Guest Houses in Antona

A lovely, quiet location. The pool had a stunning view of the mountains and we took full advantage. The host was friendly, he also recommended a local restaurant for dinner (food was delicious). The accommodation is close enough to Massa to explore the area but we preferred to enjoy the poolside and gardens for ultimate relaxation. It is a perfect location for that. Would go back in a heartbeat if ever in the area.

The villa is beautiful, clean and spacious. You will find any needed commodities there. The terrace is overlooking a garden and a great view at the river and the mountains. Location is great, really close to the see and the town.

You have to take this place for what it is. It is not a luxury hotel; facilities are quite simple (like a pretty chilly bathroom without heating), and there are plenty of staircases to climb. But it is an absolutely adorable medieval castle, towering over a little village up in the hills, with amazing views and fantastic staff. The location is great for a little get-away and to experience northern Tuscany. Winding roads leading up to a cute village on a hill (depending on GPS system, your map can put you on a road with lots of hair-pin curves but decent width to meet cars, or a more straight road where meeting traffic becomes a nervous challenge). The village of Fosdinovo also has a great restaurant, the Quinta Terra. Very friendly staff and great atmosphere among stone vaults. Excellent country-side food that would easily compete with many of the better restaurants in Florence. The castle is a fantastic experience in Italian history and it's great to be able to freely walk around among its many rooms and up on its impressive fortification walls - daytime or nighttime. Sitting on one of the (shared) terraces for our own little "aperitif moment" was great. Our room was of good size, with a comfortable bed and a large radiator that gave a cozy warmth to the room in chilly April nights. The bathroom was as large as the room, simple but fully adequate for our needs. No heating there, so mornings were "fresh" :-) Ambra and her colleagues in the staff are just amazing! So welcoming, helpful and friendly. From Ambra's warm greeting, support, and guidance, to one of the other ladies who, off-hours and from her own apartment, shouted instructions for us which key to use when we clearly didn't manage to get in at night! :-) They all made us feel like family. They also served a delicious, home-cooked breakfast, with yoghurt, spreads, toast, ham and cheese, and home-baked apricot pie.

Everything was super!

Lovely building and surrounding garden. The room was very nice and everything was sparkling clean. The host prepared and cooked us breakfast in the morning. What service! :-)

Friendly staff, great breakfast in the garden and how beautiful is the place.

Right in the centre of the town nicely furnished with antiques with everything necessary. Large bathroom

L'Antico Asilo is located in the small village of Stazzema, just next to several hiking trails in the Apuan Alps. The hotel is recently refurbished, everything is clean, all the facilities are new and comfortable, and the place is very beautiful and cozy. The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!
