About this property
Villa with private pool and great panoramic views!!!
The villa has been restored in the typical style of the Garfagnana area (using the original construction materials: terracotta, wood, stone) and furnished with ancient furniture according to the local tradition. It has been completely renovated in the last 3 years and a pool has been added. It will be rented for the first time from the season 2020. The location on an altitude of approximately 950m, grants a not too warm climate in the summertime (the temperature during the night is almost alsways not higher then 18C°. The property is an excellent destination for a relaxing holiday and visit the Garfagnana area with it charming villages, great scenic drives, walking-hiking (we suggest in the Orecchiella Natural Park) and other outdoor activities. It’s at the same time a good starting point to visit Pisa, Lucca and for a day at sea (the Versilia Riviera is 60 kms away). The house is accessed via a large panoramic terrace: from here you enter through the main door in the entrance hall of the villa finished in stone. At the lower floor we have the red marble terrace, the entrance hall of the villa, a living room with sofa and armchair, and a bedroom with double & single bed and a large bathroom with toilet/bathtub.

From the living room, climbing stairs with iron and chestnut structure, you reach the upper floor where there are a double room, a room with 2 single beds, a bathroom with a spacious shower for common use of those two bedrooms. From here you can also access the garden, and the pool area. You can also access the mid floor from the entrance hall, through a stone staircase leading to the large living-dining room. Here is a large dining table and a spacious sofa, a fireplace, an equipped kitchen and a storage room. From this large room you can go to the garden and the pool area through a large arched glass door. From the dining-living room you can reach the upper floor via a stone staircase. On this floor we have a bedroom with a double and single bed, a bathroom with toilet/shower, a bedroom with three single beds and en-suite bathroom with toilet/shower. This room has access through a glass door to the solarium area of the garden. From here you can enjoy the beautiful view of the Apuan Alps.

We had a wonderful stay, the house is cozy, the pool and the view fantastic.
Far up in the mountains!
Kitchen utensils are somewhat dated.
Recommended if you like beautiful and rustic lodging with friends and family!
Vielen Dank, der Urlaub war sehr schön. Auch die Umgebung ist wundervoll zum Entspannen geeignet. Das Ferienhaus lädt wirklich zum Verweilen ein.
Trotzdem haben wir ein paar Anmerkungen zum Ferienhaus die uns leider gestört haben:
- Küchenausstattung ist für 10 Personen sehr knapp.
-In jedem Badezimmer war leider Schimmel.
-Poolreinigung zu selten, eventuell sollte man überlegen den Pool abzudecken.
Prachtig huis en een heerlijk zwembad. Ruim voldoende badkamers voor de aparte families. Klein puntje is wel dat er maar één koelkast is voor boodschappen voor dertien personen, En te weinig glazen in huis.
Verder een superfijne vakantie gehad
We had a wonderful stay in Sassorosso. The house was fantastic! Very clean, refurbished to a high standard with tasteful decor. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils making cooking and bbq'ing very easy. The bedrooms were large with comfortable beds and bedding. The pool and garden areas were lovely with incredible scenic views, a great large table for outside dining and lots of sunbeds and deck chairs to relax on. Giulia was an excellent host, giving great suggestions for restaurants and local excursions and quick to respond to any queries.
The village is small with two restaurants close by, we'd highly recommend a trip to Linda's for coffee in the mornings and big pasta dinners.
The supermarkets were easily accessible by car within 20minutes drive.
Thank you for a great stay!
