Four comfortable bedrooms upstairs: three doubles and one twin.

Please note that automated distance information can be misleading in rural areas. Although some places may appear close “as the crow flies,” walking routes are often impractical.
A car is required for restaurants, shopping, and local amenities
Very peaceful and tranquil, yet walkable to the small village of Casciana (bar and shop) in about 10-15 minutes.

Places to visit:
Fortezza di Verrucole: restored medieval fortress with panoramic views and living-history visits.
Parco dell'Orecchiella: way-marked trails, picnic spots and a visitor centre in unspoilt mountain scenery.
Lago di Vagli: scenic lake with a zip wire spanning the water, suspension bridge and, when operating, boat trips.
Lago di Gramalazzo: hire pedalos, canoes and paddle boards; great for cold-water swimming.
Parco Avventura Il Buffardello (Buffardello Adventure Park): treetop courses and ziplines with routes for all ages.
Grotta del Vento: impressive cave system with guided tours of different lengths.
Barga & Castelnuovo: historic centres for cafés, restaurants, regular markets and seasonal events.
Lucca - cycle around the fully intact mediaeval walls, enjoy the buzz, architecture, shopping and book an opera recital

10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2024
Beautiful location, lovely pool and somewhere for my 91 year old mum to sit in the shade and watch her three great grand daughters in the pool. House very well equipped. Roads quite challenging so glad we had a small car when meeting others on the road!!!
Giovanna extremely helpful and sorts any problem out very quickly.

We had an amazing week in Cascianella!
The house, located in this pretty village is just perfect for a relaxing week. Together with friends, 4 adults and 4 kids, we very much enjoyed the pool and the terrace in the schade of the trees with amazing views of the mountains.
The house is clean and wel equipped for 8. The house is even prettier than on the pictures.
The small café/shop ‘Maria’ (700m) is perfect for a cappuccino, fresh bread and delicious prosciutto. For other groceries and pizza the car is needed (you Will find everything you need in the villages around from 10’ to 30’ drive). The touristic places are a bit further away (30-90’) but the road is a pretty journey.
We followed the tips we got from our contact person and enjoyed good restaurants (bistecca!), wine and olive oil tasting and canyoning. The landscape is different from south Tuscany but great to enjoy the Italian way of life and wonderful nature. A big thank you to Lorraine and Giovanna!

This house has everything you can wish for and more. It is perfectly located if you like peace and quiet. We were a group of 5 adults and we found this property to be very spacious with four bedrooms.
6 / 10Average·Aug 2020
The house is in good standard and well though through. Fabulous views and surroundings.
Only downside - which is also noticeable is the fact that there’s no sun after 5pm as the sun sets behind the trees in the back of the house leaving the evenings on the cool side and shortening the sun/pooling time
