Summary: A spacious property with loads of outdoor space (and pool). We were very comfortable here and could easily have stayed longer. The host, Massimo, is very friendly and most generous. We thought the village was charming and Castelnuovo is well worth a visit.

Summary: Our family of three adult children and their parents gathered together at Massimo’s to celebrate each other and our Italian adventure. What a treat to venture into a true Tuscan community. We ate their food, drank their wine and enjoyed their true friendliness and hospitality. Massimo welcomed us on the first night with a table full of fun, laughter and food. His kindness continued throughout the week of our stay. You could not ask for a more genuine and generous host. He also respected our private times even though he lived above us. We certainly hope to return to this Tuscan treasure!

Summary: This was our 2nd time staying here. The villa is fantastic, the location is beautiful so close to the village and with amazing view. Outdoor features, like the pool, barbeque, garden, off-road parking, etc are all brilliant. And the host, Massimo is wonderful, so friendly, welcoming and convivial.

Summary: We had the pleasure of staying in Casa Massimo for four weeks. Throughout our time Massimo kept us supplied with fresh eggs, cherries, wine and more besides. He is a generous host only too happy to invite us in to his cantina to sample local cheeses with his friends. It made for a memorable holiday. The house and pool are exceptionally clean and well tended. Castiglione itself is a good base for exploring the Garfagnana and has its own excellent alimentari, bar, new pizza restaurant and grocer. Recommended.

Summary: It was really a great vacation. We felt super comfortable. The house has a typical Italian flair, the pool was always clean and in top condition. The exceptionally helpful landlord Massimo made the stay a successful holiday with his hospitable manner. We can also recommend the Bar Alimentario, where you can have an excellent breakfast with a typical Italian dish coming and going. The staff at Alimentario is very friendly and welcoming.

Summary: Spacious, clean and well appointed villa with the great big benefits of a pool, shaded floral garden and great views from the driveway. We loved our two weeks here and would definitely consider returning. Castiglione village (a few mins walk away) is small but perfect and has a couple of restaurants and the bar for apperitivo / gelato. More amenities and dining options are available in neighbouring towns just 10 mins drive away. Il Pozzo lives up to the advertising and recommendations for a lovely dinner. We had read reviews of Massimo’s hospitality but we’re still very pleasantly surprised at his kindness and generosity: red wine, Prosecco, fresh produce and ice creams for the kids throughout the stay. He gives you full privacy but is always close if you need help or to offer you a drink on your way in or out! Despite not speaking English we had some good chats with him, thanks to our broken Italian and good old Google. We had some wonderful day trips to the beautiful Vagli sotti, Pisa, beach at Forte dei Marmi and canyoning - all recommendations in the information provided by Friends of Tuscany after booking. Definitely recommend the cooking class at home with Francesca. In short, go ahead and book. You won’t be disappointed!!

Summary: We had a fantastic week at Casa Massimo. Helpful and wonderful host/manager. Great place/location of the property. Really nice garden and outdoor pool. We had a rental car the whole week, which is recommended to get around visiting places. All in all, a great experience. 10/10!

Summary: This is a fantastic location in the Northern part of Tuscany, with valleys to climb to mountain passes and tiny village in magnificent scenery. The local village has a post office, greengrocers, and small food shop as well as a bar, and a restaurant. I think the property description undersells the location - I was unfamiliar with Tuscany, and having spent a week in Florence, we were looking for a place in the Tuscan countryside. Perhaps most visitors already know what they are getting, but it was a lovely part of the world to be in, on the lower slops of the mountains above the valley below, with national parks close to hand. The house, is the self contained ground floor of a larger house, with sole use of the swimming pool and garden. The pool is a proper solid dug in pool and good for decent short lengths of swimming. We were in the pool to cool off most days, after coming in from exploration. The house itself has everything you could need. After coming from a modern flat renovation in Florence the previous week, it was nice to come to a place that had clearly been a home. It was the house that Massimo, the owner, grew up in and lives annexed to. Massimo is a kind host - available to sort out the minor issues - push to set the washing machine, and then pull the dial to operate! If your Italian is better than mine, you’ll find a great conversation partner and equally, we were undisturbed and he will leave you to get on with things. A wonderful local host, I think. In conclusion, a great place to stay.
