A little about the area:
Perfectly situated in a very tranquil and private spot just a short walk from the tiny village which has no facilities.. Despite the tranquil very rural environment, right on the Northern Tip of Tuscany, this villa is ideally located for exploring since relatively speaking it is not far from the motorway network. This is a major advantage over many of the Nothern Tuscan locations.
There are plenty of little restaurants easily reachable by car, and the thriving village of Fivvizano is only a 10 minute drive which also has a supermarket .
In August there will be lots of small village festas in the local surrounding villages, and you can eat at these which are always good fun, and a taste of how the Italians live! The closest larger town is Aulla with its shops, restaurants, supermarkets and weekly market is a 25 minute drive.
