A BEAUTIFUL VILLA SITUATED ON THE GORGEOUS TUSCANY COASTLINE

We have just returned from a 3 week stay at this villa and had a wonderful time. The villa is very well maintained and furnished to a very high standard compared to some we have rented in nearby Forte Dei Marmi. The Icing on the cake is the wonderful neighbours we had the good fortune to meet, Francesca and Bruno kept us supplied with fresh Tomatoes and other produce from their vegetable patch and their two grandchildren became great friends with our 9 year old daughter and also introduced her to another local family which meant we felt very much part of the local area. The views from the villa are spectacular and you could very easily spend your days here as it is so peaceful. The only downside is you do need a car as there are no footpaths or cycle paths for some distance and the road is quite busy and we did find some evenings it would have been nice to be able to walk to a local trattoria or pizzeria and not have to worry about driving back.

We, an extended family (4 adults and 3 babies) ranging from 1 to 74 years old, enjoyed very relaxing atmosphere of this lovely place. The villa is comfortable and clean with tastefully arranged interior, newly renovated bathrooms, marble inner staircase, beautiful well-maintained garden, big balcony and large covered terrace. Kitchen was well-equipped and we found almost everything we needed for our stay. Rooms are well isolated, so a kid crying in one of the bedrooms did not wake up kids in the other rooms. The neighbors are very friendly and helpful albeit they didn’t speak any English and we spoke no Italian. Unfortunately, the beach is a little too far for a walk, at least with small children. However with a car it was just a matter of minutes. Construction noise, mentioned in the previous review, was not an issue during our stay.

Notes for future guests: The indicated infant cots are actually travel cots with all corresponding age and weight limitations. We failed to assemble one of them. For us this was not a big issue though, because we preferred to sleep with our kids on big mattresses on the floor. Beautiful balustrade around the underground garage entrance could be dangerous for little kids. As it is close to the terrace, the kids had to be watched constantly. Be careful not to damage anything: our kids ripped a door mosquito net, and we were charged 100 Eur for the reparation, We did not find a hairdryer listed in the description. However these are minor problems compared to the overall value of the villa, therefore - 5/5 stars.

We stayed in this lovely villa in Summer 2008. Perfect for relaxing with family or friends the villa has ample entertaining space both inside and out and is in close proximity to local shops (fantastic bakery) and supermarket.

Beautiful mountain views and only a very short hop from the beach. We chose to relax on one of the private beaches nearby and enjoyed the local cuisine in a number of very good restaurants in Forte Dei Marmi.

The owners were extremely friendly and helpful and we will definitely return to this little piece of Tuscan gold.
