Beautiful natural stone house with private garden, pool, barbecue and panoramic terrace. The (very reserved) landlord lives in the neighbouring house and can give great recommendations on restaurants and places to visit. Three nice cool bedrooms.Would you recommend this property to a friend? Yes
We had wonderful holidays at Il Nido ! The house is really great, and the owners, Paolo and Maria Cristina, who live just next to il Nido, really make you feel welcome !
The swimming pool is small but nice, and our children much enjoyed it ! The garden is very well maintained by Paolo, and is very pleasant.
The area is superb, nature is preserved, and it is a pleasure to be in Tuscany while not seeing too many tourists. We visited Lucca (not far), Pisa, and even Cinque Terre.
We hope we will get a chance to rent this house again !Would you recommend this property to a friend? Yes
Villa Il Nido, is the peferct base to explore North Tuscany. The owners make you feel very welcome. The garden is well kept and the house was spotlessly clean. However the furniture has seen better days, but is comfortable enough. The property could benefit from mosquito nets and air con, but don't let this put you off as it is a lovely spacious house.
The Villa is situated at the top of a hill and has excellent views across Castelnuovo.
It is a 10-15 minute walk to the local shops,bar and resturants.
There are many small and picturesque villages to explore and because its off the beaten track , prices are very reasonable.eg 6 euro for a pizza , 2 euro for coffee and cake.
The train station is 5 mins drive and has direct links to Lucca and Pisa and one change to get to Florence.
All in all a lovely place to stay... we will be returning.Would you recommend this property to a friend? Yes

Villa Il Nido was a beautiful villa - We stayed in Serendipity during the first week of October. The property surrounding the villa was beautiful, well-maintained and we had a spectacular view. The inside of the house was also very nice and was certainly very roomy, although we did only have 4 adults staying there. Paulo was an informative host and provided plenty of info on things to see and do in nearby towns. Castelnuovo was a very short (at most 5 minutes) drive away and you could even walk to town but the walk back involved going up a fairly steep hill. Still, it was definately worth being up where we were for the view and the peaceful setting. As far as location, I enjoyed being in Castelnuovo in that it was a little off the beaten path - there was still plenty to do close by and other larger cities were not too far away, although the only one we went to while there was Lucca - our original intent was to take it easy and just enjoy the outdoors and dining available to us in Tuscany, which we did. There were plenty of restaurants in Castelnuovo but we did try to get out and try a few in neighboring towns also. Overall, I would recommend the villa to anyone wishing to stay for a while in Tuscany and would love to return sometime.

Villa Il Nido is very well taken care of and the owners are nice and helpful. The view from the hill is magnificent. The linving room/kitchen floor is large and works nicely for a larger group, too, as well as the patio. We stayed with a family of five and enjoyed our two weeks a lot.

This place was perfect for my family. We wanted a relaxing, country setting, and we got it!. The villa was very clean and nicely decorated. Owners Paulo and Christina were very nice, very helpful and spoke enough English that we could communicate. It is only a short walk down into town - and up all the way home - where there are many restaurants and bars with good food and drink. It is best to have a car if you want to see the spectacular surrounding area.
Would you recommend this property to a friend? Yes
Il Nido is a lovely property and Paolo a very helpful host. The property was well equipped and within walking dstance of the town and several restaurants. Lucca is about 50 mins by train and Pisa is about one and a half hours and it is an easy drive to Barga, Massa and Carrera. However Florence and Sienna would be a longer journey.
The practise of charging for final cleaning and the large deposit required we feel were a negative side of this propertyWould you recommend this property to a friend? Yes
What an amazing place. Everything about Villa Il Nido was fantastic - including the wonderful hospitality shown to us by Paolo and his family. It is hard to put into words the extent at which this property met all our needs. The pool is gorgeous and not too cold, the bedrooms are very comfortable and lovely and cool in the heat. The kitchen and dining area are extremely well equipped and the views are breathtaking. Thank you Maria Christina for the beautiful fresh vegetables - your generosity and hospitality were appreciated and without any intrusion at all to our . Thank you - we will be back.

We stayed in Villa Il Nido in the summer of 2011 and had a wonderful time there. We - a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 little children) really appreciated the villa and the surrounding area. The villa is situated on the top of a hill and has a lot of privacy. The main house (in which the owner and his family lives) is near the villa. Paolo and his family (wife and sons and a kind dog) are very warm and kind people and know exactly how to please their guests. They are there if you need them, but do not interfere with your life. An example: when I needed WiFi for my tablet (there was 'only' cabled internet), it was installed and working the next day! The swimming pool is secluded and private and perfect to relax. We really would advice friends to pay this villa a visit!

We went to Villa Il Nido in October 2010 looking for a family holiday with 3 children (ages 7, 6 and almost 2). We has a fantastic relaxing time here, didn't want to do any of the big city tours as the kids are too young for it so instead with spend our time in th ehouse and doing small explorations around the area. We were given lots of information about restaurants and things to do by our hosts and we followed their directions, which tooks us to some really nice places to eat. In comparison with our time in venice and Rome, this was very relaxing, food nice and cheap and you get to learn more about the real Italy, which is what we wanted.
The house is big, warm and comfortable, all you need to do is go to the supermarket, everything else is in the house. The view from the house is amazing.
Great chill out time. Totally recommend it.Would you recommend this property to a friend? Yes
This property is one of two stylish barn conversions next to the owners house. It is simply but comfortably furnished for six people (except there was only seating in the lounge area for four). The building is cut into the hillside with the bedrooms downstairs. This no doubt keeps them nice and cool in summer, but when we were there they suffered from damp despite central heating. Castelnuovo has all amenities and is very central for the Garfanana region, but bear in mind the property is a quarter of a mile up a steep and narrow poorly surfaced lane, but by the same token has spectacular views of the mountaneous countryside around. We particularly liked the roofed terrace area at the rear of the property for sunbathing and al fresco meals. The log fire came in useful on cool October nights and Paulo kindly supplied logs for us.
Would you recommend this property to a friend? Yes
A lovely villa, really well appointed and finished to a very high standard. You can tell that the owners take pride in having developed an old out building into what is now a splendid property. The owner, Paulo, speaks passable English and will do anything to help. We were particularly pleased with his local restaurant recommendations as well as his help in getting a minor repair on our car done by a local garage. I can't recommend the villa and it's owners highly enough.

We had a delightful week at Villa Il Nido. We were 5 adults and found the villa clean, spacious and very comfortable. We enjoyed being away from the crowds in the main tourist areas yet had easy access to Lucca,Barga,Pisa and Cinque Terre. Other activities we enjoyed were a wine and olive oil tasting nearby and having a private cooking lesson in the Villa.
We shared quite a few bottles of wine sitting by the fireplace or looking over the mountain vistas. The restaurants in town were very good and the gelato at the bottom of the hill was excellent.
Our host Paolo and his wife were accessible and very helpful (and the home made cookies and pastries were a nice treat!)

The perfect place to relax and enjoy the pool and the view or the perfect home base to see Lucca, Barga Torre del Lago and Florence and Pisa. The town of Castelnuovo de Garfagnana was a wonderful place top eat dinner and to stroll around the streets near the Fortress.

Villa Il Nido is a lovely villa that you and your family will enjoy. It is a very modern, clean 3-bed/3-bath unit that can easily accommodate 6-8 people comfortably. There is a fully contained kitchen to cook a few meals on those days when relaxing between trips to our towns/regions. The villa is in the Alpinnes Mountain and is within walking distance to the town of Castel Garafagnana. There is a lovely swimming fountain, green grass to walk/lay and enjoy, and the hosts are very warm and friendlyly. Pablo and his wife are very sweet and add to the appeal of Villa Il Nido. They have a very nice garden and may bring over fresh vegtables for one of those "home" cook meal days.
My family and I truly enjoyed the villa.Would you recommend this property to a friend? Yes

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.
