Description from manager
Description
Palazzo Pasquini is a restored X1V C palace standing in a prime position in the tiny village of Treppignana, with its population of less than 30.
The views from the garden and all around the village are wondrous and eating on the terrace is a real treat.
The property is substantial, with enormous rooms, high beamed ceilings, arched doorways, exposed stonework & traditional flooring and lots of nooks and crannies.
This house oozes characther and is a complete one off - a real feel of history with many antiques, & original features - an adventure, and wonderful for hide and seek!
The garden is also a one off, with a small reading area, a further shaded area with stone table and seats, a large terrace for eating al fresco, and a sunbathing and pool area with views over the rooftops.
Whilst this is a village property the garden is totally private since the houses situated to the side as seen in the photo cannot actually overlook the garden (we have checked!) and in any event they are uninhabited and used just for the odd weekend in the summer by their Italian owners. Due to position of house there are views over rooftops..
The streets of this tiny village are far too narrow for cars, and is therefore a peaceful retreat, and good for children. The villagers are very friendly and if you are resident for any of their numerous 'village evenings' will invite you to join them to eat, drink and maybe dance in the Square.
The ground floor consists of one very large entrance/dining area with arched doorways, leading to the enormous tuscan style kitchen with large table, equipped with washing machine, dishwasher, oven, hob, microwave, indoor BBQ. The kitchen leads to garden via utility room with washing machine.
Outside:
Garden with various nooks and crannies and little sitting areas
Large terrace with views over roof tops and valley with mountains beyond
Swimming pool (12M - including roman steps and jacuzzi area at each end x 4M).
BBQ
The first floor has 3 double bedrooms and two twin bedrooms.
One of the double bedrooms has an adjoining sitting rooms, and the third is interconnected with the twin room (although there are separate entrances)
There are 2 shower rooms and 1 bathroom.
Also on this floor is a further dining room/ 'breakfast' style room with arched doorway leading through to part of the garden.
Also on the first floor is a comfortable living room with sofas, CD player, and a wood burning stove.
There are little places to explore all round the house
A little about location:
The property is situated in the tiny ancient village of Treppignana high in the hills overlooking the Garfagnana Valley. The population of this well kept and friendly village is only 30 , & cars are not permitted beyond the main Square, which ensures peace and quiet, and safe exploring for children. The views from the village are amazing at every turn due to its high position, and from the bell tower there are 360 degrees views of the entire area - wonderful! A walkers/trekkers paradise, there are various walks straight from the village, and the mountain peaks are all climbable by foot. All this peace and yet only a 15 minute drive from the market town of Castelnuovo and 20 minutes or so from the medieaval town of Barga both with their various bars and restaurants. The nearest shop/bar is a 5 minute drive away and there is a restaurant within 10 minutes. Pisa 1 hr 20 mins; Lucca 1 hr; Florence 1hr 45 mins; mediaeval villages everywhere; National Parks 30 mins. Step back in time!

Response from the manager Thank you for your review. We are glad you loved this place and are sorry you found oven outdated and had some water problems. I am pleased to say that a new oven will be in place for the 2018 season as well as a second boiler to ensure this large property is adequately served with hot water. Hopefully then the Villa will continue to generate 5 star reviews. We hope to hear from you another time. Lorraine at tuscan-retreats
