There is a possibility of a small pool, subject to necessary consents. Upstairs is a double bedroom with a balcony, another bedroom and a bathroom with shower and separate toilet. On the lower floor is a wonderful old cantina, of two rooms, with terracotta floors and beamed ceilings, full of character and which offer potential.

The house is on the edge of a lovely village in the Lunigiana hills, and there is one of the very best restaurants in the area just a short walk away from this property. There is good road access and village parking with a very short walk to the house, through the pretty 'borgo', the pedestrian village lane. The houses are all in stone, mostly restored, with charming atmosphere and warm and friendly people. Plentiful parking in the village. Licciana Nardi is a town in the Taverone valley with 13th century pedestrian street flanked with local shops. Central in the town is the Piazza del Municipio which hosts the 16th century Malaspina castle and many festivals such as the Chestnut Festival in the autumn. The castle is linked to the baroque church by a covered bridge so that the nobles had direct access to prayer and dealings with the local priest. There are also a bank, schools, restaurants and medical facilities. The nearby village of Monti has a castle on the hill above and offers a good selection of amenities.

Lunigiana is a magical part of Tuscany. The hills which encircle Lunigiana create an intimate and relaxed atmosphere whilst the blend of the mountains and sea are extremely inviting to those who enjoy the outdoors. The rolling landscape is liberally sprinkled with castles of Medici or Malaspina vintage and for lovers of the coast the sea is only a short hop 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 area is criss-crossed with marked footpaths for walks to the hills and mountains. The airports of Pisa, Parma and Genova are all just over an hour away.
