Alle Borre: A Beautiful Traditional Tuscan Farmhouse
Located less than an hour and a half from Pisa Airport, up the scenic Garfagnana Valley and just 4 km from the lovely medieval town of Castelnuovo di Garfagnana, Alle Borre is a beautifully renovated, traditional 260-year-old farmhouse. The property is set within approximately 2 hectares (5 acres) of private meadows, orchards, and sweet chestnut woodlands, offering breathtaking views overlooking the Serchio River Valley below.
The true beauty of this area lies in its stunning countryside, endless walking trails, historic hilltop villages to explore, and absolute tranquillity. The property also features a private swimming pool.
Property Potential
The farmhouse is distributed over four levels, comprising a total of 18 rooms and a combined internal living area of 250 square metres. Most rooms boast original chestnut-beamed ceilings and face the valley, offering incredible views overlooking the pretty little village of Torrite. Torrite is a scenic 3 km walk away and features a small supermarket and a local bakery for fresh bread every morning.
Upstairs lounge located directly opposite the main staircase leading to the apartments.
