Il Funghetto – Authentic Mountain Retreat with Two Bedrooms in a Stunning Panoramic Location If you're searching for a peaceful mountain hideaway or a pied-à-terre in the Tuscan Apennines, this charming stone house at Passo del Cerreto is a rare find. Set just below the pass road linking Tuscany and Emilia Romagna, the home is surrounded by ancient chestnut forests rich with Apennine flora and fauna. Though positioned beneath the road, this ensures convenient access while the house opens onto stunning panoramic views of the mountains. The location is a dream for outdoor lovers. Hiking trails start directly from the doorstep, offering immersion in unspoiled nature. A ski resort is just a 15-minute drive away, making it ideal for year-round enjoyment of the outdoors. Perfectly combining charm and convenience, the property is only 500 metres from a popular mountain bar-restaurant and a historic parish church. The medieval town of Fivizzano—with shops, restaurants, markets, and cultural events—is just 5 km downhill. Access to the house is via a single stone staircase leading up from the road where you park your car. A spacious courtyard welcomes you, offering a private outdoor space ideal for relaxing in the fresh mountain air. With some paving improvements, it could become a stunning outdoor living area. The house is arranged over two levels and includes a fully equipped kitchen, a bathroom, and two cozy bedrooms with views of the surrounding woodland. Traditional handmade terracotta ceiling tiles and other original features such as chestnut beams, wooden floors, and stone fireplaces enhance the authentic atmosphere of a mountain retreat. Heating is provided by two cast iron wood-burning stoves, offering ample warmth and ambiance. Firewood is abundant, sourced directly from the nearby woods. Though the home would benefit from some renovation, it retains the essential character and raw charm of a traditional Apennine cabin—ideal for those seeking simplicity and connection to nature. Discover Fivizzano and the Lunigiana Region Fivizzano is a beautiful medieval town often referred to as “the Florence of Lunigiana.” Its cobbled streets, historic walls, and vibrant Piazza Medicea create a timeless setting.
