The area:
Francesca is situated just 600m from an ancient traditional Italian mountain village which has a bar and shop, which is ideal for essentials and sitting with a drink taking in local life.
The property is also less than 5 minute drive from the larger village of Piazza al Serchio with all facilities including traditional shops, supermarket and Tuesday morning market when the small village really comes alive. There are also some bars, a couple of restaurants a river and a train station for easy exploring.

Whilst in the depths of the countryside, the house is well located for exploring the local market town of Catselnuovo which is a 20 minute drive, the gorgeous and popular mediaeval town of Barga which is a 35 minute drive and the stunning walled mediaeval city of Lucca which is say 1 hour and 10 minutes away. Pisa, with its leaning tower is a 90 minute drive, and one can visit Florence in 2 hours. The famous Wind Caves are a 45 minute drive.
Closer to home there are plenty of little historic villages to visit, many of which have local festas in the summer. There are also the lakes of Gramalazzo, Vagli (with its hidden village submerged by the water) and Pontecosi, and some guests love to swim in the river. Francesca is also ideally located for visiting the local Fortress at Verrucole which is a good afternoon out, with stunning views and some interactive activities for the children. Also close by is the Buffardello tree climbing and zip wire park (ideal for both adults and children of all ages with a variety of runs) where one can take a picnic and spend the entire day in the welcome shade of the forest.
The real beauty of this area is the dramatic mountain scenery, and the hundreds of hilltop villages to explore, endless picnicking opportunities, and the pure peace of a non touristy holiday ......

CHARMING WITH LOTS OF CHARACTER
Spent a week here in early July and really enjoyed the villa. Children loved the pool and the views from the villa were fantastic. It’s very rural, perfect if you enjoy privacy and quiet, but the nearby village had a shop, a bar, where the locals were the most friendly people. Also close to larger towns/villages with good restaurants and handy train stations which we used to travel to Pisa, the amazing Lucca, Florence and Cinque Terre, saving the amount of time spent on incredibly windy local roads. Francesca was very friendly and helpful with one or two minor problems we had. A lovely stay.

Private and lovely villa
We loved staying at the villa! We had all we needed, the scenery is breathtaking. The pool was cold but very welcoming when it was a hot day. The garden is perfect. The villa is remote, away from it all. But there are a lot of lovely villages to visit. The road to the house is challenging especially when you travel with a big Mercedes Sprinter, but the longer we stayed the more casual it went. We will have beautiful memories of this holiday. The communication was perfect. Thank you Francesca! Ciao x

Soggiorno rilassante a Villa Scorticata
Abbiamo soggiornato per una settimana in questa piacevole Villa. Siamo stati bene. La nostra vacanza si è svolta all’insegna del relax. Lunghe passeggiate, bagni in piscina, barbecue sono state le nostre attività preferite. La casa è bene attrezzata dotata di tutti i e la piscina anche se piccolina ha permesso alle mie figlie adolescenti di non annoiarsi. Vicino a Camporgiano ci sono dei piccoli borghi da visitare. É bellissimo il silenzio interrotto solo dai suoni della natura e la bellissima vista sulla valle. Se devo trovare un lato negativo è la comodità dei letti e dei cuscini, anche se dopo un po’ ci si abitua. Grazie a Francesca, host sempre disponibile e molto cordiale.

A great place to relax
We had a great holiday in this cottage. The landlady is very friendly and helpful and gave us lots of tips for trips and restaurants. The house has great facilities such as pool, air conditioning and WiFi. It is in a very quiet location on the mountain, the nearest small town is a few hundred meters away. We had a very relaxing holiday!
