A little about the area

This property is situated in the depths of the Garfagnana in a mountain location. The views really are un-rivalled from this place, and one feels on is literally on 'top of the world'!

This is a location that just feels romantic...

There is a large flat garden with lots of room for children to run around in the cool mountain air.

However hot the daytime is, the evenings are wonderfully cool for sleeping due to the altitude.

Despite the remote location, the village of Carregine is 6km away and here you will find a couple of restaurants, bars and basic shops. There are also 3 restaurants within say 4km of the house.

The closest village of Metello often has small festas, either roasting the 'Porchetta' or Pizza evenings.

The area even has some skiing in the Winter and there is an alpine feel to some of the area.. Ideal for walkers!

The local market town of Castelnuovo, with all facilities and famous for its Thursday morning market is a 20 min drive. This town is a lively little town and also boasts its own Fortress.

For days out, why not visit Barga, a beautiful mediaeval town with cobbled streets, lots of quality restaurants, lovely architecture, great views, art galleries and a cathedral. Just a 40 min drive.

The Province City of Lucca is 1 hr 20 min away and is a wonderful day out. Here one can cycle around the fully intact mediaeval walls, meander around the narrow streets, visit some of the 100 churches, climb some towers, eat ice cream in the many piazzas, take in some opera, shop till you drop and then sleep under the trees in the wall 'park areas'! Or, just enjoy a leisurely drink and people watch for the afternoon....

Further afield there is Pisa, 1 hr 40 mins or Florence, say 2 hrs.

There are so many options more locally:

The Grotta del Vento - the famous Wind Caves

Swimming in the river

Visiting the ancient fortress of Verrucole

Visiting the Protected National Parks

Visiting Marble Quarries where the world famous Carrara Marble is found.

The list is endless if one wishes to explore, but it is difficult to want to leave this lovely house and its environs since it really is a little piece of paradise!
During your stay at this cottage, you're just a quick walk from Apuan Alps. An outdoor pool is available. A private pool and a kitchen are available in the cottage.
  • The cottage offers a private pool, a kitchen, and a washing machine
  • Take a swim in the outdoor pool
  • Steps from Apuan Alps and 10 minutes by car from Vagli Lake
This cottage offers its guests an outdoor pool, barbecue grills, and a garden. The front desk is open around the clock.

This Castelnuovo di Garfagnana cottage is smoke free.

Wij hebben een aangenaam verblijf gehad in het huis met idyllisch uitzicht! Het huisje was zeer proper, de check-in verliep vlot! Onze hond heeft zeer erg van de tuin kunnen genieten! Jammer genoeg was het weer wat wisselvallig (we weten dat we dit kunnen verwachten in de bergen) waardoor we het zwembad slechts 2 van de 6 dagen hebben kunnen gebruiken aangezien dit niet verwarmd is. In de omschrijving staat dat het huisje privé is maar dat is niet helemaal zo. Vlak naast het huis ligt er een groter vakantiehuis voor 6/7 personen. De tuinen grenzen aan elkaar. Vanaf het zwembad heb je een inkijk naar de andere tuin dus houd er rekening mee dat je niet helemaal alleen bent. Indien je rustige 'buren' hebt is dit helemaal ok maar ik kan me voorstellen dat, indien er een grote groep jongeren of mensen met kinderen het huis ernaast huren dat de rust wel heel wat minder is. Volgens de omschrijving verwachten huurders dit uiteraard niet... Een minpuntje voor mensen met een hond: er is een klein stukje van de omheining naast het zwembad dat niet dicht is. De hond kan er dus gemakkelijk door ontsnappen naar de tuin van de buren. We hebben helaas meermaals onze hond moeten halen hierdoor. Misschien een tip voor de verhuurder om dit verder te omheinen.

WOW!! What a beautiful corner of the world!
We absolutely loved our stay. This grey stone cottage high in the mountains was exactly what we were hoping for and much more. The views of the mountains were simply breathtaking. Coffee at the infinity pool in the morning was an awesome way to start the day. Drinking a bottle of Italian wine in the late afternoon was even nicer. The cottage had everything we needed. The kitchen was fully equipped. In fact, we ate dinner at home many nights. We also dined in great restaurants all over the region. We we made a warm fire every night. We went on day trips to Florence and two wineries. We visited nearby villages and more. Our hosts were perfect. They made sure we were happy and everything was the way we wanted. All in all, you can’t go wrong with this wonderful home away from home in a special and beautiful corner of the world. We will never forget our stay.

Relax in Paradise
My wife & I stayed at Pian Di Luca for 4 nights but wish it could have been longer. We were on a longer trip so needed somewhere quiet & comfortable to relax & rejuvenate. Pian Di Luca was perfect for our needs. what we wanted. The cottage was clean, comfortable & had everything we needed. The outdoor space and in particular the pool with a view was spectacular. We would definitely return next time we are in the area.

Wonderful property in gorgeous surroundings. Very tranquil and peaceful, with spectacular views.
Really lovely property, very beautiful. We loved the infinity pool. Only downside was the weather - no-one's fault! We had sun for the first few days, but as it is mountainous, the rest of the week was cold and rainy (colder than at home - UK!), so unfortunately we couldn't use the pool much. We should have taken waterproofs! That said, the villa was very well equipped and we found a fantastic restaurant up the road - La Baglia. 6 bottles of gorgeous wine on arrival and delicious home grown tomatoes. The owner was extremely responsive when we couldn't get the gas working and it was dealt with very efficiently. We loved it - thank you. :-)

Fabulous holiday
We have just returned from a wonderful stay here at this lovely cottage. Fabulous location with breathtaking views. The house has everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. We used the pizza oven and barbecue many times. The owner and his lovely daughter came to greet us on arrival with gifts of wine from his vineyard and vegetables from her garden (best tomatoes we've ever tasted anywhere). Would recommend.

Schönes, ruhiges, kleines Steinhaus mit eigenem Infinitypool und großen umzäunten Grundstück.
Wir haben dort unsere Flitterwochen verbracht und haben die Stille und das Panorama sehr genossen. Der Pool mit dem grandiosen Ausblick ist einfach kaum mit Worten zu beschreiben. Die Vermieter sind sehr gastfreundlich und hilfsbereit und man bekommt das ein oder andere Präsent. Interessenten sollten sich aber darüber im Klaren sein, dass weder eine Spülmaschine noch ein Staubsauger vorhanden ist. Dafür entschädigt aber bei kühlen Wetter der Kamin außerordentlich. Brennholz für den Kamin und dem Pizzaofen, wird auf Wunsch gratis geliefert. Für jemand, der entschleunigt werden will, ist dieses Anwesen sehr zu empfehlen.

Total Privat?
Der Pool ist wirklich Traumhaft. Leider trifft total privat und ruhig nicht zu. Nebenan gab es ein grösseres haus mit etwa 7 personen und ein baby. Auf der anderen Seite hat einer mit einer motorsäge gearbeitet. Leider gab es auch kein holz für den pizza ofen oder für den grill.

Grandiose Aussicht
Das Ferienhaus ist genauso wie auf den Bildern. Die Aussicht am Pool ist fantastisch. Das Haus hat ein großes eingezäuntes Gelände auf dem sich die Kinder und der Hund sehr wohl gefühlt haben. Es liegt abgeschieden in einem winzigen Ort und man kann die Ruhe genießen. Da es relativ hoch liegt sind die Sommernächte angenehm kühl und man wird kaum von Mücken gestört. In der Umgebung gibt es viele Spazier- und Wandermöglichkeiten, genauso wie viele kleine Dörfer genauso wie man sie sich in der Toskana vorstellt. Es gibt einen Pizzaofen den man auf jeden Fall ausprobieren sollte. Der Kontakt zu den Besitzern und der Agentur lief Reibungslos und war sehr freundlich. Wir würden auf jeden Fall noch einmal hinfahren.

Ein zauberhafter Ort!!
Wir haben eine wirklich großartige Woche in Pian Di Luca verbracht. Empfangen wurden wir mit 6 Flaschen Wein der sehr freundlichen Besitzer. Die Bilder im Internet täuschen nicht, es ist einfach traumhaft schön. Die Aussicht, der Pool und der große Garten sind wundervoll. Wir haben den Pizzaofen und den Grill ausgiebig genutzt. Kleine Anmerkung, ein Geschirrspüler ist nicht vorhanden, hat uns aber überhaupt nicht gestört. Es gab genug Utensilien für die Küche und alles war sehr sauber. Außerdem standen Spülmittel, Lappen, Schwamm, Waschmittel, Mülltüten, Geschirrhandtücher, Gewürze etc bereit. Der Kontakt über die Agentur Tuscan Retreats war sehr freundlich und hilfreich (extra Informationsmaterial! ). Es gibt noch ein größeres Haus nebenan, welches ebenfalls vermietet wird. Da beide Grundstücke sehr groß sind, stört das überhaupt nicht. Man war auf dem Grundstück ganz alleine für sich. Wer einen erholsamen Urlaub in spektakulärer Lage sucht, ist hier genau richtig. Kinder können sich im Garten und im Pool austoben, die Eltern entspannen. Empfehlen können wir einen Ausflug nach Pisa, eine wunderschöne Stadt. Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder, vielen Dank für alles!!
