A little about the area

Brunello is located a couple of kms from the village of Villa Collmandina, with its shop, restaurant, pharmacy and post office.
The closest larger town is the market town of Castelnuovo di Garfagnana which is a 12 minute drive away. Here there is a famous Thursday morning market, all facilities inlcuding restaurants, bars, train station, supermarkets etc.....
Quite convenient yet only a 15 or 20 minute drive up into the National Park of Orecchiella which is renowned for its views, wildlife and walking trails which last anything from 1 hour to 4 days!

Lucca is around 1 hr 10 /15 mins away, Pisa around 90 minutes and Barga 25 mins.

Maison chaleureuse au cœur des montagnes , au calme avec superbe vue dégagée
Arrivée tardive en pleine nuit et un peu déstabilisé par le chemin rocailleux pour joindre la maison Nous conseillons d arriver de jour si possible pour trouver facilement .Passé ce moment de stress pour trouver la location se trouvant au bout d un chemin de 800 mètres , nous avons aimé la maison pour son charme et sa situation .Nous étions deux couples avec 3 grands enfants qui ont adoré la superbe piscine. Maison typique très ancienne , avec une terrasse ombragée très agréable un peu isolée mais dans un cadre magnifique. Equipement ancien , au confort moyen mais comme il a fait très beau nous étions toujours sur la terrasse ou à la piscine. Propriétaire très sympa , très cool et disponible, pas de prise de tête . Le ménage n était pas fait beaucoup de poussière mais Brunello le propriétaire nous a proposé aussitôt de nous envoyer quelqu un pour le faire. Possibilité de se servir dans le potager et le verger. Pour les courses se rendre à 15 minutes en voiture mais le village propose une épicerie bien fournie et très pratiques. De nombreux villages magnifiques sont à proximité , nous recommandons cette maison pour des vacances au cœur de la nature et d une région magnifique. Prévoir deux bonnes heures de routes pour Florence, 50 minutes de Lucques. Les routes sont assez sinueuses donc il faut l intégrer dans les temps de parcours, voiture indispensable. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre séjour , première visite en Italie et toujours très bien accueilli par les commerçants .

Relaxing holiday in beautiful location.
We have had a lovely holiday. The house and accommodation were very clean. The owner came by on the Saturday and made us very welcome. He brought over a wifi box which my husband was very glad about. He also brought over a bottle of wine which again my husband liked. We/I have enjoyed the pool at least twice a day. We were visited by a cat and some kittens which my daughter really liked. We ended up feeding them so they made an appearance at least twice a day. We enjoyed ice cream in Lucca at Yogurtmania, a lovely lunch time meal at il Fatty in Massa. Overall a very nice trip. Also the owner was particularly helpful when I left my phone in my room. He sent it back to me without any charge. Thank you so much.

Beautiful, quiet and relaxing
We stayed in this cottage for one week with our family of 6 children ranging from 9 months to 14 years. It's located a little way up the side of the mountain and accessed by a small, bumpy, gravel track which leads only to a fish-farm and the cottage itself. The views from the house were lovely and a short drive on up the mountain-side to Corfino gives you an even better view of the mountains and valleys surrounding the cottage. The house itself was indeed very rustic (complete with dust) but also very pleasant. There is plenty of space to sit at tables but there isn't really anywhere comfy to sit. The sofa bed seats 3 which wasn't really enough for us but we sat and ate on the terrace for most of the time anyway, enjoying the fresh air, scenery and beautiful weather which we were blessed with. The steep stone staircase gave us a little cause for concern given that we had a (very fast) crawling baby with us but our other children managed without any trouble. The bedrooms themselves were plenty big enough and comfortable. The swimming pool is fairly big and a constant 1.5m deep. Deep enough for the kids to jump in from the side without bumping on the bottom (not head first though!). It's not heated but it didn't need to be -- according to the thermometer it was about 26 degrees in there all week. Our children spent a significant amount of time in the pool (which was cleaned by the owner half-way through the week) and were very sad to leave it at the end of our stay! The pool area is enclosed so you can be sure that smaller children don't go wandering off and accidentally falling in. The big supermarket "Conad" in Gallicano is just like an English supermarket and open on Sundays which is very useful for a Saturday change-over. It's about 25 minutes drive from the house. But there are also two smaller supermarkets in Pieve Fosciana (10mins) which also have everything you could need. With Pisa (80mins), Lucca (60 mins), Florence (2 hours) and the sea (90 mins) all within day-tripping distance it is a good location but a car is essential. And don't forget the smaller mountain villages of Corfino and Castiglione which are only a 5-10 minute drive away.
