Home description
A beautifully appointed cottage and villa, where you can ease your troubles away. Cottage Rabatta has all modern comforts you need and is very safe for children. The beautiful Tuscan hills that surround the cottage are the ideal backdrop for a cold glass of prosecco and bruschetta! It is well located to enable you to enjoy day trips to the tourist destinations of Florence, Lucca, Pisa, Sienna and even enjoy a day on the beach in Viareggio. But it is also well suited to letting you get to grips with the locals and experience the real Tuscan lifestyle (the wine, the food!!) away from the beaten tourist track and experience restaurants and vineyards and local produce as the Italians use them. A lovely place -. A car is a definite requirement though.

Guestbook
"A beautifully appointed cottage where you can ease your troubles away. Cottage Rabatta has all modern comforts you need and is very safe for children. Our five year old loved scootering down its sloped driveway. The beautiful Tuscan hills that surround the cottage are the ideal backdrop for a cold glass of prosecco and bruschetta! It is well located to enable you to enjoy day trips to the tourist destinations of Florence, Lucca, Pisa, Sienna and even enjoy a day on the beach in Viareggio. But it is also well suited to letting you get to grips with the locals and experience the real Tuscan lifestyle (the wine, the food!!) away from the beaten tourist track and experience restaurants and vineyards and local produce as the Italians use them. A lovely place - and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. A car is a definite requirement though. We didn't get to use the amazing pool as we were out of season - but we'll be back."

“What a wonderful villa!! The location is ideal, tucked away with breath taking views of the surrounding hills and just a few minutes from the nearest town. Very clean and tidy with a very high standard of fittings. A beautiful villa with the added benefit of the use of a large pool. We will definitely stay here again…..and probably again and again!!! Thank you” - Mr Jason Koster - May & July 2007
The Cottage was lovely and I really liked Tuscany and would definitely go back there. The pool was very clean and was always a pleasure to use. The views from The Cottage were beautiful and it felt a very safe peaceful location - in fact I would even consider it for a holiday on my own for a complete unwind. Thank you - Mrs Julie S - August 2007
