House Oleander in Tuscany - Bigliolo- Sonnig

Escape to our cozy cottage in Tuscany. Ideal for up to 6 people, the house offers four tastefully furnished rooms, a fully equipped kitchen and a large garden to relax. The house is quiet, surrounded by nature, with hiking trails right outside the door. Enjoy the proximity to cities such as Pisa, Lucca and the Cinque Terre, all within an hour. Perfect for nature lovers and culture lovers – here you can relax. The space You can use the entire property of 130 sqm of living space except for 1 room on the ground floor and the tool shed in the garden. Both rooms are not shown in the photos. We fulfilled our dream in 2023 and acquired our unique "Oleander House" with garden in Tuscany and have not regretted it for a second. We have been spending our vacations there ever since and discover something new every season. When we are not there, we welcome you as our guests. Enjoy your time in Bigliolo and discover the region. Whether by bike on the hilly streets of Lunigiana, by the sea or in the mountains. Whether alone or with children. Whether young or old. The region offers a lot of activities for all ages. Have a lot of fun in our property. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. Kind regards, Márcia and Wolfram Accommodation and nearby surroundings as well as shopping: Look forward to our sunny semi-detached house in Bigliolo with very nice views, balcony, terrace and garden. On 130 square meters of living space you have 2 living rooms and 2 bedrooms with enough space during the day and at night. Take a day trip from Aulla by train via La Spezia to the world-famous Cinque Terre or visit Pisa. On the way to Pisa, you can also make a stop by the sea, such as in Massa. Or enjoy the day in the accommodation in the large garden or on the balcony or on the terrace. Right from the house, in just 3 minutes' walk, you can reach a small stream where you can cool off wonderfully even in summer. If you continue over the stream, you will reach a beautifully located church in the forest in 5 minutes. From the house you can also reach a beautiful small waterfall in the forest in 40 minutes by foot or 3 minutes by car (to be found on Google as a sight). Alternatively, you can reach the larger Bozzi delle Fate waterfall in about 40 minutes by car, where a 20-minute hike awaits you. Both waterfalls are ideal, especially in warm weather, as the forest and water provide a wonderful cooling off. At the larger waterfall there is a small pool for swimming. Shopping opportunities: There are no shops within Bigliolo. Pallerone is less than 10 minutes away by car. There is a Conad (cheap supermarket with everything), a pharmacy and a hardware store right next to each other, as well as a pizzeria and a commercial area with a gas station. In Aulla there is an even larger Conad and even a heavily frequented large Lidl. Accommodation and other surroundings: A highlight is Lake Gramolazzo, which is very beautiful and about 40 minutes by car from the house. For mountain hikes there are many possibilities in the surroundings of 45 min by car. On the Komoot app you will find a suitable hike. If you arrive by bicycle, you can leave from the house. The landscape is hilly. There are a lot of tours, so I like to refer to the Komoot app. Pisa and Lucca can be reached in about 50 minutes by car. This year we were on the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Everyone liked it. The view from above is very nice. The beaches of Massa (Tuscany), Lerici, Marinella di Sarzana and La Spezia (Liguria) are also about 50 minutes away. Not far away is Carrara with its famous marble mountains, where you can take an off-road tour. From there you have a breathtaking view over the sea. The charming town of Sarzana with many cafes is also worth a visit. From the train station in Aulla, just 15 minutes by car from the house, you can take a train to La Spezia (a city worth seeing by the sea) and from there take a train to the Cinque Terre (known worldwide). A trip by car to the Cinque Terre takes approx. 60 minutes (to one of the 5 villages), however, I recommend the train (Cinque Terre Ticket), as the streets are narrow and crowded in summer and the journey from one village to another by car takes a lot of time (in addition to parking fees, if you get a parking space at all). It is best to leave early in the morning, Cinque Terre is a full-day excursion. Other places worth seeing in the area are the Stretti di Giaredo (Pontremoli, approx. 45 minutes by car) and the freely accessible beach "Le Dune" in Forte dei Marmi (about 50 minutes by car). Further up in the description of the accommodation you will find information on what you can do on foot from the house. Guest access You can use the entire accommodation of 130 square meters of living space except for 1 room on the ground floor and the equipment house in the garden. Both rooms are not seen in the photos. The upper floor is accessible via an external staircase and an internal staircase.

Address: The address is: House Oleander Via Casa Rotaia 3 54011 Bigliolo MS Note for arrival: Via Casa Rotaia 3 is not located on Google Maps! Therefore, please enter your navigation device as follows: It is best to enter the public parking lot as your destination: Via Antonio Meucci, 49, 54011 Bigliolo MS, Italy (Public parking is located on Google Maps.) Parking: When you reach the parking lot, please follow the small road (slightly uphill). After the first slight left turn (after the first house) directly to the left on the street, you will see the beginning of the black metal fence, which is about one meter above the street on the left and already belongs to the property. A few meters further on is the very narrow entrance with the black gate. Please open this gate. Then you can drive to the house. Please notice: The driveway is very narrow. Please drive with extra caution! However, with an SUV/small car/medium class car, you can easily get up if you pay attention to the following: Accelerate only slightly in the curve and keep slightly to the right in front of the gate. Please note the curve so you can better navigate the left turn. At the end of the ramp, in front of the transition from concrete to lawn, please accelerate strongly, especially in the rain (otherwise the wheels will spin with front-wheel drive, and in the worst case you will not get up completely!). Once you are on the lawn with the front wheels, please reduce your speed. You can then park upstairs on the lawn by the house (preferably on the left). There is enough space for two cars on the left. If required, a third car can park on the right. When you go down again, please drive very slowly and pay attention to the stones at the top. Adequately swerve below for the right turn. If you park on the ramp, please secure your vehicle well. With a motorhome, Sprinter or very long station wagon, the curve to the entrance to the yard is too narrow. Please park in the public parking lot and walk up. For loading and unloading, you can of course drive up to the entrance to the courtyard, stop on the street and then drive back to the parking lot and park there. Enclosed you will find a picture of the property of Haus Oleander and the driveway (you can park at the end of the arrow). Note on the outdoor cameras: The outdoor area and entrance area will be monitored briefly upon arrival to assist with the check-in process. After that, all cameras will be deactivated. Upon request, the outdoor cameras can be reactivated during your stay. If you have any questions, please contact us. We wish you a pleasant journey and are sure that you will enjoy your stay with us in beautiful Tuscany! Warm regards, Wolfram & Marcia Registration Details IT045001C2USYYR3R3
