Views from the living room window take your gaze to the mountain range opposite, with the occasional eagle circling above.

The living room, with chestnut beams, terracotta tiles, a piano, guitars and many books and games, is a great place to relax, whether it is after a busy day sightseeing in Lucca, doing adventure activities in Garfagnana, or quietly watching the sun move round the mountain side from the comfort of the sofa. Working from home is catered for with a stylish desk and shelf space, an ergonomic kneeling stool and a monitor available. 50 metres down the alley around the side of the house from the kitchen, you will find the terraced garden looking out over village houses to the mountainside, capturing the afternoon sun as it moves round. Use the picnic baskets to carry your lunch or aperitivo there, and enjoy the views. The barbecue, long table and benches, umbrella and natural shade from the tree make this a perfect place for a lazy afternoon. Registration details IT046015C2L29OPEVR
