About this property

Newly Restore Barn With Private Pool View Of hills, 4/5 bedrooms 5 bathrooms

Newly restored, stunning 4 bedroom, 5 bathroom property with private pool, situated deep in the Garfagnana, area famous for its walking, wildlife and fauna. This spacious stone barn has been restored to a very high standard, with all modern conveniences, such as a well equipped kitchen; beautiful shower rooms yet it retains some of the traditional features including chestnut beamed ceilings. The house whilst very traditional has large windows creating a sense of light and airiness not always found in older style properties and it also has the benefit of a large covered terrace on the first floor as well as a another open terrace both of which overlook the garden and pool. Location Situated on the hillside, only 2km from the local market town of Castelnuovo di Garfagnana with its bars, restaurants, shops and famous Thursday morning market. This property is also very convenient, situated less than a 5 minute drive from town with all facilities, and circa 500m from Bonini restaurant.

Superb Tuscan gem!
We had a fantastic family holiday and celebration in this perfect spacious and comfortable Tuscan villa. It was a treat from beginning to end: numerous bathrooms to provide privacy, beautiful swimming pool with a shady area and mountain views and a very well equipped kitchen for family meals. How we miss this beautiful terrace and all the happy moments spent there! We would love to come back. Loretta and her husband were great hosts, always at hand and very communicative. Loretta was very helpful before the holiday as we were trying to organise a special celebration. Thank you both! Your property is stunning and the location is ideal.

Quiet and peaceful with amazing pool!
This home was great, the open plan living works really well and we had meals on the terrace, inside and by the pool! The pool was just so much fun for the kids and adults alike and was clean and well maintained with no red sore eyes at the end of the day! House is cool with a mountain breeze taking the edge of the strong sun. It was also nice and cool at bedtime even when it had been 30 degrees above during the day! About 45 min drive from Lucca and Pisa but set in a quiet and sentence setting this is perfect for a nice relaxed getaway with the fun of the pool on hand day and night but day trips not too far away. The owners were fantastic, genuinely helpful and informative and gave us some great choices for beach locations! We got a little muddled with a toll road ticket and they rectified this at the local post office for us - so more then helpful and very kind couple. We would love to come back and are missing the pool already! Highly recommend.

Lovely escape to Italy even though weather poor
Very helpful owners - lovely property nestled in the Italian mountainside.. Facilities excellent - cooking utensils etc all well provided for.. Unfortunately our weather was not good at the beginning of our stay, however we got out and about to see some of the beautiful surrounding villages during this time. You would definitely need a car to stay here as nearest town / supermarket is not easily walkable for the average family .Would highly recommend for a relaxing escape. Thank you!

A perfect family vacation retreat
We (4 adults and two children) thoroughly enjoyed our stay at La Capanna del Pastore, in the middle 2 weeks of August. The villa was as indicated in the write-up, it was clean and in excellent order, and the local manager (Benito) was always close at hand to answer any questions, address any very minor issues, and even, very kindly, to book local restaurants. The villa, is so close to all the amenities of Castelnuovo, yet only a few minutes by car from this excellent regional centre. Also, as the villa is within the Apennine foothills region, although the temperatures by day were lovely (high 20s C to low 30s C), at night-time the heat reduced, such that sleeping was very comfortable. Additionally, we did not encounter a single mosquito! The swimming pool was family and children friendly, accessed by roman steps the width of the pool, and was just a few yards from the upper, side entrance to the villa. The living space was on the upper level and all the bedrooms were on the lower level, which worked well. The number of bedrooms (four) was matched by the number of bathrooms, with a bed-settee plus another toilet/shower-room on that level. This area of the Apennines is scenically very beautiful and numerous outdoor activities are at hand. The coast, with the Cinque Terre villages (best accessed by boat from, say, the coastal resort of Lerici), are within reach for a day trip. Our family had a wonderful time at this villa and we can thoroughly recommend it.

Beautiful restored barn
We stayed here with a family group and it was perfect as everyone had their own bedrooms and ensuites so plenty of privacy and space. We often ate on the terrace overlooking a beautiful view of the mountains. The grounds and pool were lovely but we did have to keep a careful eye on the toddler as the pool is sunken and on grass level but then again you can never take your eye off small children and water! You can walk into Castlenuovo but it is rather a steep hill and maybe just a little too far for some people. The hosts are wonderful and nothing is too much trouble. We would have no hesitation in booking again if we returned with a group.
