Further Details - Local Area Montecatini area the villa is situated in a panoramic area, in Montecatini Alto. This little town is a Medieval burgh, with typical rocky houses surrounding Piazzetta Giusti, the main square, with its typical shops, wine-bars, and little restaurants. Montecatini Alto overlooks Montecatini Terme, reachable in a few minutes, famous all over the world for its Thermal, Beauty and Wellness centers. The villa is placed in a ideal position: 20 minutes far from the Montecatini Golf Club, 30 minutes from the seaside and the most important artistical cities: Florence ( 30 km) , Pisa ( 30 km) , Lucca ( 25 km) . In 50 minutes by car our guest can reach the Chianti and the Maremma areas and the ski center Abetone.Montecatini Alto is the original Montecatini settlement, lying a few hundred metres above the 'new' town. The views from here are splendid, and the delightful Piazza Giusti is home to some good bars and restaurants. Montecatini Thermal Center is located in Valdinievole, in a pleasant and green area at the foot of the hill, where the historical medieval village of Montecatini Alto rises. It is connected with the city through a funicular. Montecatini alto (high) is a characteristic medieval village, abounding in historical events culture and illustrious personages, is one of the most ancient inhabited centrs in the Valdinievole. The Vallis Nebulae, or Valley of Fog, as it was called was, of old, inhabited by the Ligurians, Etruscans, Romans and Longobards and was always of relevant strategic importance because its hill dominated the important roads of communication such as the Cassia, the Francesca and the Romea. The Montecatini Alto of today, a suggestive outdoor masterpiece, does not retain the image of a sole period nor does it have a style with a definite, rigid imprint Instead, it is witness toa historical parable of intense experiences, filled with dark moments, almost total descruction opposed to other periods of growth and splendour. Borgo, Castello, Terra Murata: around the year 1000 this ancient nucleus already had twenty-five house-towers and two fortresses to its name, town walls two kilometres long, built according to the natural course of the two hills, with seven gateways confirming a proud and uncompromising civic nobility and an indisputable strategic and military importance that lasted up until the fatal year of 1315, when Castruccio Castracani, a Ghibelline, lieutenant of Uguccione della Fagiola, laid siege to the castle, took it by storm and sacked it atrociously. Funicular of Montecatini The Funicular looks like one of those little trains of the Western movies pursued by the Red Indians and even its age brings us back to that period: 1898. At the end of the XIX century, Mr. Alessandro Ferretti, an engineer from Genoa, had the idea to realize a ropeway between Montecatini Alto and Montecatini Terme, called respectively "the Castle" and "the Montecatini Baths".

The location is perfect for excursions (we did Florence, Pisa and Lucca), the house is spectacular yet confortable at the same time, the view is stunning. We can't wait to come back! Our girls could not have loved it more - the pool, the gardens, the "cave", the Teddy Bear room. It's a perfect house for childrens. We can't wait to come back. Canadian Family and UK friends. 12.07.08 - 19.07.08 Dear Luca Family, We are also from Norway. This has been a wonderfull week. The villa is like taken out from Italian history.

Norwegian Families Aug . 2nd 2008 Thank you - Thank you, for an unforgettable week in your beautiful villa. We have fallen in love with this house and the fantastic garden. The guys loved the library, the kids loved the pool and the room in the tower, and the ladies ... well, we loved the whole package. A big thank you from 3 norwegian families. 26 july 2008: Hi! Villa surpassed all expectations! It was indeed exactly like the photos show, however what the photos didn't convey was its scale and perfect position high on the hill with the brilliant valley view below. We were greeted upon arrival, shown around and given all the history and workings of the house then were left alone to enjoy our holiday. Checkout was easy and straightforward and again very courteous. The village was a lovely setting too with about 7 restaurants all within a couple of minutes walk. I would highly recommend this villa! Helen Layzell ------ Dear Sabrina, Sorry for not giving you the promised feedback any earlier……. My family and I had a wonderful time in your beautiful villa and we were astonished by its size, location and atmosphere - it fully lived up to our expectations. At the first glance of the house we thought we had taken the wrong exit – and couldn’t believe that this was actually the villa in which we would spend a whole week. Best regards to the staff that gave us a very warm welcome and assisted us as in any questions or problems we might have had. We will definitely recommend friends and family to rent the same or similar houses via you – and I definitely hope to be able to come back. All the best from DK ---- Hi Sabrina: I just want to thank you for a wonderful stay at Villa Moresca. Our group was there from September 26th through October 3rd. The dinner was fabulous (thanks to Luca and his family), the accommodations were very comfortable and we all just can't say enough good things about our experience. It made our trip to Italy very memorable! Thank you for your quick responses to my emails and all your attention to the details. I look forward to booking another Villa with your organization in the years to come. All my best, Mary Jane Parente-Smith |
