Tuscan Tranquility
We stayed here as a family of 6 adults - 3 generations and it was fantastic for everyone. The villa is equipped to a high standard , and is kept beautifully clean and tidy by Loriana and her husband. The gardens and pool are special- a real treat to wander from the shade of the wrap around terrace for a dip! It was wonderful to eat outside for every meal we had at the villa - surrounded by peace and nothing but the noises of birds - we spotted deer on the grounds several times which was wonderful. We made use of both the bbq and the pizza oven - great fun family evenings. Some great restaurants in and around Castelnuovo but you will need a car to get around. We are already planning our return next year - thank you Tuscan Retreats

Second visit - FANTASTIC!!!
This was our second visit to Casa Eli. Once again, we were not disappointed. If possible, this visit was even better. Weather was little dodgy for the first few days, but it did not spoil our time. Owners were very welcoming again. We hope to return again.

A fab villa
We are currently staying here and think it is great for the below reasons 1) The house is large and spacious (can comfortable accomodate 3 couples or a family. There are 2 large rooms with a double bed and 1 room with twin beds, a large well supplied kitchen and nice living room). 2) Pool and outdoor area, is very large and there is a BBQ 3) Close to supermarkets and Lucca/Barga I would recommend this property as comfortable house for a group of people/family.

Fantastic Villa with large pool
The area is so peaceful & relaxing. The pool is fantastic and gardens are lovely. There is a lot of room for the kids to play games on the very large grass areas away from the pool. We met the owners Loriana and Alessandro on days when cleaning house and pool are done. They are really friendly and helpful people. I highly recommend this villa if you are after a lovely, spacious villa with great pool and outdoor space. The restaurant in Pieve -20 mins walk (Il Pozzo) is very good, we haven't found anything better for us in terms of good service / food / price. Great pizza ! Recommend you book any evening as also very popular with locals.

Great villa in a secluded location
We had a great 2 week holiday in this spacious villa that's in a secluded location, but still close to a town with amenities. We loved the pool and the pizza oven.

Fantastic Family Holiday
The villa and grounds are quite stunning, this will be our second visit to this villa, the pool has been recently moved and is a great sun spot if your looking for a tan. Also good as we can sit on the veranda and let the kids have a good splash about without the worry (The picture here - the pool is now directly in front of the veranda). The area itself is very quite and almost tranquil. We even had some wild dear come in the garden - Fantastic! (when I say the garden, it was within the grounds way up by the trees, but still an awesome sight at dusk!!) There is a stream to the rear of the property which we took the kids down, they loved it!

Sehr schönes Ferienhaus, immer wieder gern!
Das Ferienhaus liegt sehr schön gelegen zwischen Wald und angrenzenden Wiesen. Der Pool ist eine Wucht! Sauber und von der Sonne auf angenehme Temperaturen gebracht, nicht zu kalt, sondern immer eine Erfrischung. Wir haben jeden Morgen auf der Terrasse gefrühstückt Mittags oder am Abend gegrillt, es war wunderbar! Der Anfahrtsweg ist beim ersten Besuch ein wenig gewöhnungsbedürftig. Man fährt eine enge Zufahrt ziemlich steil bergab zwischen 2 Häusern um über einen ,,Feldweg" ca. 1km zum Domizil zu kommen. Oben am Haus ist der Parkplatz, Zufahrt über eine Wiese. Wir waren vier Personen, alle hatten viel Platz in den Schlafzimmern und auch in den 2 Bädern. Eines oben mit Badewanne und eines unten mit einer Super Dusche! Draußen am Pool neue Sonnenliegen, Schirme. im neben Haus noch ein großer Kühlschrank mit Gefrierfach für Eis etc. Wir sind schon am überlegen ob wir nicht im nächsten Jahr wiederkommen...

Perfect family holiday
The only word to use for Casa Eli is Perfect. We were a family of 3 adults and had a fantastic holiday. The house was great. Had everything we needed. Very clean and spacious. The pool and garden were fab. Complete privacy all the time. The only sounds were the river and wildlife. Location of Casa Eli was great for visiting cities and towns such as Lucca, Barga, Pisa and Florence. We certainly hope to return to Casa Eli again.

Fantastic Villa & Value for Money with Idealistic Surroundings
I travelled to Tuscany with my Wife and 2 Children along with my Parents for the first 2 weeks in August 2015. I must admit to being daunted by the turn onto the single track of road as described by other reviewers, however for a competent driver it should be no issue. We had a 7-Seater Fiat Scudo and we manged the turn every day without any major issues. All Rooms in the Villa are a very good size and very clean! The Swimming Pool (although I see from the images that it has changed location) was great for the Kids and Adults alike. There was also Bicycles available to use in the "Out House" as well as an additional Refrigerator if required. Outside there was a Pizza Oven and BBQ available to use also. The walk into Pieve Fosciana is lovely as you walk through countryside, crossing a river from the rear of the Villa. The walk is approx. 15 Minutes to the centre of the Village where there a re numerous bars and shops. The main Restaurant in the Village is highly recommended and good value for money. Supermarkets are also very close and are very good value for money also. The only negatives we had of the Villa, but by no means would they put any of us off from returning were: - There is no Air Conditioning in the Villa and only 1 Fan. At night time this caused a problem as there were 6 of us in 3 bedrooms. It wouldn't take a lot for the Owner to purchase 2 additional Fans to appease all rooms. - All waste has to be separated into small recycle bins, however these are emptied daily if you take them to the end of the Single Track...a bit of a jaunt if you want a relaxing day by the pool. We discovered that there are Skips by the local Supermarket and chose to take the waste to these on the way to a day trip in the car. - It is very dark, and may be a bit wary for some, when walking back from the local village (Pieve Fosciana) in the evening. As we had young children and Ladies in our party, this forced us to return to the Villa before it got to dark when we would have like to stay out for longer. The alternative is to get a Taxi, but this will only drop you off at the start of the single track road where you still have to walk in the dark (maybe just less than a mile). Don't let these negative put you off however. We had a fantastic Holiday, one of the best we have had. Reminiscing as we were there this time last year...wish we were there now! Highly Recommended!

Fantastic location and facilities
Stayed here with our 5 teenage children. We drive. Chrysler Grand Voager and although the drive down to the villa is tight our 21 year old daughter had no problems as long as she drove a lyles further up and accessed the turn from the other angle. Even in the dark The beds were comfortable bath and shower were excellent We enjoyed good weather and had a day trip to Elba Night times you could walk to the best restaurant in the area 10 mins but not in high heels so children could wonder home as we drank coffee with their ice cream from the shop in the square. Bars and supermarkets also within walking distance. Excellent place to stay Looking at the pictures they have put in a new,pool which looks fabulous and a very good position
