We had a great week staying in Compignano Barn - the gardens and view from the balcony are simply stunning. On the first night we were treated to seeing a family of wild boar roaming through the garden below. The swimming pool is an ideal size and was kept very clean throughout our stay.

I would throughly recommend staying here - only 20-30 mins into Lucca or to the coast.

Easyreserve were also very helpful in answering all my questions.

Le Lagore is a beautiful villa located above Levanto on the Italian Riviera. It has gorgeous views from the terrace and the windows on the sea view side of the house. We greatly enjoyed our stay there. The kitchen was very well equipped, and it was much appreciated that dish and laundry soap were provided along with toilet paper and soap in the bathrooms. The house was decorated in a cozy comfortable way. Our group consisted of 4 adults traveling with 4 children ages 3-6 and we loved the spacious living room and terrace.
There are six bedrooms with comfortable beds and bathrooms. There is one bathtub and the rest of the bathrooms have a European styled hand shower on the wall of the bathroom- not a shower stall- such that when one showers, the water goes all over the toilet and bidet. This is not to say that this is a problem. The water drains adequately and is actually a good use of space because there would not have been room to install proper shower stalls in these bathrooms. I am mentioning this because my fellow Americans are less likely to expect/be familiar with this type of shower.
The description of the house listed it as 1 km from the beach. This is perhaps true if one were to take the extremely steep stairs, otherwise it would be a 15/20 minute steep winding walk on the road or a short drive with parking immediately above the beach.
The house feels very remote and there were lizards in the living room in the evening making funny sounds. There were lots of ants inside and out of the house. The grounds were not manicured and I had long grass/weeds scratching my legs when I would hang the laundry on the line to dry. The washing machine did not function properly. With every load, we had to continually readjust the clothes in the washing machine throughout the cycle.
However, the pleasures of cooking in that great house with rosemary picked outside the kitchen door, the joys of drinks made with freshly crushed mint plucked from behind the hammock, and enjoying this food and drink on the terrace with the gorgeous Mediterranean Sea stretching across the horizon made up for ants and other minor inconveniences. If you can welcome nature into your life, you will enjoy your stay at Le Lagore and will leave wishing, as we did, that you could stay on for at least a little while longer.

Our familiy of 6 adults and 2 children (ages 9 months and 2 1/2 years) was delighted with our stay at Villa Fiorenzani. We were looking for a villa within walking distance to a small town with restaurants and Villa Fiorenzani and Radicondoli fit the bill perfectly. I echo the reviews below regarding location and things to do. The Radicondoli tourism office was very helpful with maps and suggestions of things to do, as well.

A highlight for us was a dinner at the agroturismo Paugnano. Our granddaughter was in awe of the sheep and milking, the family was warm and embracing, and the ravioli was spectacular! A cooking class there would have been fun, had we realized in time. Also, don't miss the pizza at La Pergola - best we had our entire trip!

We can also recommend a hot air balloon flight through Associazioni Aerostatica Toscana (www.flyballoon.it) which was very professionally done and a wonderful way to see the Tuscan countryside, although expensive.

One note: Don't count on wireless at the villa - it was only available one day while we were there despite property manager Ilaria's attempts to get it working. (An electrical storm blew it out the same day she got it to work.)
