Overall: Fantastic villa tucked in the side of a mountain. Quiet and cozy spaces inside and out. Kitchen is long and narrow, but has plenty of counter space to prepare meals. Narrow passage-way of a road to the site. Caretaker Bruno was very accommodating, even with a lack of English. Enjoyed trying to use our limited Spanish to communicate in Italian!! Enjoyed Most: Outside area was wonderful to sit poolside (even in the middle of October). Many loungers and tables to socialize.An unexpected bonus was the cleaning staff that arrived three times within the week. Tidying up and sweeping the tile floors was very much appreciated. Another little something extra that made for a relaxing stay. Enjoyed Least: No clothes dryer, but washers worked well (if slowly). Tough drying clothes when rain and mist was mostly a daily occurrence. Surrounding Area: Nice areas to walk and hike. Road down to Nocchi was steep, but doable. Nice little pizzeria in Nocchi with outstanding customer service and many "extras"- antipasto, bread, limoncello. Nearby Events or Locales: Nocchi was a short, steep walk away. Made the trek 3-4 times in our week at the villa. Tips or Restaurants: Be prepared for the narrow, steep and rough roads. All the little cafes in Camaiore were excellent and very authentic. Friends arranged the personal chef and crew and it was a wonderful way to embrace the Italian culinary scene. Very knowledgeable and fun ladies (3) came all the way from near Florence and found their way to Villa Nocchi in the dark. They put on a six(6) course show- with a part of Giada and a part of Lidia, complete with four bottles of wine and limoncello to top the night off right! Directions: Followed the directions to a T! Great use of local landmarks to assure the travelers that they are on the correct path. Not easy to find, but what an adventure around every corner. Relax and take you time. Check In Out: Bruno was right on time to greet us when we arrived. (He lives just behind the villa in a cluster of three structures.)Very easy getting our full deposit back.
