Further details for this holiday apartment rental in Fosciandora, Italy

The Site: This site of vineyards & olive trees is set in a magnificent position with stunning views at every turn - hill top villages, the river & valley below, mountains, fields. Each apartment has a private eating area & BBQ for privacy. The pool (12M x 5 M with internal seating steps) with its many sunbeds is situated above the house, and there is also a large flat open grass area surrounded by mountains ideal for picnics or for playing outdoor games....Wildlife abounds - birds of prey, deer, pheasant etc. In the Spring, watch the fireflies dancing in the dark.... We are available for anything you may need - we live up the hill.

Other services: We can arrange to get bread for you in the mornings. We also have the privileged access to a local wood burning oven chef, who can come and make you home made pizzas in the outdoor oven and other traditional local dishes cooked in the wood oven too. He will also prepare home made pasta dishes and so forth but will need temporary access to your kitchen to do so. A really fun evening, with no need to drive! Or, why not try a meal by a Cordon Bleu trained cook? With notice we can arrange for food to be brought from local restaurant too.

Location: The site is beautifully located in the hills, with the closest villages 1km and 1.5km respectively. A 5 minute drive will take you to a bar/shop/pharmacy/post office etc. Claudio at our closest restaurant can arrange for food to be brought up for you too! For a good choice of restaurants, Castelnuovo with its many shops, bars, restaurants, and famous Thursday morning market is a 15 minute drive, and the medieval market town of Barga is 20 mins or so away, again with a good choice of restaurants and bars.

A Delightful Tuscan Retreat

Daza inverness Scotland
Review Submitted: August 19, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
We arrived on a beautiful June evening all 11 of us! 4 exciteable teenagers were in the large secluded pool within minutes.The clean well-arranged villas impressed us as soon as we opened the door All the mod cons yet not lacking in Tuscan character. Although the owner's property lies a way up the hill, your not overlooked as fruit trees and vines provide much seclusion.We cannot emphasize the vista surrounding you enough.It's stunning!The owner was very helpful friendly and relaxed,he recommended local restaurants that were superb for families.There are plenty of activities within 30 mins of villa but I'll guarantee most of your holiday will be spent around this delightful Tuscan retreat.We'll definitely be back!

Excellent holiday property

Craft Fairy Kent , England
Review Submitted: August 19, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
Fabrizio and Lorraine made us feel very welcome right from the start of our holiday.We found the directions very easy to follow, after a very long hot car journey.
The house was more than we could have wished for, exactly as in the description, spotlessly clean ,cool and plenty of room for all of us. Everything we needed was there. Especially the fabulous pool.
The younger adults and teenagers especially enjoyed the adventure park in San Romano di Garfagnana and we all enjoyed several visits to Lucca. Cycling around the walls was sightseeing with a difference!
We would recommend a stay at this exceptional property.
