This charming stone villa is an ideal base for those seeking outdoor adventures. Nestled near the Apennines near Lucca, in summer you can hike, cycle, and climb, and in winter, you can ski. In the valleys of the Garfagnana, you can enjoy rafting and canyoning too – it really is a thrill-seekers' paradise. Back home, the villa has a warm, traditional Tuscan style, while the outdoor space was made for relaxing after a busy day. Soak in the pool, sip wine on the sun-kissed terraces and relive the day’s adventures – what’s not to love?
