WHAT WE LIKE ABOUT THIS PROPERTY :

The property is set within walking distance of town and offers extensive accommodation which offers the possibility to make one's mark with a little decorative work. View of the castle. There is the possibility of creating further accommodation in the press rooms.

THINGS TO BEAR IN MIND:

The property requires a kitchen although the piping has been installed. The property has a good view but can also see the railway bridge, although this could be screened with the clever planting of a few trees.

The building totals 320 meters sq.

WHERE IS IT :

The beaches are 24 km, skiing 39 km, Pisa 77 km and shops are within walking distance. There is a train station in Aulla with trains to Lucca - Pisa - La Spezia - Parma.

Aulla is one the largest towns in Lunigiana; it has a good selection of shops, supermarkets, medical centre, public transport and links to the motorway. The historic town centre is the site of a marble fountain built in the year of Italian unity and the 16th century fortress called La Brunella is perched on a hill overlooking the town. The fortress now houses the Museum of Natural History of Lunigiana. Enjoy the colourful market hosted in the town centre every Saturday morning.

Lunigiana (pronounced Loonee-janna) is 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.
