Nearly 400 years old, the stone village house is an original part of the village fortifications with its ramparts standing guard over the beautiful Lunigiana countryside. “Il Fortino” is built on three levels and has been lovingly restored to retain many original features including chestnut beams, cotta floors and a real log fire. At the front of the property is a vaulted portico above which sits the private terrace with its stunning views where you can wine, dine and relax surrounded by the magnificent Lunigiana landscape. |

Other Details

'Il Fortino' is just 10 mins drive from shops, restaurants and train station and only 20 minutes drive from the motorway. The beautiful seaside resorts of the Versilian Riviera are just a short car ride away as well as the famous 'Cinque Terre' coastal villages. The Renaissance cities of Florence, Lucca and Pisa are also within easy distance and can be reached by train - a very relaxing and scenic option.
Lunigiana is an ancient territory of Tuscany extending from the Apennines to the mouth of the River Magra. This hidden corner of Tuscany is rich in mediaeval history: castles, Romanesque churches and ancient hilltop hamlets of astonishing beauty dot the landscape everywhere. Bounded by the Mediterranean Sea, the Apuane Alps and the Appenine Mountains, Lunigiana is a land lost in time.
