Specific information about property
Casa nella Selva is a three-story stone farmhouse a half hour north of Lucca, in the Serchio River Valley. The house sits on the side of a hill overlooking the town of Borgo a Mozzano, with a beautiful panoramic view of vineyard-covered hillsides, clusters of farmhouses and the spectacular Appenine and Apuan Mountains in the distance.
A plant lined terrace runs the length of the house. There is a large stone table for dining, as well as a vine-covered stone shade room for sitting outdoors at midday.
There is a large outdoor oven (forno) for ambitious cooks, an inexhaustible supply of rosemary, basil, and sage from spring through the end of October. There are several small flower gardens on the property, a second small terrace for sunbathing, and a hammock in the woods for afternoon naps.
A working chestnut farm into the late 1980s, the house still has its original chestnut beams, and is simply and comfortably furnished with a mix of country pieces, including many original to the house. There are terracotta floors, original or restored, throughout, beautiful wooden windows and shutters, proper reading lamps in all the bedrooms, lots of leftover books to read.
The ground floor includes a fully-equipped kitchen with fireplace, a dining/sitting room that opens directly onto the terrace, a modern-tiled bathroom with large glass stall shower and a washing machine.
On the second floor are three large bedrooms, one of which opens into a separate studio equipped with desk and high speed internet connection. Each of the bedrooms has a large double bed (ranging in size from American double to king) and all overlook the valley. There is also a large bathroom on this floor with double sinks, separate tub, and a glass stall shower. The bedrooms are furnished with traditional iron bedsteads, new mattresses, and old wooden chests or armoires. Towels and linens are included in the rent and are ample for eight people.
The third floor, formerly the hayloft, has been converted into an open living space, with a large table for sketching or board games, comfortable reading chairs, a day bed/sofa that sleeps one, and a platform bed that sleeps two. Its floor-to-ceiling windows share the same view as the terrace.
