A little about the area:
This is a real away from it all retreat, yet you can walk to a restaurant in less than 1o minutes (only open weekends outside of season, and you need to book, but food is amazing!). Only 5 mins by car to a village with supermarkets, bars, restaurants & train station serving Lucca,Barga, Pisa, Florence & The Cinque Terre. The bread man visits daily, vegetables are available on site.
The local village of Piazza Al Serchio with its bars, couple of restaurants, supermarket, train station, river and Tuesday morning market when the village comes alive, is say 3 minutes away by car.
The views from this extremely peaceful property are magnificent - the house overlooks the green and fertile Serchio valley, with views of the Apuane and Appenine Alps.
This really is the perfect location - an ideal place to unwind deep in the countryside, yet close enough to all local amenities, and a convenient base for exploring by car or train.
