About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

A cute, homey cottage overlooking the Apuan Alps . A perfect place to relax in.

The house is decorated in a warm, homey style, the house and the rooms are painted in light and bright colors that blend well into the colorful landscape,
The change of seasons creates an interesting setting all year long. The view of the Apuan Alps and the valleys at their feet, viewed from the windows of the villa and the garden,
Provide a picturesque and pastoral atmosphere. A perfect place to relax in.
Although there are plenty of hiking and entertainment possibilities, we recommend planning days without excursions to enjoy the quiet stay in a quiet little village.
The excellent local cuisine and products sold in two village shops will allow you to experience real Italian village life.
So ... we're really glad that you chose to venture away from some of Tuscan's over-populated centers,
You will discover a less typical and interesting Tuscan region.
Starting from a general location - the village where the house is called Casone Carpinelli, and is set right at the Passo Carpinelli mountain pass and within a national park of the Apuan Alps, in the northern part of Tuscany.
The province belongs to the old town of Lucca, on the southern side of the province, a distance of about 80 minutes.
A closer central town - Aulla is a 40-minute drive away.
The area is characterized by a mountainous landscape that combines Alpine and Mediterranean vegetation, not lacking in green and fresh air, even at the height of summer.
Thanks to altitude, about 800 meters above sea level, the weather is particularly pleasant from late spring to late autumn. The humidity is low and therefore at the height of summer, you will find clear air and comfortable temperatures for walking, swimming in nearby lakes, or sunbathing in the garden.
For snow and ski lovers, the winter months until the beginning of spring will allow you to spend time in the snow during your vacation not far away.
Famous attractions within an hour's drive will diversify your vacation and fill out your photo album.
Welcome to Garfagnana - the valley and the mountain!
Make yourself comfortable in this cottage, which features a fireplace. There's a private balcony. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment.
Take in the views from a garden and make use of amenities such as barbecue grills.
Breakfast is available for a fee.
Guests will find features like onsite parking.

Perfect relaxing getaway
We had a lovely holiday (family with 5 kids, age 11 to 23), peaceful and quiet and with the option to go out for a good meal nearby. Culture and swimming to be found with a car ride of 20 min, a beautiful mountain lake for swimming and nice little towns. Lucca and other more touristic places are a bit further, still good to do by car. The house and garden are spacious with all you need for a relaxing holiday. Nice addition is the separate part of the house which contains a bedroom, a bathroom and a little kitchen, perfect for grandparents or another joining couple to have their own private area. Communication with the owner went very smooth and when we had questions they were answered quickly. We hope we’ll be able to return in the future.
