A wonderful peaceful location
The house is beautiful and well appointed. The beds are comfortable and the AC works well. The gardens are amazing with lovely flowers and fruit trees. The Pizza oven was great fun to use! It is a little walk down the hill to the pool but my 86 year old mum could make it. Once there the pool area is excellent, very spacious. The Table Tennis was a nice suprise! Many thanks Anna!

Classic Italian Setting
Absolutely fantastic place - fabulous view, olive and lemon trees in the yard. Has a pool with lounge areas and ping pong table. Large outdoor dining table where 2 different chefs served us delicious dinners, one taught us to make pasta! 3 bedrooms have an en-suite bathroom, the 4th & 5th bedroom share a bath. Host provided wash rags and linen sheets. Comfy big beds. We had 2 rental cars for 8 adults and 1 toddler. Ample parking for us. Host was responsive immediately when we had trouble finding it or had questions about lights or pool lock. We made day trips to Pisa, Lucca, and Cinque Terre. We were there the last week of May and it was mostly too cool for the pool. Even so some of our group chose to stay back to enjoy the villa one day. I would definitely come back here again!

Lovely! Enjoyed our stay in this authentic, comfortable, well decorated home. 6 of our family members stayed. 4 nice bedrooms. 2 bedrooms shared a bathroom, although there is a 4th bathroom with shower in basement. Home has everything u would want- kitchen items/toaster, nespresso, coffee press, washer/dryer. Plenty of dishes/wine glasses. Outdoors is relaxing/lovely- olive trees/lemon tree, hydrangeas, grape vines and pool. Quiet, with exception of a Saturday night, when we heard music from wedding being held at nearby restaurant. Anna Maria very helpful/accomodating. Had chef come in first night- terrific homemade dinner- Antonella. Visited tenuto Adamo- nice winery. Made trips to Cinque terre , Siena, Florence- all very busy. Should have tried Portovenere. But good recs from Anna Maria on parking garages and tram use for Florence. Camaiore close by for sigma supermarket. Went in to Lucca twice- nice drive and town , just over 30 minutes away. Wish we could have stayed for 2 weeks!

Perfect for our family holiday
Anna Maria's villa was absolutely perfect for our group of 8 adults who gathered for a week to celebrate a milestone birthday. There is plenty of space to gather as a large group, but it is also very conducive to sneaking away for some quiet moments away from the group. The home was spotlessly clean and well appointed with any and everything we could possibly need. The grounds were well manicured and the pool area just sublime. The villa's location is ideal for anyone wanting to explore Lucca, Pisa, Cinque Terre, Florence, and beyond, with easy access to wineries, restaurants, a supermarket, and anything else you might need. Anna Maria connected us with local chef Antonella, who came to the villa one evening to prepare and serve dinner, and it was a highlight of our holiday. We recommend this villa 100%, and look forward to staying again someday.

Farmhouse bliss!
We were 6 adults and a 16 month old who stayed for a week at the end of September. Annamaria was very attentive to your needs but not intrusive. She is the perfect hostess. The farmhouse is welcoming and is well appointed and very comfortable. It has everything you need to make your holiday perfect. The house is spacious and allows everyone their own space when needed. The outdoor dining area is fabulous and idyllic. If you everyone wants to cook, the kitchen can be a little cramped but we managed just fine. We even had a cooking lesson done at the house. The house has everything you would need to accommodate a baby’s need. The outdoor space is sprawling and has olives trees, grapes and a beautiful garden. The pool is conveniently located down the small hill and surrounded by shrubs and fenced which was perfect with our grandchild. So there are no worries about the pool area. In general it is very quiet at night with only the church bell ringing. Pictures do not do the farmhouse and the grounds justice…it’s beyond beautiful. I would book this farmhouse again should we ever find ourselves in the area. Close proximity to Lucca, Pisa, Cinque Terre and Florence and many other places. Annamarie, thank you for the perfect stay.

Under the Tuscan Sun
This is a fabulous property and the grounds are even more breathtaking than the pictures. The rooms are spacious, the AC in the bedrooms is wonderful and it has the feel of an authentic Tuscany villa which is what we were looking for. Anna Maria, the owner, was gracious and always available, and any problems that arose she quickly handled. You will need a car as nothing is within walking distance. That being said, both Lucca and Pietrasanta - towns which we LOVED - are less than 30 minutes away as is Pisa. Other day trips are Cinque Terre (boarding the train from Viareggio), Florence, Portafina and we took the train from Florence for a day trip to Venice as we flew directly into Florence. The closest town to the Villa is Camaoire which is a lovely small town 10 minutes away, but beware Italian towns close down in the afternoon and they usually reopen around 7 pm. You can always find an exception but not many. If you have the time you should also take the main road out of Camaoire to Lido di Camaoire, it's an easy 15 minute drive. It has a very wide boardwalk, nice restaurants and lots of public beach equipment for the kids. TIP: When on Italian highways, make sure to grab a ticket from the first toll booth you enter; otherwise, when you exit you will receive a $66 USD ticket which happened to us!! This property does not disappoint & everyone felt it was the highlight of our trip! Grazie Anna Maria!

Tuscan Fantasy Fulfilled!!
We were a group of seven adults and the villa (Casale il Melograno) was even more beautiful than the photographs. The property is beautiful and well maintained, including the lovely pool area. The house was clean with many thoughtful touches, such as pool towels, lots of table linens, bedrooms with wonderful lighting and a well equipped kitchen. Outdoor furniture is well maintained too. Some of us used the air conditioning in their bedrooms at night. Other bedrooms benefitted from the evening breeze. The house fit all of us comfortably and nothing beats breakfast or cocktail outside overlooking the Tuscan countryside. Anna Maria is an outstanding host.. She also provided excellent recommendations for a private chef, Antonella. (She was excellent-highly recommend also!) We feel fortunate to have experienced this home. Cannot wait to return.

Our week in Nocchi
The villa was superb in every way. It was spacious, with every possible facility and equipment and the bedrooms were perfect. The garden and view were magnificent. It is not really a criticism but the heating system was not very easy to understand, although it worked well. An explanation was given but it was not easy to take in quickly. Perhaps the information booklet could contain a page on the details of the heating. It could also be made clear that shops and restaurants are not within walking distance - particularly important if guests arrive late. In summary, our holiday at the villa was wonderful.

GREAT TIME AT CASALE II MELOGRANO
Absolutely gorgeous place !!! Great host !!! Anna Maria did everything possible to accommodate our slightly early arrival. There is plenty of bedrooms, bathrooms & living space for everyone !!! We mostly spend our time outside, which is absolutely beautiful. The swimming pool area very sunny & private. It is not far from the house at all. Just a few steps... Drive to the villa is uphill but easy. Large parking in front of the villa to accommodate several cars. There is few great restaurants minute away from the villa. Few large supermarkets near by as well. Using a chef service at least for one dinner is highly recommended. Antonella created unforgettable evening for us . Camaiore located near main highway that will get you to many touristy destinations many of which are must see. Pietrasanta just 20 minutes away. Love it, and would consider re-visiting it soon !!!

Amazing Villa!!
Amazing Villa!! We stayed at Anna Maria’s villa for a week for our summer vacation in Tuscany. The house was truly amazing and and location perfect to visit Lucca, Pisa, Cinque Terre, Florence and many more towns around Tuscany. Anna Maria and her husband renovated the house with a focus on historic detail, but with all the modern amenities of 2019. The house, gardens and grounds around the house were all immaculate and the pool was a perfect place to relax at the end of the day and enjoy the views of the surroundings hills. We had a group of 8 people, including three teenagers and two grandparents and the house worked for all of us. Anna Maria was a gracious host who met us when we arrived and showed us everything we need to know about the house. We also had a local chef, Antonella, cook 2 dinners at the house which was an amazing experience and an opportunity to eat true regional meals you would not find in a restaurant. The small town of Camaiore was 5 min drive and has everything you need including an amazing winery (Cantine Angeli) where you can get fresh wine and arrange for wine tastings. Locals bring jugs to be filled straight from the fermenting tanks or you can buy bottles or boxes of their wines. There is also a great small pizzeria/restaurant (Antico Frantoio) in the town of Nocchi that we loved and was within a short walking distance. We loved this villa and hope to visit again!

Lovely Week in Camaoire
Anna was a lovely host and very attentive when we needed anything, as well as respectful of our privacy. The property was as described and did not disappoint. The landscaping and grounds were absolutely beautiful. The pool was spectacular (although note that the shallow end was not as shallow as what we would have in the US, so a touch deep for little ones). The bedrooms were very well decorated and spacious. Grocery store and wine shop only five minutes away. We engaged Chef Romina to cook on two occasions and it was a nice treat to not have to cook or clean and just enjoy the beautiful scenery. The house itself is very tucked and off the beaten path, so we did have a little difficulty finding it. I suggest following Anna’s written instructions carefully! Overall a wonderful family holiday and comfortable accommodations. Highly recommend.

Terrific property, wonderful host
Annamaria's house is very well appointed and perfectly suited our group of friends. The bedrooms are well spaced, and could easily accommodate our mixed group (some couples, some singles, no kids). There are various common areas (inside and out), which gave a terrific sense of space (no-one felt crowded). The grounds are immaculate and the pool is wonderful - it gets the sun all day. Annamaria had various recommendations for local activities and restaurants, including a local chef (Romina) who came in to cook some superb meals for us. We ate all our meals outside, on a wonderful long table - either down by the pool or up at the house. The house is well situated to explore the local area - we went to Pisa, Lucca, Viareggio, Lido di Camaoire, Pietrasanta and Forte dei Marmi (by car) and also ventured to the Cinque Terre and Florence (in the train). However, we also spent a lot of time lounging around the house / by the glorious pool.

Oasis
Anna Maria's home was spectacular. Everything was as advertised and the pool was even better than expected. We were eight, 2 families, with 2 girls and 2 boys ages 12-16. Everyone had plenty of space. Beds were very comfortable. It was extraordinarily warm during our visit so the air conditioning in the bedrooms at night was perfect, but during the day with the windows (screened) open and the breezes blowing it was very nice. Nocchi is a nice quiet place with a couple of good and family friendly restaurants. I would recommend heading up to Pieve for a night or 2. There are 2 good restaurants up that way, only 5 minute drive. Nice day trips to Florence, Pisa, Lucca and Cinque Terre, but always nice to come back to the house, swim, play cards, enjoy the music system at the pool, nap, etc. Would have liked to stay another week just to do nothing, but that will be for another time. Without any reservations, I would recommend this for 2 families traveling together or even several couples.

Great location and beautiful villa in Tuscany!
I visited with family, friends and my daughter for 2 weeks. The gardens and ground are absolutely beautiful. Annamaria is a very attentive host and provided great recommendations for local Day trips, restaurants and a private chef to cook for us at the villa. I highly recommend staying here as it makes a perfect home base. You can’t go wrong. There were floaties and everything you need for the pool as well for afternooon fun.
