Description

3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom Farmhouse and 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom converted barn, only let together with private pool and mountain views. Only 1 mile from village with facilities. WIFI.

Two sympathetically restored farm buildings with a private pool, immersed in stunning countryside and woodland. The accommodation has a beautiful panorama of the jagged rocky crests of the Apuan Alps, where Michelangelo came to quarry marble.
Despite the peace and quiet, the village of Pieve Fosciana is only 1 mile (1.6 km) away. Pieve Fosciana has a couple of (excellent) restaurants and bars, grocers, baker, butcher, pharmacy, gelateria and bank.
Split into one 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom Farmhouse and a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom barn the properties are completely separate but included in the price. Ideal therefore for a group of 2 small families wanting privacy but space to be together.
The accommodation is situated on a sloping hillside with private garden, private swimming pool and parking, and there are beautiful rural views all round.
Both the properties have been restored with care, maintaining most of the original features and character.
The interiors are comfortable, and facilities include washing machine, dishwasher, toaster oven and microwave.
Outside there is an ample garden, private pool, two eating out areas, two barbeques, and a relaxing area overlooking the stunning views.
