In 1998, we transformed a typical Garfagnana farmer's house into four comfortable flats, maintaining the style typical of the Garfagnana. The house where the farmer and his family lived has been converted into Capanne1 and Capanne2. The stable for the cows and bulls in Capanne3 and the barn, detached from the house, has been transformed into Capanne4. The structure, completely made of stone, is located at an altitude of about 600 metres and offers a splendid view of the wooded mountains of the Apuan Alps. It is a small paradise from which to visit the famous Grotta del Vento (Wind Cave), hike the most beautiful peaks of the Apuan Alps or simply relax by the pool in summer or in front of the fireplace in winter. Gallicano, the first town of reference, is 10 km away, Castelnuovo Garfagnana is 15 km, Lucca is 45 km away, while Florence and Versilia (Viareggio and Forte dei Marmi) can be reached in an hour and a half by car. Definitely not to be missed is the famous "Grotta del Vento" (Wind Cave): located in the centre of the Apuan Alps Natural Park, it is among the most complete caves in Europe, presenting an extraordinary variety of phenomena that are illustrated with precision and competence by expert speleological guides. Each flat is well furnished, with a private terrace and completely independent entrance. The terraces are equipped with rustic wooden tables and are perfect places to enjoy meals while gazing at the magnificent panorama. The flats have their own gas heating system and typical wood-burning fireplaces. During the winter, gas consumption must be paid for along with any firewood used. The flats are very comfortable and furnished with abundant use of wood, providing an atmosphere of refined taste. The renovation was carried out with great care, respecting the typical architectural style of this area with wooden beams on the ceilings, white rustic-style walls and terracotta floors. In some cases, the interior wooden ceilings are original as well as some stonework. There are two baby cots available upon reservation and also a washing machine for guest use. The flats have satellite TV. Capanne3This flat is on a lower level of the farmhouse and is accessed from the garden on the right following a short path to the private terrace. Through a small courtyard, one step leads to the entrance of the flat. Since the terrace is built on a ledge of the hill, it is protected by a wooden fence. The entrance is into the large living room where the living and dining corner is located. Here too there is a comfortable sofa bed and a characteristic Tuscan fireplace. In the dining area is the kitchenette equipped with a gas stove, refrigerator and oven. In front of the kitchen, up a few steps, a door leads to the small horseshoe-shaped courtyard. To the left of the kitchen, up one step, there is a short corridor onto which opens the door to a single bedroom and, up another step, at the end of the corridor there is a bathroom with laundry, toilet and a shower niche. To the right of the fireplace four steps lead to a small space onto which open the doors to a double bedroom, a single bedroom and a bathroom with shower. The twin bedroom has a French window opening onto the small courtyard. The flat is very comfortable, cosy and bright.Short descriptionOther : Non-smoking houseBrief description 1Total kitchens : 1SurroundingsSports facilities nearby : Climbing, Mountain biking, ClimbingGarden and outdoor spacesGarden equipment : GreenhouseAdjacent leisure facilities : Swimming pool
