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.

Amazing Location
Elcriso is wonderful and we didn’t want to leave. We were a group of friends who stayed for one month. The view from the terrace is incredible, the pool delightful and the house quite comfortable. Angelina provided meals on a number of occasions - her lasagne is the best! Angelina and the Villa rental company were very helpful throughout the month.

Fantastic view and beautiful property
Situated up the mountain close to a small town Chiozza, the place is amazing for a perfect Tuscan holiday. Well equiped and spacious even for a large family. High points for the swimming pool.

Perfect for two families
We had a wonderful stay and enjoyed Angelas generous help. The house is ideal for two families and could easily accomodate nine people. The location is very beautiful with nice scenic views and tugged away from other tourists. 15 minutes drive up and down the moutain and you are in Castelnuovo with its grocery shops etc. We arrived very late in the evening and in the dark you have to drive carefully otherwise you might miss the right way downhill. Thanks to Angela for your hospitality and your really great meals. We enjoyed everything a lot!

Emplacement incroyable, tres belles prestations!
Precedente location via airbnb ecourtee et remboursee (descriptif en inadéquation avec ce qu'on a trouvé à notre arrivée), nous avons retrouvé dans l'urgence cette propriété incroyable qui a correspondu en tous points à nos attentes : de tres beaux volumes interieurs, une cuisine tres bien equipee, une tres belle piscine privative et une vue à couper le souffle sur la montagne. Et pour couronner le tout, une communication exemplaire avec notre hote . On sent les personnes qui ont envie de faire plaisir!!! Encore merci pour la douce attention du depart! On a eu beaucoup de chance de vous trouver sur Abritel👍

Immersion en pleine nature
Une maison typique en pleine nature vous accueille aux petits soins! Nous avons beaucoup apprécié les paysages a couper le souffle, la fraicheur des murs, le village très accueillant et la piscine nickel. La maison est très bien équipée et la propriétaire très sympatique. Je recommande le service traiteur "come a casa" qu'elle propose, un régal! Je recommande ce séjour à toute personne qui souhaite des vacances reposantes. Merci Angela, une semaine de vacances qui en vaut 2!

Zomervakantie 2023
Wij hebben een prachtige vakantie gehad. Een mooie locatie, een mooi huis met zwembad die iedere avond wordt schoongemaakt door de eigenaren die ook erg vriendelijk zijn. Tussen het zwembad en het terras zit een hekje voor de veiligheid. Voor de kleintjes is er een waterbak met een douche waar ze zich prima mee kunnen vermaken. Het enige nadeel vonden wij dat het qua afstand minimaal een uur rijden was om stadjes te bezoeken. In km is het niet ver maar door de bergpaadjes doe je er veel langer over.

Ferie i smukke omgivelser
Ferieboligen levede fuldt ud op til beskrivelse og billeder. Oppe på bjerget, lå det hyggelige hus, med skøn swimmingpool og udendørsområde. Det var muligt at være ude hele tiden. Og der var fin plads til vores familie. Huset havde alt hvad vi skulle bruge. Ejeren ydede super service med bla. masser af håndklæder, muligheder for at vaske i vaskemaskinen og så blev poolen gjort rent hver dag. Meget imponerende. Det var et dejligt område, der summede af italienere, og vi mærkede den italienske stemning i Chiozza. Det eneste vi ikke havde helt regnet med, det var at bo så langt oppe på bjerget, betød at det tog noget tid at køre ned til indkøbsmulighederne. Tak for en dejlig ferie i Chiozza.

Ah! Da ist es ja….
Wer Abgeschiedenheit und Erholung sucht, ist hier genau richtig. Das geräumige Haus ist sehr sauber und ordentlich und liegt auf einem terrassenförmig angelegten Gelände. Der Blick in die toskanische Berg- und Talwelt bleibt unvergesslich. Die kleine Bar, oberhalb des Hauses in Chiozza hält das Nötigste fürs Frühstück bereit und an mehreren Abenden bietet sie auch typische Antipasti der Toskana an, ein paar Fleischgerichte und natürlich unzählige Pizzen. Bei Angela, der Besitzerin des Hauses, kann man mehrmals die Woche ein sehr leckeres , hausgemachtes Menü bestellen. Und wer unbedingt selbst kochen möchte, erreicht nach ca. 6 km den nächsten Supermarkt. Wir- 6 Freunde- haben hier 2 Wochen Sonnenschein, blauen Himmel und einen gepflegten Pool sehr genossen. Ausflüge in die nähere Umgebung und nach Lucca gehörten natürlich auch dazu.
