Just perfect :-)

We had a wonderful vacation! The place was just perfect to relax (especially the pool was fantastic), but also to start ,trips to the surrounding cities and mountains. Trips to Pisa, the beach, to Florence are doable in a very convenient way. My personal recommendation: Lucca. Paola and her father have done a great job, being friendly, helpful hosts, just professional. 100% recommendation.

Superb accommodation in Tuscany

What a superb holiday apartment, pictures don’t do this place justice. We stayed for almost 2 weeks, apartment is as described but doesn’t show the lovely gardens full of fruit trees and the impeccable condition of the pool, ideal for hot summer days to cool off. Gallicano is well placed for exploring or completely relaxing, walking distance to local cafe, bakery and town is just a short 10 min walk, well equipped supermarket is a km away - can’t rate location to amenities highly enough. Paolo and her wonderful dad Carlo were in hand before, during and after our stay with helpful information, couldn’t ask for nicer hosts! Would definitely stay again when visiting Tuscany!

Comfortable, well maintained property, excellent hosts

The house we rented was called ' Mondolata' and was as shown in the photographs, clean and comfortable. Their guests needs had been thought of with a welcome basket of basic food items, washing up needs and even rubbish bags. When travelling from offshore things like this are appreciated ! The garden was wonderful, and we enjoyed eating our meals on the covered patio. Carlo gave us all the information, advice and literature we needed to get the most out of our stay in the Garfagnana area. Gallicano was an excellent location from which to explore the area and also visit Lucca and The Cinque Terra. We did manage to relax by the pool for a short time. Thank you Carlo and Paola for making our visit so memorable.

Italian hospitality at it's best.

This is Italian hospitality at it's best. We spent a week in this cosy Limonaia appartment - very nice and clean, nicely decorated, kitchen fully equipped with everything you can think of - The owner Carlo and his daughter Paola are amazing, helping you with everything you need. They will tell you everything there is to know about the surroundings, everything you can do etc. etc.You can relax at the garden & very nice pool, both very well kept. You have your own (private) space outside next to the appartment. I can not recommend this more. You have to go to B&B Il Melograno!

Gewelig gastvrij huis

Wij hebben een geweldige week beleefd. De ontvangst, de netheid/hezelligheid van het huis, het zwembad, de omgeving, hebben ons verblijf bijna perfect gemaakt. Locatie ligt dichtbij Lucca en mooie plek als de Apenijnen en prachtige plekjes. Enig nadeel was dat je altijd je wel de auto nodig hebt, ook voor eten etc.

Top accommodate

Het was een fantastische vakantie op dit heerlijke adres. Het huisje is super alles is even schoon, netjes en smaakvol ingericht. De eigenaars zijn bijzonder vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Als je vragen hebt over de omgeving krijg je de mooiste tips. Voor ons hadden ze 2 hele mooie roadtrips bedacht met de mooiste bergdorpjes in de regio. Na terugkomst van een mooie route wacht een heerlijk zwembad waar je in alle rust op adem kunt komen. Dit adres houd ik zeker in mijn hoofd voor een volgende vakantie in Toscane.

Es war sehr erholsam und vor allem ist es eine sehr schöne Anlage. Toll war auch die Unterstützung von Paola und ihren Eltern, welche sehr hilfsbereit waren und immer wieder tolle Tipps bezüglich der Sehenswürdigkeiten in der Umgebung geben konnten (z. B. auch über Pisa :-) ). Unterhaltsam waren auch die Gespräche mit Paolas Vater, der sich sogar in unserer Heimatstadt auskannte! Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Eine sehr schöne Ferienvilla

Wir waren in der Villa Mandolata und es hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Das Objekt liegt inmitten eines Obstgartens. Ein Parkplatz steht vor dem Haus zur Verfügung. Der Pool war sehr schön und sauber. Die überdachte Terrasse vor dem Haus wurde von uns für unsere Mahlzeiten, wie Frühstück uns manchmal auch Abendessen genutzt. Insgesamt ein sehr schönes Objekt. Jederzeit gerne wieder!

Top Unterkunft in einer wunderschönen bergigen Landschaft

Die Anlage ist sehr gepflegt und entspricht absolut den Bildern im Internet. Die Gastfamilie ist sehr sehr nett und erfüllt jede offenen Wünsche. Paola hat tolle Tipps die Gegend zu erkunden und fragt bei jeder Gelegenheit nach ob alles passt. Wer es etwas sportlicher mag mit tollen Wanderungen im Bergland ist hier genau richtig.

Wonderful holidays in Tuscany!

We had a really wonderful break at Il Melograno! A really nice place to take a break from everyday life. Fully equipped house, very clean, a really nice pool and perfectly situated to discover Tuscany. Pisa, Firenze and Lucca are only a short drive away (1h30 max), but also some really nice small villages to discover in the green mountains of Gafargnana like Burga. To top it all, Paola and her family are incredibly helpful hosts! We hope to come back soon!
