Holiday houses in Villaggio degli Aracci

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!

Unfortunately, our stay was very eventful, and Athos advised us well and was always very responsive. The people of the village of Noce are great: special mentions for the ladies of the bar and the grocery store: Vanna, Valentina and Monica! They were so warm and friendly! Also go to the village restaurant: friendly atmosphere and excellent pizzas! In short, we found a beautiful home with a perfect host, great neighbors, a picture-perfect village atmosphere! We don't speak Italian, but we tried, and the more we try, the more we want to learn! A place we were unable to explore as planned due to circumstances, but where we would like to be able to return. I'll stop or Athos will have no more availability for the year!

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!

Francesca and her kind family have created a once-in-a-lifetime, soul-grounding experience in this beautifully restored 14th-century hillside retreat in Portovenere. We loved every minute of our six-night stay. From the mind-blowing views and steep, invigorating hikes to romantic evenings sipping homemade, earthy concoctions thoughtfully left for us—it was pure magic. We were welcomed with fragrant bundles of fresh lemons, rosemary, sage, and thyme, a gesture that set the tone for the care and warmth we felt throughout. The bed was incredibly comfortable, making our rest as memorable as our adventures. We especially loved our daily rocky hike down to the charming village, and one day we even rented a dinghy to explore the surrounding islands—an unforgettable way to soak in the coastal beauty. This place is beyond gorgeous—truly a slice of heaven.

Wow! 🤩 From the moment we arrived, we knew we had picked a wonderful spot. Our host could not have been more kind and the apartment was one of the most special places we have ever been. Peaceful serene with a spectacular view we hope to be able to enjoy again soon. All of this just minutes from Cinque’s beautiful and popular towns. Rent this apartment with confidence, the host, the property and the panoramic views are each really next level! A+ all the way around! This was the highlight of our long European trip. Viva Italia!

This is my third visit to the Lucca area, but my first time to stay inside the city walls. Fabrizio’s apartment is perfect with respect to location, style, and quality. The terrace is such a haven. Any meals we cooked were eaten out there, and a glass of wine in the evening is a must while you listen to the lively vibe of Lucca.

We had a very nice week at 6 with 2 teenagers and 2 children. Lerici which is 2 km away is a good starting point to visit the 5 Terres by boat. Lerici and Tellaro are also very nice to visit. The accommodation is calm and comfortable. The different terraces are pleasant.

Isabella is as amazing as her beautiful apartment. The space took our breath away. Moneglia is a charming town with a train station and access to CT is easy. The apartment is a good walk uphill of maybe 20 minutes. Every one of Isabella's suggestions were fabulous: excellent taxi driver/service (Federico!), superb restaurants, information on ferries, trains, and other means of transport. She was such a gracious host, outstanding communication, who went over and above in all things. Her place was also exceedingly clean with beautiful bathrooms and excellent water pressure, really comfortable beds, effective air conditioning, and useful items in the kitchen. We are already dreaming of a return!
