About this property

Villa in 2 Acres: Large Heated Private Pool; 360 deg. Stunning Views; Free WIFI

From Casa del Falcetto as far as you can see in all directions the 360 degree National Park views are special and stunning.

There is easy access and plenty of parking with no precipitous edges to worry about.

Whether from the lounge, poolside, or juliette balconies a feature of the two main bedrooms, you can see the small local farm, the pretty little church and in the distance from the eagles eyrie you could say, are the hillside fortress villages of Castiglioncello and Pugliano, where at lunch time the local bar serves some of the finest pasta in the area! At Reusa (3 miles) lies restaurant Spino Fioretti where Monday to Friday a superb lunch is just Euro 12 incl water and wine. Ask for 'Pranzo del lavoro'.

Within a National Park the whole area is totally unspoilt, and it is sometimes hard to believe that you are not living in a different age. You may drive the twenty minutes or so across to Fivizzano, the main town in the Commune, have a coffee at Elviros, freely exchange your books, and maybe only see one or two cars. Restaurants are numerous and have a rustic charming quality, and the ever friendly Italians always ready with a buona sera or buon appetito.

At the same time we are not isolated. Local amenities, ie bank, PO, supermarket can be found at Casola a five minute drive away. Similar drive time to the little town of Pieve San Lorenzo and with free parking then get the train to the lovely walled renaissance city of Lucca (one hour and about Euro 6), or just about anywhere else from Rome to Milan. Alternatively a one hour drive will take you down to the coastal beaches Lerici or Portovenere and the heart of the World heritage site of Cinque Terre with its little Cornish type coves and precipitous cliffs plunging to the sea. Another twenty minutes drive would have you in Ravello, Santa Margueritta, Portofino or in the other direction to Viareggio or inland to Parma the home of parmegiano cheese, and Parma ham or back down the coast to Florence!! The options are endless

For your information the property can be seen on Google Earth with the following co-ordinates: Elevation: 548

About the host

Hosted by Mrs Linda Perkins

Host profile image
We are Linda and Tony, have been married for over forty years, and living in the same house for over thirty of them. We have two children, Mark (30) and Emma (34), and a sixteen year old grand-daughter, Liana, borne within a few months of our Miniature Schnauzer, Chip. So you can see we are well and truly set in our ways, although we hope not boring with it. We have run a small local business together for the last thirty or so years, and are proud to say still managed to make it through. We hope you will enjoy staying in our beautiful Tuscan home of which we are very proud.

Why they chose this property

I had a health scare around this time, which prompted us to cast around for a project to take our mind off things, and without ever really expecting it to crystallize into anything visited Lunigiana, the ancient name for the most Northern part of Tuscany. Having driven up into the National Park foothills of the Apuane Mountains, with almost every turn of the road bringing either a picturesque or extensive scenic view, we came to the fortress village of Casola set on a rocky outcrop as one sees so often in travelogues. The whole area is so totally unspoilt, and once we set eyes upon our delightful old barn, set amongst vine terraces and olive groves high up on the side of hill, despite trying very hard to walk away, it was a done deal.

What makes this property unique

Total peace, quiet and privacy, it is quite something if you see a car drive down the road on the other side of the valley.
A massive (10m x 5m) heated pool (heated at no cost to guests) for your sole use, with wonderful views in every direction.
Lovely walks along countryside tracks to make your own personal discoveries.
If you want a change of scene there is wonderful accessibility to choose from; the coast - there are all sorts of resorts from Pisa to Genoa from the hustle and bustle of Viareggio or Rapallo to the sophistication of Portovenere and the Cinque Terre; or of course the wonderful charm of the renaissance cities of Pisa, Florence or lovely Lucca yours in an hour for about Euro 6 from our little local station at Pieve san Lorenzo.
