This was an absolutely wonderful place to stay! The compound of Flavia was so recently renovated that we felt like we were in a brand new modern apartment when we were inside and in a charming little village when we were outside. The grounds are beautiful and inviting with a lovely pool and multiple seating areas as well as beautiful views. Check in and out was very easy! Our security deposit was returned in full. I forgot that 2nd floor in Europe is the 3rd floor to Americans. The staircase to our apt. on the actual 3rd floor was very steep and narrow. Had I known that, I’d have asked for a lower floor. I would have felt perfectly safe on the ground floor. All of the apartments, pool, and parking are in what is like a conclave and is secured by high fences and a locked gate. The owners could not have been nicer! We had quite a bit of trouble finding Flavia and would suggest a sign go up in the village as other vacation homes have done. I would also suggest good written directions.
I highly recommend Flavia! You will love the modern conveniences and the charming old world ambience. The location is fabulous – so close to Lucca, Pisa, and an easy drive to Cinque Terre and the Italian Rivera. I would also highly recommend Easy Reserve Vacation Villas as a booking agent. Great website, info, and service.

Appartement is zeer geschikt voor 4/5 personen. Twee ruime slaapkamers met eigen badgelegenheid. De huiskamer is vrij karig ingericht maar beschikt over een goed bed voor een 5e persoon. Kleine keuken, je kunt er echter wel een maaltijd in bereiden. Geen wasmachine, koffiezetapparaat,vaatwasser. Nadeel van dit appartement was het terras. Dit was erg klein en feitelijk niet bruikbaar. Wij hebben daarom gebruik gemaakt van het tegenover gelegen tuingedeelte, hetgeen een redelijk alternatief was. De terrassen bieden bij de appartementen in dit gebouw geen privacy en liggen dicht op elkaar.
Er is een klein zwembad bij het kasteel met ligstoelen er omheen en een mooie aangrenzende tuin met voldoende schaduw waar je heerlijk kunt zitten. Goede uitvalsbasis voor Florence, Pisa, Siena, Volterra, Luca.
Restaurant van het hotel heeft een zeer beperkte kaart. Er zijn echter genoeg geschikte alternatieven in de buurt.

[English translation courtesy of Easy Reserve] Apartment is suitable for 4/5 persons. Two spacious bedrooms with private bathrooms. The living room has pretty sparse furnishings but has a good bed for a 5th person. Small kitchen, you can prepare a meal however. No washing machine, coffee maker, dishwasher. The disadvantage of this apartment was the terrace. This was very small and not actually usable. We have therefore used the opposite garden area, which was a reasonable alternative. The terraces of the apartments in this building offer no privacy and are close to each other.
There is a small pool at the castle with sun loungers around it and a nice adjoining garden with plenty of shade where you can sit. Good base for Florence, Pisa, Siena, Volterra, Lucca.
The restaurant on the property had a very small menu choice. However, there are plenty of suitable alternatives nearby.
