Historic refurbished village homes in Hidden Tuscany
Having long been lovers of Italy we explored the North, seeking a region that was undiscovered by tourists, yet alive, and truly Italian. In Lunigiana we found the 'Hidden Tuscany', lying between the Apuane Alps and the Appennines, an unspoilt area that has retained the real Italian atmosphere. In Gassano and Rometta we discovered authentic historic Italian villages, vibrant and occupied by Italians of all ages, yet with easy access to modern facilities, motorways, airports, and public transport; around 1/2 hour from the coast and 1 hour from the airports at Genoa and Pisa. Gassano is a perched village, typical of the Maritime Alps whilst Rometta lays in a valley. Gassano is mainly pedestrianised with narrow twisting lanes on different levels and interlinking arched passages, is accessed from either end and Casa Fina is at the western end of the village. Casa Fina and Casa Canoa Studio can provide accommodation for 2,4 or 6 guest on weekly terms as low as £80 per person per week.

A peaceful retreat in Tuscany
allan550, Canberra, Australia
Review Submitted: August 26, 2008, Date of stay: August, 2008
This is a well maintained property in a medieval village with stupendous views from the balcony overlooking the mountains - you can spend hours in peaceful meditation looking at the views. Everything in the property was clean and in good working order and we encoutered no problems. There are few tourists in the neighbourhood so some effort is required to suss out the places that you think are worth visiting. The locals are very friendly and helpful and a visit to the village pub is strongly recommended - helps if you speak some Italian! - but they sell excellent local wine. The shop keepers were also obliging and helpful. The owners guide to reaching the village and apartment was comprehensive and accurate as well as an outline of the restaurants and some tourist attractions. Getting out of Pisa airport is a little harder. A visit to Lucca (going over the mountains) is well worthwhile as is visiting the marble quarries at Carrara. Would strongly recommend this property and location - real Tuscany!
