Holiday houses in Apella

We had a great time! The house is large, clean and functional. The kitchen is perfectly equipped, the dining area outside is lovely. The pool and garden are spacious. The house is located in the mountains, it is a peaceful oasis. There is a river a 3-minute walk away… It was perfect. The owners have a restaurant just above the house, we went there twice and it was great (local products, family cooking...). Hosts were very welcoming, responsive and went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. I would 1000% recommend this place, we loved it. Thanks again!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at I Pini, the house was well furnished and comfortable with everything we needed and the view is just stunning, the photos really don’t do it justice! Everything was as described and we had a lovely time there, helped by Cristina and her team’s thorough information provided about the local area and their quick responses to any questions or messages. Lerici itself is a beautiful town with lots of things to do close by, including day trips to the Cinque Terre and Pisa. I am sure we will be back in the future!

Villa Lina was even more beautiful than the pictures showed. The house was clean, had new and comfortable bedding, had plenty of space for our family, and the view was outstanding. The place is very private, high up on the hill, but with the instructions from our host we had no trouble finding it, even in the dark. The driveway is about 1/4 mile, steep, with parts of it gravel, and has several sharp turns, but we made it no problem with the small jeep we rented (without 4WD). Just take it slow. It is about a 15 minute drive back down to the town center of Lucca and the train station and 10 minutes to a grocery store. The back roads are very narrow until you get to a main road so use caution and we were lucky enough that others backed up for us when we met on the narrow spots. The view and seclusion were well worth the drive up for us. If you want an amazing view of the Tuscan countryside, but also a short drive to a neat town and a train station, Villa Lina is a great choice!

The host was flexible with check in time which was amazing. Their home was very clean. The balconies are gorgeous and we enjoyed our morning coffee while relaxing on it. The best part was the bed. Full linens, comfortable pillows and soft, plump bed along with a duvet. Probably the best sleep I had while visiting Italy. I would stay here again if I’m ever in the area and will recommend same to my friends and family.

We stayed for 5 days in Marco's beautiful home. Marco is a welcoming host as well as his parents. The house is perched in the middle of the mountains, very ideal for recharging your batteries in the heart of nature. A river not far away, within walking distance. Magnificent views of the mountains, pure pleasure. An atypical and very quiet medieval village. The house was just as pictured, very pretty and clean. We recommend this host without so much as a second thought. Thank ☺️ you.

Very nice place in the middle of the mountain. The restaurant offers dinner in the evening with local products, and their party, good quality. Convenient because the property is a little isolated in a quiet and pretty location. Thank you for your hospitality and attention.

Beautiful, lovingly furnished house in a quiet mountain village with great views over the mountains and in the morning also over the passing clouds. The neighbors are very helpful and warm! The kitchen is very well equipped (e.g. salad spinner, hand mixer), so I cooked a lot. In Aulla (10 min by car) there are a few restaurants, but more is going on in Sarzana (20 min) and the towns near La Spezia (30-40 min), here there are also beautiful beaches. Christiane was very helpful and quick to reach. All in all, I had a very nice three-week workation - I'd be happy to do it again. :)

... beautiful location in front of a small Italian mountain village (opposite the church outside the castle-like village). The furnishings are practically thought out in a small space, without superfluous items and yet appealing. The location is optimal as a quiet retreat and for trips to the sea and sights: La Spezia 1/2 h by car, Cinque Terre Riomaggiore 1/2 h by car and 1/4 h by train (from La Spezia station), Lucca 1 h by car, Pisa 1 h by car and beach in Lerici 1/2 h by car. Hiking is probably also very interesting in the mountainous wooded area. We didn't do that this time and will try it out on our next stay. Since the mountain slope drops steeply right behind the house, there is a sunny spot only on the small balcony and on the old stone bench to the street. That's no problem with the little traffic and the totally nice neighbors. We felt very comfortable for 10 days.
