About this property

The house lies at the border of Garfagnana above the valley of the river Fegana, one of the most beautiful valleys of the whole region, marked by an unspoilt landscape and spectacular views onto the mountains Apenine and Apuan Alps.
The area boast impressive places for example Orrido di Botri, a canyon with wild cliffs and rocks or the cave Grotta del Vento with its stalactites, stalagmites and underground watercourses. The whole area has a lot to offer to visitors. Nature lovers may go for walks or take hiking tours, sport lovers may choose among horse back riding, rafting, canoeing and fishing. In Autumn, it may be fun to take a walk to search of chestnuts and mushrooms. The charming town of Barga, Castelvecchio Pascoli the Spa town of Bagni di Lucca are also a must for visitors to the region. Lucca with its medieval walls is a short drive away and Pisa, Firenze, Siena and the wine lands of Chianti may all be visited in 1 day trip.

The house is in a prominent position on the top edge of the village, free on 3 sides and built on the back to another house. The house has a lovely garden (about 200sqm) with an outdoor area fully equipped with portable charcoal barbecue, sink in stone, sun umbrella, table and chairs for dining alfresco, a beautiful terrace with garden furniture where you may sunbath after a refreshing dive into the gorgeous saltwater pool (private) completely set in the earth (7,20 m x 3,70m depth 1,30), and from where you can enjoy spectacular views over the mountains. The pool area is also equipped with warm shower.

Changeover day is Saturday, with some flexibility in low season. In high season the house is rented weekly.

The house has a private parking and is reached within two roads, asphalted but with some gaps that I can pass through carefully with a jeep car. However, if you have a larger vehicle you may park it in a nearby parking area around 10 minutes walk from the property - in this case I can help you by bringing your luggage to and from the house.

A little slice of heaven

Laura’s property is truly amazing. The pictures don’t do it justice. The views are spectacular and the pool and garden the perfect place to relax. The house was perfectly clean and has everything you need. Vitiana is a picture perfect Italian mountain village with lots of little alleys to explore. You do need to plan a little bit and buy enough food for a few days if you don’t want to drive down the mountain every day to go to the stores. But bread, meat, eggs, and cheese are available at the neighbor’s. We had a really great time and it was the perfect mix of relaxing away from it all and taking trips to sights in the area. Laura is a great host and very attentive yet discreet. Thank you very much, Laura!!

Charming and comfortable mountain village house

Everything was perfect. Laura, the house owner, was lovely and very helpful. The house has been lovingly restored and furnished by Laura in the typical mountain style and is very quaint and comfortable. It is much bigger than the details suggest. It is on 3 floors. There are 2 living rooms; one on the ground floor and one on the first floor. Both have dining tables and open fireplaces. There are 3 double bedrooms; one has double aspect windows, one has a single aspect window and the third bedroom is huge with an extra large double bed with 3 windows offering double aspect. The two doubles share a shower room and the third bedroom is at the top of the house with its own shower room. Both shower rooms have new looking, white suites. The kitchen has a 4 ring gas hob, a centre hot plate and a large oven, a stone sink, dishwasher, and fridge freezer. Every window in the property has a stunningly, beautiful view of the Apennine Mountains and each has a mosquito screen. There is a washing machine in the basement room. The swimming pool is large and the garden delightful (and fully, securely fenced) with plenty of garden furniture and sun loungers. There is private parking for 3 or 4 cars. The village is very quiet and quaint with a bar that opens some nights around 8pm. One evening there was a village talent competition which had a lovely, community feel and the bar was selling donuts too. The shop is hidden in the house next door to the holiday home, but if you ring their doorbell and the owners are in, there is a large choice of cheeses and meats. The lanes up to Vitiana are twisting and narrow, but we didn’t find it difficult. We didn’t have a problem driving our Nissan Qashqai through the very narrow points into the village either. It all added to the idyllic charm of this mountain top village. We visited Lucca, the Cinque Terre, Florence, Barga, Pisa, Forte dei Marmi, Lago Puccini and many mountain top villages - all absolutely stunning. We would highly recommend this holiday home.

Peaceful with lovely views

We very much enjoyed our stay at Laura's lovely house. The location is perfect if you're looking for peace, quiet and the local Italian experience. The pool and patio are fantastic additions to the property and the house itself is very well kept and retains the original feel. Laura is a wonderful host and will make you feel very much at home.

Wonderful retreat...

We took our daughter (24) and son (22) to Laura's house up in the mountains in Vitiana. We all agreed it was the perfect place to chill out in, as well as do little day trips from - and there are many good and diverse places to go to - to choose from. The house is as described, was very clean and did us very well. The local people are charming and friendly. Laura is a brilliant host - professional as well as friendly and she answered queries very quickly. All four of us would recommend staying in Vitiana - the fact that there are a number of repeat guests says it all!

" Bellissimo "

The perfect place to get away from it all.....The property was alot bigger than expected and full of character. The pool and terrace were beautiful with stunning views. We were late arriving and didn't stock up on provisions but we purchased ham, cheese, wine etc from the shop next door which was a wonderful experience. The local people were lovely and friendly and made us feel very welcome. A gorgeous stone property in a stunning setting - just wish we had stayed longer !! Thanks again Laura and we look forward to our next visit. J & N England

About the host

Hosted by Laura Andreozzi

I live in Italy with my husband Fabrizio, our dog Alcohol and 5 nice delightful cats. I have two children, Federico and Giulia, already grown up. My husband and I both live and work at the seaside, but we love very much the area of Mid Valley of Serchio and Garfagnana, where the small medieval stone villages and fortified villages on hilltops well match with the wilderness of untouched landscapes and with the magnificent presence of the Apuan Alps from one side and the Apenine from the other side. Moreover we love to recognize also in the taste of local foods the culture and the flavour of our ancient roots.

Why they chose this property

I am the sole owner of this house since 2007. It was already a beautiful one but I did some works to improve it, also completely renewing bathrooms and kitchen and building the swimming pool. My house is the result of inheritance of my parents and uncles, who intensely loved this area and were used to spend together here summer holidays and Christmas holidays. The house was bought by my family in the 60's, but starting from the beginning of the last century, already my grandparents were used to come here in Vitiana and be guested for holidays in the vicarage of the village by the Parrish itself. The love for Vitiana and the area came intact directly to me and my family.

What makes this property unique

My house is lovely and cosy, and in ideal location both for visiting interesting naturalistic/historical places, and for resting with family and friends, both in summer and in winter, in a place with magnificent views, from house and garden, over an angle of 360 degree, from the mountains of the Apenine above Orrido di Botri, to over the Mid Valley of Serchio and Apuan Alpes, up to the Valley of river Fegana and the Pizzorne plateau.
