A little about location:
This property is peacefully situated just beneath the peaks of the Appenine mountain range; 800M from the village of Chiozza with its basic shop, bar and restaurant; approximately 1 hr 15 minutes north of Lucca, and a 15 minute drive to the market town of Castelnuovo di Garfagnana with it famous Thursday morning market, shops, bars, restaurants and train station…..
The local village has a bar/basic food shop and a popular restaurant and it is possible to walk cross country for 3km to a further restaurant, located in Castiglione, a beautiful fully walled mediaeval village which is known for its intact protecting walls, fantastic views, and summer festas.
The property is located only a 15/20 minute drive to the famous mountain peak top village of San Pellegrino with its mummified saints and incredible views.
Whilst a walkers paradise and set in the depths of the countryside, there is not a feeling of isolation at this farmhouse and the house is only a 10 minute drive or so from what is often described as the best restaurant in the area, at Pieve Fosciana, which also boasts, shops, banks, bars, restaurants, and the most gorgeous delicatessen with take way home made traditional Italian food.

We loved our stay at the villa. There was plenty of room and the kids loved the pool. The hosts were helpful. There is plenty to do in the surrounding area and the cities of Lucca, Pisa and Florence are outstanding. The nearer towns of Barga and Castelnuovo are also very attractive. The area has recently been a center of attention on BBC with Amanda Holden, Rob Rinder and Clive Myrie. However, if you don't like heights and hairpin bends up a mountainside, this might not be the villa for you.

Elcriso is wonderful and we didn’t want to leave. We were a group of friends who stayed for one month. The view from the terrace is incredible, the pool delightful and the house quite comfortable. Angelina provided meals on a number of occasions - her lasagne is the best! Angelina and the Villa rental company were very helpful throughout the month.

Wer Abgeschiedenheit und Erholung sucht, ist hier genau richtig. Das geräumige Haus ist sehr sauber und ordentlich und liegt auf einem terrassenförmig angelegten Gelände. Der Blick in die toskanische Berg- und Talwelt bleibt unvergesslich. Die kleine Bar, oberhalb des Hauses in Chiozza hält das Nötigste fürs Frühstück bereit und an mehreren Abenden bietet sie auch typische Antipasti der Toskana an, ein paar Fleischgerichte und natürlich unzählige Pizzen. Bei Angela, der Besitzerin des Hauses, kann man mehrmals die Woche ein sehr leckeres , hausgemachtes Menü bestellen. Und wer unbedingt selbst kochen möchte, erreicht nach ca. 6 km den nächsten Supermarkt.
Wir- 6 Freunde- haben hier 2 Wochen Sonnenschein, blauen Himmel und einen gepflegten Pool sehr genossen. Ausflüge in die nähere Umgebung und nach Lucca gehörten natürlich auch dazu.
