We spent 6 nights here on our first vacation in Europe from Canada and the apartment served our needs completely. Easy Reserve, the rental agents, were very good to deal with, providing information ahead of time on buses from and to Florence and from Montecatini Terme to Montecatini Alto.
The location is magical. Montecatini Alto is a very old hilltop village, looking out over the Tuscan countryside. The Piazza has four restaurants, a small grocery/convenience store, and a wonderful gelato shop, as well as the usual souvenir shops. There is regular bus service to Montecatini Terme, public parking near the Piazza for cars, and to top it all, a funicular that runs every half hour until midnight (except for the usual mid-day lunch break) to get you down to Terme and back.
Everyone we met there was warm and friendly, and made us feel very welcome.
The apartment is well appointed, with modern appliances and updated finishes. We spent a lot of time on the balcony gazing at the vistas and listening to the church bells, the roosters crowing, and people below going about their lives. It was wonderful.
We rented a car to take day trips to Lucca, Viareggio and Castelnuovo di Garfagnana. The road to Alto is hilly and twisty but we got used to it right away and we could be in Terme within ten minutes.
The owner doesn’t speak English, and our Italian is even worse, but he was lovely to deal with and we managed with hand gestures, sketches and Google translate. Be sure to ask him about the art in the living room. He arranged for a taxi to take us all to the train station when we were leaving, and because the taxi could only take four of us, he drove one of us down himself.
If we get the opportunity to return, we would definitely stay here again, and we highly recommend this apartment to others.

We were very happy with the villa. It was lovely and suited our needs.
Getting there was a little difficult because the roads are terrible, but the place itself is fine. The peace and quiet was wonderful.

Leonardo and Claudia are wonderful people. We had a great time with them in their fantastic Villa! I think it's the best place we've stayed in during our trips in Tuscany! Every year we are in Tuscany!! I really wish to come back to enjoy this peacefulness again!

Fantastisch huis, ruim en prachtige tuin. Zeer vriendelijke ontvangst van eigenaar die we bijna iedere dag hebben gezien en aan wie we al onze vragen kwijkt konden. We hebben twee mooie weken gehad, we waren met 9 mensen. Als we de kans krijgen gaan we zeker nog een keer terug.
[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] Fantastic house, spacious and beautiful garden. Very friendly welcome from the owner whom we've seen almost every day, and to whom we could ask all our questions. We had two great weeks, we were 9 people. If we get the chance we will definitely be back again.

Non vorrei essere troppo enfatico, per non togliere il gusto a chi mi leggerà, ma il nostro soggiorno è stato proprio fantastico. Il posto è incantevole, l'arredo di gusto ma semplice, il paesaggio drammatico come sa esserlo la conformazione delle meravigliose colline toscane. Olio squisito, vino un po' meno. Cortesia e discrezione. Firenze vicina. Ne è valsa la pena.

We hebben erg genoten van ons verblijf! De omgeving en t uitzicht zijn geweldig, het huis heel sfeervol en ruim! Het enige minpuntje is het meubilair in de living, als t onverhoopt slecht weer is, zit je niet echt lekker binnen. Verder prima! Houd rekening met t feit dat er extra betaald moet worden voor t gasverbruik, wij hadden prachtig warm weer, maar als je de hele week moet stoken kan t aardig oplopen.
[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] We very much enjoyed our stay! The surroundings and the views are great, the house very cozy and spacious! The only downside is the furniture in the living room, if it is unexpectedly bad weather, the living room is not so comfortable. The rest is fine! Consider the fact that the heating is payable extra, we had beautiful warm weather, but if you must heat the house the whole week it can be expensive.
