Holiday flat 'Capanne 2

ED Refnr. 2335203

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. Capanne2It is a delightful flat whose private entrance is at the front of the farmstead but hidden by a corner of Capanne 1. In front of the flat there is a small but well-equipped terrace with a magnificent view of the Apuan Alps. In the entrance hall, a wooden staircase leads to a mezzanine to the left while, down two steps, on the right we find the dining room with a typical Tuscan fireplace and a sofa bed. A balcony acts as a divider between the kitchenette, equipped with a gas cooker, fridge and oven, and the dining room. In the kitchen there are two doors: one leads to a cosy double bedroom; the other, down a step, leads to a large bathroom with shower. The room has a series of arched windows. This was probably the metato of the farmhouse. Back at the entrance, the wooden staircase leads to a loft where there is a double bed and a door leading to a small bathroom equipped with a sink, toilet and shower. The roof of the room is sloping and the lowest point is about one metre high. The room is extremely cosy as is the whole flat, which, furnished with abundant use of wood and enlivened by a few steps, is very intimate and pleasant.Brief descriptionOther : Non-smoking houseBrief description 1Total kitchens : 1Living room 1Other living room equipment : 1 sofa bed in the living room, 1 double bed in the gallerySurroundingsSports facilities nearby : Climbing, Mountain biking, ClimbingGarden and outdoor spacesGarden equipment : Grill, GreenhouseAdjacent leisure facilities : Swimming pool, Shared outdoor pool
