A little about the area:
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.
Brunello is located a couple of kms from the village of Villa Collmandina, with its shop, restaurant, pharmacy and post office.
The closest larger town is the market town of Castelnuovo di Garfagnana which is a 12 minute drive away. Here there is a famous Thursday morning market, all facilities inlcuding restaurants, bars, train station, supermarkets etc.....
Quite convenient yet only a 15 or 20 minute drive up into the National Park of Orecchiella which is renowned for its views, wildlife and walking trails which last anything from 1 hour to 4 days!
Lucca is around 1 hr 10 /15 mins away, Pisa around 90 minutes and Barga 25 mins.

We have had a lovely holiday. The house and accommodation were very clean. The owner came by on the Saturday and made us very welcome. He brought over a wifi box which my husband was very glad about. He also brought over a bottle of wine which again my husband liked. We/I have enjoyed the pool at least twice a day. We were visited by a cat and some kittens which my daughter really liked. We ended up feeding them so they made an appearance at least twice a day. We enjoyed ice cream in Lucca at Yogurtmania, a lovely lunch time meal at il Fatty in Massa. Overall a very nice trip. Also the owner was particularly helpful when I left my phone in my room. He sent it back to me without any charge. Thank you so much.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Sep 2015
We stayed in this cottage for one week with our family of 6 children ranging from 9 months to 14 years. It's located a little way up the side of the mountain and accessed by a small, bumpy, gravel track which leads only to a fish-farm and the cottage itself. The views from the house were lovely and a short drive on up the mountain-side to Corfino gives you an even better view of the mountains and valleys surrounding the cottage.
The house itself was indeed very rustic (complete with dust) but also very pleasant. There is plenty of space to sit at tables but there isn't really anywhere comfy to sit. The sofa bed seats 3 which wasn't really enough for us but we sat and ate on the terrace for most of the time anyway, enjoying the fresh air, scenery and beautiful weather which we were blessed with.
The steep stone staircase gave us a little cause for concern given that we had a (very fast) crawling baby with us but our other children managed without any trouble. The bedrooms themselves were plenty big enough and comfortable.
The swimming pool is fairly big and a constant 1.5m deep. Deep enough for the kids to jump in from the side without bumping on the bottom (not head first though!). It's not heated but it didn't need to be -- according to the thermometer it was about 26 degrees in there all week. Our children spent a significant amount of time in the pool (which was cleaned by the owner half-way through the week) and were very sad to leave it at the end of our stay! The pool area is enclosed so you can be sure that smaller children don't go wandering off and accidentally falling in.
The big supermarket "Conad" in Gallicano is just like an English supermarket and open on Sundays which is very useful for a Saturday change-over. It's about 25 minutes drive from the house. But there are also two smaller supermarkets in Pieve Fosciana (10mins) which also have everything you could need.
With Pisa (80mins), Lucca (60 mins), Florence (2 hours) and the sea (90 mins) all within day-tripping distance it is a good location but a car is essential. And don't forget the smaller mountain villages of Corfino and Castiglione which are only a 5-10 minute drive away.

We love the house and location (this was our second visit) and Brunello is very friendly and helpful.
Lots of places to visit, Lucca, Viareggio & Orecchiella Park.

If you're looking for peace and quiet and mountainviews, don't look further. Rustico Brunello is as it says very 'rustico' and a great view of the mountains. For us it was to quiet. Brunello is a very nice and hospitable guy.
We had bad luck with the weather.
