House vacation rentals in Villa Collemandina

We had an absolutely wonderful stay with Bryan and Sara! Reaching the accommodation requires a short hike, but you’re rewarded with stunning views – and the luggage is conveniently brought up by a small tractor. From the very beginning, everything was perfect. The house, garden, and pool are absolutely beautiful – a true little paradise. Everything was clean and lovingly maintained. Bryan and Sara are incredibly warm and welcoming hosts who do everything they can to make your stay special. Since we arrived late, Sara kindly offered to prepare a lovely dinner for us, and Bryan gave us a little pizza-making class – such a great experience! Their helpfulness and kindness, combined with the magical charm of the accommodation, made our stay truly unique and unforgettable. Thanks a lot :)

As others have said—all of the reviews are spot on! A unique setting in the countryside about 30 minutes drive to Parma on mountain roads, beautiful historic building and grounds (with tastefully updated bathrooms to go with the historic charm, plus even a clothes washer and dryer you can access, a rarity in Italy), and a consummate host in Maria Teresa. Using her knowledge and connections to get personalized tours of smaller local parmigiano and prosciutto factories was a real highlight, and we especially enjoyed the nearby Torrechiara castle as well. The kids loved her animals too. 10/10 stay!

Amazing place! Nestled in the beautiful surroundings of the Lucca hills. Very peaceful. Lots of birdsong. We saw a deer in the garden! The grounds are brilliant and the place is the perfect size for a couple. We loved eating on the terrace with the great view, and swimming in the private pool. Only a short drive to Lucca which has some amazing restaurants (our favourite was Osteria de Pasquale). There’s some great vineyards in the area - our favourite was Fattoria Sardi. If I was reading this review I wouldn’t think twice about booking!

We expected this villa and views to be amazingly but it was above our expectations would definately recommed it, Jeroen emailed clear directions andchecking in info but he also videoed the sign and road to look out for and videoed the road down to the villa as it wasn't signposted. The villa has 360° panaramic views, and is not overlooked at all, with a fab infinity pool. Very clean and modern, had everything u needed. It was a pleasent change to have plenty of everything in the kitchen,crockery and glasses all matching and stacked high. Washing machine and dishwasher were added bonuses along with the little shop just up the road. 5 star all the way.

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

I can agree with the other reviews, we had a wonderful vacation here. Jonny and Susanne are very warm, helpful hosts and have put a lot of passion into renovating the old farmhouse. Our highlights: - High quality of the facility - Clean pool with perfect temperature to cool off - Comfortable beds - Great view - Varied breakfast - Top outdoor kitchen - E-bikes with a lot of power, it was really fun They also had lots of insider tips for excursions and restaurants. It was an unforgettable vacation for us ☺️ In the evening, the insects come, but the whole house has fly screens and outside there is an evaporator against mosquitoes, so you can sit outside without stings on the warm summer nights and watch the fireflies 🥰

Friendly host and always available for any request. Clean and quiet apartment. Clean Swimming Pool. A great retreat for a relaxing weekend. Highly recommended

We had the pleasure of spending a week in Maria's beautiful house on Lake Vagli. The location right by the reservoir is simply fantastic and offers stunning views. The place is very cozy and well equipped – there was nothing missing! Particularly noteworthy is the kindness and helpfulness of the hosts. We were immediately supported with every question or request. It was a wonderful time and we highly recommend the house. Many thanks to Maria and her family!

We loved staying in Carolina’s house in Montecatini Alto. It was a lovely welcoming place to wake up in and return to at the end of the day. The view from the windows and the patio is extraordinary and sitting out enjoying it was one of the best parts of the holiday. The house had all we needed. Carolina was a wonderful host; friendly, quick to reply and extremely helpful. The village is a lovely quiet place to stay and we wouldn’t look anywhere else if we return to the area.

Lovely place with spectacular views in quiet surroundings. Perfect for truly relaxing holidays. The house is beautifully renovated (and even better than in the pictures) with lots of space for everyone. There is lots of wildlife including wild boars, porcupine, deer and fox. Watch out for scorpions (normal for the area and not dangerous, but be careful with dogs or kids). The pool is very nice and clean, too. It is possible to do nice walks nearby (good hiking shoes and maybe hiking sticks recommended)

Wonderful place to stay to relax and reflect. Fantastic opportunity to walk and explore the mountains.

Alessandro's accommodation is great for those who want to get away from the chaos of the city, it is in a quiet location and surrounded by greenery but still close to a lot of areas of interest such as Forte dei Marmi (20min), Marina di Carrara (10min) and so on... it is a very strategic place, especially if you have pets with you. Our little dachshund - Focaccia - was able to run freely in the huge garden in front of the accommodation - a place where my partner and I decided to have dinner every evening enjoying the beautiful sunset 🌇 The accommodation is beautiful, new and equipped with a really super-stocked kitchen (we could even make pizza!). We were also very pleased with the presence of an air conditioner. We will definitely be back, we highly recommend it 🫶🏼 N.B. Alessandro has always been super helpful in answering all my questions and giving me valuable advice on what to see/where to eat, etc. Thank you Alessandro for your infinite patience?

Wonderful house, stunning view and garden and very equipped house + outdoor kitchen. Love it.

We had a very nice week at 6 with 2 teenagers and 2 children. Lerici which is 2 km away is a good starting point to visit the 5 Terres by boat. Lerici and Tellaro are also very nice to visit. The accommodation is calm and comfortable. The different terraces are pleasant.

Great experience: superlative welcome from the host's father, home in order and clean, wonderful area. There were 6 of us, including 2 children, and we had a great time! Highly recommended!

Lovely home with beautiful view of the mountains. Connected to the village but few houses and people close. Host was very kind. Would definitely recommend!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at I Pini, the house was well furnished and comfortable with everything we needed and the view is just stunning, the photos really don’t do it justice! Everything was as described and we had a lovely time there, helped by Cristina and her team’s thorough information provided about the local area and their quick responses to any questions or messages. Lerici itself is a beautiful town with lots of things to do close by, including day trips to the Cinque Terre and Pisa. I am sure we will be back in the future!

Fantastic location with fantastic views from the balcony over the village, mountains and forests. A typical old Tuscan house, modern and newly renovated inside. Great excursion tips, adapted to temperature and family with dog. On the first trip, we would recommend buying one before, as it takes about 20 minutes to drive to the nearest large store. Curvy narrow mountain road but tarred and little traffic. Roby is very likeable, helpful and not intrusive. House and location highly recommended. A place where you can forget the time. We will definitely come back again.

It was wonderful to live in the middle of Tellaro and have breakfast on the roof terrace with the fantastic view! The cottage is very skillfully renovated and lovingly furnished with selected pieces. It had everything we needed and we were very nicely received by Lola. There are some stairs in the house that you have to climb to finally end up on the roof terrace, you should be aware of that. We had a great, relaxing time hiking (directly from the house), visiting Cinque Terre, swimming again and again and of course trying the restaurants on site. It was all perfect thank you so much!

I'm having trouble squeezing all the great things we experienced during our week at Le Casette in a short review. It's the most amazing peaceful location, while you still have the chance to have an absolutely tasty dinner in the town in the valley. You have the chance to go on a picturesque hike, starting from the house, and then arrive back and chill on the terrace with your carbonara and prosecco while fireflies light up the forest. It's just... perfect. Marco is a super nice host, but really, everyone we met up there was just so kind, you are greeted with Italian hospitality at its best here. We got valuable recommendations for activities and Marco is the most responsive host I ever met. The house itself is a jewellery box, such nice details and we found it very comfy and spacious. Embrace the Panda and take a chance on this gem of an accommodation. :)

Our stay at Vallico di Sopra was really magical. It is a very quiet and wonderful little village nestled into the mountain side with interesting walks very close by. The location of the apartment was fantastic. To be so close to these majestic and beautiful mountains was breathtaking. It was a delight to be able to step out onto the balcony and be in the presence of mountains and an exquisite sense of peace. The apartment was wonderful with many of the original features still in place. The windows with their beautiful wooden shutters opened out onto beautiful and interesting views The apartment itself was well equipped for a very comfortable stay and we made the most of eating outside on the balcony. The village is quite remote with no shop but there is a brilliant local restaurant and a couple more nearby.

Emma's place is a beautiful little gem hidden in the mountains of Tuscany. We spent two weeks with our children in Cardoso and had a wonderful time. The wildlife in spring is incredible — we saw a wild fox, a wolf, snakes, and many lizards, which was both beautiful and surprising. The locals were friendly, and since there are no cars, there’s plenty of walking, which adds to the charm. The house itself is lovingly furnished, with a well-equipped kitchen and plenty of cooking utensils. We loved the instruments and games in the living room, along with a large collection of books and CDs. Mony provided us with numerous links upon arrival for nearby sites. Our only downside was that everything requires a bit of driving. We enjoyed the medieval charm of Lucca, the Art Deco beach promenade in Viareggio, and visited Podere Còncori, a biodynamic vineyard that we loved. There’s also a superstore market about 20 minutes away.

We had a wonderful time at this special place. Nestled in the hills in a peaceful village, it offers a stunning view of the Apennine Mountains. The house is so beautiful that you could easily spend your entire stay just relaxing—on the terrace, in the pool, or cooking in the outdoor kitchen. That said, the surrounding region also has a lot to offer: amazing beaches and charming, less crowded, colorful villages. I was a bit worried about the internet connection before arriving, but the Wi-Fi worked perfectly throughout our stay. Sometimes there were four of us working remotely—two in the upstairs living room and two on the terrace, and we had no issues at all. The kitchen was also very well equipped. Marjolein and her husband were incredibly warm and welcoming, and communication was smooth and easy. Honestly, it couldn’t have been better. Thank you so much!

I would give 10 stars if possible! What a wonderful Airbnb - one of the best I’ve ever stayed in. Beautiful and clean house, and so peaceful with breathtaking views and in a fantastic village with lots of walking as well as a sweet little restaurant and a handy shop which was open from early until late. A very easy drive to Lucca and lots of other sweet villages in the hills. We also did a fantastic hike right from the front door. The kitchen and bathroom were very thoughtfully equipped and the BBQ was an excellent bonus. Elisa and Roberto were so lovely and helpful. I would recommend this to anyone - and may even return myself one day so I can sit on that beautiful terrace and take in those views again.
