In one of the smallest community regions of Italy, Fabbriche di Vallico, lies this traditional and typical Tuscan country property in a truly
idyllic setting, just aside a
quiet country road that leads into the apuanian mountains.
The region, also known as the Park of Garfagnana, is famous for its beautiful green scenery and popular for its culinary traditions.
This beautifully converted farmhouse has been carefully and skillfully renovated, preserving the beauty and charm
of the original 19th century structure and retaining a true rustic Tuscan feel through original traditional features such as
terracotta flooring and wooden beamed ceilings. Nearby, surrounded by the beauty and tranquillity of the countryside, is a delightful stream
with a natural pool suitable for bathing.
The property offers 6 attractive and comfortable apartments, each with its own private bathroom and some with balcony.
There is also an appartment which has been specially adapted and is suitable for disabled guests.
All the apartments have been furnished in typical rustic Tuscan style with certain pieces of furniture, such as kitchen cupboards, drawers
and bedside tables, dating back to the beginning of the 20th century, and with many charming rustic details such as old prints and old copper pans on the walls!
There is a swimming pool (14 m x 7 m) within the 5000 sq m grounds and a terrace area for sun bathing as well as a playground for children.
In summer one can also bathe in the stream which runs directly beside the property.
A terrace, furnished with deckchairs, sun loungers and parasol umbrellas, offers wonderful panoramic views of the surrounding tranquil Tuscan countryside.

Honey and Olive Oil...

Various types of honey are produced here on site as well as native olive oil and visits can be arranged to the apiary and
to see the production of olive oil. Also typical Tuscan lunches and evening meals can be prepared to order from local restaurants.
Visits to the Marble Stone Quarry and Lardo di Colonnata ..
A particularly interesting excursion in this region is a visit to the marble stone quarry "MICHELANGELO" in Massa u. Carrara.
One can follow the various processes, from the mining and extraction of the marble to its transportation, allowing a real insight
into the tradition and processing of this very precious and famous stone.
To round off your visit we recommend tasting the famous "Lardo di Colonnata"
(a Tuscan speciality of this region). This Italian delicacy, which has been stored in marble containers, is often served
with slices of tomatoe and is a highlight of the Tuscan cuisine.
Sport
Sporting and outdoor activities are available here in abundance! Mountain bike tours, with many excellent routes starting directly from the
property, trekking, river-walking and hill-climbing, or just simply table tennis.
Those looking for a few speedy PS more, there is a motor-cross track just nearby!
For all "sun worshippers", there is of course the swimming pool with panoramic terrace for relaxing and enjoying the glorious Tuscan sunshine.
And how about a cool drink followed by a delicious barbeque to complete the picture !
Trout Fishing
From the mountains just behind the apartments, originates a stream which flows into a lake and continues on into the river Serchio.
An ablsolute ideal area for trout fishing, either directly by the property or from the medieval bridge nearby.
Trekking
A wonderful trekking route starts directly from the property which takes you across the mountain range of Fabbriche di Vallico
to the iron and steel works where in ancient times, iron for weapons and tools was produced.
Mountain Bikes / Cycling
Many of the trekking and hiking routes can also be followed on mountain bikes.
For cyclists, the Via Lodovica is just 2 km away, a route which stretches over the Paso
del Vesito to the apuaninian rivera or across the Monte Pitorio and Monte Magno to Versilia.
Wood Burning Stove
Here lies the real charm and character of this traditonal property.
During the renovation and restoration work, the wood burning stove on the 1st floor of the property was fully restored and, on request,
can be used for cooking and baking fresh bread!
