卢尼哥纳

Lovely house, retaining all the original character, facing the gurgling stream, with a series of terraces to sit out at, to soak up the sun or to find shade, at all times of the day. Peaceful and calming, on the edge of a pretty village with shops and services on hand. Three bedrooms and three bathrooms.

The house is entered into the snug living room with wood-burning fireplace, to a spacious kitchen which holds a table and chairs and opens onto a balcony facing the stream. There is a handy bathroom with bath on this level. Then through a little reading nook onto another, larger terrace. Upstairs to a good landing, then to two large double bedrooms (interconnecting) and a bathroom with shower which can be accessed from either bedroom. On the lower level are two rooms (which can be used as games rooms or for occasional accommodation) and a bathroom with shower. These rooms open onto a tiled terrace. All services connected and there is central heating with mains gas.

The local town of Monzone has a number of shops and services and, importantly, a train station which is within walking distance. The railway line runs fairly close to the property, with trains of the quiet electric/diesel type which run infrequently and which do not run at all at night. Within walking distance is a good selection of shops, coffee bars and restaurants. Easy access on good roads. The town of Fivizzano (10km) has a central cobbled piazza and is often referred to as the Florence of Lunigiana. The bustling town hosts many cultural events over the summer with concerts in the piazza and reenactments of medieval parades. With its musical heritage the town also attracts international musicians during its annual music festival. There is a hospital, shops and restaurants in the town. In the other direction, towards the sea, is Fosdinovo (20 km), a walled town dominated by a stunning Malaspina Castle dating back to the fourteenth century. The town is famous for embroidery on precious linen and Pope Francis’s robe was embroidered by the ladies of Fosdinovo. The town overlooks the beaches of the Versilia coast and it is reached by a scenic road which meanders through the olive groves above the market town of Sarzana. Nearby (5 km) is the elegant town of Equi Terme, famous for centuries for the natural warm spring waters, now a spa and wellness retreat with thermal springs, large outdoor swimming pool and a new zip wire, climbing wall and e-bike hire. Excellent mountain trails for walking and biking. Ski resort of Cerreto Laghi in 45 mins, with good skiing over the winter months and also open in the summertime to pick up a chair lift up to wonderful summer walking in the hills.

Lunigiana is a magical part of Tuscany. The rolling landscape is liberally sprinkled with castles of Medici or Malaspina vintage and for lovers of the coast the sea is only 30-40 mins. The golden sandy beaches around Lerici and the pebble coves of the Cinque Terre 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.
