This enormous 5 bedroom property character property , split between a 4 bedroom villa and an annexe all included in the price, boasts the most stupendous mountain views, putting guests immediately at peace! Perfectly situated in the heart of the gentle Lunigiana countryside, yet within walking distance of bar, restaurant and shop this villa is also less than an hour from the beach and La Spezia too for exploring the stunning cinque terre. This vast newly refurbished villa with annexe has been updated with love and care and provides unique accommodation with a mixture of the very traditional along with modern must haves, and the view from the brand new pool really makes this the place to be!

Enjoy this unique experience!
A little about the area: Please note that automated distance information can be misleading in rural areas. Although some places may appear close “as the crow flies,” walking routes are often impractical.
Situated in the depths of the Lunigiana countryside, on the northern Tip of Tuscany , yet within walking distance of a bar, restaurant and shop. The closest train station is less than 1.5km away, aiding easy exploration of Lucca, the market town of Castelnuovo, Pisa and Florence (with a change at Lucca). It is also possible to take the train to the Cinque Terre which is a big bonus! The market town of Aulla is 20 mins by car, beautiful Fivizzano under 20 mins and under1 hour to the beaches. This villa gives a unique opportunity to explore the totally unspoilt and gentler area at the tip of Tuscany, (Lunignana) but since it is only 20 minutes from the motorway, then the usual sights are in fact easier to visit than from many properties further south. Ideal also for cheaper flights from Genoa/Parma although the property is equidistant from Genoa and Pisa airports. The climate is mild, with olive trees and vines, making for relaxing drives. Spend your days sightseeing, hiking straight from the door, or relaxing at that amazing pool. Don't forget to stargaze after dining al fresco as this is a perfect spot for shooting stars! Or in the Spring dine outside whilst watching the twinkles from the fireflies...

The most immediately striking thing about the property is the garden - spectacular views of the mountains and a large and stylish swimming pool. But the house is also great, with large rooms and, a well-equipped kitchen. Stefano was a helpful, responsive and friendly host.
Our stay could not have been any better! Our hosts, Marco and Stephanie went above and beyond for our group. The location is perfect, the views are amazing and the villa itself is beautiful! We would definitely recommend this location to other family and friends.
Friendly and helpful owners and beautiful spot with amazing views. Great pool although not the jacuzzi advertised. Loads of parking although the approach took a bit of getting used to! Proper local bar and restaurant in the village and great walking for the more adventurous of our group. We really unwound and were sad to leave.
We read all the reviews before booking but were astonished that the reality far exceeded our high hopes. It was the most beautiful location, the stunning backdrop of the mountains made time in the gardens magical. Communication prior to our trip was extremely quick, helpful and courteous. On arrival we were met by Stefano who checked us into the property, showed us around and made us feel very settled. He was also extremely helpful throughout our stay making himself available to answer many questions and give recommendations for days out. It was a little slice of tranquility that we were sad to leave, and would recommend highly this property for both young and old, being very well equipped for both. 5*
We loved our experience at La Palazzo. We have had many vacation rentals over the years and this stood out as one of best. The house is in a beautiful, peaceful location. Marco and the other property managers were helpful and gave us wonderful suggestions for restaurants, shops and sites to visit. The grounds and house were beautifully tended and the pool was perfect. We were two families with plenty of space to roam. We loved our stay and would highly recommend it.
Marco est un hote tres disponible et super gentil. La maison est parfaite, fraiche en plein été, spacieuse, l'extérieur est agreable, Tout est prevu pour la "Dolce Vita"
Maison familiale accueillante avec un panorama fantastique
Belle propriété qui permet la détente et le repos. Tennis de table, piscine et trampoline permet aux enfants de s’amuser dans un cadre exceptionnel. L’accueil de Marco est exceptionnel et prévenant. A recommander sans réserve.
Die Residenza il Palazzo dal 1894 liegt abseits vom Dorf und ist umrahmt von alten Bäumen. Ein stattliches, renoviertes Haus. Die liebevoll eingerichteten und großzügigen Zimmer sind sehr einladend.
Auch das Nebengebäude mit Bad, Küche und großen Fenstern wurde sehr schön renoviert und eingerichtet.
Wir haben uns sofort wohl gefühlt.
Das Highlight für uns aber war der Pool mit der großen Wiese und der herrlichen Aussicht.
Fantastisch!
Zwar nicht so wichtig, aber selbst der Parkbereich mit den vielen Olivenbäumen ist schön. Von da aus führt ein Laubengang zum Haus. Die Koffer können direkt vor dem Haus ausgeladen werden.
Der sehr freundliche Vermieter war immer erreichbar und der Kontakt war problemlos.
Zu empfehlen ist auch der Pizzaabend. Die verschiedenen Pizzen, die direkt vor Ort im Steinofen gebacken werden, waren außerordentlich gut. Vielen Dank an die beiden „Bäcker“, vor allem auch für die liebe Geburtstagsüberraschung.
Insgesamt wurden unsere Erwartungen übertroffen.
Das Haus, der Pool und insgesamt der ganze Außenbereich ist ein Traum. Die Kommunikation mit Marcus war super und unkompliziert. Es hat uns an nichts gefehlt.
Een rustige plek te midden van diverse kleine dorpjes. De woning en bijwoning zijn ruim en voorzien van alle gemakken. Het zwembad en de omliggende tuin is ruim en heerlijk. De woning ligt hoog in de bergen, de route ernaar toe is smal, heuvelachtig en niet altijd even makkelijk te bereiden. Hou hier rekening mee. Verder een top woning met de mogelijkheid om veel van de omgeving te verkennen. En een dik compliment voor het ontvangst en de vraagbaak Elettra!
Tip: bezoek aan de stad Lucca, La Spezzia, Equi Terme (grot bezoek) en Lago di Gramolazzo. Verder een concertavond bij Agriturismo Tripala ook doen!
E' stato un soggiorno meraviglioso, la villa con il suo fascino di inizio '900, il grande parco con una splendida piscina, il paesaggio affascinante. I nostri 6 ragazzi sono rimasti entusiasti della vacanza, noi adulti abbiamo potuto vivere un'esperienza di grande emozione nella fantastica solitudine della location. Finalmente una vacanza tutti insieme senza troppe distrazioni.
