Known as “the green island of Tuscany”, the Garfagnana is a splendid valley that has maintained its own history and strong identity over time, even though it is close to important historical centers such as Lucca, Pisa, Florence and the glamorous Versilia.
This hidden corner of Tuscany, which houses the charming medieval borgo of Castiglione di Garfagnana, with its fortress, massive walls and towers, has always been a land of farmers, shepherds, woodsmen and quarrymen animated by a deep respect for the nature. In this splendid setting, surrounded by an atmosphere of peace and relaxation, you will be guests of a beautiful farmhouse located within a certified organic farm where ancient fruit trees are grown, and everything is in the name of sustainability. You will meet the cheesemaker and the sommelier and taste delicious local cheeses paired with excellent wines. You will be guided on a beautiful trekking excursion among charming villages and the most beautiful paths of the Garfagnana.
