Gassano Villa | Ancient mill-Tuscany. PRIVATE POOL- near to CINQUE TERRE-barbecue-river-wifi

5 Bedroom Villa in Gassano, Fivizzano

Since 2007, with great satisfaction, we have been sharing our home with Travellers.
To the”Ai Torchi Vecchi”(the meaning of the name of this place is:”to the old presses”)is one of the most striking corners which is in the valley of the river Rosaro in Lunigiana,in the north-west part of Tuscany.It is perhaps the most ancient mill system,how one immagines from the very beautiful pedestrian bridge of medieval origin,all made of stone which crosses the river and separates it still from the nearby village of Posara.On the property the water-level mark and the tracks of where the water used to run under the mill are still very visible. The complex included three adjacent mills,at present one af them has been restructured and changed into a two-floor habitation of about 500 mq.On the ground floor is a large kitchen with fire-place,living room,dining room and one bathroom and small gym. You can still find the ancient handmade stone presses now integrated in the furnishing and all of this really creates a very special place. From an internal stair one accesses the upper floor which also has its own separate entrance with five bedrooms each with private en-suite bathroom with shower or bath tube. The outside area is just in front of the river and is equipped with barbecue,sink,table and benches for eating. Behind the house is a swimming-pool, 12x5m, with deckchairs, sunbeds and changing room. The parking for 3 cars is shaded and has charging for electric cars. A large circular hearth with seating is ideal for staying around the fire for an aperitif or simply for gazing at the starry sky or warming up after a night swim in the pool. Immersed in the greenery with just the sound of the river, isolated,it is very cool in the summer period.”Ai Torchi Vecchi” is the ideal place for lovers of nature and tranquillity.
Due to its geographical location it is also a good starting point for tourist itineraries in the nearby towns rich in history or in cities such as Pisa and Lucca, for days at the seaside in Versilia or in the Cinque Terre, for walks in the mountains along the paths of Apuan Alps.
A trusted person is available on call to meet your needs during your stay and will keep the pool clean.

Summary: Our family of nine spent a week here and everyone was enchanted by the gorgeous setting and unusual home. The grounds were breathtaking with the river running behind the house and lots of places to enjoy the outdoors. We saw a family of foxes one night and we enjoyed the fireflies in the evenings. We slept with the windows open and the sound of the river running was beautiful. The house itself was unusual with the features of the ancient mill built into the home. The 5 bedrooms, each with a private bath were perfect for a large family. It was very clean and updated and the bedrooms were comfortable. Our hosts and the property manager were so helpful and they even left us a huge basket of fresh fruit. Our only challenges were the spotty WiFi (likely due to the location and the 9 people trying to use it), and the very American desire for a clothes dryer. We found the kitchen, while nicely equipped, a little difficult to use to prepare large meals, but we made it work. Overall, the home is like no place we have been before and it made our trip unforgettable!

Summary: The house and grounds are amazing. Even better than described. The pool was lovely too.

Summary: Very spacious - so many rooms and areas to relax in both inside and out (the photos don't do it justice) Very good communication with owner and caretaker of the property Nice big swimming pool with towels provided Wi-fi can be temperamental so don't rely on it for anything important or substantive If coming from UK note you will need to leave 500 Euro CASH deposit (returned at the end) Would definitely come back

Summary: This was a very unique place to stay - the location is in a stunning wooded area next to the quaint town of Fivizzano. It was amazing how they built the home over an ancient olive oil mill too. The pool was so well maintained and a highlight for everyone. The owner and her manager, Karsten, were very responsive as well. We would recommend this amazing place to everyone.

Summary: The ancient rustic charm of this old mill is beyond words or even pictures. Every day we stayed there we came to appreciate more and more deeply the beauty of this property and the incredible skill and creativity that went into its restoration. It is an old stone masterpiece. By the time we left we were looking at our calendars to imagine when we could come again. Big and spacious, there is room for everyone to find their own individual favorite spot and enjoy it all to themselves or with whomever they choose. I would stay here again just for the kitchen. It is amazing! But truth be told, we would stay here for a hundred other reasons as well. Number one would be the kitchen. Number two would be getting to sleep every night with the wonderful sounds of the stream just outside the window. Number three would be the church bells just across the stream in Posara. And then there's Enrica, the owner, who made it her personal business the make sure that we had everything we needed. She is a gem of a person. The swimming pool is perfection. The picnic tables, fire pits, the old stone bridge into town, everything is hundreds of years old and gorgeous! Best of all, this is outside of the range of most tourism and thus we get the real experience of living in Italy. We all LOVED it and recommend it wholeheartedly!

Summary: We had the pleasure to stay 8 nigths and had a wonderful time. No surprices and description on HomeAway nailed it. Carsten was a great help, always willing to help and answer questions. He arranged a winetasting at a local winery at Monastero Fratti Bianchi and it's something everyone should try - remember cash :). Also a great thanks to Marta who arranged a private chef one evening for a local 5 course dinner. Chef Cosimo and Irene did it great and something that could be recommended for others. We really enjoyed the house and it's locations.

Summary: This property is absolutly breathtaking! I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a little slice of heaven!

Summary: We enjoyed a fun and relaxing week with the family in Ai Vecchi. The house was great with plenty of rooms for the family of ten. We mostly spent time around the pool area every day which was the perfect spot for reading as well as working on the tan. The house is situated separately with its own road to enter - so it gives a very peaceful and private time for the vacation. Kitchen area gave a good space to arrange lunch and dinner every day. However the placement of the kitchen is the only minus. The lower floor facing the river made it quite dark and due to the forrest, plenty of flies made its way into the kitchen space which was quite annoying. The surroundings are great too with vineyards, mountains and beautiful little villages. We loved the town of Fivizzano which offers great bakery, butcher, ice-cream and nice espresso!

Summary: The house, apparently a medieval water mill, has been lovingly restored and is simply beautiful. The standard of the interior works, in particular the delightful kitchen, and the furnishings is very high. The house is situated in a spacious estate with a very large pool. There are many very nice accommodations for sitting and relaxing. Cabins for changing give you the feeling of a beach resort. There is also a brook where you can sit and enjoy a glass of wine. The point person, Mr. Carsten, was nice and very helpful. All in all, it was a beautiful stay.
