LUNIGIANA ~ Land of the Moon A Magnificent 15th Century house in a dramatic setting with pool and flexible accommodation. The Property This ancient and beautiful ‘casa grande’ has been completely restored to provide superb self-catering holiday accommodation for 2 - 8 people. Equipped and appointed to the highest standards, the house offers an exclusive atmosphere to which you can escape. Should you require it, there is also a delightful two person, self-contained hideaway apartment nestled into the side of the hill beneath the main house. Location Over looking the National Park, the house is situated in the sunny foothills of the Apuan Alps and verdant hills. Both the main house and the apartment benefit from spectacular views that change in hue and contrast from day to day. Approached by a gravel road suitable for motor vehicles, the house sits perched at the top of the tiny village of Folegnano, which is just minutes away from the small town of Gragnola with its Castle, festivals, events, railway station, shops, restaurants and bars. When it is time to venture out you’ll find wonderful walks at the front door and a wide choice of restaurants within the locality. The coast and its dramatic beaches are within easy reach and pony trekking can be arranged if you’re feeling adventurous. Local wine, oil and vegetables are all available in Gragnola only 5 minutes away. If you can’t bear to be away from the pool for any longer than necessary, there is a small shop at the end of the lane where fresh bread and delicious lunch time treats can be found to keep you going until dinner.
