A little about the location: Approached via a private driveway over a little bridge (the bridge is 2.5M wide) this is an ideal peaceful spot but just a short walk away from 2 small ‘villages’ where one can find a bakers 500m; pharmacy 500m; bar 600m . There is a restaurant 1.1km away and a pizzeria 1.3km .
There are various good restaurants providing fresh local home cooked traditional food within a very short drive, as well as local one off shops, delicatessens, gelaterias and supermarkets.
The location is also 15 minutes north of the market town of Castelnuovo di Garfagnana with its famous Thursday morning market, numerous bars & restaurants.
For relaxing afternoons out, there are lots of pretty villages to explore in the immediately locality, one of which is fully walled commanding outstanding views over the Apuane mountains. Another, less than a 10 minute drive away offers a further opportunity to swim in the clear cold waters of the river. Many of these villages have festas in the summer with food, drink and dancing.
Situated only a short drive from the National Park of Orrecchiella, the location is ideal for walking, hiking, horse-riding, mountain biking and picnicking, surrounded by views of the seemingly endless mountains, and local chestnut woodland.
For those who enjoy the outdoor life there is also a local tree climbing/zip wiring park just 1.3 km from the house , with courses adapted for all age groups, from the very young to adults. Enjoy a picnic here too on hot days.

The beautiful mediaeval town of Barga with its cobbled streets, great architecture, cathedral and great views is only a 25 minute drive. Barga is famous for its art and music, and here one can often enjoy free music, evening markets, dancing, and sometimes even impromptu entertainment from Paolo Nutini! Becoming well known for its restaurants too, Barga has plenty of places to eat.
