A little about the area:

Situated in beautiful surroundings within the Garfagnana area of Tuscany, perfect for relaxing or walking along the many footpaths.
The local cuisine can be enjoyed at reasonable prices in the numerous restaurants of the area.
Easy walking distance to the village of Filicaia which has a bar and basic local facilities.
The house is well located for exploring the local market town of Catselnuovo which is a just over a 5 minute drive, the gorgeous and popular mediaeval town of Barga which is a 20 minute drive and the stunning walled mediaeval city of Lucca which is say 1 hour away. Pisa, with its leaning tower is a 1 hr 15 minute drive, and one can visit Florence in 2 hours. The famous Wind Caves are a 40 minute drive as is the local adventure park where one can try river canyoning!
Closer to home there are plenty of little historic villages to visit, many of which have local festas in the summer. There are also the lakes of Gramalazzo, Vagli (with its hidden village submerged by the water) and Pontecosi, and some guests love to swim in the river. The property is also ideally located for visiting the local Fortress at Verrucole which is a good afternoon out, with stunning views and some interactive activities for the children. Also close by is the Buffardello tree climbing and zip wire park (ideal for both adults and children of all ages with a variety of runs) where one can take a picnic and spend the entire day in the welcome shade of the forest.
The real beauty of this area is the dramatic mountain scenery, and the hundreds of hilltop villages to explore, endless picnicking opportunities, and the pure peace of a non touristy holiday ......
