We stayed at the Villa il Nido the week of Sept 13 – 20, 2008, and had a delightful experience.
The villa is set on top of a hill, with beautiful vistas of the surrounding countryside, yet a short walk brings you to the village of Castelnuovo, which contains many facilities, including services, shops, and good restaurants. (The afternoon closing times do take some getting used to, since some of us on holiday don’t get moving till noon!) The town is also well situated for sightseeing and walking/hiking in the hills of the Garfagnana area, and is only an hour’s drive from Lucca. There is a good train service. There are also many other small towns in the area to visit.
The villa itself is very spacious, on two levels and a loft, with quality, heirloom furniture, comfortable beds, enough bathrooms, and a well appointed kitchen.
Paolo and his wife, Maria Christina, were gracious people, who take pride in their role as hosts. They were always available for our requests, and responded to them promptly and courteously. Paolo gave us a tour of the property and explained its interesting history. He is a well informed tourist guide. Maria Christina baked us a traditional tuscan cake – a new taste experience for us.
We heartily recommend the Villa il Nido for an enjoyable vacation.
We have included some pictures of the vistas outside the villa.
