Description

This enormous 5/6 bedroom property character property , split between a 4 bedroom villa and an annexe all included in the price, boasts the most stupendous mountain views, putting guests immediately at peace!


Perfectly situated in the heart of the gentle Lunigiana countryside, yet within walking distance of bar, restaurant and shop this unique villa is also less than an hour from the beach and La Spezia too for exploring the stunning cinque terre.


This vast newly refurbished villa with annexe has been updated with love and care and provides totally unique accommodation with a mixture of the very traditional along with modern must haves, and the view from the brand new pool complete with hydromassage area (unheated) really makes this the place to be and is probably one of the best in the area! 

The properties, built in the late 1800s really are very vast, and each bedroom is a brilliant size, with high ceilings too, and double aspect views, all complete with two well equipped kitchens and various dining options.  Internally there really is plenty of space for a group to comfortably enjoy time together, but also to go off and find a quiet spot to relax or read away from the rest of the group and externally there is an enormous garden, a covered eating area, and other options to dine and relax al fresco too. The olde worlde feel of this place and the history of it really makes for a totally different holiday. There are beamed ceilings, traditional windows and flooring, antique furniture, various fireplaces and just lots of nooks and crannies. A paradise for hide and seek!

A little about the area:
Situated in the depths of the Lunigiana countryside, on the northern Tip of Tuscany , yet within walking distance of a bar, restaurant and shop.
The closest train station is less than 1.5km away, aiding easy exploration of Lucca, the market town of Castelnuovo, Pisa and Florence (with a change at Lucca). It is also possible to take the train to the Cinque Terre which is a big bonus! The market town of Aulla is 20 mins by car, beautiful Fivizzano under 20 mins and under 1 hour to the beaches of the Versilian coast.
This villa gives a unique opportunity to explore the totally unspoilt and gentler area at the tip of Tuscany, (Lunigiana) but since it is only 20 minutes from the motorway, then the usual sights are in fact easier to visit than from many properties further south.
Ideal also for cheaper flights from Genoa/Parma although the property is equidistant from Genoa and Pisa airports.
The climate is mild, with olive trees and vines, making for relaxing drives.

Spend your days sightseeing, hiking straight from the door, or relaxing at that amazing pool. Don't forget to stargaze after dining al fresco as this is a perfect spot for shooting stars! Or in the Spring dine outside whilst watching the twinkles from the fireflies...

Beautiful view!

A quiet place in the middle of several small villages. The house and annex are spacious and equipped with all amenities. The swimming pool and surrounding garden is spacious and lovely. The house is located high in the mountains, the route to it is narrow, hilly and not always easy to prepare. Please take this into account. Furthermore, a top house with the opportunity to explore much of the area. And a big compliment for the reception and the source of information Elettra! Tip: visit the city of Lucca, La Spezzia, Equi Terme (cave visit) and Lago di Gramolazzo. Also do a concert evening at Agriturismo Tripala!

Much better than we hoped

It was a wonderful stay, the villa with its charm of the early '900, the large park with a beautiful swimming pool, the fascinating landscape. Our 6 boys were enthusiastic about the holiday, we adults were able to live an experience of great emotion in the fantastic solitude of the location. Finally a holiday all together without too many distractions.

Relaxing holidays with the family

The description of the accommodation is 100% accurate. Due to its location in the mountains, a pleasant climate in the summer months.

A beautiful, spacious villa with stunning views

We loved our experience at La Palazzo. We have had many vacation rentals over the years and this stood out as one of best. The house is in a beautiful, peaceful location. Marco and the other property managers were helpful and gave us wonderful suggestions for restaurants, shops and sites to visit. The grounds and house were beautifully tended and the pool was perfect. We were two families with plenty of space to roam. We loved our stay and would highly recommend it.
