Casa Villetta – Private Pool Villa Walking Distance to Restaurants
Casa Villetta –Two Apartments With Private Pool & Walking Distance to Restaurant
The garden is one of the most distinctive features of the property. It is sheltered by a large natural rock typical of the surrounding villages, covered in wild flowers and giving the space a unique atmosphere and excellent privacy. The mature garden includes olive trees, rosemary bushes and several areas to sit, dine or relax throughout the day.
The property is a couple of minutes walk to 2 restaurants, a cafe/bar and shop, making this property ideally located for those who don't always want to drive.
Both apartments have been renovated to a good standard in a traditional Tuscan style. They are simply but comfortably decorated, with practical layouts that work well for groups who want separate sleeping spaces and the flexibility of two kitchens and two living areas.
Apartment 1, set on the ground floor, sleeps 2–4 people. It has an open-plan kitchen, living and dining room with a double sofa bed, a tiled bathroom, and a double bedroom. Apartment 2 is larger and set over two floors. The ground floor contains the kitchen, dining and living area with a double sofa bed, while the first floor has the bathroom and a bedroom that sleeps 3 people. This apartment also has a generous first-floor terrace overlooking the rock and pool — a quiet, shaded spot ideal for reading, evening drinks or an afternoon rest.
The private swimming pool uses blue/black tiles, which help the water stay a few degrees warmer than standard pools. Guests have the use of an outhouse with two washing machines and a dryer. Outdoor furniture, a BBQ and plenty of shaded areas make this property particularly comfortable in the warmer months.

Property Information
The apartments are located in Villetta, a village known for having one of the best views in Tuscany. The setting is peaceful and friendly, with a bar, a couple of shops, and an excellent restaurant/pizzeria owned by the same family who own the apartments.
Guests can walk there in just a few minutes, and the warm hospitality makes it a popular choice with visitors.
A wild swimming spot is only a 10-minute walk away, ideal on hot summer days. The apartments sit just above the local church, and the access road is narrow in the traditional Tuscan style.
The wider Garfagnana region is an area of outstanding natural beauty, often referred to as one of the last untouched parts of Tuscany. It is known for dramatic mountain scenery, forested valleys, medieval villages and superb walking routes. Garfagnana is considered the best area in Tuscany for walking, offering everything from gentle trails to more challenging ridge routes in the Apuan Alps and Apennines.
The region is also well known for its excellent value restaurants, many of which use local chestnuts, mushrooms, cheeses, cured meats and seasonal vegetables. A typical set lunch with multiple choices of pasta and main course usually costs €12-15 including bread, wine and coffee.
Traditional multi-course Sunday lunches or dinners with wine, coffee and liqueurs can be enjoyed for around €40, making eating out one of the pleasures of staying here.
Outdoor enthusiasts will find plenty of options nearby. Friends of Tuscany have strong links with a respected outdoor activity company offering guided walks, climbing, mountain biking, canoeing and world-class gorge walking. There are also several horse-riding stables in the local area, making it easy to plan activities for families and mixed groups.
