Amenities/Facilities provided

Accessibility
The property is on a hill, accessed by steps, on a multi level site so is unsuitable for very small children, pushchairs/prams and guests who are not fully mobile.

Coast/Beach
The coastal resorts of Forte dei Marmi, Viareggio, and Monterosso, set in the beautiful Cinque Terre are all accessible both by rail and car approximately 1 ½ hours away.

Travel
A car is essential for access to this property. Driving times approx. Pisa airport 75 minutes, Parma airport 90 minutes Genoa airport 105 minutes.

Distances
There is a small shop for essentials, 5 mins walk into the village. For main shopping Aulla is approx 30 minutes drive, also access to the autostrada.

Further details
Garfagnana is set in a wide valley, surrounded by the mountains of the Apennines, and the Apuan Alps. The area is totally unspoilt, and remains untouched by the tourism evident in other, perhaps better known, parts of Tuscany.

The pace of life is very slow, and there are hundreds of hill top villages to explore, where it appears time has stood still since the days when most of the locals worked on the land. Try Barga, known for its restaurants and the beautiful ancient walled town of Lucca, the birthplace of Pucini. Florence is also accessible, as is Pisa, and Siena or an hours drive down the autostrada across to Parma and Modena.
