About the Area
My house rises on a wonderful naturalistic area in Tuscany: the Garfagnana valley between the Alpi Apuane and the Apennine Tosco-Emiliano.
The wonderful landscape, studded with small towns, churches and forts will characterise your trips during a fascinating travel to discover the local culture and natural environments.
It is an ideal spot for those looking for a peaceful break, with good local shops, food and wine, walks in the woods and magnificent views.
The Village of Corsagna, municipality of Borgo a Mozzano, is in a wonderful position if you want to visit the main cities of art in Tuscany and the coast: the town of Lucca is reachable in only 30 minutes and the Versilia Coast in 50 minutes as well as the Abetone, the most important sky resort of the area.
In Corsagna, in addition to food and household goods stores, you can find the historic family restaurant Branduzzi known for its tortelli and its wood-fired pizzas.
The house also offers a highly professional service of personal well-being through close collaboration with the Terme of Bagni di Lucca.
