Al Monte is located at an altitude of 400 meters in the hills above Partigliano, an authentic and typical Italian village. The 200 year old property is surrounded by olive and fruit trees, and has a fantastic view of the village and the valley below.

The owners renovated the house in 2007, which now offers comfortable accommodation for six to eight in a unique location. Although Al Monte kept its authentic charm on the outside, with walls made from local stone and an authentic bread oven, on the inside it is a comfortable family home.

Al Monte is situated in a tranquil rural location surrounded by woodlands and open countryside. It enjoys stunning views. The house can be reached by a paved track of a few hundred meters from the main road.

Due to its location the house is not suitable for the disabled and young children (under 6).

The house offers a large eat in kitchen with extra large fridge freezer, cooker and dishwasher, as well as a pleasant beamed living room with scandinavian woodburner. There are four double bedrooms, two with large antique beds and one with a sofabed, and a newly renovated bathroom with shower and toilet. The bathroom also includes a washing machine. All rooms have views of the valley below. Adjoining the kitchen there is a large terrace with alfresco dining area seating ten.

Slightly higher in the grounds of approx 1 acre there is a private swimming pool (10x5, depth 1.20-1.80) with spectacular views. It is surrounded by its own terrace and has a separate pool house with shower and toilet. The pool is open from mid May to end of September.

Al Monte, as its name indicates, is situated in the hills above the scenic village of Partigliano (200 inhabitants), near Borgo a Mozzano.

Partigliano is centrally located with easy access to Lucca (18 km), a famous medieval walled city. Lucca is a very lively typical Italian town, where Italians and tourists mingle in a pleasant manner without it getting too crowded. It offers walks and bike rides in a park which is laid out on top of the old walls. There are lovely views over the town below with its churches, squares, palaces, gardens and quaint streets.

Every summer the Lucca Summer Festival takes place in Lucca with many famous and less famouw artists. Tickets are available prehand at: www.summer-festival.com.

Other well known towns in the area include Pisa, Florence, Bagni di Lucca with its thermal baths and San Giuliano Terme. Torre del Lago and the villa of the famous composer Giacomo Puccini are well worth a visit. Since the 1930’s an open air Opera Festival is held on the waterfront in the summer.

Beachlovers are spoilt for choice with Viareggio, Forte dei Marmi and the more laid back beach of Migliarino near Pisa within easy reach.

The area borders the Garfagnana, a lesser known region with mountains, woodlands streams and authentic villages. The Garfagnana includes three areas of outstanding natural beauty and the highest peak of Tuscany, the Monte Prado (2.054 meters). It is excellent for walks and biking and for visiting small towns like Barga or Castelnuovo.

Plenty of local information, including books, guides, leaflets and brochures on local history, culture, tourist attractions and activities, can be found in the house.
