Earth house vacation rentals in Northeast Italy

Unbeatable location right on the lake, breathtaking view of the lake, spacious and clean. We loved it

We spent a week in this beautiful villa. The view from the pool is incredible, there’s a covered seating area next to the pool too, and we spent lots of time there! There’s also a lower lawn perfect for yoga or meditation if you’re that way inclined. Every room has its own en suite, plus there is a poolside shower and toilet facilities downstairs. In general the villa is very well equipped. It was very hot while we were there, but then it was August! You definitely need cars and also to be a confident driver - roads are in good condition, mostly, but with lots of hairpin bends and steep inclines, driving is not for the faint hearted! There is an easier and a harder way into the village so choose your route wisely and stick to the bigger roads if you can. We had thoughtful welcome and leaving gifts from the host, which was lovely, and when we couldn’t get the grill to work they came straight away. The hosts couldn’t have been more responsive or helpful. The area is stunning, local wine is delicious and if you like truffles you are in for a treat at practically every restaurant you visit. Even though the village itself feels quite remote, you can get to the coast and various big towns and supermarkets within about half an hour. We visited various towns and istralandia water park which we all loved, especially the kids. So you can choose to have a complete retreat in a beautiful quiet and peaceful location, or to use the villa as a base for seeing more of Istria. We had a great time.

There are no words to describe the beauty of this place or the hospitality of the family taking care of the house. We stayed here for a month and had the most wonderful time. The house has everything you need, the terrace is a great place where to hide from the sun and the garden with the pool is just amazing. BTW, the pool is much bigger than it looks in the pictures. The family working for the host are the most welcoming & kind people. They threw an incredible welcoming party for all the guests - dozens of self-made pizzas, local wines, prosciutto.. Moreover, they even organized a wine tasting in a local vineyard in Villa il Pozzo. I could continue forever with this review, but the most important thing is that we felt welcomed, loved & still had our privacy & we made friends for a lifetime here. As per the location, it is in a lovely small town with a little shop, 1 bar and 2 restaurants. The town is located near Florence and many other small & incredibly beautiful towns & villages (that are definitely worth visiting!)

Ds Rustico is exactly as described. It has everything you need - we think. The upper floor with the view into the attic is great. Marta is a wonderful host. The reception was very warm and personal. We are grateful to have met Marta and to have been able to stay in her Rustico. For our dog, the fence (the wall) was not high enough. But no one could have guessed that ;-) Behind the house, a deer visited us one day. Beautiful. Equally beautiful: watching the sunrise from the bedroom.

We stayed in this house for 4 days with 5 people plus a 3-year-old boy. Very nice house, defined and accessible spaces, very large and welcoming garden. Elevated location with beautiful day and night view. Alberto and Vania are very kind and helpful. I recommend it!!

Absolutely the perfect house to spend some time on your own or with a loved one. Bring your records and hang out listening to music. Go for a wander in the fields. Great food and incredible wines are never far. I really enjoyed my stay here. A very special place which I look forward to visiting again.

Perfect stay in the cabin overlooking the lake, everything as I expected. Andrea was very nice and helpful and gave me great tips on walks to take nearby.

Had a wonderful vacation in Lucca. Lovely villa and swimming pool. Surroundings where you only hear the birds chirping. The road to the villa was a challenge every day with our van. We greatly enjoyed it and our batteries are recharged. Recommended!

We had a great time in this beautiful mansion! The view and the nature surrounding the property are just breathtaking. The terrace is perfect for a big group of people, it's very spacious. The communication with Maurizio was also very good! We had some minor problems, for example with the coffee machine or the electricity in the house, but Maurizio was really quick to reply, I could text or call him and would always get a fast answer. He was always friendly, caring and helpful! To get to or away from the house, you need to take some time, as the gravel road is a challenge, especially for small cars.

really nice house in a beautiful setting - totally recommended!

Montefegatesi is a very well-kept town. Alessia's house is really well kept and the surrounding landscape is enchanting. It is an ideal accommodation for a retreat in the peace of nature. From Montefegatesi, there are several well-marked routes, even for non-experts. We'll be back!

A beautiful home in a great environment. The furnishings were very personal and tasteful. The kitchen was very well equipped with everything you need. James and Philippa were quick to answer any questions and very helpful. Many thanks to the two for a beautiful holiday.

We had a great company retreat. It was very comfortable.

Wonderful place for parents and children We would have liked to taste the Tuscan meal offered by the hotel but it was not available during our visit.

It was a great experience to be here. The hosts were very friendly and helpful and showed us everything in peace. The breakfast was fantastic, and just for us a lot of extra vegan offerings on request. We would recommend it to anyone and would be happy to come back. The animals were also great and the kids jumped right into the pool.

The house is located in a peaceful and beautiful area where the locals were extremely friendly and helpful. Villa Elisa was well-appointed and a perfect base from which to explore San Marino, Rimini and San Leo (to name a few). Thanks to Luca's excellent recommendations we also discovered superb swimming pools and restaurants.

We only spent a night but loved the chicken, dog and cats, the great breakfast and warm welcome. Claudia and her husband even lighted the chimney for us at breakfast. Very special. Perfect with kids!

The location of the home is beautiful, the view of the castle of Badia a Passignano and the vineyards. The kids enjoyed the yard, there are animals. The house has its own patio with table, barbecue, beautiful nature. The position is also great for visiting Florence, San Gimignano Siena, Pisa. I recommend for visits better to visit small places nearby than going to Florence or Pisa. Bianca and Alice were always available and available on Whats up. Even the pool was open even though it couldn't really get warm in the sun. Great for a family vacation. Thanks again for your hospitality.
