Beautiful!

We were a family group of 8 adults and 2 toddlers and had an amazing time at this beautiful villa situated in an amazing location. The villa itself is large and spacious and the amenities are ideal - good size bedrooms, ample kitchen / dinning area, basement pool table room (although pool table has seen better days). The garden is lovely, great outdoor dinning areas with BBQ and a lovely swimming pool, plenty of pool inflatables and also x2 adult bikes and x2 childrens bikes. However one concern was that the pool was not completely fenced in, therefore a risk for the toddlers, although the owner has confirmed this is being rectified in early 2024. You'll definitely need a car as set high up in the hills with a min 10 min drive for shopping or 25 min drive for supermarkets, however there is a tiny village 10 mins walk away with a charming bar for evening drinks. All in all, a fantastic place and once the fence around the pool is addressed, it will be perfect!!

Peaceful and beautiful property

We enjoyed staying at the property as a group of friends. It was very well equipped (e.g. the kitchen had all appliances you could possibly need, there were pool floaties and badminton sets, pool towels were provided in addition to regular towels etc.). The one down side is that some things are a bit worn out - the fence is damaged in a few places, the pool lining needs patching up, a mattress or two could use replacing, a duvet in one of the rooms was a bit moldy... However, none of those things really affected our stay a lot, since the area around and the property itself are so beautiful and peaceful, you have total privacy and have so many opportunities for all sorts of activities in and around the villa. The communication with the owner and the management company was super easy, all of our questions and issues were resolved in no time, so big props to Tamara for that! All in all, I would highly recommend staying at the villa, and we would gladly come back :)

About the host

Hosted by Mairead Lafferty

From the very first moment we have loved Italy and especially Tuscany. We stay at our villa 3 or 4 times a year. About 13 years ago an old ruins came up for sale on 7 acres. It was such a private place yet close to so many villages and amenities. It was obvious that it would be a massive project which would take a lot of time, money and careful planning but best of all many trips. We are forever indebted to our friend Gina, without her love & care for Alla Marginetta this dream would not be reality. It took a good 2 years to finish Alla Marginetta. We live between my wife’s home of Moscow and my home town of Dublin, Miami and of course Pescaglia. I'm an amputee so the heat of Miami & San Rocco really help me, plus the bonus of such a wonderful oasis.

Why they chose this property

We have come to Italy on so many holidays and in the last 20 years always seem to gravitate to Pescaglia. Alla Marginetta was our first attempt at building a home away from home. Alla Marginetta has been a real project of love and care, we would do it all over again in a heartbeat. We picked the area as we particularly liked Lucca and Pescaglia as it is not overrun by tourists as other parts can be and the locals are very friendly. Also, the weather is really good, it is hot but not too hot. When we stay we have so much to see and do while not driving too far, plus when we want silence this is the best place to hideaway.

What makes this property unique

Alla Marginetta is hidden away and the closeness to nature is magical. You are nestled in the forest and sitting in the garden you can hear the flow of the river below, it is so soothing. For people with young Children you can always see them in the play area while older children can walk the hills and mountains. There is a walking track that passes the Villa which even the locals like to walk. Fishing is just below if you wish. Within a few minutes you have two little villages and then just past them are the towns of Fabbriche di Vallico and Pescaglia plus more. Within about 1 hour is Massa, Viageggio and Pisa for great days out. Florence is also a great day (or 2) out. For those wishing to go to Florence, Sienna, Rome or Milan are still reachable to both, we go all the time.
