About this property
Romantic Tuscany villa with private pool in stunning location, complete privacy.
Casa Metato is a charming stone cottage that was refurbished a few years ago, using traditional methods and local natural materials. Inside, beamed ceilings and an fireplace create a warm, rustic atmosphere with modern comfort.
The house is set in an elevated position 2 km from the historic medieval village of Castiglione di Garfagnana, offering spectacular views of the Garfagnana valley and the iconic "Uomo Morto" mountain.
Accessed via a narrow country lane, the property features a private gated entrance, around 1,500 square meters of beautifully maintained garden, and a range of outdoor amenities including a BBQ, firepit, pizza oven, hammock, a jacuzzi and a private pool (6.5 x 3.5 m) surrounded by terracotta paving.
Inside, the ground floor includes a fully equipped kitchen, bathroom, and utility room. Upstairs, there is a double bedroom and a second bedroom with bunk beds. Spacious porches on both sides of the house provide perfect spots for relaxing and enjoying the scenery.
Just 2 km from Castiglione, with its restaurants, bars, and historic charm, Casa Metato offers a peaceful yet convenient location. This idyllic retreat is perfect for couples or small families seeking tranquility, natural beauty, and easy access to local attractions.
