Holiday rentals in Pian di Balestra

Airbnb asks you to write a review in few words. Mine is …….. Bellissimo Bellissimo, Bellissimo. But I can’t stop there. When you open the shutters of this beautiful home and all you can see are mountains, greenery and a church in the village, why would you go anywhere else to get away from it all? To other guests who are thinking about visiting Tuscany and having a taste of living in a small Italian village, with delicious food, walks with scenery to die for, then you cannot go wrong with booking this stunning location. Keith and Aisling make you feel so welcome and insist that it is your home for the time you are staying in this wonderful village in the mountains. Their home has a rustic charm and is spotlessly clean and so cosy. It’s also a great base to explore Lucca, Florence and Pisa. Don’t hesitate. Book it now if you are in need of some R&R and a place to re-charge and relax.

Fredrico and Linda were the best people who made me feel right at home. I met some amazing people during my stay of 3 nights. Fredrico and Linda even took us for a drive and pizza up the hills in their amazing van. We heard songs and spoke and laughed and had the best time. Their garden is so so chill and there's a table tennis table too where you can play. I even took a dip in their pond which was super clean. It's the experience that stood out and i am so grateful to have come here. Special mention to Greta ( she is such a nice person and beautiful)

It was a pleasure to meet Giuseppe, an exquisite person and offers fantastic tips on the area as a fantastic 😉 place as an accommodation for those looking for peace and tranquility with a small compromise on the distance from Bologna, but well connected cm2 and for me added value. If there is an opportunity, I'll come back to enjoy the area again. Highly recommended. Thank you

Absolutely recommended! Nina is a wonderful host and I had a fantastic stay. I booked a double room for myself at very short notice and Nina made this possible immediately and easily. She was very nice and accommodating. The place itself is a dream. The room was not only sparkling clean, but also first-class and very tastefully furnished. The bathroom is particularly noteworthy, as it really sets standards in terms of cleanliness. The location in a quiet mountain village is perfect for escaping the stress of everyday life and enjoying the silence. I felt completely comfortable and can fully recommend a stay with Nina. Thank you for everything!

My wife and I enjoy our time celebrating our 25th anniversary overlooking Lucca and the surrounding areas… absolutely beautiful setting and once in a lifetime experience.

A beautiful cottage that feels like a home instead of a holiday home. Very cozy, clean, homely, a very nice garden. The seat behind the house is a great place to be even on the whole hot days due to the shade and the breeze blowing through it. The foosball table and a ping pong table are fun to do with the kids. The large pizza oven is easy to use and you bake the tastiest pizzas in it. The beds were lovely. Some were even adjustable. In the living room two nice large chairs with a reading light. There were fans available for the bedrooms during the warm nights. We got very nice tips for things to do in the area. The owners were really friendly and helpful. The most beautiful cottage we have ever rented.

Our stay was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with such warmth and kindness. It felt like visiting family. The hosts are the most genuine, thoughtful couple we've ever met. Their hospitality went far beyond anything we expected. They were incredibly responsive and offered fantastic recommendations for the area, but what really made our experience special was the cooking class we did with them. We learned how to make fresh pasta and dessert from scratch, then shared the most delicious meal together. It wasn’t just a dinner,it was a memory we’ll carry with us forever. Out of our entire 19-day trip through Italy, this was hands down the highlight. The property itself is straight out of a movie. The home is stunning, filled with character and charm, and the grounds are peaceful, beautifully maintained, and truly capture the magic of Tuscany. If you're looking for an authentic, heartfelt experience that goes beyond just a place to stay, this is it!!

What a beautiful and unique place! It looks even better in real life than it does in the pictures. Very peaceful and well appointed. A bit tricky with a car since the roads and driveway are quite narrow, but we managed! Quite a few stairs, but it’s well worth the effort and adds to the beauty and incredible views. Kiran is very helpful and pleasure to communicate with.
