About this group of co-located holiday homes
Situated high in Garfagnana, on the outskirts of the village of Caprignana, with dramatic mountain views, Caprignana, is a very sympathetically restored quality Country House and large private pool.
The spacious, light and airy property is actually split into two 3 bedroom apartments, giving a large group privacy from each other, but with plenty of room to all eat together both inside and out.
The house has a real traditional feel, with all modern comforts. There are plenty of beamed ceilings, traditional style flooring in some rooms, and quality solid wood floors in the ‘night zones’. Much of the furniture is hand made, as are the kitchens, and the chestnut wood windows…
Finished to a high standard, there are 6 large bedrooms in total, 2 of which lead out onto a terrace with stunning mountain and garden views.
There are 4 bathrooms, two of which are en suite shower rooms, whilst there are 2 luxury family bathrooms, with shower cubicles and separate bathtubs.
For daytime living there are two good quality open plan living/kitchen/diners, giving plenty of space to gather together. There is also a large uncovered dining terrace overlooking the garden (with table, chairs and umbrella), and a covered loggia with garden, pool and mountain views, for shaded dining and relaxing .
Each kitchen is equipped with oven, 5 ring hob, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and microwave, and there are 2 flat screen SAT TV’s, DVD players and CD’s.
Outside, as well as the terraces there is a brand new infinity style pool 6M x 12M plus Roman steps, and decked sunbathing area. Enclosed garden, plenty of parking, BBQ & wood oven and totally stunning views!

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 region of Tuscany, often known as its ‘Green Lung’ 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…

Situated in an edge of village location, the property is within easy walking distance of a bar (which will provide basic snacks too) and little grocers shop. Beside the bar is the village. The property is only a few minutes drive from the Orecchiella National Park, ideal for walking and close to the fortress of Verrucole, with Orzaglia, the village where locals still do 'cheese rolling' at weekends within walking distance. There are plenty of hilltop villages, walking and picnicking opportunities in the immediate vicinity, but other distances are:
Market town of Castelnuovo 25 minutes
Mediaeval town of Barga 40 minutes
Lucca, 90 minutes
Pisa 120 minutes
Florence 2 hrs 25 minutes

Guestbook for Caprignana
Dear Fabrizo,
We just wanted to say a big thank you for all your help to us on our recent holiday. We are very appreciative that you gave up your sunday morning to take us up to Caprigianna. It truly was a beautiful place and once we learnt how to drive like the natives on those hair pin bends we grew to love it!!
We would also like you to say a big thank you to the lovely owners who were so helpful and kind to us during our stay. The lady of the house came one morning with a beautiful home made cake! We truly wish them all their best in their new rental venture.
As we sit in rainy Ireland today our thoughts turn to sunny climes and hopefully we will be back next summer!
All that remains is to wish you all the best for the rest of the summer season and again to say a big thank you.
Gould Summer 2010
