This traditional cottage is nestled in the picturesque countryside outside of Castagnetoli, a medieval village. The cottage is surrounded by lush forests, streams, and small lakes – it’s a haven for hikers. When you want a bit more buzz, drive an hour to Lucca or Pisa. You’ll likely spend most of your time lounging beside the pool, drinking in the beautiful view. There’s a barbecue for alfresco dining, and the interior of the cottage is cosy and rustic – what more could you ask for?
