WHAT WE LIKE ABOUT THIS PROPERTY

The position in a lovely village with shops and restaurants in the village and walking distance to a larger town with train station. Mainline trains also to the Cinque Terre (approx 30 mins).

THINGS TO BEAR IN MIND

The piazza offers a large and safe space but the property itself does not have a garden.

WHERE IS IT ?

Distances: Villafranca in Lunigiana 1,5 km (town with train station and supermarkets), Pontremoli 13 km, ski resort 36 km, beaches 35 km, Pisa (airport) 85 km

There is an olympic size open air swimming pool and tennis courts just a few minutes walk from the property.

In the summer months the village hosts a famous festival re enacting medieval times with fortune tellers, jugglers, minstrels, acrobats, local handicrafts and of course food and wine ! There is an ex convent in the village with a lovely internal courtyard and gardens. The chestnut woods around the village were described and Dante's Divine Comedy.

The property is set in the heart of Lunigiana (pronounced Loonee-janna) a magical part of Tuscany starting with its name the ?Land of the Moon?. The hills that encircle Lunigiana create an intimate and relaxed atmosphere whilst the blend of the mountains and sea are extremely inviting to those who enjoy the outdoors. The rolling landscape is liberally sprinkled with castles of Medici or Malaspina vintage but for lovers of the coast the sea is only half-an-hours? drive away.

Lunigiana is special and has been likened to a magical kingdom. It is not only the breath-taking scenery with its abundance of medieval castles but you simply feel a huge sense of wellbeing radiating from the sunshine, glorious countryside, delicious food and wine, kind friendly locals and most importantly, from the sense of tradition and community amongst people here that is rarely seen in modern day life.

The golden sandy beaches around Lerici and the pebble coves of the Cinque Terre are ideal for swimming and sailing in the summer while the snow clad mountains offer skiing in the local resorts during the winter months and are each a short drive away. The area is criss-crossed with marked footpaths for walks to the hills and mountains. The airports of Pisa, Parma and Genova are all within an hours? drive.
