A little about the area
The villa is situated in village location, in the heart of the Garfagnana, 1 hour 15 minutes north of Lucca. This is real olde worlde Italy!
This charming little village has a basic shop, and a village bread van also comes 6 days a week. There is a bar/cafè and some other shops circa 1km away, and Piazza al Serchio, the closest larger village has many shops and amenities, and a few restaurants. Experience real Italian life...
This is a peaceful location, in the midst of the countryside, with many pretty hilltop villages to visit, as well as National Parks. There is the Santuario at Argegna, the lake of Gramalazzo, the fortress of Verrucole, and the property is also ideal for exploring Lunigiana.....
For non local days out, the coast (Lerici and the Cinque Terre) are just over an hour away by car, Lucca is a 90 minute drive, Pisa 1 hr 40 mins and Florence 2 hours or so... The market town of Castelnuovo is a 25 min drive and the beautiful mediaeval town of Barga 40 mins away... There is so much to see ...
Right at the end of the garden there is an area/barn with farm animals belonging to one of the villagers. The animals (rabbits, chickens and a goat) are often there and popular with children of guests. The local farmer goes to feed the animals once or twice per day but this is a separate building and he has his own entrance.
NB - final access is via a 20 M long narrow road way but one can enter driveway and turn around for coming back out! For those guests with large cars it may be preferable to park at the bottom of this access road.

Reviews
Beautiful converted farmhouse. Access if you have a large vehicle is difficult as the driveway is very narrow. However any standard car would not have a problem. Situated in a quiet village with lovely views fantastic base for exploring the surrounding area. Also ideal for family days and nights. We cooked a lot in the property tended to have a day out exploring followed by a day mucking about in the pool and gardens. The fire flies light up the garden at night and the bird song is fantastic. You are surrounded by nature. I would love to return and so would my sons and their girlfriends so appealing to 50+ ages and 18+. It was lovely to be in a non commercialised part of Italy very few fluent English speakers but lovely patient locals. We enjoyed communicating with our limited Italian and their limited English. Made the holiday experience all the better. Thank you for a lovely break.
