Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Ripa- Pozzi-Ponterosso

You know when you feel as comfortable as you do at home? Here, even better, the house is wonderful, located in a beautiful village, in the heart of Garfagnana, a short distance from the sea, but with the tranquility of the half mountain. Nothing to complain about, Riccardo is very kind and helpful. I'd love to go back, this time for trekking in the surroundings, where there's no shortage of ideas.

We had an absolutely amazing time at Daniela’s place - it was clean, had stunning views and was quick access to Pisa, Florence & Siena. Beautiful pool and lovely terrace with amazing views and sunsets. The kitchen also had everything we needed, including local olive oil and pasta & local wine as a welcoming gift. Daniela went above and beyond providing us with lilos and a pump for the pool too. Overall, 10/10 stay!

An extraordinarily beautiful house, a bit like a museum. But not dusty, rather everything looks in use. The garden consists mainly of olive trees, which gives the whole a wonderful aura. We liked the kitchen, very inviting, a lot of cooking. And of course the small billiard room. Gianluca is a very accommodating person, has showered us with many good tips. We'll definitely be back.

Quiet and relaxing place, perfect for regeneration. In those places, we go back in time to when we were little, time slows down, and it is pleasant to appreciate the wonderful views and architecture of the village. The house is well maintained, clean and nice and Mrs. Claudia is very helpful. We'll be back.

Everything was absolutely perfect! ⭐️ Location: Ideal base for exploring Tuscany — you’re right in the heart of it all. Whether you’re heading to Florence, Pisa, or the charming hill towns, everything is within easy reach. House: Well-equipped and comfortable, with all the listed amenities in perfect working order. After long days of sightseeing, the pool was a refreshing retreat. The panoramic view over the valley is truly breathtaking. Host: Lorenzo is an outstanding host — friendly, responsive, and fluent in English. He was proactive and helpful throughout our stay. The house includes a detailed guidebook he created with handpicked recommendations for local shops, markets, restaurants, farms, and sights. It made planning our days effortless. Bottom line: If this listing is available — don’t hesitate. Book it. 10/10 would recommend!

Of course! Here is the revised version with the addition to the environment and the desire to come back: ⸻ Located in a quiet, idyllic area, it is perfect for unwinding and relaxing. The house was clean and the kitchen equipped with everything you need in everyday life. Communication with Ilaria was friendly and straightforward at all times – everything worked out great. The highlight is the large, very well-kept garden with many different plants – a really nice, green paradise. The pool makes the whole thing even better. We really enjoyed our time there and would be happy to come back!

A real little paradise. A warm welcome from Manuela. I highly recommend it!!! We just left and dream of going back!

Cristina is the perfect host and the house is beautiful. The surroundings are amazing and the views......wow! All through the booking and our stay there Cristina was swift to answer any questions we had and also was happy to offer suggestions on places to go and where to eat. We had a perfect week there and I wouldn't hesitate to go back or to recommend her place to anyone else. Cristina and her sister met us at the house and showed us round, clearly pointing out all the relevant bits that we would need to know. Thank you so much for making our week in Italy so special and enjoyable......we are already looking to come back!

It was a great beautiful experience and if we were to travel to Lucca again. Then we would know immediately where to book something.

Excellent accommodation close to everything on foot. The train station is less than 5 minutes away. Ideal for village visits. Fabio took a lot of time to give us tips to discover the area

Hidden gem with spectacular views. Very friendly and supportive hosts. Cozy getaway with everything you need. Off the beaten tracks but close enough.

We stayed here for 4 nights and loved Federica’s place. We were able to cook meals, do laundry, and re-charge for the next adventure. Very easy to explore Pistoia from here. If you bring a rental car just know that you’ll have to park in a public lot. We parked in a free lot that was a 10 minute walk away. Highly recommend!

Top location, with excellent amenities. The view is stunning and a big plus for the private cooking class! Don't hesitate, just book.

A very nice apartment, with beautiful views and Monia and Francesca were very friendly to us. Highly recommended!

We loved staying at Elisa’s place - so lovingly restored and a truly special place. Beautiful setting and we loved hanging out in the garden on the sun loungers in the peaceful surroundings. Being able to say hello to their dogs and having their sweet cats in the garden made it feel like home to us. Easy parking nearby. Thank you so much!

Casa Maria Rosa was perfect for our family in every way. It’s a spacious flat in a fantastic location. Keep in mind that you can’t drive your luggage all the way to the door and the nearest parking we found (paid) was a half mile from the flat (10 min walk). I understand that a taxi CAN drive your luggage all the way to the door so you might consider that if needed.

The stay at Alessandro and Diego's was very nice. Everything was clean, the kitchen well equipped (also with salt, pepper, oil, etc.), in the bathroom there was shampoo and shower gel, generally plenty of space offered,…. Regarding the location: you can't reach much on foot, but that doesn't bother us, as we always travel by car. Supermarket is about 5 min. by car, the nearest beach about 15-20 min. … It should be mentioned that of 11 nights 2-3 evenings (maybe 8-11 pm) military exercises were done on the nearby military grounds, which was already very loud (helicopter). Otherwise, there was nothing to complain about. All around you can see numerous hills, in the garden you can enjoy the sunset and cook / grill really well with the great grill and oven outside. Thanks for a great stay!

We booked this for a girls holiday and we had the best week. We didn’t hire a car, we walked to a few of neighbouring towns and got a taxi to Lucca, and a train to Florence one day. Neighbouring towns have small supermarkets and the walks to them were enjoyable, the scenery is truly incredible. Lucca is beautiful and has incredible markets, it’s a must see if you stay here. The villa itself is exactly as shown in the pictures, the pool area is gorgeous, we sat around the table every night for dinner, and when it’s dark there’s clusters of fireflies sparkling in the roses, it was magical. Stefania was great, very responsive and there if we needed her. We’d definitely recommend and book this villa again in the future!

Area slightly outside the city, perfect for those who love being in the middle of nature and excellent if you want to get from Viareggio to the 5 Terre! Accommodation on the ground floor and part of a family house, with a beautiful garden (we also had a barbecue given the equipment present) overlooking a beautiful vegetable garden, which overlooks a stream that brings fresh air and the sound of running water. Marco welcomed us, super kind and helpful for all doubts and requests for advice. If we come back to the area, we know where to stay 💪

We had the most wonderful stay at Olga’s place. We had 6 adults and two children and there was still plenty of space. The house was beautifully appointed and the outdoor space with the view was the perfect place to relax.

We stayed at La Macina Farmhouse for ten nights in October 2024. The photos do not not truly capture how special this 16th century villa is, it is magical. There were days we did not leave the villa as it had everything we could want or need and was such a nice retreat from the cities we visited in the surrounding region. It is perfectly located in the hills above Lucca, day trips to Firenze, Sienna, Pisa, Carrara, Forte di Marmi and Parma are easy to drive to for daily adventures. The restaurants in the surrounding hills were incredible with great menus at very reasonable prices. I highly recommend this property and Lucca Apartments & Villas for their exceptional service.

The villa was beautiful! Very peaceful and a great base for exploring the region. Lorenzo was very helpful before we got there and while we were there. The entry road is steep, so follow his directions on the type of car to get. Once you drive it the first time you’ll be fine!

We had an amazing stay at Juri's beautiful villa in Tuscany! The place is super spacious, easily accommodating our group of 11, and it was spotless and very well maintained. Juri and his mom were incredible hosts—always responsive and ready to help whenever we needed anything. The location is also perfect for day trips to Florence, Pisa, and Lucca. If you're looking for a charming, well-kept and very clean villa with top-notch hospitality, this is the place. Highly recommend! Let me know if you'd like any tweaks!

This place is fabulous! The views are absolutely breathtaking! A perfect place to rest and take in the beauty of the Italian coast. We enjoyed slowing down here after touring the larger cities. Had a great time playing some of the games that are provided. We truly enjoyed having drinks and dinner in the dining area that is an indoor patio with an outdoor feel. We also enjoyed the evenings on the patio laying in the lounge chairs staring at the bay. So incredibly peaceful. And for those looking to go to Cinque Terra, the ferry is easy to catch from the town. Additionally, the town of Portovenere is just as amazing as seeing the other historic towns. Wonderful experience all around!
