The villa is on the edge of a small village in the Lunigiana hills, only 5 kms from Aulla, a good town where there is an autostrada exit, a train station, supermarkets and shops. There are numerous agriturismi, country farm restaurants, to discover nearby, serving local specialties and many excellent walking trails abound. The small town of Barbarasco is set on the banks of the river Magra, and it offers a selection of shops and restaurants, schools, a chemist and one of the best cheese shops in the area. An excellent local restaurant with a lovely outside dining area is within an easy walk.

Lunigiana is a magical part of Tuscany. The rolling landscape is liberally sprinkled with castles of Medici or Malaspina vintage and for lovers of the coast the sea is only half-an-hour away. The golden sandy beaches around Lerici and the pebble coves of the Cinque Terre (UNESCO World Heritage site) are ideal for swimming and sailing. The airports of Pisa, Parma and Genova are each just over an hour away.

Distances: Aulla 5 km (autostrada, supermarkets), Lerici (beaches) 30 km, Cinque Terre 40 km, Viareggio 60 km, Lucca 80 km, Pisa (airport) 90 km.
