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

From Casa del Falcetto, the views are nothing short of extraordinary. In every direction, uninterrupted 360‑degree panoramas of the National Park unfold—vast, dramatic, and endlessly captivating. The sense of space and tranquillity is profound, creating an immediate feeling of escape.

Despite its elevated position, the villa offers easy access and generous private parking, with none of the steep drops or precarious edges often associated with hillside properties. Arrival is effortless and reassuring.

Whether you are relaxing in the lounge, enjoying the serenity of the poolside, or stepping out onto one of the Juliet balconies that grace the two principal bedrooms, the views are ever‑changing and deeply atmospheric. Below lie a small local farm and a charming country church, while further afield, perched high on the surrounding hills like an eagle’s eyrie, are the historic fortress villages of Castiglioncello and Pugliano.

At lunchtime, the local bar in Pugliano serves some of the finest pasta in the area—an authentic and much‑loved local secret.
Just three miles away, in Reusa, you will find the acclaimed restaurant Spino Fioretti, where a superb weekday lunch—Pranzo del Lavoro—is available Monday to Friday for around €12, including water and wine, offering outstanding value without compromising on quality.

Situated within a protected National Park, the surrounding countryside remains completely unspoilt. It is often said that staying here feels like stepping back in time. A leisurely twenty‑minute drive brings you to Fivizzano, the principal town of the commune, where you can enjoy a coffee and stroll the streets, sometimes encountering only one or two passing cars. The area is rich in rustic yet charming restaurants, and the warmth of the local people is a constant—always ready with a friendly buona sera or buon appetito.

Despite the feeling of seclusion, Casa del Falcetto is by no means isolated. Everyday amenities—including bank, post office, and supermarket—are located in Casola, just a five‑minute drive away. The same easy drive brings you to Pieve San Lorenzo, where free parking allows you to catch the train directly to the exquisite walled Renaissance city of Lucca (approximately one hour, and reasonably priced). From here, travel extends effortlessly to destinations throughout Italy, from Rome to Milan.

The coast is equally accessible. Within one hour by car, you can reach the beautiful beaches of Lerici and Portovenere, as well as the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Cinque Terre, with its colourful villages, secluded coves, and dramatic cliffs plunging into the sea. A little further afield lie Santa Margherita, Portofino, Rapallo, and vibrant Viareggio, while inland journeys lead to Parma, famed for its Parmesan cheese and Parma ham—or onward to the incomparable city of Florence. The possibilities are truly endless.
