The excellent local cuisine and products sold in two village shops will allow you to experience real Italian village life. So ... we're really glad that you chose to venture away from some of Tuscan's over-populated centers, You will discover a less typical and interesting Tuscan region. Starting from a general location - the village where the house is called Casone Carpinelli, and is set right at the Passo Carpinelli mountain pass and within a national park of the Apuan Alps, in the northern part of Tuscany. The province belongs to the old town of Lucca, on the southern side of the province, a distance of about 80 minutes. A closer central town - Aulla is a 40-minute drive away. The area is characterized by a mountainous landscape that combines Alpine and Mediterranean vegetation, not lacking in green and fresh air, even at the height of summer. Thanks to altitude, about 800 meters above sea level, the weather is particularly pleasant from late spring to late autumn. The humidity is low and therefore at the height of summer, you will find clear air and comfortable temperatures for walking, swimming in nearby lakes, or sunbathing in the garden. For snow and ski lovers, the winter months until the beginning of spring will allow you to spend time in the snow during your vacation not far away. Famous attractions within an hour's drive will diversify your vacation and fill out your photo album. Welcome to Garfagnana - the valley and the mountain!

We had a lovely holiday (family with 5 kids, age 11 to 23), peaceful and quiet and with the option to go out for a good meal nearby. Culture and swimming to be found with a car ride of 20 min, a beautiful mountain lake for swimming and nice little towns.
Lucca and other more touristic places are a bit further, still good to do by car.
The house and garden are spacious with all you need for a relaxing holiday. Nice addition is the separate part of the house which contains a bedroom, a bathroom and a little kitchen, perfect for grandparents or another joining couple to have their own private area.
Communication with the owner went very smooth and when we had questions they were answered quickly.
We hope we’ll be able to return in the future.
