Description

Wonderful 4 bedroom 3 bathroom traditional style Tuscan villa let together with 2 bedroom 1 bathroom character cottage. Loving renovation with private pool and stunning views. Peaceful location but walking distance of 2 restaurants.

Beautifully located just outside a tiny traditional Italian mountain village, sits this 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom traditional style Tuscan villa along with a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom cottage with private pool with stunning mountain views.

Sleeping 12 in total, this is a wonderful peaceful retreat, yet within walking distance of a couple of restaurants and just a 20 minute drive in either direction to two market towns, with other villages and restaurants on the way...

Ideal for groups of adults looking for a relaxing break, and perfect if you like walking as the properties are close to the tracks leading up to the Apuane peaks. This really is a picture post card location, with complete privacy at the pool.

Both properties are made out of traditional stone, creating a romantic olde worlde feel, and ensuring the houses stay beautifully cool for sleeping.

 A little about the area:

Situated in the heart of the Garfagnana, in the depths of the countryside, with mountain views, but only a 10 minute walk from the closest village and two restaurants, this property situated underneath a mediaeval church and bell tower (which no longer rings) offers a rural idyll, yet is within easy distance of the fully walled, Mediaeval City of Lucca,1 hour; Pisa 90 mins; Florence 1 hr 40 mins and the wonderful medieaval town of Barga 30 minutes

The local town of Gallicano is less than a 20 minute drive, and here one can find a train station for easy exploring, shops, bars, restaurants, weekly market and a hypermarket.
The market town of Castelnuovo with its famous Thursday morning market, and various bars and restaurants is only a 20 minute drive too.

The real beauty of this area however is the stunning scenery and hundreds of beautiful hilltop villages to explore…..
Perfect for walkers, this property is within walking distance of the most famous Mountain Peak in the area - Pania della Croce.

Overall, a perfect base for exploring the Garfagnana, the walks of the Apuane mountains, and also other Tuscany delights.

Great stay in the hills of Tuscany

Slightly tricky road up to the house, but the location was great. Maybe not suitable for toddlers as the ground is very uneven. The host was very helpful and among other things he arranged restaurant bookings for us.

Very nice property in remote area with splendid views

We spent a wonderful week in this lovely place (9 people aged from 8 to 50). It's far from everything, but very nice and relaxing, the pool was really appreciated by everyone. The main house and cottage are both well equiped and our host was very friendly and knowledgeable on the region and the places to visit.

Quiet holiday home with lots of space, great views

Perfect place to relax with friends or family
The main house and the cottage have everything you need for a comfortable holiday. The swimming pool is the perfect place to relax. The place has almost total privacy but is just 300 meters from the village. The views to surrounding mountains and the valley are spectacular. 15 min away in Galicano is the huge Conad Super Store where you will find everything you need. The owner Giancarlo is very friendly and helpful. The only restaurant in the village 'Il Totto' has good food for a reasonable prize. We really liked to stay there. We had a beautiful holiday.

Remote, but Fabulous

It's a long drive up winding hills, but once you arrive in Sassi, you can forget about all your worries, sit back and relax. The main farmhouse and the cottage are both well-equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The pool was a godsend on especially hot days, especially for the children, who spent hours playing Marco Polo and other water games well into the evening. Our host was extremely helpful and was a walking encyclopedia of information about the surrounding areas, too. We were a party of eleven, ages 8 to 73. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their stay and took away some wonderful memories. Thank you to GT for everything!

Very comfortable house with a nice swimmingpool in a beautiful environment!

With our family we have spent 2 wonderful weeks in this house. It is located just outside the village with a lot of space and privacy. We have done some beautiful hiking tours right from the house and the beautiful cities Lucca, Florence and Pisa are only a 1 hour drive.
