From the owner

A peaceful and relaxing three bedroom Italian villa awaits you...nestled into the Tuscan hillside, engulfed by trees and flowers of Garfagnana, and quietly tucked below the cobblestone streets of the medieval village of Cardoso. Escape the hustle and bustle of tourists and unwind with a glass of wine or cappuccino on the main terrace, overlooking the beautiful Serchio Valley. A short ten minute walk, leads you to the peak of Cardoso where the ancient bell tower chimes every half hour and offers more breathtaking panoramic views of the countryside and mountains. This renovated (2001) three bedroom, two bath, two-story villa offers a one-of-a-kind setting for your authentic Italian stay.

About my land ....rich in history and environments still uncontaminated, Garfagnana is a heaven to all those who love nature.

Hidden between the Apuan Alps and the Tuscan-Emilian Appennines, intersected by the river Serchio, it is dotted by small towns and villages where ancient traditions live on.

Near to Barga (7km) in a peaceful and traditional Tuscany place (perfect to visit Lucca, Pisa and Florence ).
