  We had an absolutely wonderful and magical stay in the Stone House villa in Borgo ai Lecci in Orentano. Franco and his family are outstanding hosts who attend to every... read more need of their guests! We were a multi-generational group of 11, ranging in age from 1-74, and celebrating a family reunion. The Stone House villa is so comfortable and welcoming, and with a variety of amenities. Aside from spending relaxing time by the pool and garden areas, we were able to take numerous, lovely excursions throughout the Tuscan countryside (all for less than a 30 minute drive) to Montecarlo, San Miniato, Montecatini Terme, Lucca and the Pinocchio Park in Collodi. Franco and his family pampered us with a delicious Welcome Dinner and we took advantage of the Pasta Making Workshop they offered. The panoramic landscape of olive trees surrounding the property was so special, and as a family we created many beautiful memories during our stay! Grazie Franco! We hope to return one day!

  Everything about the stay was absolutely perfect! Franco is the best host I’ve ever encountered and the home is stunning. Every detail has been carefully curated to enhance your... read more stay.

I only wish we had more time to spend there.

  En Helt igennem fantastisk ferie i Francos skønne Stone hus. Vi var 10 Pers. Som har haft den bedste ferie oplevelse man kunne ønske sig.

Franko og hans... read more datter Sonia, var altid til rådighed, de leverede den bedst mulige service, man kunne ønske sig. Billederne er gode, men virkeligheden overgik langt billederne, da det var mere lækkert i virkeligheden.

Lige fra ankomsten, følte man sig velkommen. De havde sørget for at der ved ankomst, var hjemmebagt kager, frugt samt div. Drikkevare. Der var også sørget for, der var til den første morgenmad. Der var desuden grillkul og optænding, samt deres egen hjemme presset olivenolie mm.

Francos service var langt ud over hvad man kan forvente, som foruden hans meget nyttige vejledninger og forklaringer til div. Ture til Luca og Pisa, hjalp Franco også med at få min bil til mekaniker, hvor han kørte med for at hjælpe med at tolke mm. så tusind tak for hjælpen!!

Vi giver Franco og hans familie 10 ud af 10 og kommer Meget gerne tilbage igen.

  Franco and his family are the most wonderful hosts! The best Airbnb we have ever had. We stayed for five weeks and their villa was a dream place... read more to stay. We and our family and friends enjoyed it immensely. There was plenty of space, beautiful surroundings, fun activities for all ages and delicious food, if you chose to have some meals made.
We loved the small, quiet town of Orentano- very local and quaint. Nearby Altopascio has all the amenities you may need.
And it’s close to many tourist sites- easy drives to them. Most of all, the warmth and kindness of the family was so nice - We would love to come back someday.

  Das Haus und der Garten sind ein absoluter Traum !Super sauber und perfekt ausgestattet! Wir hatten eine tolle Zeit als Familie mit 5 Kindern und es war alles da,was man... read more benötigte und mehr !Francos Frau hat uns zur Ankunft sogar Kuchen gebacken und fürs erste Frühstück war schon für Essen und Getränke gesorgt .
Franco war immer erreichbar und hat uns mit Restaurant-und Ausflugstipps weitergeholfen. Das ganze Gelände ist top gepflegt und es gibt Fußballtore und andere Spielsachen für Kinder .
Man spürt und sieht,wie viel Liebe Franco und seine Familie in die Unterkunft stecken.
Wir kommen definitiv wieder !

  I was drawn to Franco’s place because of rave reviews from prior guests, and was not disappointed. The Stonehouse is beautifully restored with every detail carefully curated (I loved the... read more stone sink in the kitchen and beautiful wooden joinery detail); it also has all the mod cons, including air conditioning. We were greeted by Franco and his daughter on arrival (both having stayed up until after midnight because of our delayed flight), shown around the beautiful house and grounds and plied with amazing home-baked treats. From there our stay just got better - we enjoyed the beautiful large private pool, (a selection of inflatables supplied for the kids!), ping pong and foosball tables. Franco had excellent suggestions for outings to local cities (Pisa, Lucca, Florence, and some smaller towns) and we found his directions for parking, which museums to go to, etc, incredibly helpful. We enjoyed a pasta making class with Franco and also his wife’s delicious catering. Would love to return.

  We had an absolutely unforgettable stay at Franco's house for our vacation. Franco and his family were the perfect hosts - very responsive, warm, and friendly. Franco had a lot... read more of recommendations for places to visit in the local area, including wineries, restaurants, and supermarkets. The house itself is magical with every amenity possible and of course in a beautiful setting in the Tuscan countryside. Franco and his family offered pastamaking classes and homecooked meals, which were wonderfully done, delicious, and family friendly.

Our time in Tuscany flew by and we are already missing our trip, all due to Franco and his family's hospitality. We definitely 100% recommend!

  I cannot express how magical our time was at Franco's Villa in Stone, as well as the luxurious cottage our large family group enjoyed for a week. As he... read more and his daughter Sonia greeted us and provided a friendly tour of the homes and grounds, we were so very pleased with every touch - from the home-baked goods, drinks and treats to welcome us after a long travel day, to the monogrammed slippers and robes, and even their own beautiful vials of olive oil pressed from their orchard. Every comfort was thought of and provided making it all better than expected. We had total privacy and security inside the gated multi-acre gardens, two refreshing swimming pools to spend hours in, lovely grounds and games to explore, and Franco just across the way in his own beautifully restored historic villa, pretty much at our beck and call anytime should we need him almost like a concierge. He went above and beyond fixing an incorrect toll ticket we received among other help we are so very grateful for.

  We were two families staying at Franco’s. The house and the garden/pool had everything we needed for a great stay. The children played with the games and played football in... read more the night, used the pool all the time. Franco recomended a restaurant in «Town», and it was a great italian experience. The house was big, clean and had all the utensils we needed. The location of the house made it great for day trips. As it were very hot during our stay, we spent three days on the much cooler beach, and one day on a boat trip to Cinque Terra. In the mornings we visited small villages and Lucca.

We will be back!
