About the home

As featured on TV's Channel 4's The Great Italian Escape. Our TV Stars Dave (the rabbit) and the girls (hens), gifts from Richard and Sarah, await you visiting them. (No autographs given).

We are situated in the foothills of the Tuscan Mountain range. Villages that can be seen from our property include: Pietrabuona, Vellano and Aramo. The farmhouse and olive grove are surrounded by 12 acres of Chestnut Woods.
Towns nearby include the "City of flowers" (Pescia) at 8 minutes drive, Lucca is an ancient walled town only 18km away, and the coastal town Viareggio is 45km away. All these towns have their own characters and are well worth a visit.

Abetone the skiing resort is 60 km away and is lovely and cool in the summer. You can also visit caves, vineyards, and the town of Collodi which is the birth town of the author Carlo Lorenzin (creator of Pinocchio), with its own Parc, Butterfly Farm and historic early 1600s villa and garden.

Florence 56km and Pisa 36km are both about 40 minutes drive away, or go by train from Pescia. Public transport is cheap, punctual and clean.

Any one village will have a pizza evening or some form of event, every weekend. Lots of restaurants to choose from, food is excellent, Italians take great pride in their food and wine.

The Tuscany / Pistoia Province region

With so many ancient and historical cities, towns and villages to see, we are ideally situated to take advantage of the auto routes (Toll roads) and the meandering roads. Tuscany with its art, history, music, nature and folklore is a great place to visit. You can see sea, mountains and the countryside with its mixture of olive groves, wineries (with tasting available), mouthwatering ice cream parlours, and superb food.

Then there is the chance to go hiking, walking, horse riding, cycling, visit the renowned golf course at Montecatini, or try their spa or just relaxing.

The Pescia area

The property is in the region called Svizzera Pesciatina (Pescia little Switzerland). There are so many villages to explore. Pietrabuona has a paper museum, as well as some interesting castle remains, and is a quaint village with Post Office, restaurants, butchers, grocers and bakery, which also provide take away dishes.

Pescia is our local town. It is a medieval city only 8 minutes from Pietrabuona. Pescia has lovely Piazza Mazzini, the main square, which hosts the Saturday market. Pescia is delightful with its beautiful buildings and little winding back streets and its many beautiful churches and the imposing Cathedral. The little river “Pescia” running through makes this a very pretty market town. From here there are frequent buses and trains to all major places of interest .

Palio Citta di Pescia (Prize of Pescia) is a fair that takes place from Sunday 29th August to Sunday 6th September. On the last day of the fair there is an archery competition between the town's four quarters. There is also a medieval theme and parade which includes flag throwing, drumming and dressing in medieval costumes and which winds its way through the town and finishes in the main Piazza.

There is always something going on in the area.
