Bordered by the Old Town wall, the beautifully cared for garden has spectacular views across the Apuane Alps. The stone pillars and seating niche in the garden of this grand home, transport you into another time.
Although situated in the village, having been the village nobleman's house, the garden is completely secluded.
Enjoy breakfast or lunch in one of the interesting parts of the garden, spend the day by the pool savouring the views and dine in one of the 3 restaurants in the village before watching the wonderful Tuscan sunset.
The old features of the house have been wonderfully restored by Leonardo Guiddi, whose family have owned the house for hundreds of years. All the rooms have been restored with an eye to historic detail, with interesting Tuscan furniture and ornamentation enhanced by an original use of colour.
Only 30 minutes drive from the great historic city of Lucca, the Medie Valley part of the region of Garfagnana is famous for its panoramic scenery, attractive villages and wholesome food. Surrounded by the Appennine and Apuane Mountains, the village is known to be one of the loveliest villages in Italy.
It is an interesting, atmospheric village used as a quiet resort in the hot summer months and known for its fresh mountain air, lovely climate and thick chestnut forest. The village has three restaurants and a number of cafe bars, shops and good amenities.
