You'll love the views from this traditional villa in Garfagnana. Sweeping across the mountains in Castelnuovo Garfagnana towards Lucca in the south, it'll be hard to take your eyes off the rolling scenery. The best spot for gazing? We reckon it's the private pool, though the outlook from the loggia and terrace is just as lovely. It's not the most modern home, but it has a lot of heart – the rooms are cosy, comfortable, and packed with character. The location is convenient for exploring the area, too. Lucca, Barga, Castelnuovo Garfagnana, and many more hidden gems are easily discoverable by car.
