Immaculately simple restoration of a spacious village house, set in a hillside village, with private pretty walled garden and private swimming pool.

Just a very short walk from the village parking area takes you to the courtyard where you enter the property. The kitchen is bright and holds a table and chairs and offers everything you could need. On this level, is also a large sitting room, two good double bedrooms and a well-fitted modern bathroom. The feel is light and airy, with a good connection from inside to outside.

Downstairs are a further two rooms (one used as an occasional bedroom) and another bathroom/laundry area. There is direct access to this level from the pedestrian village path and out to the pool area. The private walled garden, with lovely view and with a private swimming pool is a particular feature of the property. It is a special place to while away the day in totally peaceful and calm surroundings. This area is owned by the property and it is not shared in any way.

The house is only a short distance (3 kms) from the ancient town of Fivizzano.

Fivizzano is a medieval walled town with a central cobbled piazza and is often referred to as the Florence of Lunigiana. The bustling town hosts many cultural events over the summer with concerts in the piazza and reenactments of medieval parades. With its musical heritage the town also attracts international musicians during its annual folk music festival. There is a hospital, shops and restaurants in the town.

Lunigiana is a magical part of Tuscany. 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.

Distances: Fivizzano 3 km, Aulla (motorway and railway) 15 km, Lerici (beaches) 40 km, Cerreto (skiing) 20 km, Pisa (airport) 95 km, Lucca 95 km, Florence 150 km.
