A gorgeously remote Tuscan farmhouse with stunning views of the Apuan Alps, a dreamy saltwater pool and relaxing deck for admiring it all

A thoroughly happy and authentic home, criss-crossed by ancient beams, and with a super sitting room for reading quietly or watching a DVD – find an L-shaped sofa and an open fire for cooler days. Antique furniture, tiled floors and colour from the odd cushion or fabric completes the 'woodcutter's cottage' feel.

The kitchen area is cosy, but has everything you need to cook and feed eight – everything is on one level so nobody will feel isolated. You're left local cakes and some bottles of regional wine, there are also basics for cooking in the cupboards. Serena can organise an initial shop with a bit of notice, as well as spa treatments in Barga, and guided hiking tours.

You'll sleep peacefully – four bedrooms in the main house (two doubles, two twins) and a double in the converted 'metato' next door share neat-as-a-pin bathrooms. Mostly you'll be outside, the views from here are absolutely jaw-dropping.

Local points of interest from Andy Price:

Punti d'interesse locali da
Andy Price:

  • The nearest town is Barga, a 15-minute drive away. It is the quintessential Tuscan hilltop town, full of beautiful architecture and wonderful restaurants and shops.
  • An hour away is the provincial capital, Lucca, renowned for its medieval walls and towers. The perfect place to explore.
  • The enduring wonder of Pisa and Florence are both within two hours by car or train.
  • The coast at Viareggio or the beach at Marina di Vecchiano are both the ideal spot to laze by the sea.
