About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Private pool, WIFI, walking distance facilities. Electric car charging point

Casa Eli, is beautifully situated in large, flat grounds, with a river boundary at the bottom which you can cross via a little bridge to reach the village. Ideal for a quick morning walk to get bread! The location feels like and adventure to children, crossing the home made bridges over the stream/river.

This well maintained and well loved property is light, airy and spacious with 3 good sized bedrooms (one with 4 poster bed, one double and one twin), 2 bathrooms (one with hydromassage and turkish steam shower, and another with corner bath, double basins and separate shower), fully equipped kitchen diner, utility room, and living room with comfy seating, large sofa bed and fireplace.
Beamed ceilings and traditional style flooring feature throughout the upstairs, along with solid chestnut windows and doors.

Insect screens are fitted throughout the property.

Free Wifi

Outside there are two covered terraces spanning two side of the house. These terraces are framed with arches - a perfect place for eating and relaxing al fresco.

The grounds:
The extensive gated grounds have lots of flat open space - ideal for children's ball games.
The swimming pool is 8M x 4M plus Roman Steps
There is plenty of room for exploring and one can walk cross country into the village of Pieve Fosciana via an enchanting 10 minute woodland walk, crossing the stream on handmade bridges.
There is a good sized bbq and an outdoor wood oven for experimenting with making bread and pizzas.
Garden house - this gives an option for indoor dining close to the BBQ and wood oven if required, and also provides a relaxing area away from the group if you wish to sit and read inside, but overlooking the garden.
The grounds are bordered by a stream
Plenty of parking.


Electric Car Charging Point - Payment on use, €15 per full charge, payable in cash to owner.



A little about the area:
Situated in extensive grounds, bordered by a stream at the bottom, with views of open countryside and mountains beyond, this is a peaceful retreat in a unique location.

Despite the peace and privacy the site is less than a 10 minute walk cross country and across the streams, to the village of Pieve Fosciana with the following facilities:

Two restaurants - one of which is regarded to be the best in the area, but very well priced!
Bars
Shops, including a delicatessen selling scrumptious home made Italian hot food to take away - with a menu that is changed daily
Supermarket
Banks
The walk can only be undertaken during the day. The drive is less than 5 minutes.
The market town of Castelnuovo di Garfagnana is only a 5 minute drive away too, with its bars, restaurants, shops, famous Thursday morning market, and train station for easy exploring.

Lucca is less than a one hour drive away, the beautiful mediaeval town of Barga is 20 minutes, Florence 90 minutes, Pisa 1 hr 15 minutes.

This property is well located for both relaxing and exploring, with the rare benefit of being within walking distance of a restaurant...
