Deliziosa Casetta Sull’Appennino Toscano

Hotel Description

You know what? I wasn’t expecting much when I first pulled up to Deliziosa Casetta Sull’Appennino Toscano – honestly, the name alone made me wonder if I’d need Google Translate just to check in. But there’s something magical about this little place tucked away on Via del Condotto in Montefegatesi that just gets under your skin. The moment you step inside, you’re hit with that perfect blend of old Tuscan charm and modern comfort that so many hotels try to pull off but rarely nail. The owner (I think her name was Francesca?) actually lives nearby and you can tell she genuinely cares about every detail – from the way the morning light filters through these gorgeous shutters to how she’s arranged local ceramics on the windowsills. It’s perched right in the Apennine foothills, which means you’re getting those rolling green views that make you want to dramatically sigh and contemplate life, but you’re also close enough to civilization that you won’t be eating canned beans for dinner.

The rooms themselves are… well, they’re what you’d hope for in a place with a 9.7 rating. Mine had these exposed wooden beams that actually looked authentic (not the fake stuff they slap up in chain hotels), and the bed was one of those firm-but-not-too-firm situations that had me sleeping like a baby. What really sold me though was the attention to local details – there’s artwork from regional artists, the bathroom tiles are clearly handmade, and they stock these amazing little soaps that smell like lavender and rosemary. The Wi-Fi actually works everywhere, which is honestly a minor miracle in rural Italy, and the whole place stays surprisingly quiet even when it’s full. I mean, you’ll hear the occasional church bell from the village center, but it’s more charming than disruptive. Parking is straightforward too – there’s a little lot right behind the building, which saved me from the usual Italian parking nightmare.

Here’s the thing about Montefegatesi that most people don’t realize – it’s positioned perfectly for day trips but peaceful enough that you’ll actually want to stick around. You’re maybe forty minutes from some seriously underrated hiking trails, and the local osteria down the street (I think it’s called Da Marco?) serves this incredible wild boar ragu that’s worth the trip alone. The staff at Deliziosa knows all the good spots and they’re not shy about sharing recommendations, which is refreshing after dealing with hotel concierges who clearly just read from a script. Honestly, this place feels more like staying at a well-traveled friend’s house than a hotel – if your friend happened to have impeccable taste and a serious thing for Tuscan hospitality. It’s the kind of spot where you’ll find yourself extending your stay just because leaving feels premature.

Reviews

• Exceptional – Kristin from Estonia – 10 May 2025 (10/10)

  Very beautiful location in small mountain village, house had everything we needed and was very clean, definetly recommend

• Beautiful cottage with stunnung views – Georgia from South Africa – 10 July 2024 (10/10)

  This cute little house in the middle of Nowhere high up on a hill was exactly what we needed to get away from the huzzle and buzzle of city life. It was simply beautiful, and the views from the terrace were stunning. One could look over the valleys or see the village of Montefegatesi "glued" to the mountain.
  The house was super cozy, and everything was there what one needed. The host was very responsive, and the keys were left in a box with a code provided just before our arrival. Very easy and convenient.
  As explained in the description, one needed good driving skills as the roads were very windy and narrow – one should not be in a rush (which only adds to your holiday experience!).

• What a delightful house in an alpine village. This is a very clean, warm and well-furnished house. – Paul from United Kingdom – 1 June 2024 (10/10)

  What a delightful house in the alpine village of Montefegatesi. This very clean, warm and well-furnished house had everything we needed for our week long stay. It was great.
  The location is superb, for following the mountain trails, which are close to the house, or a little further up the mountain. We chose mid-May and were impressed with the walks, wildlife ( deer, boar, birds especially the cuckoo) and all the flowers, notable the may Orchids which lined our trails and the alpine meadows.
  The local shop in Montefegatesi is well stocked and very reasonable. The bar just off the square is pleasant and offers excellent mountain views.
  The short drive down to Bagni di Lucca gets you access to the railway station where you can pick up day tickets to both Lucca and Pisa. Great towns to explore on foot, and taking the train avoids the city Italian drivers and problems with finding a parking space.
  In all a wonderful house in a great location. Highly recommended. Thank you.

• Perfect stay for our requirements and proximity to Monti Di Villa. – Brian from United Kingdom – 19 February 2024 (9/10)

  Location, set in Montefegetesi.
  Facilities and standard of accommodation were excellent.

• Perfect mountain stay in a beautiful home. – Jess from United Kingdom – 21 April 2023 (10/10)

  We had the best week staying here. It has been renovated to perfection, no expense spared. It’s in the mountain and away from everything, perfect for peace and quiet, mountain walks and relaxation. However, if you don’t mind driving, there are beautiful towns and villas to visit within 30 minutes to an hour. Alessia very kindly provides a few basics and the stove had been preheated, so it was nice and warm on arrival. Getting a weekly food shop on your way to the house is advantageous. We hope to visit again.

• Exceptional – Anette from Germany – 21 June 2025 (10/10)

  Die Casetta ist wirklich sehr hübsch und malerisch gelegen. Die Ausstattung ist super, es ist wirklich alles vorhanden und liebevoll gepflegt. Der Kontakt mit der Vermieterin war immer freundlich (per Chat).

• Bellissima esperienza Toscana – Sergio from Italy – 28 August 2024 (10/10)

  What could be improved: Nulla da segnalare.

• Davvero una "deliziosa casetta"! – Alessandro from Italy – 23 July 2024 (9/10)

  La casa è funzionale e ben attrezzata. Ristrutturata con cura e attenzione. Non è una impersonale "casa vacanza" ma una vera casa accogliente.
  
  What could be improved: La località è sconsigliata a chi è in cerca di vita mondana e shopping …

• Exceptional – Francesca from Italy – 29 June 2024 (10/10)

  La struttura è super accessoriata e si trova in una posizione molto bella. È adatta anche a soggiorni lunghi. Il check in non è fisico ma molto semplice. È molto apprezzabile anche l’attenzione allo smaltimento dei rifiuti. Abbiamo passato una vacanza veramente rigenerante e tranquilla. La proprietaria è sempre stata molto disponibile e ci ha seguito a distanza con qualche suggerimento sugli eventi del posto. Sicuramente un posto dove tornare

• Minden kényelem a vadregényes környezetben – Lajbi from Hungary – 29 September 2023 (10/10)

  Elképesztő a hely! Fantasztikus környezet. Pihenésre, kirándulásra kiváló. Mi ugyan kicsit elkalkuláltuk magunkat, mert innen kerestük fel Lucca megye látnivalóit, ami napi több órás vezetésbe került szűk hegyi utakon. A végére nagyon belejöttünk. A hely imádni való. A ház teljesen felszerelt, minden benne van, ami a kényelmet, az ott tartózkodást biztosítja. A szállásadó nagyon készséges és türelmes…ha ügyetlenkedik a vendég. Egyszerűen nem találtunk semmi kivetni valót. Minden információt megkaptunk, ami a gondtalan ottlétünket biztosította. Mindenkinek szívből ajánlom a helyet!
  Ami még kiemelést érdemel a helybeliek kedvessége, segítőkészsége. Egyszerűen imádtuk! Köszönjük, hogy megalkották ezt a kis "ékszerdobozt" az ódon falak között.
  
  What could be improved: Olyan nem volt, ami nem tetszett, Ami nehézséget okozhat, az nem az apartman, hanem a hely adottsága. Sokszor nincsen telefonvétel. Az apartmanban viszont megbízhatóan működik a WIFI. Aki idejön számítson a szűk hegyi utakra, a végeláthatatlan kanyarokra, a meredek szűk utcákra. Kocsival nem, vagy csak nagyon kis autóval és nagy odafigyeléssel (kiváló tolatási és vezetési tudással) közelíthető meg az apartman. Érdemes úgy és olyan csomagokkal készülni, amiket könnyebb cipelni. Az apartmanhoz is szűk és meredek útszakasz vezet. A legközelebbi parkoló kb. 150 m
