A little about the area
From Casa Capannina you can take a safe walk to the local village of Camporgiano and enjoy a morning coffee, lunch or dinner, pizza etc and when you have the car there is a supermarket there too.
Just across the valley is the stunningly located fortress of Verrucole, which you can see from the garden in the distance, and also the zip wire park which is great fun for both children and adults, and ideal for a day in the welcome shade! You can also picnic and BBQ here if you want to make a day of it.
The local attractive market town of Castelnuovo, famous for its Thursday morning markets, and with all facilities is just a 15 minute drive. This town has bars, restaurants, gelaterias, and a river...In high season the town really comes alive, and often hosts outdoor evening entertainment.
The beautiful mediaeval town of Barga with its cobbled streets, renowned restaurants, Cathedral and stunning views is a 40 minute drive, and often there is free live music here.
Lucca, with its fully intact walls can't be missed for a day out and cycling around the walls is a firm favourite with day trippers and locals alike. Here, spend the day meandering in the shady streets, sitting in the open piazzas, dining al fresco, climbing towers, visiting the Opera (this is the birthplace of Puccini) or just shopping!
The Grotta del Vento, the famous Wind Caves is also a family favourite...
There is lots to do if you wish, but the real beauty of the area is the countryside and the scattering of small villages wherever you go....Just relax!

Reviews
A very peaceful week with visits from wild boar, deer,
foxes and a couple of cats. The house is well equipped especially
the kitchen. The covered outdoor room on the first floor was a
great place to shelter from the hot sun or the thunderstorms (which
were great to watch rolling in over the mountains). Lots of places
to visit nearby (by car) but we mainly spent the time reading and
cooling off in the lovely pool. Definitely recommend the house and
local area.
Arrival date: 24 June 2024
It was a wonderful stay. the house is well kept, the pool big and cleaned every day, big garden perfect for playing. very silent and the view into the mountains is magnificient. Perfect stay for people who love hiking and nature. Loretta and Renzo are perfect hosts. But you need your time to come to historic sites and cities.

Wonderful!

We enjoyed a wonderful two weeks with our two adult children. The setting is spectacular and Renzo and Loretta were lovely hosts, very discreet but friendly and helpful. Renzo keeps the beautiful pool and gardens immaculate with a daily early visit. There was a generous supply of towels and everything was homely, very clean and tidy. There were plenty of sun loungers with cushions and parasols and loads of shady spots around the garden and under the pergola. We made use of the various outside areas and the pizza oven but the elevated eating area was out favourite with light breezes and stunning views. We made regular trips into the welcoming village, a short but steep walk. It was very safe, our adult children would head into the village for morning coffee or in the evening to the pizzeria or sports bar. Prices in the village were exceptional compared to the tourist spots. We were able to visit Pisa, Lucca and Florence. A car is essential as the setting is rural but the views from the villa are breathtaking. We spent evenings watching fireflies in the garden, watching spectacular electric storms, enjoying eagles soaring and listening to cuckoos in the wood. All the family returned home rested and we would all love to use this wonderful property again.

Loretta and her husband have taken care of the coziness and comfort of this beautiful house in the heart of Garfagnana. The bedrooms remain cool because on the ground floor, each has its own bathroom and toilet. The kitchen is well equipped and we have access to the wood-supplied barbecue and pizza oven. The swimming pool and the garden are maintained daily for maximum enjoyment. The patio is perfect for having lunch al fresco. Kindness and discretion as a bonus. Thank you both very much for a wonderful stay!
