Beautiful views! Ideal for larger families or groups of friends wishing to holiday together whilst still enjoying some personal space, this property is arranged across two neighbouring houses which are let together exclusively to one group. Situated at the edge of a tiny historic hamlet with no facilities, the accommodation can sleep up to 14 guests in total and comprises: A traditional 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom rustic cottage A separate renovated house divided into two self-contained modern apartments: One 2-bedroom apartment One 1-bedroom apartment Each unit has its own living and kitchen facilities, allowing smaller families or couples within the group to enjoy independence, whilst still sharing outdoor areas and dining spaces. The two houses are positioned close together and share the outdoor facilities. A very small rural path runs between the buildings, occasionally used by locals on foot, although vehicle access is extremely rare. Guests have exclusive use of: Private swimming pool with beautiful views Two covered outdoor dining loggias Hot tub Wood-fired pizza/bread oven BBQ and 'outdoor kitchen' areas Table tennis Garden and field (uneven) for children to play Parking WiFi There are several outdoor dining areas, including a fully equipped kitchen beneath the cottage loggia, enabling the whole group to cook and eat together with ease. Sleeping & Layout: Cottage: 4 bedrooms / 2 bathrooms (sleeps 7 + 1) Apartment 1: 2 bedrooms / 1 bathroom (sleeps 4) Apartment 2: 1 bedroom / 1 bathroom (sleeps 2–3) Total capacity: up to 14 guests A little about the area: Situated in beautiful surroundings within the Garfagnana area of Tuscany, the property is ideal for guests wishing to relax or explore the many walking routes and footpaths throughout the surrounding mountains. The local market town of Castelnuovo di Garfagnana is just over a 5-minute drive away and offers a good selection of shops, bars, restaurants and a weekly market. The popular medieval town of Barga can be reached in approximately 20 minutes, whilst the historic walled city of Lucca is around 1 hour away. Pisa, with its famous leaning tower, is approximately 1 hour 15 minutes by car, and Florence can be visited in around 2 hours. The famous Wind Caves are around a 40-minute drive away, as is a local adventure park offering activities such as river canyoning. Nearby lakes include Gramolazzo where you can swim, and Vagli — with its submerged village and famous zipwire. The Fortress at Verrucole is a popular local attraction with stunning views and interactive activities for children. Also close by is the Buffardello tree climbing and zip wire park, suitable for both adults and children, where you can take a picnic and spend the day in the shade of the forest. The real beauty of this area lies in its dramatic mountain scenery, peaceful atmosphere and the opportunity to experience a non-touristy part of Tuscany, with numerous small historic villages hosting local festas during the summer months. Please note: A car is necessary for access to restaurants, shopping and local amenities.

Wir waren positiv überrascht. Der Weg zu der Unterkunft war atemberaubend, nur das hätte sich schon gelohnt hinzufahren. Die Aussicht von der Unterkunft war auch wunderschön. Die Unterkunft selbst war gut und wir konnten uns bequem aufteilen aber man verbringt den Aufenthalt sowieso meistens drausen. Es gibt viele Ausflugsmöglichkeiten. Was mir gefehlt hat waren paar mehr Mülleimer, wir haben im Cottage auf drei Stockwerke nur einen gehabt. Ich würde diese Unterkunft auf jedenfall noch mal mieten!! ##### Valentina V.

Auch unser Wunsch nach einer Abreise in der Nacht um den Rückreise-Stau am Samstag zu vermeiden, war kein Problem! Das Haus selbst ist sehr schön und die Außenanlagen mit Pool (die Beleuchtung ist super!), überdachter Terrasse und Tischtennisplatte ideal, um den ganzen Tag hier zu verbringen. Auch einen separaten Bereich mit Grill- und Pizzaofen gibt es, überdacht mit Waschbecken - eine richtige Außenküche. Die Lage in dem kleinen Ort oberhalb von Castelnuevo bringt eine tolle Aussicht mit sich. Die Zufahrtsstraßen sind schmal, aber der Bus fährt hier auch, also kein Problem. :-) Einzige „Wermutstropfen“: Einige Nachbarn in der Umgebung haben Hunde, die leider sehr viel bellen in der Nacht. Und die Pfannen sind alle schon sehr in die Jahre gekommen und sollten ausgetauscht werden. Außerdem gibt es nur in zwei Schlafzimmern Fensterläden. Durch die Ost-Süd-Ausrichtung aller Zimmer ist es mit Sonnenaufgang sehr hell in den anderen Räumen, was dem Ausschlafen eher abträglich ist. ;-) Die Zufahrt mitten durch den kleinen Ort ist mit größeren Autos durchaus manchmal Maßarbeit, aber machbar. Alessandro ist sehr freundlich und hat uns Tomaten und Wein aus eigener Herstellung geschenkt. Leider kann er kein Englisch und wir kaum Italienisch - schade, dadurch waren die Gespräche immer sehr eingeschränkt. Alles in allem ein toller Urlaub in einem hübschen Haus mit fantastischem Blick und genialem Pool! ##### Martina D.

Neben dem großen und gepflegten Pool war als besonderes Highlight ein Pizzaofen mit angrenzender Grillstelle vorhanden, was beides gerne und intensiv genutzt wurde. Nach einer abendlichen Einführung durch den Hausherrn haben wir unsere ersten Erfahrungen als Pizzabäcker mit Erfolg unter Beweis stellen können. Das Anwesen liegt wunderbar eingebettet in die Natur mit Panoramablick auf die umliegenden Berge. Als besonderer Hinweis sei erwähnt, dass die Zufahrt bis zum Haus sehr schmal und steil ist. ##### Jochen V.

The house is just outside the village, overlooking the valley and mountains. The biggest asset is the pool and terrace overlooking all of that. From Gragnanella, you can easily go into the mountains, to the sea, to Lucca, or just enjoy the surroundings themselves. The host Alessandro is super friendly and helpful. Greatly recommended! ##### John K.

Allesandro hat uns sehr nett in Empfang genommen. Die Unterkunft hatte alles was wir brauchten. Geschirr, Handtücher, Pool... alles war da! Das Haus ist das letzte auf der Route ins Dorf und wir sind mit unserem Familienauto auch super durchgekommen. Wer mit einem Größeren Transporter kommt, kann auch 3min zu Fuß vom Haus weg parken. Die Gasse wird dafür am Ende vielleicht etwas zu eng. Ansonsten hat das Haus einen unfassbaren Charme und ist für die Toskana sicherlich normal. Wir haben es sehr genossen und danken Allesandro für seine Gastfreundschaft und das er sich so liebevoll um Gäste und sein Anwesen sorgt. Der Pool hat an jeder Stelle die gleiche Tiefe. Ca. 1,40 Meter würde ich schätzen. Zum Schwimmen super geeignet. Für Familien mit Schwimmhilfe, aber auch super geeignet. ##### Markus B.

The property is up in the hills with views down onto Castelnuovo. The village is quiet and quaint, and the property is right at the end, keep going when you get there, there’s a few twists and turns before you arrive. The pool area is beautiful and well maintained, plenty of sun beds and chairs to relax on. To the side of the property is parking for a few cars and a BBQ area, get there to catch the last bits of sun. The property itself is of a good size, consisting of a single room downstairs, handy for the less able, upstairs a further three rooms. Two with king size beds and a room with bunk beds. Bedding is supplied. Two shower rooms again one up and one down. The living room is comfortable with a large TV, we didn’t use this room much at all. Kitchen is well equipped and found it had plenty of staple items left over from previous guests. Alessandro who owns the property lives nearby and visited us twice, his English is limited but we got by with some clever google translate. A true gent and a pleasure to speak to, we found him very helpful and nothing was too much for him. The local area is beautiful, we didn’t see too much as the kids enjoyed the pool too much and so did we. Castelnuovo has a Conad Supermarket, very well stocked and had everything we needed. Go to Gallicano for a larger Conad and diesel is so much cheaper here, up to 20c per litre. Barga is well worth a visit, make sure you make the trip up to the Duomo Di S. Cristoforo, For some amazing views. We visited the end of August 2019\. Thank you for a lovely stay and we would highly recommend booking. ##### Craig P.

We would recommend this place to everyone who want to have a perfect countryside vacation in Tuscany! ##### Ann-Katrin S. Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Stefan A. 24 Aug 2018 #### Schöner Blick von Pool und Veranda über das Tal des Serchio Wir verbrachten im Sommer 2018 drei wunderschöne Wochen in dem Haus. Es liegt am Rande des kleinen Dorfes Garfagnella an einer steilen, schmalen Straße. Dahinter kommt nur noch der schöne und gepflegte Friedhof des Dorfes. Das Bauernhaus ist alt, aber innen und außen renoviert. Luxus braucht man nicht zu erwarten, die Dielen knarzen und die Wände sind dünn. Die Fenster sind klein, so bleibt es im Haus auch bei Sommerhitze erträglich. Auf der Veranda finden 6 bis 8 Personen gut Platz beim Essen, Spielen oder Lesen. Sie spendet Schatten und es geht immer ein leichter Luftzug. Die Pflanzen werden regelmäßig gewässert, Der Pool ist groß, Alessandro sieht regelmäßig nach dem rechten. Hier gibt es eine weitere Sitzgelegenheit. Um zur Veranda und zum Pool zu gelangen, muss man um das Haus herumgehen (der Hauseingang liegt zur Straße). Zwei Parkplätze sind vorhanden (reichen auch für drei Autos), Außerdem gibt es eine Schaukel und eine Tischtennisplatte, die wir im Juli wegen der Hitze leider nur selten nutzen konnten. Die Ausstattung ist einfach und zweckmäßig. Es ist alles da, bei acht Personen kommt man aber an Grenzen. Wir haben Messer nachgekauft, weil die einfach immer in Benutzung waren, also immer gleich den Geschirrspüler befüllen. Alles in allem ein schönes Haus, den besonderen Reiz macht die Lage mit dem wunderschönen Blick über das Tal. ##### Stefan A. Stayed 20 nights in Jun 2018 Archival ### 8/10 Good #### Christin H. 17 Jul 2017 #### Lovely stay, but ... We had a fantastic time in Gragnanella, the house is cosy with a lot of space and the views are amazing. The garden and the pool, all good! But, we did find some things unconvenient, little things, easy to do something about. For example, there were only one oven mitten, but only pots with two handles(gets hot on a gas stove), and there were no dish towel, and no proper knife for vegetables and such (luckily, we had brought all three). Also, forks were \_exactly\_ eight, knives and spoons a few more. Only two wine glasses, one with damaged foot. And no pasta fork (???) On the more serious side was that one of the beds were unmade (that it didn't \_get\_ made is somewhat on us, because we didn't bother to tell), we did not get the promised weekly cleaning, and Allessandro one day filled up the pool so much that the skimmers didn't filtrate, so the pool was full of insects and we couldn't use it for one day. (He seemes rather busy. No english! But very friendly.) Also, when we arrived there was only two, almost empty, toilet rolls (for eight people!) and no dishwasher tablets. I don't know if this should be bought by the guests, but it seems a bit strange. Bring your own salt and pepper, oil and other spices, none of this was in the house. Oh, and the towels were teeny tiny, so bring towels for showering. The info did say no pool towels, but I translated that to "do not use house towels for swimming", not that there would only be tiny towels :-) Do NOT buy botteled water! Behind the church there is a spring with delicious water, bring a water container and save the planet :-) ##### Christin H. Stayed 12 nights in Jun 2017 Archival ### 10/10 Excellent #### jenny h. 17 Jun 2017 #### Authentic Italian house in stunning setting The most outstanding thing about this property has to be the amazing expansive view over Garfagnana, and the beautiful area that surrounds it. The pool was clean and well maintained, overlooking a productive plot, that twinkled with fireflies at night. The house was authentic, and spacious, we especially loved the ancient door and key! The tiny village with its church's s bell tower was quiet and interesting to look around, though there is little there. Allesandro was welcoming and helpful, providing us with extra towels for the pool when requested, allowing us to stay an extra few hours on the day we left, and giving us homemade wine and cherries from the trees. Off the beaten track, yet close to Castlenouvo di Garfagnana for restaurants and shops , a beautiful town. Highly recommended ##### jenny h. Archival ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sue D. 12 Sept 2016 #### Beautiful property with stunning veiws Beautiful cottage,with stunning views very tranquil in a small village but only 2 miles away from the town of Castle Nuvo with plenary of bars and restaurants but it still has a real community feel.I cannot fault this property or the area it's absolutely fabulous. ##### Sue D. Archival ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lena D. 8 Jul 2016 #### Better than the picture showed!!! Large villa with lots of space. Big kitchen that had everything you needed. Lovely views, fresh air, big clean pool. Countrydream ##### Lena D. Archival ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rolandas K. 19 Oct 2015 #### Cosy house with perfect views! We were staying two families. The house is very cosy, it was enough space for our group of 6 persons. We could find everything we needed in villa. Amazing views to the mountains. Nice small Tuscan village with very friendly community. We had an intensive program of travelling by car, so it was extremely nice to enjoy evening swim in a big pool. Our host Alessandro was very attentive (thank you very much for help with our dinner in restaurant in Castelnuovo). We also were suggested a large plate of fresh figs and vegetables from the garden. Would recommend this property for people who would like to enjoy calm stay as well as those who would like to have a comfortable base for visiting Northern Tuscany. We travel a lot, and with our friends nominated this place as one of our best we have stayed in summer. ##### Rolandas K. Archival ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeffrey S. 20 Sept 2015 #### Great place for a relaxing Italian holiday Nice stone villa with ample space for our large family (6 people). Great view of the surrounding hills and mountains, and a nice pool. The village is quite small, which means you have to drive a few km to shop, but on the other hand it's very quiet and peaceful. ##### Jeffrey S. Archival ### 8/10 Good #### Fraser M. 19 Sept 2015 #### Gragnanella- August 2015 Lovely rustic Italian villa set in the hills above market town. It is quiet location within a village with no local amenities, so driving to the market town (10 mins) necessary for anything. Lovely pool and house. We found it well equipped, bar a few more easy chairs in the lounge. Very friendly and helpful owner. One thing to note, access to the pool is via front door around the property. ##### Fraser M.
