Description

The ancient 16th-century stone Villa Massa stands in panoramic position in the beautiful Tuscan region of Garfagnana, between Lucca and Versilia. It features a private swimming pool, stunning covered terrace and small garden. Free Wi-fi is available in the house.

Set over 3 floors the villa has 3 bedrooms but can accommodate up to 8 people. There are 3 1/2 bathrooms, 2 lounges and a large kitchen.

The villa has been finely renovated respecting its original style and using traditional materials, such as terracotta tiles, stone and wood. It is furnished in period style and with great attention and care to details.

Standing in Massa Sassoroso (850 m above sea level), a typical village of Garfagnana on the side of the Pania di Corfino and close to the Parco Naturale dell`Orecchiella (Orecchiella Natural Park), the villa is the ideal destination for relaxing holidays and at the same time an excellent starting point for visiting cities of art such as Pisa, Lucca and Florence or for spending a day at the sea (56 kilometres away), on the fashionable Versilia Riviera.

Massasassoroso has 2 restaurants within 2kms., as well as a little shop/bar with good coffee. It is the heritage village of the famous Argentinian tango composer Astor Piazzoli.

The villa features a private swimming pool (7.5 x 5.5 m), and a large furnished balcony covered with an arched loggia. The pool opens on May 1, but can be opened earlier by request to the owner. Please ask.

Garfagnana: Garfagnana is 'Hidden Tuscany' at its best. With its stunning scenery it is the best area in Tuscany for walking and outdoor activities. We have close ties with an Outdoor Activities company who offer many international class adventures.

Castelnuovo, the nearby market town, has many restaurants, cafes, bars, supermarkets and all other types of shops. There is a tourist information office and a weekly market selling a wide variety of fashion, household goods, flowers, fruit and vegetables.

Mountain biking, hill walking and horse riding are all available locally.

There is an excellent pre-arrival shopping service and cooked meal service which we can help you access.
