Vacation rentals in Careggine

Villa Lina was even more beautiful than the pictures showed. The house was clean, had new and comfortable bedding, had plenty of space for our family, and the view was outstanding. The place is very private, high up on the hill, but with the instructions from our host we had no trouble finding it, even in the dark. The driveway is about 1/4 mile, steep, with parts of it gravel, and has several sharp turns, but we made it no problem with the small jeep we rented (without 4WD). Just take it slow. It is about a 15 minute drive back down to the town center of Lucca and the train station and 10 minutes to a grocery store. The back roads are very narrow until you get to a main road so use caution and we were lucky enough that others backed up for us when we met on the narrow spots. The view and seclusion were well worth the drive up for us. If you want an amazing view of the Tuscan countryside, but also a short drive to a neat town and a train station, Villa Lina is a great choice!

what a beautiful and tranquil setting the village is set in. beautiful locals that always greet you with a smile. the tower accommodation was so much fun. it's very old and has awesome views over the valley. it's a little small and set out over 4 levels, so there are a few steepish stairs so good legs and knee's needed. I'm 62 and managed just fine. The bed is super comfortable and the duvet was to die for and my wife wanted to take it home. just a gorgeous part of history to stay in for restful stay. it is up a mountain so a car, motorcycle or a push bike is needed as there is no bus service. plenty of parking and amazing bush walks. Mark, the host is awesome. so informative and knowledgeable. so many suggestions of places to see and eat. easily contactable and super fast with replies. He couldn't do enough for us. To sum up, we highly recommend the tower as a destination and you couldn't get a better host.

Alessandro's accommodation is great for those who want to get away from the chaos of the city, it is in a quiet location and surrounded by greenery but still close to a lot of areas of interest such as Forte dei Marmi (20min), Marina di Carrara (10min) and so on... it is a very strategic place, especially if you have pets with you. Our little dachshund - Focaccia - was able to run freely in the huge garden in front of the accommodation - a place where my partner and I decided to have dinner every evening enjoying the beautiful sunset 🌇 The accommodation is beautiful, new and equipped with a really super-stocked kitchen (we could even make pizza!). We were also very pleased with the presence of an air conditioner. We will definitely be back, we highly recommend it 🫶🏼 N.B. Alessandro has always been super helpful in answering all my questions and giving me valuable advice on what to see/where to eat, etc. Thank you Alessandro for your infinite patience?

Francesca and her kind family have created a once-in-a-lifetime, soul-grounding experience in this beautifully restored 14th-century hillside retreat in Portovenere. We loved every minute of our six-night stay. From the mind-blowing views and steep, invigorating hikes to romantic evenings sipping homemade, earthy concoctions thoughtfully left for us—it was pure magic. We were welcomed with fragrant bundles of fresh lemons, rosemary, sage, and thyme, a gesture that set the tone for the care and warmth we felt throughout. The bed was incredibly comfortable, making our rest as memorable as our adventures. We especially loved our daily rocky hike down to the charming village, and one day we even rented a dinghy to explore the surrounding islands—an unforgettable way to soak in the coastal beauty. This place is beyond gorgeous—truly a slice of heaven.

My husband and I Stayed here for 3 Nights! And we had a wonderful time with an awesome view and really amazing regional homecooked food. It’s very private and Silvia is a very careful Host. The road to the Apartment is a bit adventorous but with our SUV no Problem. We can 100% recommend this Location if you want to spend some quiet days and Explore Cinque terre which is 1 Hour Drive. Thanks a lot Silvia ♥️

We had a very nice week at 6 with 2 teenagers and 2 children. Lerici which is 2 km away is a good starting point to visit the 5 Terres by boat. Lerici and Tellaro are also very nice to visit. The accommodation is calm and comfortable. The different terraces are pleasant.

Gorgeous old house, great area to explore.

Daniela is a lovely host who gives helpful advices before, during and even at the end of the stay to ensure an easy check-in as well as check-out and answers quickly if assistance is needed. Her house is a beautiful place at the edge of a village with a huge garden and a marvellous view on the surrounding mountains and the lake. At night we've seen plenty of fireflies which turned the garden in a magic atmosphere. On three terraces everyone finds a place to relax or chat. Inside you find everything you need in the kitchen and bathroom. Both double beds are cosy and offer a fantastic view on either the mountains or the village of Vagli Sopra with its church tower. There is a small grocer's about 10 minutes away walking or 2 minutes by car open all days even at midday which offers what's necessary and a pharmacy even closer. We can warmly recommend a stay for taking a break from busy work days to calm down and enjoy life.
