Description

Swimming pool - Sleeping 16 + 3 (6 bathrooms)
Calabrichio is a stunning house split into two properties, which together have 8 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. There is a large private swimming pool, and gardens with wonderful views.

A beautifully renovated old barn set in 3 hectares of farmland, with amazing views over the unspoilt, green and mountainous countryside of garfagnana, northern tuscany. The property is split into 2 adjoining houses (both included in the price), giving larger groups privacy from each other, whilst staying together on holiday. There is plenty of room to relax and dine together too!

The house is a beautifully restored barn building and part of it retains the original chestnut beams/rafters, with a loft style ceiling in the living area. The house has been finished to a good standard, and is well furnished with quality furniture and fittings.

In total there are 8 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms ,2 living kitchen/diners and plenty of space to all relax and eat together both inside and out. There is a beautiful loggia spanning the ground floor of the property providing a place to eat and relax in the shade overlooking the pool, and there is also a large covered terrace to the side of the house .
There is also a bbq and wood oven for pizzas overlooking the pool area, and looking out to the mountains beyond.

The gated pool is enormous at 7m x 14m !

A perfect choice for a truly rural retreat...... The location is ideal since whilst situated at the edge of a village in the depth of the countryside, a very short drive will take you to a main line station for sightseeing.The village of camporgiano with its castle, restaurants and bars is less than 2 km away.

A little about the area

Collaprico is  a 2km drive from the village of Camporgiano, which has a few restaurants, a supermarket, small shops, a couple of bars etc and a train station for easy exploring. The market town of Castelnuovo is a 20 min drive in the - visit the town and enjoy its famous and bustling Thursday morning market.

The property is perfectly placed for walkers with various circular walks just outside the house, and many others further afield.

The medieaval town of Lucca is less than 1 hour away, the wonderful town of  Barga is just 40 mins, Pisa 1 1/2 hrs and Florence 2 hrs.

 The house boasts fantastic views of the unspoilt countryside whatever the time of year. Explore the hundreds of hilltop villages, go walking, horse-riding, bike riding, or try the fishing which is excellent. Swim in the vier, visit the local fortress, see the wind caves, or zip wire through the trees.....

 Of course the possibilities for picnics are endless and star gazing at night an experience. Relax with a glass of wine and watch locals play Bocce or be a spectator at the cheese rolling for which the area is famous.

In the autumn join in the local passion of mushroom picking or feast on chestnuts which used to form the staple diet for the locals. Tourism is yet to hit this area and this is truly one of those increasingly rare places in Europe for which this can be said.

Food: Garfagnanan cuisine is fairly simple, but scrumptious, using local fresh produce to prepare dishes, which since cooked for the locals are very cheap! Wine is good and inexpensive.There are numerous restaurants in the area and children are welcome. Provisions can easily be found in local bars/shops and supermarkets.

The locals are very friendly and helpful although not many speak English, take your phrase book. That said, we can always assist with translation when required and the owner is really helpful too!

Nice house with a great big lot

 

Arrival: 24/06/22

We spent 1 week with our friends (4 families; 8 adults and 9 children) in the house (actually 2 semi-detached houses) for 1 week at Pentecost. The property is quite large and so you can easily retire with a book.
The pool offers enough space for young and old. The pizza/bread oven was a highlight for us and it was a lot of fun to use it. (A little tip: you can buy firewood in the garden center next to the Carrefour Express in Camporgiano).
On site we were greeted very friendly by the landlord and the contact was uncomplicated and very hospitable. A small circular path runs west from the house, which is worth a short walk. Here you have another great view of the beautiful landscape. We were lucky enough to be able to watch the fireflies here after sunset. There were an unbelievable number of fireflies (June/July is the mating season), it was a spectacular spectacle. Lucca and Pisa are definitely suitable for some sightseeing with a little driving time. All in all it was a successful holiday in an impressive landscape and a cozy house.
