A little about the area
From Casa Capannina you can take a safe walk to the local village of Camporgiano and enjoy a morning coffee, lunch or dinner, pizza etc and when you have the car there is a supermarket there too.
Just across the valley is the stunningly located fortress of Verrucole, which you can see from the garden in the distance, and also the zip wire park which is great fun for both children and adults, and ideal for a day in the welcome shade! You can also picnic and BBQ here if you want to make a day of it.
The local attractive market town of Castelnuovo, famous for its Thursday morning markets, and with all facilities is just a 15 minute drive. This town has bars, restaurants, gelaterias, and a river...In high season the town really comes alive, and often hosts outdoor evening entertainment.
The beautiful mediaeval town of Barga with its cobbled streets, renowned restaurants, Cathedral and stunning views is a 40 minute drive, and often there is free live music here.
Lucca, with its fully intact walls can't be missed for a day out and cycling around the walls is a firm favourite with day trippers and locals alike. Here, spend the day meandering in the shady streets, sitting in the open piazzas, dining al fresco, climbing towers, visiting the Opera (this is the birthplace of Puccini) or just shopping!
The Grotta del Vento, the famous Wind Caves is also a family favourite...
There is lots to do if you wish, but the real beauty of the area is the countryside and the scattering of small villages wherever you go....Just relax!

“We had a fantastic fortnight!”
We had a glorious two weeks at Casa Capannina. We loved: • The space and comfort provided by the house. • The tranquil country surroundings. • The beautiful views. • Swimming and playing in the pool. • Lounging in the hammock in the shade. • Cooking in the outside pizza oven. • Meeting the lovely owners, Renzo and Loretta. • The astounding weather :)

“Tuscan Bliss, A wonderful break away from it all!”
We absolutely loved this house, so much that we have already booked it again for next year! The property and location exceeded our expectations, everything that we had seen from photos and information provided at time of booking was as we expected or in most cases even better when we arrived. The property was very clean and well equipped, the gardens and outside area were very well maintained and swimming pool was cleaned daily by the owner Renzo before we even woke without him ever disturbing us. The house is in a very private setting with amazing views but yet just minutes in the car from local amenities, we had a mixture of wonderful days out going from drives in the mountains stopping at random little restaurants with the most amazing food I have ever tasted to having beautiful days sitting by the pool. We visited the city of Lucca which is about 45mins away and is a must do visit! We also had a Pizza take away from the Pizza restaurant in the village of Camporgiano which i must say has been the best Pizza take out I have ever had! The owner Renzo was very friendly and always at the end of the phone if we needed him, he made some good recommendations of places to go and nothing was too much trouble when we contacted him. We found the service from booking through Lorraine right through to dealing with Renzo locally to be excellent. We are looking forward to returning again next year and would have no hesitations in recommending this property!
