3 Bedroom Villa in Bagnone, Bagnone Massa Carrara

Our house, Al Palazz, is in a tiny hillside village, just outside the medieval Tuscan town of Bagnone. Guests describe it as “spacious”, “comfortable”, “lovingly restored”. They love the spectacular views, the wonderful pool area and gardens, the well-equipped kitchen, and the extra amenities: wifi, private parking, books, maps, DVDs, games, fresh garden produce. They also love the family restaurant across the square.
The private 11mx4m salt-water pool has sun loungers, showers and a toilet, changing rooms, and a covered terrace with outdoor kitchen and dining facilities including sink fridge, tableware, large Weber gas BBQ, and table tennis. The pool is set in extensive landscaped gardens with views over wooded valleys to Bagnone castle and the mountains beyond, with many different spots to relax in sunshine or shade.
Guests often spend whole days (and evenings – there’s gentle outdoor lighting) just lazing in the gardens and the pool). Or maybe take a wander down to our local rock pools, or into Bagnone for a coffee or some shopping. Guests also say the villa makes an excellent base for sightseeing: the Cinque Terre and Italian Riviera are under an hour away, and Lucca, Pisa, Florence Parma, Genoa are all easy days out.
We provide extensive House Books on the property, the area, local highlights and specialties. This a wonderful area for food and drink, with many great places to eat - including Al Vecchio Podere, the delightful traditional farm restaurant across the square. We are always on hand, via email, phone or WhatsApp, to help with advice and bookings if needed.
Al Palazz sleeps up to six people in great comfort. The house is in two parts:
THE VILLA (first and second floors) is the traditional living area of the house. The entrance is up external stairs to a small first-floor terrace overlooking the village square and the valley - perfect for a morning coffee. There are two double bedrooms with comfortable large beds, two well-appointed bathrooms, two sitting rooms, and a traditional Tuscan kitchen and dining room.
THE CANTINA is an open-plan studio apartment on the ground floor. It has its own front door and internal stairs to the Villa which can be open or locked off. There is a kitchen/sitting/dining area, and a luxury third bedroom and bathroom. The extra privacy and facilities are particularly appreciated by three couples, multi-generation families, and families with older children who need their own rooms.
VRBO lists prices for the whole house (Villa & Cantina) according to the season. June and September rates are lower high summer and are a great time to visit. The weather and the pool are warm, and the area is less busy.
There is a £300 pw VILLA ONLY DISCOUNT for groups of 2-4 people who are happy to use just the Villa, and do not require the Cantina. This discount has to be applied manually, it cannot be done using instant booking. Message us if you'd like to take up this discount.
The Cantina is never let separately when guests are renting the Villa only, but we as owners may sometimes be living there. Rest assured, the Villa, pool and gardens will be all yours to enjoy in privacy.
We’ve rented Al Palazz to over 100 families for over 160 weeks across 20years, both direct and through online sites. We've been on VRBO since 2018 and have great reviews here and elsewhere.

Summary: In a nutshell, of the many houses we have stayed in in Italy La Palazzo is among the very best. The house itself is simply wonderful; inviting, cosy, roomy, very well equipped. As just one example: properly sharp knives, something you don't encounter very often but so important if you like to cook. The garden and pool area is beautiful and well maintained. Walking down there is much more of a joy than any nuisance. On the terrace above the pool is a big canopy with - again - a well equipped outside kitchen area and barbecue which we much enjoyed using. As regards surrounding area, this is indeed different from other areas in Tuscany such as for instance the Chianti area: perhaps a little less vineyards historic landmarks - although these are certainly there as well - but more nature such as beautiful forests. And, coming from a more touristic area the relevant lack thereof is indeed somewhat of a relief. Having said that, more touristic areas such as Livorno, La Spezia and in particular Cinque terre are just a 45 minute drive - as is the beach. One last compliment are the three House Books in La Palazzo that describe in detail the house, food and drink interesting places nearby. These are written with much interesting detail and a real help when exploring the house, village and area. All in all, Jane and David: don't be surprised if we book again!

Summary: We had a wonderful week in Al Palaz. Lunigiana is a nice relaxed area, different from the rest of Tuscany. You won't find many freco's, but also little turists. What you will find is beautiful nature and real Italian atmosphere, with nice villages - especially Bagnone and the hammock of Mochigiana. In and aroud the house you've to walk many steps, but it's worth. At the second floor we had a large sittingroom overlooking the valley and two spacious bedrooms with both a badroom. On the first floor we had a nice, well equiped diningroom and kitchen with a terrace overlooking the villagesquare with the church and the lovely restaurant of the neighbours. Going down we entered a large garden, where we found our own strawberries, vegetables, basel and rosemary. Further goind down we foud our large lunch-terrace and one step further down a field in the shadow of some trees and a nice refreshing swimmingpool - with swallows dipping in when it's hot and we were out... Really something special!

Summary: We had a wonderful week in Bagnone. The house is exactly as photos, very clean and comfortable, best weeks sleep we have had in years. The stairs in the house and garden are quite steep and of uneven heights so not for young or old or limited mobility. The owners left very comprehensive information manuals. We would highly recommend the restaurant across the road, don't be put off by its lack of kerb appeal, the restaurant is spotlessly clean and the staff very friendly, the food was amazing and the bill small, we ate there 4 nights. I would highly recommend this house. The owner was extremely helpful and available when we needed her. Definate 5 star

Summary: We really loved the villa and the area, got a real feel for rural Italy. The villa was very well equipped and we enjoyed the restaurant across the square. Dogs and other animals were a little noisy at night.

Summary: We had a lovely week at Al Palazz. Especially loved the well organised and well equiped house. The best we have ever rented. It felt like coming at home. We also enjoyed the well documented tips for trying Italian food, restaurants and suggestions for trips in the surroundings. The villa and swimming pool are built on a hill and so divided over several terraces. We got used to that soon and enjoyed the view from the swimming pool a lot. The Lunigiana region is fortunately not overcrowded with tourists and we enjoyed discovering the very Italian atmosphere especially at the local restaurants. Had some great diners at La Lina, in Bagnone!

Summary: We had a very good time enjoying the grandeur of the location and your lovely home. Though we loved the house which was well equipped and very spacious and comfortable we appreciated living on the pool and outdoor kitchen levels too from breakfast onwards. I know it sounds weird but your house book was one of the most excellent things about the house - so much helpful information for journeys out and about and how things work and what foods are local including vast selection of recipe books etc. We spent most of Sunday morning our first morning studying intently. We Loved the pool the swallows who dart in perhaps to cool off we couldn’t tell but they were very daring and skilled flyers. What an amazing layout with the changing rooms and downstairs kitchen and loo. We sat outside a lot of the time and made sure we remembered to close the windows and shutters late morning which kept the house nice and cool. We were enchanted by the sounds of the bells from around the mountain side including the cow bells though we felt very sorry for the cows who must have been deafened. We also loved the dvd collection which was vast and we particularly enjoyed Scorsese ‘s review of Italian films and film makers. The selection of reading was also very rewarding. Thank you once again for sharing your home

Summary: We stayed here with family of six (all adults) in second week of August. Had a great time and enjoyed the amenities, surroundings and views from the "Palaz". The owners were very helpful and provide ample instructions as well as suggestions in their guides. We loved the pool area and were lucky to use some of the fresh tomatoes growing om premises. The 8PM ceremony of the adjoining church every night were special. We loved eating at the "old farm" Vecchio Podere, across the street.
