Set in a tiny hamlet in the mountainous Media
Valle/Garfagnana, this is the perfect base for exploring this
stunning region, being just 40 mins from the centre of Lucca,
and 15 mins from the mediaeval town of Barga.
The house is 3km from the village of Cardoso, which is a
really beautiful old world village perched on a hillside and with
amazing views at every turn. Here there are regular summer festas,
and there is also a popular traditional Tuscan Restaurant and basic
shop.
There is also a restaurant 1.5km in the other direction, and
the house is only a few minutes drive from a popular lakeside
restaurant too which does great fish in the evenings.
For a full food shop, then the hypermarket in Gallicano is
less than a 10 min drive.

Very pleasant hosts, helpful, friendly and responsive. House
very well located in a quiet area but with all amenities nearby.
Everything we needed was on site. The view from the house is
magnificent and the swimming pool is very pleasant. The house is
very large, well maintained and very well equipped. We had an
excellent stay and we thank our hosts for their kindness and advice
on activities and places to visit. We recommend this beautiful
rental. Arrivederci and Grazie!!!

it.

Beautiful quiet location with fantastic views and very friendly and accommodating landlord. Many delicious restaurants in the vicinity. The only drawback was initially the lack of air conditioning. But after 2 days in Tuscany you acclimatized very quickly and didn't need it. And to cool off there's still the pool. We recommend.

Overall great big house. The above ground pool is 1.20m deep
throughout and is big enough for children. The kitchen equipment
could be a bit better. There were only 10 cables and a few pots.
Landlord super accessible via WhatsApp and quickly on site. Garden
is large and at ground level. All in all good and as described,
thank you very much
