The Tuscany / Lucca Province region


The Tuscan Region of Italy is well known for its warm balmy summers, beautiful countryside, rolling hills, mouth - watering food, and of course its towns and villages, rich with mediaeval architecture…
The Garfagnana /Media Valle region of Tuscany, is situated away from the milling crowds that can often be found at the most famous Tuscan locations and is totally unspoilt, remaining untouched by tourism.
The scenery is spectacular, green and mountainous with views of both the Apuane and Appenine mountains at every turn…And, due to the altitude whilst the weather can be very hot, it is always pleasantly cool for sleeping…
The food is usually home made, using home grown produce, and is typically simple and extremely tasty. Prices here remain very reasonable due to the fact that food is prepared with the locals, and not tourists in mind…The local wine is cheap and surprisingly drinkable!
The pace of life is slow and peaceful – spend your days enjoying secluded picnics, swimming in rivers, or watching locals play bocce or ‘cheese throwing’. Visit hundreds of ancient hill top villages, or relax at home basking in stunning scenery.
For ‘townie’ days, visit the mediaeval towns of Barga, Lucca, Castelnuovo, with Pisa and Florence within easy reach too…

The property is situated between a half hour drive from the walled mediaeval city of Lucca;1 hr from Pisa, and 90 mins from Florence. Barga is 30 minutes away and Montecatini 50 mins. The coast is a 55 min drive.

This villa is beautiful in a fabulous location. The villa was spotless on our arrival and very comfortably furnished with every possible piece of equipment you would need on holiday - although we did not find the BBQ. The owners, who are extremely welcoming and friendly, only speak Italian and as we don't it was a shame we were unable to talk with them. However on our arrival their son who does speak very good English was on hand to welcome us and explain how everything worked and he returned the day we left to bid us farewell and make sure that everything had been satisfactory during our stay. The Cassellis were very anxious to ensure that we had everything we needed and had provided a large selection of welcome gifts including wine, water, milk, honey, fruit and bread. The pool was lovely although a little cool as we visited at the beginning of June. There is a lot to do and see in the area with something for everyone from getting spa treatments (Bagni di Lucca), visiting historic sites (Lucca, Pisa, Bagni di Lucca, and numerous hill top villages), beautiful countryside for walking in, to eating wonderful local food. The coast is within easy reach with the elegant resorts of Viareggio and Forte dei Marmi or the ski resort of Abetone. Our tip: On arrival we visited the Tourist Office in Bagni di Lucca where the lady we spoke to was very knowledgable and enthusiastic about the town and gave us all the relevant information to enable us to make the most of the day we spent exploring Bagni di Lucca.

Guestbook for Bebbanaio
HI Lorraine , I wanted to drop you a line to say thanks so much for all your help with our booking . We had a fabulous time and the villa surpassed our expectations . It was in a superb location ( the hill drive up to it can be a little hairy sometimes! ) , stunning views , spacious , well equipped and spotlessly clean .
The owners , Francesco and Nora were extremely charming and helpful - calling a doctor frind of theirs when our daughter felt unwell (she was fine ).
Although we spoke no italian , a situation which I will remedy. All our queries have been answered promptly and efficiently by you so again thank you so much - we will be booking again ! Taylor
We would like to express our gratitude to Mr. and Mrs. Caselli for the way they received us, the way they helped us when necessary and the way they have taken care of the place during our stay.
The pool was perfect (and very well kept clean every day), the linen was changed and the house was cleaned on Saturday, we really enjoyed our holiday.
It wasn't cheap, but in the end it was well worth the money.
Also we would like to mention the fact that the information you provided on your Internetsite and in your mails was really 100% reliable.
We will certainly recommend your organisation to friends and relatives. Weltons
