Enter Gran Burrone Castle (named after Rivendell Castle), a preserved slice of medieval Italy with this meticulously-restored, historic property. Consisting of a conspicuously-maintained 10th century Tower and Castle, this hilltop home offers eye-opening views of the Serchio River Valley (called Mediavalle), olive groves and vineyards.
Grill the perfect Barbeque at the poolside outdoor kitchen under the porch, then, dine at the alfresco set, alongside lush Italian gardens and unforgettable quiet. Whether you will later visit Lucca for the best sightseeing or Borgo a Mozzano for an ice cream and a river-side resting walk, returning to Gran Burrone Castle will catapult you back to its origins as a medieval stop for knights and pilgrims who traveled the Via Francigena from England to the Holy Land.
