Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
If you’re searching for a bit of seclusion, this home will go straight to the top of your holiday wishlist. Nestled in the Garfagnana Mountains in northern Tuscany, step inside and you’ll find a space that oozes classic Italian charm, with white walls that contrast the beamed ceilings and wooden floors. Here and there, a little of the original stonework peeks through, reminding you of this home’s 18th-century roots in a villa that has been tastefully modernised to provide a comfortable home while not taking away its history or character. The outdoor space jostles for attention with the interior, and to be honest, there’s no clear winner – both are wonderful. With three hundred olive trees dotted around the grounds and the mountains providing the most scenic backdrop, here, you’re fully immersed in nature. Whether you’re enjoying a refreshing dip in the private pool or simply relaxing on a sun lounger with your holiday read, you can revel in the peace and tranquillity that this location offers. For an authentic Italian evening, light the wood-fired pizza oven and rustle up some dinner which naturally, should be enjoyed outdoors on your terrace where you can soak up the views. All you... need to complete the meal is a bottle of chianti and you’re in for a memorable evening.
