6 Bedroom Villa in Cascine-La Croce, Capannori

The Frantoio is an ancient olive mill, situated on a sunny hillside in a private 9 acre olive estate in Tuscany. The Frantoio has recently been fully converted and refurbished into a luxury property which now hosts holiday guests and annual retreats. Beautifully furnished and well appointed throughout, the interiors have been carefully chosen to complement the building and yet are contemporary, chic and stylish. Air-conditioning throughout, central heating, Sonos music system, Sky TV and strong wi-fi.
Until the late 1960's the Frantoio was a working olive estate and mill, employing many local villagers.
The bedrooms are all light and spacious; our Egyptian bed linens, feather mattress toppers and comfortable pocket spring mattresses ensure a luxuriously comfortable sleep. Each bedroom has a private en-suite bathroom with Davines bathroom products.
Other rooms include a study with screen to plug in your laptop, two private living rooms for bedrooms, a wine cellar, dining room and laundry room (with a Miele washing machine and tumble dryer).
The property has two large well equipped kitchens with doors leading onto dining terraces. Both have American style fridge freezers, dishwashers, hobs and high quality kitchen equipment. The main kitchen has two double steam Miele ovens, a Nespresso coffee machine, Bialetti Moka, an American filter coffee machine, Bialetti French coffee press, electric kettle and large toaster. All store cupboard essentials are supplied. The main kitchen has been architecturally designed as a chefs 'teaching kitchen' with chestnut beams, handmade chestnut kitchen units and large table, a Carrara marble sink and a stainless steel work surface.
The Tuscan summer kitchen is perfectly situated for the pool area and includes a dining area, antique stone sink, microwave, Nespresso coffee machine, Smeg fridge/freezer, 5 burner hob and dishwasher. It is an ideal place to enjoy a light lunch or to prepare light meals for the pool and garden terrace.
There are several dining areas throughout the property to choose from.

Summary: We enjoyed an amazing stay for a week in this incredible Villa. The Villa is finished to a very high standard and how wonderful to have the olive oil presses still in place. We were a party of 10 and we easily fitted in this Villa with plenty of space to spare. Sitting outside on the Veranda was a dream - we loved watching the sparking lights of the surrounding towns. The pool is superb and really interesting being formed in the old mill pond. This Villa is a dream and we hope to return. The hairpin bends to access the Villa were no problem and there was plenty of extra space on each bend to help with the turn. We even managed to get our Mercedes Viano (Van) up and down the hairpins. Also, there are mosquitos, as in most of the countryside of Italy; they are not a problem, just lather up with insect repellent, The Villa has gauze on the windows to "encourage" the mosquitos not to enter the Villa. Finally, it is well worth mentioning the very efficient air conditioning. The whole house was comfortable at all times. We felt incredibly welcome in this super Villa which is clearly loved by Emma and Damian. Emma, the (very lucky) Owner of this amazing Villa, provided fabulous communication and managed to get us a booking at Da Benitos in Orentano. The food is fabulous. There is no menu, just classic, wonderful Italian food for Italians. Damian, the Property Manager, was incredibly helpful especially with helping us to find the Villa in the first place and also sorting out problems with the gas (now all fixed). Tastemotions (Valentino & Larisa, the caterers) are incredible; they provided what was surely a Michelin starred meal with attentive, friendly service. Their meal will be a family memory forever - as will be our stay in this dream Villa. Grazie Mille, Emma, Damian and All

Summary: A family holiday for 8 booked originally in 2019 and carried forward because of Covid. So delighted that we did as we had an absolutely fabulous time in fantastic surroundings. The villa is large, comfortable and extremely well equipped with typically glorious Tuscan views. Great swimming pool and plenty of places to sit and eat. Great communication with the owner and the housekeeper couldn’t have been more helpful.

Summary: As part of the family vacation, we had a great time in the lovingly renovated olive mill. The house and the complex leave nothing to be desired, we all felt very comfortable. The contact with the owner Emma and the manager Damian was very cordial, questions or problems were taken care of immediately. A wonderful holiday, we'll be back.

Summary: The setting of the villa is spectacular, overlooking the Tuscan valley. Sitting at the pool, you can see for miles and there is a great hike right outside the villa to the next town, high up on a hilltop. The rooms are all gracious, with comfortable beds and en suite bathrooms. Each room has a great view out the window. There are a lot of stairs in case that is an issue for people. The kitchen and outdoor seating areas were large enough to accommodate our group of 9. Communication with the owner and caregiver was easy. They both helped a lot with making reservations, setting up excursions and navigating challenges that popped up during the week. They made the whole experience so much better.

Summary: Our group of 12 friends and family just wrapped up our week at the Frantoio. Plain and simple, the villa was superb. Spacious and comfortable bedrooms were matched by beautiful common space. Both inside and out. Sites such as Siena, Lucca and Cinque Terre were all just a short drive away. To make matters even better, Linda and George Rough were warm, welcoming and helpful property managers. They recommended a local husband and wife cooking team, Tastemotion, who prepares incredible dinners for our group. It was an affordable luxury that made all the difference in the world . It’s hard to imagine that we will not choose to return to the Frantoio.

Summary: We booked the Frantoio for our 50th wedding anniversary celebration with our children and grandchildren. We couldn't have chosen a better place. It is spacious and comfortable, with plenty of "meeting" places for little chats private drinks, etc., as families do! The swimming pool was a terrific hit with all of us. Clean and well maintained, it was one of the highlights of our stay. The other "luxury" that was recommended and was worth splashing out for, was having Valentino and Larissa (recommended by Linda and George) come to cook dinners for us. Valentino is a great and inventive chef, and Larissa the most charming hostess. Excellent! Finally, and very importantly, the property managers, Linda and George. They greeted and made us feel so welcome, were available any time we needed them, and were great and amusing company when they popped in to enjoy a glass of wine with us. It all helped to make our special holiday a very relaxing, enjoyable and memorable time. Thank you

Summary: The property looked amazing on the listing and it didn’t disappoint. Rooms were airy and spacious, beds super comfy, multiple kitchens that were very well equipped but the best thing was definitely the pool. All three generations were in the pool at least twice a day. George and Linda were excellent hosts and provided us with great ideas and useful info for our holiday. They had recommended Tastemotions (Larisa and Valentino) for coming to the villa to cook a meal for us. They came twice to cook for us and they were so delicious. We also went on a vine tour with Larisa which was fantastic, Larisa was a wonderful host. Shame it was only a week but would definitely be back in a heartbeat. Thank you George and Linda.

Summary: We stayed for a week in June with 3 adults and two toddlers and had an excellent time at the villa. Linda and George who live up the hill and manage the property could not be more helpful, friendly, and accommodating. All of their recommendations were excellent and they immediately answered any questions we had and resolved any issues we encountered during our stay. The home can be a little tricky to find, but once you know what to look for, it's easy. There isn't a ton of flat lawn, so there are less areas for toddlers to play outside, but the pool area is amazing and our kids had a great time playing in the living room. The villa balances elements of the historical olive mill with modern fixtures and amenities. The layout, with multiple suites, is perfect for a family reunion or large group. Thanks for a wonderful stay!
