La Giaconda - Holiday Apartment in Castelnuovo di Garfagnana
Apartment with 2 Bedrooms, Sleeps 4
Located in the heart of the historic centre of Castelnuovo di Garfagnana, in a riverside position, this apartment is perfectly situated for a holiday with all the conveniences of a town, yet a feel of the countryside relaxing on the riverside terrace….There is even the benefit use of a swimming pool at a local agriturismo 1km away (payable daily). For days when exploring does not suit, the owner has thoughtfully provided bicycles for days in town……
The owner has ensured all modern conveniences are provided in this newly refurbished two bedroom apartment which still has a traditional feel, it was built in the 19th C and benefits from the enormous stone walls, important for keeping the property cool.
The tastefully furnished modern feel apartment is spacious and cool, and boasts a living room (with sofa bed), dining room, fully equipped kitchen leading to the terrace, one double and one single bedroom. The light and airy shower room also leads out to the eating terrace for dining al fresco, pre dinner drinks, breakfast outdoors or just relaxing with a book....
This really is a wonderful choice for those looking for immediate access to the dramatic countryside of the Garfagnana, but with all the bars, cafes, restaurants, and other amenities of a town thrown in …...... Although the kitchen is well equipped, one can decide not to lift a finger, and eat out very cheaply for breakfast, lunch and dinner.....For those who do not wish to hire a car, the town has a train station with lines to Lucca, Pisa, Florence and the coast (the latter two involving changes).
