casa ciesa al numero 4 is located on the edge of a tiny village of 100 hinabitants. A narrow road drivable with small cars crosses it. Cars can be parked within our property or in case of medium-large ones on the village main square at about 150 m asphalted distance from our house, to be covered on foot.
bagni di lucca (at 5 km from our village), is a nice tourist resort, where you will find general stores, shops and sport centers (public swimming pool, tennis courts, chemist, supermarkets, etc.) and a beautiful spa, beloved destination of artists like byron, shelley, puccini, metternich and radestsky. Traces of this glorious past are to be found in its monuments: the english church, the catene bridge, the spa, the villas, the casino, etc. The casino was the first gambling house to be opened in europe. It was closed in the 19th century, but during the last years it has been perfectly restored and reopened as a wonderful location for parties and wedding receptions. The town has a couple of good trattorias, where you can taste our traditional cuisine based on simple ingredients like mushrooms, chestnuts, sausages, stakes etc. Enjoy beautiful walks, bicycle or horse rides on the hills around our property, full of churches and roman parishes: s.pietro in corsena, pieve and san cassiano di controne, montefegatesi, casabasciana and vicopancellorum. Nearby, borgo a mozzano and the maddalena bridge, better known as the devil’s bridge, the little canyon orrido di botri, the garfagnana villages, barga with its typical historical centre, coreglia antelminelli and its museum of plaster figures and emigration are just a few of the places worth a visit. Lucca (25 km), pisa (50km) and the close tyrrhenian coast, (or versilia-viareggio beaches, 40km) offer further opportunities for food, culture and activity!
