Beautiful stay
The house is an absolutely stunning location. Breath taking views every morning, even if the weather did always play ball. There are some lovely areas to walk in and explore nearby and a few very nice local restaurants but these can get booked up very quickly. Even when it was raining we enjoyed our stay as the dense forests provided plenty of cover and there are excellent trips to caves and nearby cities such as Lucca and Barga that are easy drives. The roads in the valley are quite narrow but traffic is generally very light so you I'd recommend not renting an SUV as it makes it much more challenging to pass other cars at points.

Family holiday
The communication from Mike throughout was excellent. The property itself was spacious, well equipped and has several terraced areas, which are perfect for either a large family or 2 x families. Because it’s in the mountains the views are absolutely outstanding, we spent many evenings sipping wine and playing games on the terrace. The pool area is spacious with plenty of Sun loungers and there is a large parasol to give shade when needed. We did many a trip out but we especially enjoyed Lucca which is about 45 min away and Barga which is about 30 min away. The local shop ( down the mountain) has a reasonable supply of goods and lovely fresh bread. We also ate at Da Sandra’s which was very good and reasonable. All in all a thoroughly enjoyable holiday, which we didn’t want to end.

Fantastic getaway in beautiful location
Great house with everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. Very good kitchen and lounge. Pool is great and outdoor dining /barbecue. Honestly was nothing more we could have wanted during our stay, there were guidebooks and maps, great WiFi, board games and Scrabble. Loved the location, unspoiled and the night skies terrific too. Local restaurant Da Sandra well worth a visit. Spar in local village very friendly. Nearby towns have everything and look out the very special deli L'Aia Di Piero in Castelnuovo di Garfagnana. A car is needed but we loved the roads, terrific panoramas.

Tuscan retreat
Beautiful rustic Tuscan retreat in the mountains with breathtaking views. We enjoyed barbecues and breakfasts on the terrace and relaxing by the pool. The road up was quite an experience but we got used to it and visited Lucca, Barga and the local villages, plus a fabulous Sunday lunch at Sandra’s. Michael was very accommodating and helpful. The peace and quiet, beautiful scenery and space made for a very relaxing holiday.

Traditional rural farmhouse
This was a very last minute booking but it proved to be a rare find/ real gem for nature lovers who appreciate the panoramic views and medieval hill top villages. We wanted an authentic/traditional Tuscan farmhouse and we were not disappointed. The house was spacious especially with access to the metato. The pool was an ideal size and depth. To get there we followed the instructions sent to us which were very accurate- the road up is a bit steep and winding but the views you get en route are amazing - the road is nothing a confident driver would struggle with but you need to take your time and enjoy it. The property was excellent value for money compared to other villas we looked at in Italy but was a welcoming safe get away for us all during the Covid pandemic. The villa is within easy travelling distance of Lucca, Pisa and the beaches (try the free beach at Marina Lago del Puccini rather than paying at Viareggio) plus local villages such as Barga.

Lovely place, but some things to be aware of.
We had a great week and the location is beautiful! It was very clean and the layout of the property is very conducive to having two different families stay. With that said, there are things that should noted. 1. Learning about the scorpions upon our arrival was a bit unnerving, more so when we continued to see one per day. We understand the home is in a forested area, so did expect some bugs, but, as we were traveling with an infant, and 4 kids under 12, we had to be hyper aware the whole time. Obviously, the owners can't do anything about them, but, unless I missed something in the description, there was nothing written about this fact beforehand. 2. Additionally, there are cameras that are set about the property and these are unnerving as we had children running around most of the time.  The owners explain this in the literature they send after your booking and there are ways to ensure privacy, but they should simply be turned off while guests are there. It's a bit creepy. 3. Lastly, the mattresses on the beds could use replacing, particularly in the Metato. Decent new mattresses can be purchased cheaply at IKEA Italy so it is easy enough to update them.  Again, we had a wonderful week. The kitchen was well equipped and we enjoyed dining outdoors to appreciate the view. Michael was very communicative and polite. He responded very promptly to emails and was attentive to our inquiries. Thank you.

A True Vacation Home
Tagoli is a beautiful villa high up in the mountains with views that are unparalleled. The rooms are spacious, and there is plenty of common space to accommodate larger groups. The pool is sparkling, and the temperature is perfect to cool off in the heat of the afternoons. The drive up the mountain is a real experience, but you get used to it. One thing to note for other travelers -- and maybe this is just an American thing -- but we were a little surprised that the house did not have any supplies (trash bags, paper towels, dish soap, hand soap, etc.). Future visitors should make sure to stop for provisions before arrival or arrange for those provisions to be delivered from the local store. We arranged for the local store to stock the house with some groceries before we arrived, and we were glad we did. We cooked a good deal at the villa, but in the two and a half weeks we stayed at the villa, we managed to try most of the local restaurants in the area (they were all great but Da Sandra is fabulous, and Al Laghetto shouldn't be missed). Overall the villa was gorgeous, and the days slipped by in the way they do only at the best vacation homes. We were thrilled with our experience.

Perfection
The farmhouse was not only as described and but far exceeded our expectations.  The view and serenity are truly amazing. We stayed for three weeks with our 4 adult children and their families ( children from 2-13 years old); rotating in and out as they toured Italy. The kitchen was well stocked and easily handled meal preparation for 9 plus people. The Farmhouse and the Metato accommodated social gathering for meals and relaxation while also offering each family privacy when wanted.   The drive up the mountain, was a bit hairy for folks from the plains of America, l but one we quickly adjusted to. (Hint: take your time and tap the horn before a sharp curve.) The drive was well worth it to stay at Tagoli. It didn’t deter us from making several day trips to Lucca, Pisa, Barga, Fabbriche di Vallico, and Castelnuovo—all within a 90 minute drive. We enjoyed a cooking class and winery tour just outside of Lucca.   Train service in and out of Lucca is excellent and provides easy access to the whole of Italy.  We also made two visits to Da Sandras—excellent and authentic Tuscan food at a great value. Our visit was wonderful!

Great location if you love the mountains.
Authentic and well renovated farm house with all essential amenities, including dishwasher with is appreciated when you are nine people in the house (it fits 11). Access to the house requires some careful driving up the mountain (about 15 minutes), but you are rewarded by the most spectacular view. We did some day trips to Lucca, Pisa and Cinque Terre, as well as shorter trips to Grotto del Vente and Ponte delle Maddalena. Just as much time was spent at the very nice pool which is a lifesaver during the height of summer. This house and location is highly recommended if you value privacy, quiet surroundings and great views, and don't mind the drive up and down the mountain.

Idyllic Tuscan Holiday
We stayed in the villa in August for 11nights. In total there were 9 people in our group. The villa is fantastic - it comfortably sleeps 9 people (and more!) and was very well equipped, clean and in a beautiful location. The villa is located in the mountainous region of Tuscany and is remote, however it is a short (20minute) drive down the mountain to supermarkets etc. The villa is very well equipped - especially the kitchen - and Mike (the owner) has kindly provided lots of information about local activities and restaurants which made our stay very enjoyable. The villa is beautifully restored and the pool and sun terrace area are perfect for relaxing. The villa was very clean and tidy and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We would highly recommend this villa to anyone thinking of travelling to Tuscany for a holiday with family and friends.

Großes Haus in Alleinlage
Besonders gut hat uns der Pool gefallen. Das Becken und Wasser waren sauber, es gibt ausreichend Liegestühle/ normale Stühle und größere Sonnenschirme. Durch die Berglage hat uns persönlich/ den Kindern ein Platz für Ballspiele gefehlt. Diese sind bei den Parkplätzen aufgrund der Steigung nicht/ kaum möglich. Ansonsten war im Haus alles ausreichend vorhanden, was man braucht. Der Keller ist feucht und daher gab es ein paar Schimmel-Flecken. Da wir den Gastgeber darüber informiert haben, bin ich aber sicher, dass das kurzfristig entfernt wird. Da man direkt auf dem Berg umgeben von Wäldern wohnt, sollte man sich auf diverse Insekten einstellen. Der Gastgeber Mike ist überaus freundlich und war über WhatsApp sehr gut erreichbar. Er hat sich umgehend um unsere Anliegen gekümmert bzw. uns weitere Informationen geschickt, wenn wir sie benötigt haben. Das Restaurant Da Sandra wollten wir mehrmals testen, wurden aber immer abgewiesen. Entweder war alles reserviert, was ja für die Qualität des Essens spricht, oder wir konnten nichts zum Essen mitnehmen, was uns vorab per Telefon jedoch zugesichert wurde.

Eine kleine Oase mitten in den Bergen
Das Anwesen ist in der Tat eine kleine Oase mitten in den Bergen mit viel Ruhe und einer tollen Aussicht. Wer die typische Toskana aus dem Reiseführer erwartet, sollte das Haus allerdings nicht mieten, da es von Eichenwäldern umschlossen und durchaus etwas abgelegen ist. Die Ausstattung des Hauses ist sehr gut, besonders die Küche bietet alles, was man auch für eine größere Gruppe benötigt. Die Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter war absolut problemlos, Michael antwortete immer umgehend auf alle Fragen und Mails. Von den Restaurants um das Haus ist vor allen Dingen Da Sandra zu empfehlen, die Küche ist super und die Preise sehr niedrig. Alles in allem durften wir eine tolle Woche in der Toskana verbringen - ein Aufenthalt kann nur empfohlen werden.
