The Experience
Italian design at its very best: the original 1930s tiles, the Murano chandeliers, the paintings, the beautiful staircase, fabulous pops of colour and clever lighting; you’ll feel inspired. There’s much warmth and comfort too with a gorgeous sitting room for reading or planning trips – coffee, teas and homemade biscuits at hand. Browse thousands of art books in the library, book a massage, or use the small spa.
Four bedrooms and one suite (in the loft) have lots of natural light, smooth linens, fluffy pillows and plenty of books; bathrooms dazzle with big showers, delicious-smelling soaps and lotions, bathrobes and slippers. Wake to homemade cakes and brioches, frittatas, cured meats and local cheeses – the menu changes seasonally and you need to choose from the menu the evening before.
The large terrace at the back overlooks the street and has a small pool. Listen to the birds, enjoy the mountain views, or take a short walk into town for a stroll along its narrow streets.

We really enjoyed our stay at Luisa! She and Colin have done a great job making it homely AND special! We really liked the space and how it was decorated. The fresh pears, tomatoes, basil, and rosemary were a nice bonus. The wood-fired pizza oven was really great and the pool with a shower from the olive tree - wow - fantastic! Next to that everything was spotlessly clean and it was very handy that detergent and the like were available. A lovely place And we will certainly recommend to friends !

My friends and I based ourselves here for a weekend to travel around Tuscany and it really exceeded our expectations. Stunning views of the area, a great pool and outdoor wood fire pizza oven. Luisa was an amazing host who really goes out of her way for you. Highly recommended!

Location
The neighbourhood
A guided tour is the best way of discovering why the Camonica Valley is such an important heritage site – one of the longest in the Lombard Alps and with the most stunning collection of ancient rock art. Bienno village, a 10-minute drive, is one of Italy's prettiest. You can ski in winter, there are festivals, harvests to join, and some wonderful restaurants serving Italian classics and ice creams.
Local points of interest from Colin Pilkington
- Unique and stunning views of The Leaning Tower of Pisa.. Panoramic and inspiring views over our lovingly tended olive grove, forest, fields, villages, Pisa in the midground, the Mediterranean Sea in the distance - spectacular. Great hillside walks on site.
- The natural spring water salt swimming pool is set in a truly amazing location with views to infinity over valley field Pisa and Med. The pool zone also boasts a unique shower which pours out water from the trunk of an ancient olive tree - simply fabulous.

Introducing
Colin Pilkington
The house has been in Evelina's family since 1920, when her grandfather bought it. He was passionate about art, and travelled the valley documenting churches and frescoes, paintings and architecture. Evelina and Enzo have restored sympathetically and sustainably, while keeping the lovely, homely feel.
Luisa and Collin are very kind and welcoming hosts. The location is great, its near Pisa and Lucca and little less than 1.5 hours to Firenze. The drive up to the house is a bit of a challenge but we managed it and it becomes easier with each attempt. Besides, the view from your porch or from the pool over the region is worth all the trouble. The house is well equipped and when properly ventilated at night, together with the provided fans, I had fine nights of sleep. There is a large pool, you have your own porch and everything is very well maintained.
