя большими ресторанами, которые блюдо из лакомые пасты и пиццы и шале Марии глазурь на торте. Мы любили нашего пребывания здесь и хотели бы вновь посетить.

We verbleven in chalet Maria Elena 's voor drie nachten en had een geweldige tijd. Maria Elena en haar vrienden regelden alles perfect en waren zeer behulpzaam, zowel vóór als tijdens ons verblijf. In Benabbio, het restaurant Locanda Il Cavalindo Bianco serveert uitstekende diners.

Il s'agit d'un emplacement en pleine forêt, idéal pour ceux qui recherchent le calme, le silence, loin de l'agitation, avec pour seuls voisins les arbres, parfois les cigales et les chevreuils. Malgré la chaleur dans la journée, la nuit apporte un peu de fraîcheur, due à la relative altitude et à la forêt environnante. Malgré tout, il y a tout le confort, et pour les férus d'internet il est possible de brancher la wi-fi.

Unser Aufenthalt im Maria Elena Chalet war einfach wunderbar. Wir hatten ihr kleines Steinhäuschen für unsere Flitterwochen gewählt und es war die perfekte Wahl: absolute Ruhe, viel schöne Natur und die wunderschöne kleine Dorf Benabbio. Maria Elena war auch sehr hilfreich vor und während unseres Aufenthalts immer antwortet auf alle Fragen schnell und glücklich wichtige und interessante Fakten über Benabbio und Bagni di Lucca zu teilen. Sie hat uns auch ihr 4WD für unseren Aufenthalt, so dass es Supereasy war zum Bahnhof zu gelangen. Wir werden auf jeden Fall wieder zurück und wir konnten nicht für einen perfekten Ort gefragt haben unsere Flitterwochen in verbringen!

comfortable apartment located in a hamlet very quiet! We stayed very well. The lady is very kind is available

Medicina è un borgo fantastico, la casa è accogliente, pulita, arredata con gusto e molto piacevole da vivere. L'accoglienza, la disponibilità, la cordialità di Maria Luisa hanno reso la vacanza ancora più speciale.

La signora Maria Luisa è una persona molto gradevole e accogliente, ci ha accolti calorosamente mostrandoci subito la casa. Alla casa non manca nulla, confortevole e con tutte quello che serve per passare un piacevole weekend all'insegna del relax e della tranquillità.

Medicina is a magical place. A truly old Italian village.The road to the village is a bit of a challenge but once you reach the car park it's all worth it. With beautiful views into the valley, the birds singing and surrounded by all the magnificent old buildings. Maria our host made us feel very welcome, as did the other residents of the village. The stone cottage was great, with all modern facilities. We were really sorry to leave.

We were very welcomed by Maria Luisa and her daughter Beatrice, both charming. The apartment was like the pictures at the top of a mountain in a typical village. Everything was ready for our arrival (a bottle of Chianti, fresh water and flowers, among others) The apartment was very clean with everything you need. Everything came together for a great stay, calm and authenticity to go. We can highly recommend staying at Maria Luisa.

Hôte très accommodant, il y a toutes les modalités pour bien se reposer. Seul petit minus, la piscine est à 1 km, bien que c'est une balade sympathique (en montée).

The olive grove house is a truly beautiful and an authentic Tuscan villa. The view from the patio was absolutely stunning! Maria was very friendly and helpful with any questions or requests. She made us a reservation at the local restaurant the first night we were there. The dinner was amazing authentic Tuscan food and a definite must! Maria has great homemade products such as olive oil and honey which we bought. The villa is centrally located to many destinations only about an hour drive. We tried to go the the famous thermal baths but didn't make a reservation enough in advance so they were booked. Overall an amazing weeknd and suggest if your looking for a country getaway and an authentic experience!

What else can we say about the Olives Terrace other than AMAZING! This is a stunning little villa with an incredible view of the Tuscan village of Benabbio and the surrounding mountains. Maria Elena is a lovely and kind lady who went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. The villa is beautifully decorated and has one of the most comfortable beds we've ever slept in! There is also a kitchenette with everything you need to whip up a basic meal. This villa is perfect for couples and friends of any age who want to explore Tuscany as well as while away the hours with some beautiful local wine and cheese on that gorgeous terrace. We originally booked 4 nights but after arriving at the villa we extended our stay to 1 week - trust us, stay as long as you can!

The most beautifull view around! Maria's apartment is very functional, well equiped, and clean. Everything is well thought of and Maria has put a lot of thought into every detail in the apartment interior. The highlight is the balcony and garden which has an amazing view over seeing the valley. The town is small and a bit of main tourist centrs but that's a plus for thise who dont want stay in the busy noisy centers. Maria is wonderfull and welcomed us warmly. Thanks Maria!!!

Die Olive Terrasse in der Stadt auf einem Hügel von Benabbio ist einfach atemberaubend. Versteckt in den italienischen Bergen hoch über Bagni di Lucca, ist es perfekt für den Zugang zu vielen verschiedenen Städten platziert und Städte - Lucca (40min), Barga (40min), Pisa (1 Stunde), Florenz (1,5 Stunden) und San Gimignano (2 Stunden ). Der Panoramablick und die Landschaft von der Wohnung waren absolut atemberaubend. Wir hatten das Gefühl einen Augenblick Ruhe und Luft Ruhe aus der Region und wurden von Maria Elena und ihre freundliche Katze herzlich willkommen. Bei der Ankunft wir mit hausgemachten Marmeladen und Honig begrüßt wurden mit dem frischen Brot und Croissants zu gehen, die jeden Morgen geliefert wurden (Stellen Sie Maria dazu, die örtlichen Lebensmittelhändler sie in ihrem Namen bringt). Die Wohnung selbst war schön rustikal. Ein 16. Jahrhundert Steingebäude mit komfortablen und sauberen Einrichtungen. Das war im vergangenen Urlaub vor der Ankunft unseres ersten Babys, und wir konnten nicht für eine bessere Pause gebeten haben. Wir hoffen, sehr bald zurück zu gehen, und habe keinen Zweifel, es einer der ersten Orte sind, die wir als eine Familie von 3 besuchen.

Amichevole, puntuale e gentile.

Our time at Olives terrace was just wonderful. We loved the whole place, the lovely apartment, the wonderful terrace, the garden and most of all the amazing view over the village, hills and mountains. Maria Elena is such a lovely woman, we so enjoyed her kind and caring ways and the wonderful dinner she cooked for us on our last day. We would love to go back soon!

The Olives Terrace near Bagni di Lucca was absolutely fabulous. The apartment was clean, and so inviting. We stayed for 2 nights and had a wonderful time. The garden terrace is absolutely stunning overlooking the small city in the mountains. Each night we enjoyed wine and cheese in our private terrace. The apartment is clean, and the bathroom is modern and excellent. Maria Elena Filippi welcomed us to her apartment and we felt totally comfortable. She gave us great advice on the things to see and do in the area, and was extremely friendly. I hope one day to return.

Such a beautiful apartment in a village high up in the mountains, complete with a very cute cat called Toby. We loved staying here and were sad to leave.

Très bon séjour, cadre magnifique et calme, au milieu des montagnes... Un havre de paix pour décompresser pendant ses vacances. Très bon accueil avec tout ce qu il faut à disposition.
