A lot of former guests have given this location 10/10, but we can unfortunately not give this kind of feedback. It is more a 6/10, but has potential to be a 10/10. We have rented a lot of houses and apartments in Spain, France and Italy so we have seen a lot of nice places. The location is nice, but the house and property need maintenance/painting. The pictures are obviously taken years ago, not giving the right impression of how it looks today. A rustic look, but you still need put money and time into the location on a regular basis to keep it fresh and updated.
Pros:
- nice location and view/nature
- Vittoria, the host, is very friendly and helpful
- Stefano, the owner, good dialogue and is quick to follow up question
- nice bathroom connected to the master bedroom
- nice separate terrace with privacy and nice furniture
- own furniture next to the pool
- nice pool with salted water
- quite close to Lucca, Pisa and Viareggio
- some nice restaurants in Camaiore, Caffe Sentale is really good
Cons:
- the bed in the master bedroom is very uncomfortable/hard with no proper mattress topper. The beds in the other bedrooms are ok for kids
- pillows are useless in the master bedroom, no good sleep for the entire stay. Must be replaced with proper pillows (or bring your own)
- lack of maintenance
- the garden is nice, but too big for Vittoria to keep in proper condition. A gardener should cut plants, hedge and trees on regular basis
- the road is in really bad shape the 2-300m
