Location
The house is located in Piegaio Alto, a hillside area of the
Garfagnana and Pescaglia. Lucca town is a 16 km/10 miles drive away
from the house. The distance to Pisa airport is approx. 45 km,
whereas Florence city & airport are about 70 km away.
The Garfagnana and the wonderful valley of Pescaglia are
repudiated to be one of the most beautiful areas of the Lucchesia
considering the panoramic position. Here you will find many little
hamlets such as Piegaio Alto, Colognora or Vetriano, the latter has
a medieval tower and the smallest theatre of the world, only 55
sqm, named by the musician Alfredo Catalani
This charming tower house is situated in the hamlet of Piegaio
Alto - it was restored with great care by using the old material to
maintain the original character and charm of the house, stone
walls in and outside with visible stones, beamed ceilings.
Guests who choose this picturesque spot as a holiday home may have
a walk, go horse-back riding or to do a trip by mountain bike on
small paths in the woods to enjoy healthy life and the taste of
nature. The temptation of the local specialties could also be a
reason why one would decide to stay in this area. Here you may
taste the "faro"-soup, "polenta" with rabbit and excellent local
wines.

Lucca Town
Lucca is the most wonderful small town; its famous walls enclose
a place that can be walked or cycled with ease yet remains full of
secrets.One of Italy's finest mediaeval treasures, the centre is
unspoilt and is sprinkled with palazzi, towers and almost countless
splendid churches. The surrounding hills produce some excellent
wines and arguably the finest olive oil anywhere, whilst the
beaches and nightlife are but a small hop away. You can visit the
house where Giacomo Puccini was born or visit the famous Villas of
Napoleons sisters.
Please note awkward spiral staircase.
Cleaning, gas & electricity at extra cost.
