A little about location:
This property is peacefully situated just beneath the peaks of the Appenine mountain range; 800M from the village of Chiozza with its basic shop, bar and restaurant; approximately 1 hr 15 minutes north of Lucca, and a 15 minute drive to the market town of Castelnuovo di Garfagnana with it famous Thursday morning market, shops, bars, restaurants and train station…..
The local village has a bar/basic food shop and a popular restaurant and it is possible to walk cross country for 3km to a further restaurant, located in Castiglione, a beautiful fully walled mediaeval village which is known for its intact protecting walls, fantastic views, and summer festas.
The property is located only a 15/20 minute drive to the famous mountain peak top village of San Pellegrino with its mummified saints and incredible views.
Whilst a walkers paradise and set in the depths of the countryside, there is not a feeling of isolation at this farmhouse and the house is only a 10 minute drive or so from what is often described as the best restaurant in the area, at Pieve Fosciana, which also boasts, shops, banks, bars, restaurants, and the most gorgeous delicatessen with take way home made traditional Italian food.

“Maximum relaxation, great place for nature, walks and farniente”
We stayed at "Elicriso" with a large family of 2 adults, 4 teeenagers and a 10-year old. It was a great stay in all respects. The location is beautiful: on the way to a small hamlet (Prunecchio), itself 1 km away from a picturesque village (Chiozza), on the side of the mountain, with great/relaxing views on the valleys, the small villages and the Alpi Apuane. Peace and quiet. The house is also conveniently located for various hikes/treks, either down to Castiglione di Garfagnana, around the villages or up the Appenines (after a 15-20 minutes car ride) from San Pellegrino in Alpe and various passes. The house itself is very well-renovated, respecting the 'traditional' style. The rooms are spacious, the beds large and comfortable. All equipments are fine, and the house is _very_ well kept (very clean and orderly). The swimming pool is very relaxing and fresh after a day of walks or visits. A special 'plus' to the owner and her assistant Fabiana for great service -- very hospitable, responsive and helpful. We had the unfortunate experience of a mechanical problem with our car (quite a problem in the mountains!), and she helped us out through a local mechanic etc. So: very nice, authentic place. This house is a great place to stay and relax. Nature is all around, and wildlife is also close by -- on a quiet morning we saw a large male deer very close to the house. Naturally, being up on the mountain means that driving times to cities are longer. Count 1 hour for Lucca (great city!) & 1h 30 mins for Pisa; also 1h30 to the seaside. Some convenient supermarkets are down in the valley -- a 15 mins car ride. We very much recommend Elicriso!

“Perfect Tuscan retreat with fabulous views”
We (me, husband and two twenty something children) had a fabulous week in this lovely, spacious house in the Tuscan mountains. We were warmly welcomed to the property by the owner who lived close by and who was a valuable source of information and advice. The house had all we could wish for and more, including a lovely pool with the most fabulous views of the mountains. The village was a short walk up the hill and had a great bar/restaurant for eat in or take away pizzas. The wild life was great - wild boar, deer, foxes and enchanting fire flies. There were plenty of places to visit, though we spent most of our time lazing by the pool in the sun. The Lucca festival was on and we had a great evening there at a Paolo Nutini concert in the central square - an unexpected bonus. I would not hesitate to recommend this property.
