Cottage with 2 Bedrooms, Sleeps 4, Garden, Swimming Pool
Le Lunghe is a little house in the beautiful Garfagnana region of Northern Tuscany, perched in a spectacular position on the outskirts of the medieval village of Sassi. There is a 3.5m diameter, 90cm deep, lightweight swimming pool on the lawn at front of the house, a paved terrace as well as a delightful shaded eating area.
The house has stunning views and is ideal for people who seek peace and solitude, but is within a few minutes walk or drive of all amenities. There are two bars and restaurants within a short walk and you shouldn't have to go much more than 10 miles in any direction to appreciate what the area has to offer.
The house has been recently restored and extended and has a fully fitted dining kitchen, sitting room with sofa bed leading to a large covered verandah and a large bathroom with shower and washing machine. Upstairs there are two double bedrooms, one with a double bed and the other with twin beds or a double.
