Back to nature house in the middle of an olive grove with wonderful mountain views all around.

Wonderful detached two bedroom cottage in a very private location, with fabulous views of the mountains. The house is accessed down an unpaved country lane to absolute seclusion in the middle of nature.

The house is on two levels. On the ground floor are two bedrooms and a bathroom and a large cupboard. Upstairs is a large open area (50 sqm) of kitchen/dining/living space with a bathroom and a terrace off.

There is a large olive grove of over 2 hectares (5 acres). Electricity is connected. Water is from a spring/stream. Heating from wood burning stoves. Train station 4 kms.

Casa Livia in the area of Casola in Lunigiana, a town set on the hill above the Aulella river with the houses huddled around the central stone tower. The area is famous for stone statues which date back to the Neolithic age and are thought to be gifts to the moon Goddess. There is a selection of shops and restaurants in the town, a chemist and in the neighbouring village a train station with direct trains to Lucca. There are beautiful views to the Apuan mountains and cobbled lanes which lead from the town to the river.

Lunigiana is a magical part of Tuscany with a blend of mountains and the sea which is extremely inviting to those who enjoy the outdoors. The rolling landscape is liberally sprinkled with castles of Medici or Malaspina vintage and for lovers of the coast the sea is only half-an-hours’ drive away. The golden sandy beaches around Lerici and the pebble coves of the Cinque Terre (a UNESCO World Heritage site) are ideal for swimming and sailing. The area is criss-crossed with marked footpaths for walks to the hills and mountains. The airports of Pisa, Parma and Genova are all just over an hour away.

Distances: Gragnola (train station) 4 km, Fivizzano 15 km, Aulla 20 km, Lerici (beaches) 40 km, Cinque Terre 50 km, Lucca 80 km, Pisa (airport) 100 km.
