This property is available all year but it can be very cold in the winter. A log fire, back boiler and radiators are fitted. The fire heats up the water for the radiators so this heating system is not instant.

Review Submitted: June 21, 2008, Date of stay: June, 2008
Location - small hilltop hamlet. great views, v peaceful. Garfagnana is lovely area for nature lovers, walkers etc - very hilly, wooded, and flowers etc. Car essential at this property - shops /facilities down in valley (15 min drive). Local roads are narrow and twisting but fine if drive cautiously. Reasonably quick roads once down in valley bottom but most of our trips were to various places within the national park. Furthest we ventured outside the park was to Lucca - think took about an hour. We thought the attractions of the coast and florence were too far to drive - but this will depend on how much you want to see them of course.
Property accessed by short steepish path up from village square/ car park and is effectively a first floor apartment. Reasonably spacious - would accomodate 5 people comfortably. Has private sun terrace.
Main issue when we were there was lack of heating available in the property. This was more pronounced because although we went in early June the weather was cool with sunshine and showers (we had rain everyday at some time usually as heavy showers). Accepting that this may have been unseasonable, if the fire/ central heating isn't available for use theres a need for some other heating source - fan heater etc.
We booked relatively late but all arrangements sorted quickly and efficiently.
Overall we enjoyed.
Owner's response:
