Le Lunghe is a restored cottage in beautiful Tuscany 5 mins. walk to restaurant

Situated on the side of a hill and surrounded by forests and mountains, Le Lunghe offers the perfect retreat for couples or small families seeking tranquillity and the beauty of the countryside. The cottage is set within a mature, well-maintained garden, cared for by the friendly owner, Giancarlo. At the side of the two-bedroom cottage, a lovely covered veranda provides stunning views over the Serchio Valley and the surrounding hills, offering an ideal spot to relax. The front of the house faces the village, just a few minutes' walk away, as well as the impressive Apuan Mountain range.

For outdoor enthusiasts, Le Lunghe is perfectly situated near various hiking routes, making it an ideal location for hillwalkers. During the summer months, the local village hosts two vibrant festivals. The Medieval Festival features a historical re-enactment and additionally, the Food and Wine Tour to the Rocca di Sassi, showcasing the area's culinary and cultural heritage, is a highlight for visitors.

On the lawn, a 3.5-meter diameter, 90cm deep lightweight swimming pool offers a refreshing place to cool off, while a paved terrace and shaded dining area complete the outdoor space.
The cottage has been carefully restored and extended to preserve its charm. The ground floor features a fully equipped dining kitchen made from reclaimed chestnut wood, complete with an original stone fireplace and wood-burning stove. The living room offers a comfortable sofa, TV, stereo, and a selection of books, and leads out to the covered veranda. A large bathroom with a shower and washing machine completes this level. Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms: one with a double bed and the other with twin beds or a double, providing flexibility for guests.

Le Lunghe’s serene setting is perfect for those seeking peace and solitude, yet it is just a few minutes' walk to the medieval village of Sassi, where you'll find an excellent restaurant and a small shop. A newly completed road allows for easy access to the nearby market town of Castelnuovo di Garfagnana, now only a 10-minute drive away. Castelnuovo offers a variety of restaurants, cafés, bars, shops, and a vibrant weekly market.

The town is also home to a train station providing convenient links to Lucca and beyond. By car, you can reach Lucca in 50 minutes, Pisa and its airport in 1.5 hours, Florence in 2 hours, and the stunning coastal villages of Cinque Terre in 2.5 hours. For a beach day, the nearest sandy shore is just over an hour away.
