A marvellous week in Marginone

We spent a full week at Tenuta Albereta, which constitutes a truly comfortable, fully-fledged and quiet summer residence. The extensive premises are located on the green outskirks of Marginone - a lovely little village close to Altopascio. The spacious house is surrounded by woods, vineyards and olive groves. Moreover, it offers a great view of the mountains around Pisa. Hence, we found everything in order to make our stay at Tenuta Albereta an outstanding experience. I

Skønt hus med masser af plads til mange og en dejlig pool

Skønt hus med masser af plads til en stor familie på 13 prs. Poolenvar et total hit med 5 børn og voksne vandhunde. Beliggenhed fin tæt på indkøb, hovedveje. God is i Altopascio . Eneste minus var myggene som var en stor plage. Værten var meget imødekommende og hjælpsom med tips til restauranter og udflugtsmål. Vi kommer gerne igen medbringende svensk myggespray

A Special Family Tri[p

William K. Thr trip to end all trips   5 of 5 First off, a special thanks to Alessandra, Sabrina,Mirco and everyone else who turned this trip into such a fantastic time. We had a total of 28 people join us during the month of June. And everyone of the 28 agreed it could not have been any better. The Villa-pool and grounds were just as wonderful as could be. A bit of magic and heaven for all of us. We like to think it's just being with the Kiaune family but the Villa and the surroundings added so much more. Your efforts and all the others involved made for a great and treasured time. Marginone is such a beautiful little place and right down the road. It boasts a lovely little pastry shop(expresso,cappuccino etc) an upscale Osteria Fellini a pizzeria with pasta dishes and pizza and a beautiful little Church that my wife fell in love with. We heard Angels sing there. And Montecarlo also right down the road has beautiful shops and restaurants. The town of Altopascio has a rail station and you can easily ride to Lucca and Florence and Pisa. So Alessandra again thank you- thank you-thank you. Wish we were still there.

tres belle expérience

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans cette belle maison, nous étions 8 adultes et 6 enfants, la maison est très agréable, spatieuse, il y a même une dépendance pour ceux qui veulent s'isoler un peu plus, on a bien profité de la piscine, il y a un supermarché à 5 minutes de la maison, elle est bien située pour visiter Florence, Lucca, Sienne, Pise et San Gimignano, accueil sympathique d'Alessandra qui nous a préparé un bon repas pour le 1er soir . Nous recommandons cette location

Du charme toscan !

Grande maison toscane au charme indéniable où nous avons passé à 9 personnes une semaine très agréable. Nous avons apprécié la vue superbe sur Lucca depuis la vaste terrasse, la tranquillité des lieux à quelques aboiements près, les chambres spacieuses ainsi que la gentillesse des propriétaires et voisins. Seul bémol, l'accès à la maison qui s'effectue par une route très étroite en lacets où, sauf à certains endroits, ne peuvent se croiser 2 véhicules, ce qui peut engendrer une appréhension certaine pour les conducteurs. Par ailleurs, l'entretien des extérieurs (bancs en pierre notamment) ou la vérification du bon fonctionnement des éclairages mériteraient une meilleure attention avant l'arrivée des locataires.

Une maison de charme dans un bel environnement

Maison typique, bien équipée et bien située pour visiter la Toscane.Une très jolie vue sur la campagne et l'ombre appréciable d'un tilleul et d'un châtaigner. Un seul regret : nous avons eu de très fortes chaleurs , nous avons dormi les fenêtres ouvertes (équipées de moustiquaires)...mais nos nuits, dans cet endroit au demeurant très calme, étaient perturbées par les aboiements des deux chiens de la maison voisine.

Claude et toute sa famille ont aimés.

Quoi de plus inespéré que de passer 15 jours ensoleillés, dans cette maison pleine de charme, au milieu de la campagne, bordée de grands pins, de chênes, de vignes ,sans parler des oliviers qui bordent la piscine "et qui à été fortement appréciée tout au long ne nos vacances." Nous avons été ravie d'être accueilli par Alessandra qui nous à donné de bonnes adresses, pour découvrir ainsi les mets locaux par l'intermédiaire d'Erica(qui parle bien le Français), et qui nous préparé un soirée dégustation de choix avec possibilité de visites au village de Montécarlo, nous avons passé une soirée authentique, avec achats de vins et d'huile d'olive de la région. Nous avons apprécié également sur ce site de Montecarlo, les soirées musicales, et divers animations ainsi que ces nombreux petits restaurants. Nous avons découvert les sites environnants , montagnes proches avec des chemins de randonnés, ainsi que la proximité des villes , Florence , Pise , Lucca, Montécatini Terme, Pistoia, et dans le Chianti Certaldo Alto " son funiculaire", et la charmante ville médiévale de San Gimignano... Nous vous recommandons cette location pour sa simplicité, ainsi que l'hospitalité et la disponibilité d'Alessandra, qui nous à fait confiance, et laissé sa maison en toute liberté. La Ténuta Albereta, restera longtemps dans nos souvenirs. Claude

The Trip of all Trips

I just want to say to you, Sabrina, Mirco and all the people who made our stay so fantastic, a hearty thank you. Everything was memorable and all of the family and friends could not say enough about the Villa and the wonderful time that was had by all. It was a bit of magic and heaven for all of us. We like to think it's just being with the Kiaune family but the Villa and the surroundings added so much more. Your efforts and all the others involved made for a great and treasured time. Marginone is a beautiful little place and many fell in love with it. A beautiful pastry shop(expresso,cappucino etc) an upscale Osteria Fellini(great pasta dishes and pizza) And a beautiful little church were the people sang like Angels. Brought a teat to my wife's eye. Likewise with Montecarlo with it's restaurants and shops also just a bit down the road. a train station in Alto pascio makes travel to Lucca and Florence easy. So please, again, thank everyone for us. We so had a great and wonderful time

Wonderful Tuscany Vacation

Ten friends traveled from North Carolina in the US to vacation at Alessandra's villa in Marginone. Everyone had a great time. Small groups did various day trips. We visited and ate in Montecarlo, and Marginone. We took the train to Pisa, some went to Rome for two days or Florence for the day. I went with three others to Cinque Tierre and hiked from Monterossa to Vernazza - absolutely gorgeous. We all came together one night for one of Alessandra's cooking class and dinner. The outside table and porch area were perfect for our dinner. It was even warm enough to enjoy the pool. The house is clean and comfortable and the property is well kept. For we Americans, the kitchen was a little small, but we managed just fine. We traveled and ate most dinners out. I would give a 4.5 but the program won't let me do one half of a star. Enjoy.

Excellent Villa for Group Holiday

Tenuta Albereta is a great venue for a group holiday and value for money. The accommodation matched our expectations with comfortable spacious bedrooms and bathrooms. The living areas worked well including the outdoor barbecue area under the verandah. Added to this, the grounds are well set out and private. The services and hospitality provided by the owner (Alessandra) were first class. The nearby town of Marginone (500 metres) has a very good Osteria/Pizzeria plus some useful local shops. Market and supermarket shopping is at Altopascio (about 4km away). The town of Montecarlo (2km) is a highlight and also has some more fine restaurants. Visiting Lucca is a must. We very much enjoyed our stay at Tenuta Albereta.

A lovely place in Serchio valley

We spent a fantastic holiday for two weeks at this beautiful and quiet place near Lucca. We stayed there with two families. it is a very nice place from where nearly every destination in Tuscanny can be reached within 2 hours. It is also a nice spot to begin hiking tours in the apuanian alps and the serchio valley. We didn´t miss anything within the two weeks and the guidance and help of Alessandra made everything easy an comfortable. Thanks a lot.

Maison magnifique à louer pour famille et amis

Nous avons passé une semaine mémorable dans cette splendide maison, spacieuse, très bien équipée, située dans un endroit tranquille, avec une vue magnifique sur la Toscane et aussi assez près des villes touristiques à visiter. J'aimerais remercier personnellement Alessandra Donati qui nous a accueilli très chaleureusement et nous a bien conseillé (ex: trouver des taxis pour un mariage à Lucca). Nous avons aussi pu profiter d'un cours de cuisine toscane à la villa, grâce à Alessandra. Toutes les personnes qui étaient avec nous loueraient cette maison, sans hésiter, lors d'un prochain voyage en Toscane. On en rêve encore!

Vacances de rêve

Notre plus beau séjour en italie. Maison extraordinaire: confortable, spacieuse, propre, bien équipée. La route à partir de Ponte à Moriano monte en une série de lacets étroits (extrèmement étroits) mais on s'y fait. La vue et la maison compensent largement ce petiti inconvénient. Rien à redire, on y retourne !

Appartement très bien situé. C'était très agréable de pouvoir se balader dans Lucca et revenir se reposer à l'appartement. Certaines nuits, les chambres étaient très confortables car calmes mais le restaurant du coin de la rue est malheureusement parfois bruyant ! Les clients viennent fumer et discuter dans la rue ... A part cela c'était super ! Beaucoup apprécié le joli bouquet du jardin de Donatella.

A kind of paradise!

We rented the full house for the ten of us (4 adults and 6 children) in august 2013. We all spent 2 wonderful weeks in this place! The view from the house is just wonderful. All equipments needed to spend good time on holidays are there, especially the kitchen was a great place to cook italian food! The materials in the house are typical and the decoration is really nice. The neighbors were also really kind with us. We have so enjoyed going at the river to swim almost everyday in the fresh water and play in the waterfalls! The area is absolutely great with a lot of wonderful things to see and do and so is this house. A kind of paradise in Toscane! Thanks to Alessandra, Margherita and Judith.

Preciosas vistas y una casa campestre con bastantes comodidades. Las habitaciones son amplias y luminosas. El entorno muy tranquilo y hermosos , pero de complicado acceso, carretera empinada y con muchisimas curvas, pero precisamente lo aislado del enclave es parte del encanto. El pueblo próximo, Ponte a Moriano, tiene algunos bares para desayunar, pero por la noche no hay muchos sitios donde cenar. Encantadoras tanto Alessandra (con la que realicé todo el trámite previo), como Margherita, que se esforzó por solucionar un problema que tuvimos con la T.V.

"This is a lovely apartme...

"This is a lovely apartment, light and spacious. Extra bonus was that there was a dishwasher too which I don''t think was mentioned in the description. It is a historic building - three storeys up (no lift but don''t let this put you off) but with space on the ground floor to store bikes (or in our case a pushchair). Several original features remain which added to the lovely atmosphere of the apartment and the area. It is not a swish and modernised place so if you like sparkling stainless steel etc, it may not be for you. Nice views of Piazza della Cittadella from the two front windows. Lots of nice shops (food and otherwise) very handy and a small supermarket about 5 or 6 minutes'' walk away. The railway station is within easy walking distance, as is Piazzale Verdi (where you arrive if you get the bus from Pisa Airport which I would recommend as it''s so easy and only cost 3 Euros each). To the front of the building it is quite lively and sometimes a bit noisy in the evenings, but the bedrooms face the back, which is much quieter so not a problem. Lots of English language reading material stored in the sitting room if you need it. The things which were not quite so great were the beds (not as comfortable as they could have been) and the TV reception which seemed rather sporadic. Free Wi-Fi is available (from Lucca City Tourist Board I think) but also not entirely reliable all the time. The apartment should probably have a fire extinguisher or fire blanket too - easily solved by the owners. The owners and the lady who handled our booking (Alessandra) were all lovely, very helpful and welcoming and there were fresh flowers in three of the rooms when we arrived. I would definitely recommend this place to others, and I feel like it was a lucky find."
