About this villa rental
8 beds, 6 baths (16+2)
A beautifully renovated old barn set in 3 hectares of farmland, with amazing views over the unspoilt, green and mountainous countryside of Garfagnana, Northern Tuscany.
The property is split into 2 apartments (both included in the price), set side by side, so both have a ground floor, giving larger groups privacy from each other, whilst staying together on holiday. There is plenty of room to relax and dine together too!
In total there are 8 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms ,2 living kitchen/diners and plenty of space to all relax and eat together both inside and out. There is a beautiful loggia spanning the ground floor of the property providing a place to eat and relax in the shade overlooking the pool, and there is also a large covered terrace to the side of the house .
There is also a BBQ and wood oven for pizzas overlooking the pool area, and looking out to the mountains beyond.
The gated pool is enormous at 7M x 14M !
The house is just 2 km from Camporgiano with its river, castle, weekly market, restaurants, bars and shop. The village also boasts a train station for those days when you wish to leave the car behind, and visit the likes of Lucca; Barga; Castelnuovo; Pisa; Florence and the coast.
The house boasts fantastic views of the unspoilt countryside whatever the time of year. Explore the hundreds of hilltop villages, go walking, horse-riding, bike riding, or try the fishing which is excellent. Swim in the vier, visit the local fortress, see the wind caves, or zip wire through the trees.....
Of course the possibilities for picnics are endless and star gazing at night an experience. Relax with a glass of wine and watch locals play Bocce or be a spectator at the cheese rolling for which the area is famous.
In the autumn join in the local passion of mushroom picking or feast on chestnuts which used to form the staple diet for the locals. Tourism is yet to hit this area and this is truly one of those increasingly rare places in Europe for which this can be said.
Food: Garfagnanan cuisine is fairly simple, but scrumptious, using local fresh produce to prepare dishes, which since cooked for the locals are very cheap! Wine is good and inexpensive.There are numerous restaurants in the area and children are welcome. Provisions can easily be found in local bars/shops and supermarkets.
The locals are very friendly and helpful although not many speak English, take your phrase book. That said, we can always assist with translation when required and the owner is really helpful too!

Our large family group spent a week at Collaprico in July. It was an amazing property with every amenity provided. Plenty of space and beds for 16 of us and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the week. Really enjoyed the large pool and the gorgeous gardens. Would highly recommend this property.

We had a wonderful family holiday here, hiring both villas for a week in August for three family groups with babies, young children and grandparents. The setting was idyllic and felt quite remote, with a lovely large pool and terrace area facing the hills, and a large outdoor pizza oven that we used to cook homemade pizza for about 23 of us (including guests) one evening! There was plenty of shade along one side of the properties facing the pool (thanks goodness - it was hot!) , where we ate together for most of our meals, although there was a separate shaded terrace on an upper level for the villa we stayed in if we needed our own space. Some shade was also given on the main lawn by the large tree, great for hanging out under with the little ones. The swings in the adjacent field (a 30-second walk from the pizza oven) were an added bonus for the kids.
There was plenty of space for us all in the villas and we had pretty much everything we needed. The owner, Gabriele, was nearby and ready to help if we needed anything. Via Tuscan Retreats, they also managed to find us three highchairs and three cots! Washing lines were available 'round the back' for drying the laundry, as well as airers which we used on the terrace.
There was plenty of onsite parking for our three cars and getting around was straightforward, but we know the area as we have family living nearby. It was also nice to walk up through the fields to the little group of houses at via del Poggetto, and despite the heat, we also did the longer walk down to Camporgiano (and back up!).
We would definitely recommend these villas for a large group of family and/or friends.
