| Col di Lavacchio | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Col di Lavacchio is a 22 acre farm in northern Tuscany nestling on a ridge below the dramatic peak of Pania del Croce. With sensational views of the Appenines to the south and east, Lavacchio serves as a perfect base for an action-packed adventure, a cultural feast or an indulgent rest by the pool. Whether you want to hang glide from a crag or attend the Puccini festival, to amble amongst the olives or spot wild boar in the chestnut forest, at Lavacchio we can tailor make your holiday to fit your requirements. The small town of Barga is a draw for artists and photographers whilst Castelnuovo is the hub of activity for the Garfagnana region with its extensive national park. This is an area rooted in tradition and unspoilt by mass tourism where Italians come to sample the real Tuscany. |

| The farmhouse (la Fattoria) with apartment (la Stalla) | ||||||||||||||||||||
| The old farmhouse at Lavacchio was completely renovated in 2004 and whilst the traditional features, such as the chestnut beams, were retained the house was fitted with smart modern appliances to make your stay a comfortable one. There are five bedrooms (double or twin) and three bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen and a comfortable sitting room with an open fire. Two terraces for al fresco eating and a working pizza oven mean that time spent indoors is kept to a minimum. Facilities include: dishwasher, microwave oven, washing machine, 5 ring gas hob and oven with electric grill, 2 fridges, CD player, DVD/Video and TV, central heating. All linen is included. The ground floor apartment 100m away has 2 large double/twin rooms, a sitting room with sofa-bed and a small but well equipped kitchen. The bathroom has a huge wet area shower. The loggia outside, with the spa pool (winter only) provides welcome shade and a romantic dinner setting. |

| Your holiday | ||||||||||||||||||||
| A car is essential at Lavacchio to allow you to shop locally in a range of supermarkets and village markets and to explore hill top towns and Tuscanys historic sites. The track into the property is extremely narrow and you may wish to leave your car in Promiana (500m). We supply a small courtesy car for guests to use. There is a huge number of restaurants within 15 mins drive or alternatively let us take the strain out of holiday cooking. A selection of produce is available ranging from eggs to fresh fruit and vegetables in season. There are masses of herbs all over the property. Meals can be served by prior arrangement on the terrace: these can range from a 4 course dinner to a pizza evening or barbeque. Cookery courses are also available. |
