About Federica Di Paola

I have a real passion for gardening and I enjoyed learning about interior design while refurbishing the house, in 2005. I then started renting out the house and I liked establishing friendly relations with my guests, from all over the world. I can also say I'm in business as I worked for an agency that rents holiday villas in Italy for almost 3 years. Every year I do my best in order to renew the house and improve it. I love the region and my house particularly! I do all the best in order to help our customers enjoying their holiday at La Casetta as much as possible, giving all sort of tips for daily trips, good restaurants and other useful information.

Why Federica Di Paola chose Collesalvetti

Well, it belongs to my family, we decided to refurbish it completely and if at the beginning it seemed to be an Epic venture, it slowly became something concrete. I made my best while choosing the plants for the garden and the furnishings and up to now, all our guests appreciated our efforts. You can see it is not just a house available for rentals, we care about it.

What makes this farmhouse unique

The location is quiet and secluded and, at the same time, close to many interesting places. The views are relaxing, the hammock is my favorite place to relax, highly recommended!

My true passions are the garden and the proximity to a couple of spots where I can do some kitesurfing and sup-

Numerous sporting activities, from hang-gliding (within the farm) to riding, golf and trekking are available nearby. The sea is just behind the hills, Calafuria, Castiglioncello and Quercianella lie 20 minutes away from the farm, it takes 45 minutes to get to Forte dei Marmi.

Unwinding in the Tuscan hills

5 of 5
Submitted: June 18, 2008 Stayed: May 2008
We stayed at I Gelsi for eleven nights with our family of three children. It is a stunning house, classically furnished, extremely comfortable and with its own quiet, relaxed rhythm. We loved the sounds of the surrounding countryside, the children adored the lovely pool, and the wonderfully hospitable family were on hand at all times to help (in perfect English!) with all our enquiries. Federica's suggestion of a typical Tuscan restaurant at Coltano and Il Fattoria at Laura were top scorers with us. The house's location made for easy access to Florence, Lucca and of course, the marvellous Tower of Pisa, which is a must. I Gelsi is obviously a home rather than just a house. We would like to have stayed longer, but we came home completely relaxed - is there any higher recommendation? Thank you Federica, Sabrina and Mama!
Recommended for:  Age 55+, Adventure Seekers, Sightseeing, Families with Young Children, Romantic Getaway
Owner's Response: Dear Padraic,

it was a real pleasure for us to have you and your family at I Gelsi and I'm happy you could enjoy the house and the area!!

Many thanks,

Federica
