Tranquil rural location

This lovingly restored hillside property is in a tranquil setting offering fantastic views over the surrounding mountains and valleys. The property is spacious and with a large garden there are lots of opportunities to relax in comfort. Maintained and equipped to a high standard the property is likely to exceed expectations. During winter months access to the property may be difficult due to the remoteness of the hamlet.

Spectacular location

Perched on the side of a mountain-top village, with its labyrinthine arched lanes and tucked-away houses, Casa Nirvana is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the scenery. The terrace/garden is beautiful with stunning views and the house was clean, bright with plenty of space and everything we needed (even Cluedo and chess!). Highly recommend.

La tranquillité en montagne

Après des séjours dans des villes et des centres urbains, cette propriété est l’endroit idéal pour relaxer et décompresser. Les vues depuis les chambres sont splendides. L’appartement est propre et frais. C’est aussi un bon pied à terre pour faire des voyages de jour sur la côte. Attention, mieux vaut aimer la conduite dans des routes étroites et sinueuses en montagne pour séjourner dans cette villa - c’est ce qui fait le charme du retour à la villa en fin de journée. L’épicerie dans la municipalité Aulla, à 15 minutes de conduite, propose une foule de petits plats du terroir. De plus, Colette est adorable. Je n’hésiterais pas à revenir y séjourner .

About the host

Hosted by Gillian Osborne

We live on a smallholding in rural North Yorkshire and we share our UK home with Biba the Labrador, Delilah the Norfolk Terrier, Wilma Beagle, Mr Binx, Mrs Peacock, Isabella and Skye the cats, 3 horses, 2 highland cattle, a collection of geese and hens & a small flock of sheep! Life is not dull. It's not quite "The Good Life" because we don't live off the land, but we love the countryside and the idiosyncrasies of life in a country village. We have a long standing love of Italy. There is a passion about the way Italians do things; their food, their wine, their love of family, their style. The country is so historically and culturally rich. We originally set out to buy a holiday home but inevitably we have put down some Italian roots & Casa Nirvana is truly our second home.

Why they chose this property

The food, wine, climate and culture were the reasons why we chose to buy another home in Tuscany, Italy. But there are so many beautiful areas in Tuscany that it took us a while to figure out precisely where we wanted to be. It had to be somewhere not too commercialised or touristy, somewhere that felt authentically Italian and somewhere easily accessible by road and air, because difficult travel arrangements would be a disincentive to popping over for short stays. We spent a long time looking at various properties, initially in the Garfagnana, but nothing seemed right. Then we found Lunigiana and instinctively knew this was the place. It has the coast, the mountains, a rich cultural heritage and such natural beauty. We felt at home.

What makes this property unique

Having decided to focus our search on properties in Lunigiana, we set about drawing up a list of all the things that were important to us in our holiday home. Most of the houses and apartments just have terraces, but we definitely wanted a garden. Somewhere to put the sun lounger, the paddling pool and the football. Secondly, although we were not looking to have purely beach or skiing holidays, we wanted the option of spending a day at the coast or on the piste, without having to travel too far. We also wanted to be within an hour of an airport, central for sightseeing and handy for amenities. But we also yearned for somewhere peaceful and relaxing, where we could unwind and immerse ourselves in genuine Italian culture. Casa Nirvana ticked all the boxes on our very tall order!
