We called it Il Castello (the Castle), because of its peculiar narrow structure which reminds of a towerhouse.
Il Castello is located on the edge of a tiny village of 100 hinabitants. A narrow road drivable with small cars crosses it. Cars can be parked within our property or in case of medium-large ones on the village main square at about 100 m asphalted distance from our house, to be covered on foot.

Features:

• Il Castello comprises three levels linked by a steep woodden stair. It is about 40 sm, can accomodate up to 2 people and is entirely open plan with the exception of the shower room.
  
• On the ground floor, a living room with fireplace, kitchenette and sat-tv.
  
• On the first floor a bath with shower and a room with a single bed.
  
• On the second floor a lovely bedroom with double bed
  
• Outside a small terrace for your sunny afternoons equipped with table and chairs and just in front of the house a shared large garden (1000 m2) with shared swimming pool.
  

Bagni di Lucca (at 5 km), is a nice tourist resort, where you will find general stores, shops, and sport centers (public swimming pool, tennis courts, chemist, supermarkets, etc.) and a beautiful spa known during the 18th and 19th centuries as a beloved destination for personalities and artists like Byron, Shelley, Puccini, Metternich and Radestsky.

Traces of this glorious past are to be found in its monuments: the English Church, the Catene bridge, the Spa, the villas, the Casino, etc.
The Casino was the first gambling house to be opened in Europe. It was closed in the 19th century, but during the last years it has been perfectly restored and reopened as a wonderful location for parties and wedding receptions.

In our spa town you can find some good trattorias, where you can taste our traditional cuisine based on simple ingredients like mushrooms, chestnuts, sausages, stakes etc.

Enjoy beautiful walks, bicycle or horse rides on the hills around us, full of churches and Roman parishes: S. Pietro in Corsena, Pieve and San Cassiano di Controne, Montefegatesi, Casabasciana and Vicopancellorum. Nearby, Borgo a Mozzano and the Maddalena bridge, better known as the Devil’s bridge, the little canyon Orrido di Botri, the Garfagnana villages, Barga with its typical historical centre, Coreglia Antelminelli and its Museum of Plaster Figures and Emigration.

Lucca (25 km), Pisa (50km) and the close Tyrrhenian coast, (or Versilia-Viareggio beaches, 40km) offer further cultural artistic and eno-gastronomical diversions. Closest airports: Pisa (PSA; 50 km) or Florence (FLR; 85 km). Clostest train station: Bagni di Lucca/Fornoli (10 km). Daily bus service from Guzzano (our village) to Lucca (about 30 min. drive).
