About this property

Four storey late 19th century village stone house over c.400 sq.m, five double bedrooms, three bathrooms/wc. Fully restored with white-washed walls, original terracotta floors and exposed chestnut beams. Large courtyards and terraces. Lots of space for outdoor eating and chilling. Thick stone walls mean it’s cool in the height of summer and toasty once the gas central heating fires up. The village is a typical Italian hillside community, mostly quiet, but also passing goatherds, boar & bird shooting, farming as well as the usual hubbub of Italian village life. It’s also a very safe and welcoming environment and our guests don’t feel they have to be too precious, (especially good if you have younger kids), and great, if like us, you love your music! After nightfall the village is totally silent, devoid of light pollution so ideal for star-gazing and chasing fire-flies.

Family and Friends in Tuscany

From the initial contact through to the conclusion of our holiday, Peter was an excellent host. We celebrated a week in the Tuscan Mountains with friends and family from around the world and the property more than met our expectations. A well stocked kitchen, airy bedrooms and loads of space to relax , the Villa was ideal for our get together. Upon Peter’s recommendation we hired Roy and Shirkey from the village B&B to prepare a superb al fresco lunch. Magnificent food and wine were a plenty!! The pool provided a great addition for all ages as our party ranged from teenagers to grandparents. If it is the real Italy you want then this is the place. Thank you.

Friends and Family Weeklong Stay

We had an amazing time in Peter's place mostly enjoying the outdoor spaces and doing short walks to the grocery store nearby. The location is great for day trips to Pisa, Lucca and Viareggio. Only things we'd change are the cleanliness which was mostly okay, but the place could use a deep clean, and 2-3 mattresses should be replaced for better comfort.

La dolce vita in Gombereto

Wir wurden mit frischen Blumen nach kurvenreicher Anfahrt empfangen. Das Haus besteht aus 3 Etagen und Keller. Es ist alles vorhanden, die Küche ist sehr gut ausgestattet und geräumig, ideal für eine Großfamilie:). Der Pool ist ausreichend groß und unverzichtbar gewesen während einer Hitzewelle. Das Haus liegt in den Bergen, nachts hört man Eulen und andere Waldtiere. Die Zimmer sind schön eingerichtet, noch schöner als auf den Fotos. Im Innenhof hängt eine Lichterkette, sodass man den Abend mit einem Drink aus der hauseigenen Bar ausklingen lassen konnte. Morgens wurde man pünktlich zum Sonnenaufgang vom Hahn „geweckt“. Auch gibt es in der Nachbarschaft viele bellfreudige Hunde. Vielleicht könnten Moskitonetze und Ventilatoren noch eine kleine Anregung sein. Der Kontakt zu Peter war sehr nett und stets prompt, ebenso zum Housekeeper und Poolwart. Das WLAN war für Italien und die Berge recht stabil. Wir hatten eine schöne Zeit in der Toskana. Vielen Dank, Maike See you in italy 🇮🇹!

Ein perfekter Urlaub in den Bergen der Toskana

Mit 3 Familien haben wir einen erlebnisreichen Urlaub in der Toskana erleben dürfen. Wer das Abeits mag, ist hier genau richtig. Vom Haus aus haben wir viele Wanderungen gemacht, der Supermarkt 5min vom Haus war perfekt um jeden morgen ein frischen Brot zu kaufen. Stätte wie Lucca, Florenz und Pisa sowie freien Stränden waren alle "nur" ca. 1 Std. entfernt. Perfekt um viel zu sehen. Wer das Rennradfahren oder Montainbiken liebt, ist hier richtig. Das Haus war typisch italienisch - im toskanischen Baustil. Besser ging es nur echt. Platz genug für 9 Personen. Der Pool mit der tollen Aussicht war nach einer Städtetour perfekt. Alles im.allen war es ein perfekter Urlaub in der Toskana! So muss es sein!

Tranquil, beautiful & very comfortable.

The house provided us with the perfect base for our family holiday in Tuscany. It is incredibly well equipped, especially the kitchen, so we thoroughly enjoyed living there for a week with our children & 2 small grandchildren. The surrounding area is incredibly beautiful & we enjoyed lovely walks through the blossoming woods behind the house. The advice provided by the owner Peter before our holiday was tremendously useful & his recommendation to enjoy a meal made by a local chef was much appreciated. Last, but not least, the cd collection at the house is brilliant - hours of enjoyment.

About the host

Hosted by peter antenen

Professional couple with two grown up daughters and faithful hound, based just outside London in the UK. Globally well-travelled, especially across Europe, been holidaying (and working) in Italy for three decades. The owners use the house year-round outside guest rental periods. Eldest daughter held her wedding reception over two days at the house.

Why they chose this property

We spent ten years looking all over Italy and eventually found and fell in love with this beautiful, unspoilt corner of Tuscany. Hot, but not too hot, real scenery, lovely people, loads to see and do, great little hilltop towns, high, interesting and green countryside, skiing nearby….
Lots of Content and a variety of things to do for all the family and mixed groups:
1.Long al fresco lunches in the courtyard
2.Swimming in the pool then sunbathing all day on the decking
3.The evening passagiata through the village squares and lanes (especially if it’s just rained! – very ‘Name of the Rose’)
4.A long day out in Firenze, with shopping at the Barberino outlet mall.
5.The Sunday antiques market in Lucca.
6.Touring through the nearby Garfagnana valley.
7.Barga for dinner, followed by passagiata and gelati!

What makes this property unique

Some more of our favourite things...
8.A beach day at Viareggio, with a seafood lunch in a beach cafe.
9.Going to Lucca out of season for some retail therapy and dinner.
10.Skiing at Abetone, just for the day or stopping over in a friendly family hotel with a gourmet dinner
11.Long day out in the Cinque Terre, swimming, sunbathing and lunching: our favourite fishing village is Vernazza.
12.August Festival in Gombereto – La Festa Medievale: flag-throwers, food stalls, processions and fireworks. Mad!
13. Touring Il Strada del Vino – the Lucchese hills wine route –sampling Montecarlo whites and reds and sumptuous olive oils
14.Morning and evening walks up to the shop, then back round the roads, enjoying the views; about 30 minutes, perfect before dinner!
15.Chillin' with a cold one on the deck watching the sun set over the hills..
