About this farm stay rental
Cigiano di Sotto is a good-value, rustic Tuscan farmhouse offering two apartments rented together exclusively, ideal for families or groups travelling together. The property sleeps up to 12 guests, has a large private swimming pool, and is within easy walking distance of the medieval village of Castiglione di Garfagnana, with restaurants, cafés, shops, and a weekly market.
Set on a working farm in the Garfagnana countryside, the location is quiet and peaceful, but not isolated. You get the space and views of rural Tuscany, with village life just a short walk away.
The farmhouse is divided into two separate three-bedroom apartments, each with:
- 2 double bedrooms
- 1 twin bedroom
- A modern bathroom
- Open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area, fully equipped for self-catering
The apartments are simple and practical, making this an excellent choice for guests looking for authentic Tuscany at a sensible price.
Outside, there is a large courtyard with barbecue facilities and plenty of space for eating outdoors. A shaded dining area looks out towards the surrounding mountains. The private swimming pool (14m x 5m) has a wide sun terrace and open views towards the Apuan Alps.
Please note: the pool is located approximately 30 metres from the apartments, positioned to the side of the main farmhouse rather than directly beside them.
The owner, Sergio, and his family live and work on the farm and are nearby if needed, while still respecting guests’ privacy.

- Space for larger groups

8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jun 2025
Me and my family had a really great time here, really nice house with beautiful views and walking distance to wonderful medieval village. Delicious restaurants close by. Arianna and Sergio are warm and caring hosts. When we arrived and found out that the pool was closed we were so disappointed, and then they bought a small pool for the children, very kind Note that their big pool isn’t open until June. The trafficked road is quite close, and there are some unprojected height differences without fence (if travelling with small children). Overall a lovely place in the Toscana paradise🤩
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Oct 2024
The location was perfect. We fell in love with Castiglione de Garfagnana and the view from our accommodation was spectacular. We also loved the sounds of the church and cow bells!
The accommodation was perfect for our needs. We enjoyed daily walks to the village for morning cappuccini and exploring the local villages and countryside by car.
The train station in Castelnuovo made it convenient for day trips to Lucca and Florence.
The notes provided by Friends of Tuscany were really helpful.
The host family was extremely responsive and hospitable.
We would love to return!

Very very good

Poolen var ok,men vi mener at den skal renses hver dag pågrund af hygiejnen. Uden dørs stole og liggestole, hvor flere var i stykker og defekte, samt mangel af hynder til begge dele.
wi-fi 👎😡👎 betyder der var intet wi-fi i begge lejligheder.
Et stort plus- der var mange håndklæder til hver person. Vi var 11 personer.
