Rustico Poli is a beautifully restored Tuscan farmhouse with a private pool, fully fenced garden, and sweeping views across the Garfagnana valley. Full of original character and wonderfully peaceful, it sits in open countryside yet is ideally placed for exploring - less than a 5-minute drive from the lively market town of Castelnuovo, and within walking distance of a good local restaurant.
Surrounded by farmland and positioned on a hillside overlooking the green Garfagnana landscape, this spacious detached home offers the best of both worlds: tranquillity and easy access to facilities. Castelnuovo (2.5km) provides a supermarket, cafés, traditional restaurants, shops, bars, and a train station for car-free days out, along with its famous Thursday market.
With 5 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms, including 3 en-suite, Rustico Poli is perfect for larger families or groups. The independent ground-floor bedroom and bathroom offer ideal privacy for anyone wanting their own space.
