A little about location:
Please note that automated distance information can be misleading in rural areas. Although some places may appear close “as the crow flies,” walking routes are often impractical.

This property is peacefully situated just beneath the peaks of the Appenine mountain range; 800M from the village of Chiozza with its basic shop, bar and restaurant; approximately 1 hr 15 minutes north of Lucca, and a 15 minute drive to the market town of Castelnuovo di Garfagnana with it famous Thursday morning market, shops, bars, restaurants and train station…..

The local village has a bar/basic food shop and a popular restaurant and it is possible to walk cross country for 3km to a further restaurant, located in Castiglione, a beautiful fully walled mediaeval village which is known for its intact protecting walls, fantastic views, and summer festas.

The property is located only a 15/20 minute drive to the famous mountain peak top village of San Pellegrino with its mummified saints and incredible views.

Whilst a walkers paradise and set in the depths of the countryside, there is not a feeling of isolation at this farmhouse and the house is only a 10 minute drive or so from what is often described as the best restaurant in the area, at Pieve Fosciana, which also boasts, shops, banks, bars, restaurants, and the most gorgeous delicatessen with take way home made traditional Italian food.

Had a wonderful week in this beautiful house. The property was very clean, spacious and perfect for us as 8 adults. The house was the best equipped we have ever had. So many little extras left as gifts in the kitchen and equipment to use around the house and in the outside areas. The pool was lovely with plenty of seating and sunbeds. Angelina is so welcoming and helpful, popping by every day to clean the pool and tend to the flowers. The house is quite remote with windy roads to get there but the spectacular views and peaceful surroundings make it so worth it. The pizzeria in Chiozza is excellent, about 20 mins walk but 2 minutes in the car. We will be back.

Fantastic villa. Immaculately clean, well-equipped, and set in a quiet, relaxing area. The pool is superb — large, well-kept, and ideal for both kids and adults. Excellent communication from the hosts. Highly recommended.

We loved our stay at the villa. There was plenty of room and the kids loved the pool. The hosts were helpful. There is plenty to do in the surrounding area and the cities of Lucca, Pisa and Florence are outstanding. The nearer towns of Barga and Castelnuovo are also very attractive. The area has recently been a center of attention on BBC with Amanda Holden, Rob Rinder and Clive Myrie. However, if you don't like heights and hairpin bends up a mountainside, this might not be the villa for you.
