About this property

La Fattoria Farmhouse with La Stalla Apartment (Sleeps 14, 7 Bedrooms)

The perfect holiday home for a large family gathering or a group of friends. Accommodation is split between the farmhouse, La Fattoria and the self contained apartment, La Stalla, 80 metres away. The facilities are shared, including a large, lavender fringed salt water pool, a ping-pong table, a boules court, a yoga deck and hammocks all of them set in extensive, private grounds on an organic farm.

La Fattoria provides beautiful comfort in its lovingly restored traditional Garfagnana farmhouse which includes 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
Relax in a hammock with a good book from the extensive library, have a game of table tennis or lawn boules, wander through the many terraces and chestnut groves or contemplate a little peace on the hill top yoga deck. Should your passion be cooking, the kitchen is well equipped and there is seasonal organic vegetables available on site.
The house is well appointed with a comfortable sitting room, wisteria-covered dining terraces, a huge BBQ and a beautiful ancient pizza oven. There are 4 elegant bedrooms and 2 bathrooms on the 1st floor with an additional bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor.
La Stalla is an elegant, ground floor apartment in the owners' house up the hill from La Fattoria.
The large bedrooms each have huge double or twin beds and antique furniture.
The bathroom has a big wet area shower, WC, bidet and basin.
All linen, towels and pool towels are provided.
The sitting room is comfortably furnished and includes a wood burning stove, a writing desk, a range of books, Ipod dock and games.
The small sunny kitchen is sufficiently equipped for most culinary adventures and opens out onto a private terrace.
There are spectacular views from every room and a delightful rose covered loggia with dining table that seats 4 and reclining chairs to snooze away the afternoons.
La Stalla apartment is only available taken with the farmhouse during July and August.

Local shops and restaurants are minutes away but should you wish to be delighted there is a resident chef who can prepare a candlelit dinner on the terrace especially for you. Alternatively, she can offer a riot of colour and flavour in a family pizza night.
The owners, Ailsa and Jamie Reynolds live up the hill and are happy to offer advice - where to shop, what to see, book restaurants and galleries and generally help you have a memorable holiday whilst respecting your privacy. A shopping service is available if you want to arrive at the house to find your fridge packed with local goodies.
Cooking classes and guided walks are available on request.
Col di Lavacchio truly is the perfect place to explore the magic of this timeless slice of Tuscany.

About the host

Hosted by Ailsa and Jamie

Host profile image
Having owned and run a small hotel in Scotland where we were trying to grow our own vegetables, we decided to try a larger, more challenging project. A 26 acre farm in the hills of northern Tuscany has given us the opportunity to raise much of our own meat, grow nearly all of our own fruit and vegetables and invest in the future with young olive trees and grapes. Our experience in the hospitality industry has meant that we set out with a vision to offer holidaymakers the sort of environment which we would want on our own vacation.

Why they chose this property

Lavacchio is only 80km from Pisa airport with an excellent train connection to our local station at Barga-Gallicano. Just an hour from Pisa and we are set in a beautiful mountain environment where we can indulge our interest in walking and skiing. By avoiding the intense summer heat of the plains we can enjoy the summer fully, sleeping comfortably without the need for air conditioning. The chestnut and beech clad hills are a riot of colour in the Autumn and the wild flower meadows of the spring have to be seen to be believed. Seasons are well defined here, as much by the food on offer as by the climate: local dishes are very much the norm and there is immense pride in the fabulous ingredients. This is Italy in the raw - timeless and slow and welcoming.

What makes this property unique

Perched above the Serchio valley and below the sugar loaf peak of the Pania del Croce, Lavacchio has a sensational 180 degree view which constantly changes. With a mixture of flat land and chestnut woodland we offer space and privacy: we are at the end of a narrow track and strung out along a ridge.
With our own vegetables and fowl, countless fruit and nut trees we can offer our guests some fabulous fresh produce. With a resident chef available to prepare anything from a home made pizza to a four course extravaganza you can enjoy a gourmet experience without leaving the property. Alternatively, you can be left in peace to do your own thing.
Should you want to venture further afield, we can offer advice and help to book restaurants, art galleries or train tickets or to take you trekking.
