We really enjoyed our stay, Lia and Giulio were perfect hosts and made us feel really welcome, provided lots of information on the local area. The area is stunning with a great mountain backdrop.The accommodation was well presented and the kitchen has everything we needed, the bed was extremely comfortable and the bathroom was beautifully finished.The garden and private pool was a real treat, it was cleaned daily and just what you need in the Italian summer.The Garfagnana is real Tuscany and we would highly recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Lia Borrotzu

Host profile image
We are Lia and Giulio, husband and wife, with many years experience in the travel and hospitality industries. Previously living in Puglia and hosting guests in our apartment, we made the move to Tuscany and are now pleased to welcome guests to the newly refurbished garden apartment, set in our home.
We love having guests share this wonderful space and try our utmost to ensure their stay is relaxing and enjoyable.

Why they chose this property

This part of Tuscany is truly special. With the beautiful Apuan Alps on the doorstep with an abundance of fabulous villages, towns, scenery and sites make it a perfect mix of exploration and relaxation.
There is always something to see and do and so many festivals and events to enjoy.
We particularly love being within easy driving reach of the Versilia coast and beyond with Liguria and Emilia-Romagna so close.
The added bonus of a train station just a 5 minute drive away, which is on the Pisa/Lucca/Aulla line means it is also easy to get out and about by rail.

What makes this property unique

The newly refurbished apartment has its own private access and guests have sole use of the pool which is set in our large garden with stunning views.
The thriving village of Colognola with bar/tabac, supermarket, car wash, hairdresser, pasticceria, grocer and mechanic, is just a 5 minute walk away.
Being on site but with a mind on discretion, means we are always available for any questions or queries.
