Villa with private pool, terrace and garden, WIFI!

This spacious and airy property has been renovated with a great deal of care, and boasts original chestnut beams, hand made chestnut windows (some of which are traditional tuscan style arched windows) and exposed stonework.

Modern comforts have not been forgotten and there are 6 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms (two of which are en-suite), large kitchen a living/dining area, and a 'quiet room' leading from the dining room.... Each room has a wonderful view, and one can even bathe in the bathroom with a stunning view of the famous Uomo Morto, part of the Apuane mountain range!

The design of the villa makes it ideal for large groups, each requiring some privacy from the other, in terms of bedroom, living and kitchen space, but still wishing to spend time together. It is possible for all to dine together both inside and out.

Outside, there is the beautiful private pool (6M x 12M with internal steps) and the very spacious sunbathing terrace on one side, and grassed area surrounding the rest.

The gardens have a feeling of maturity, with many mature trees, shrubs, flowers and even rockery areas, designed in such a manner so as not to detract from the amazing views of the mountains (including the famous Uomo Morto) beyond.

A peaceful retreat, yet less than 5 minutes into town by car.

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.

A car is required for restaurants, shopping, and local amenities.

The farmhouse is situated in the heart of the Garfagnana, with stunning 360 views of the Appenines, Apuane Alps and the famous Uomo Mort. Whilst ideal for a peaceful, rural away from it all holiday, this property offers the convenience of town too, with the famous market town of Castelnuovo less than a 5 minute drive away.
Indeed the beautiful fortress, with commanding views over the valley and the mountains beyond, and noted for its classical music events, is 10 minutes on foot. The town itself has a famous weekly market, bars, restaurants, shops, and train station for easy exploring. Drive times are: Castelnuovo 3 mins or so Mediaeval town of Barga - 15 minutes Lucca - 45 minutes Pisa - 1 hour 15 minutes Florence - 90 minutes National Park of Orrechiella - 30 mins Walking, horseriding, and picnic opportunities straight from the door!
