Vibbiana & Fieno - Newly renovated farmhouse with heated pool
Farmhouse with 4 Bedrooms, Sleeps 8, Garden, Swimming Pool
Found in the heart of the Garfagnana, 1hr 15 mins north of Lucca in an edge of ancient village location are the beautifully restored Vibbiana Farmhouse cottages. The site consist of two newly restored traditional stone buildings set in a stunning edge of village location with views over the mountains, with the option to hire a 3rd property (Vibbianella) only a stones throw away in the midst of the village.
The properties are rented together to provide flexible accommodation for extended families/groups requiring an element of individual privacy, whilst enjoying ‘together time’. There is a good quality, brand new infinity style heated pool for the exclusive use of guests. (heated via solar panels)
Internally, the house has been restored to a high standard with traditional flooring, and beamed ceilings throughout. The kitchen has been hand made with reclaimed local wood, but boasts all modern conveniences including Carrara marble sink. There are original features throughout such as open fireplace in living room, and cotto washing clothes tub in dining room.
Really spacious, with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, and lots of entertainment (English TV, Playstation 2, DVD, good quality stereo) this is an ideal family choice, but would also be perfect as a romantic treat for two, courtesy of the four poster bed and claw footed bath!
Fieno: One bedroom, a bathroom and a cloakroom sleeping 2 plus 2. A detached, romantic newly converted barn retaining its original arch vaulted beamed ceilings, with new rustic style cotto flooring to complete the traditional/romantic theme. On the ground floor there is an open plan living/dining/kitchen area, with sofa bed, and a cloakroom with downstairs WC.
Upstairs which is reached by solid chestnut stairs, there is a large bedroom, with ensuite bathroom (with luxury of both bath, and power shower over) and dressing room. Ideal for a small family or couple which are part of the main group but require privacy and some romance!
Outside, there is around half an acre of child friendly land, stunning views and 13M x 5M infinity style heated pool with roman steps– swim in the mountains!
