À propos de cet hébergement

Belle ferme en pierre de trois étages près de Lucques, Toscane

Casa nella Selva est une ferme en pierre de trois étages à une demi-heure au nord de Lucques, dans la vallée de la rivière Serchio. La maison surplombe la ville de Borgo a Mozzano, avec une vue panoramique sur les coteaux couverts de vignes, des grappes de fermes et les spectaculaires montagnes Appenine et Apuan au loin.

Une terrasse bordée de plantes s'étend sur toute la longueur de la maison, avec une grande table en pierre pour les repas en plein air ombragée par une pergola rose et feuille de vigne. Il y a aussi une salle d'ombre en pierre couverte de vigne pour s'asseoir à l'extérieur à midi.

Il y a un grand four à pizza en plein air pour les cuisiniers ambitieux, un approvisionnement inépuisable de romarin, de basilic et de sauge du printemps à la fin octobre. Il y a plusieurs petits jardins fleuris sur la propriété, une deuxième petite terrasse pour lire tranquillement et un hamac dans les bois pour les siestes de l'après-midi.

Une ferme de châtaigniers en activité jusqu'à la fin des années 1980, la maison a toujours ses poutres en châtaignier d'origine et est meublée simplement et confortablement avec un mélange de pièces de campagne, dont beaucoup sont originales à la maison. Il y a des sols en terre cuite, d'origine ou restaurés, partout, de belles fenêtres et volets en bois, des lampes de lecture appropriées dans toutes les chambres, beaucoup de livres à lire.

Le rez-de-chaussée comprend une cuisine entièrement équipée avec cheminée, une salle à manger / salon qui s'ouvre directement sur la terrasse, une salle de bains carrelée de façon moderne avec une grande cabine de douche en verre et un lave-linge.

Au deuxième étage, trois grandes chambres, dont l'une s'ouvre sur un studio séparé avec Internet haut débit et sans fil qui se prolonge sur la terrasse. Chacune des chambres a un grand lit double (allant de la taille du double américain au roi) et toutes donnent sur la vallée. Il y a aussi une grande salle de bains carrelée de marbre à cet étage, équipée de doubles lavabos, d'une cabine de douche en verre et d'une baignoire géante séparée. Les chambres sont meublées avec des sommiers en fer traditionnel, de nouveaux matelas et de vieux coffres ou armoires en bois. Les serviettes et les draps sont inclus dans le loyer et sont suffisants pour six personnes. (Il y a un supplément de 30 $ par personne supplémentaire.)

Le troisième étage, anciennement le grenier à foin, a été transformé en un espace de vie ouvert, avec une grande table pour dessiner ou des jeux de société, des chaises de lecture confortables, un lit double et une banquette-lit. Ses baies vitrées partagent la même vue que la terrasse.

La commune de Borgo est la principale ville entre Lucques et la Garfagnana, l'une des zones de randonnée les plus belles et les plus populaires d'Italie, et est facilement accessible en voiture ou en transports en commun (trains et bus réguliers depuis Lucques). La population de Borgo est d’environ 8 000 habitants, dont environ la moitié vivent en ville, le reste dans de petits villages ou «frazione» à proximité.

En plus d'un supermarché, la ville regorge d'excellents magasins d'alimentation; vous pouvez trouver du pain frais et des pâtes maison, des fromages pecorino locaux extraordinaires, des fruits et légumes merveilleux, des vins des collines de Lucchese et un peu partout ailleurs. Il y a un marché en plein air le vendredi matin, et des marchés similaires peuvent être trouvés à proximité les mardis, mercredis et samedis. Il existe également un grand nombre de restaurants à prix modeste servant d'excellents plats régionaux dans un rayon de vingt minutes, et un très bon en ville qui est ouvert pour le dîner six jours par semaine, et pour le déjeuner et le dîner le week-end.

La région de Lucques est l'une des dernières parties de la Toscane à être découverte par les touristes, et est ancrée par deux villes particulièrement belles: Lucques elle-même, enfermée dans son mur parfaitement préservé, et Barga, dont les rues étroites et sinueuses bordées d'ocre, de kaki ou les maisons de couleur abricot mènent à une spectaculaire cathédrale en pierre blanche du XIIe siècle qui surplombe les Alpes apuanes. Entre les deux se trouve la ville thermale de Bagni di Lucca, à 15 minutes de Borgo. Borgo lui-même possède deux courts de tennis en terre battue et un magnifique centre de loisirs communautaire avec une piscine de 25 mètres, une piscine séparée pour les tout-petits, un snack-bar et des chaises longues louables pour bronzer.

Les plages de Viareggio et Forte dei Marmi sont à moins d'une heure de route; les villes de Carrare, Pietrasanta, les Cinque Terre et les stations thermales de Montecatini sont toutes des excursions d'une journée faciles. L'un des grands avantages de la maison est son accès facile à Lucques, Pise et Florence. Il est possible de passer la journée à faire du tourisme, à faire des musées et à faire du shopping, tout en étant à la maison à temps pour profiter d'un dîner sur la terrasse.

Les caractéristiques comprennent une cheminée, un téléphone, Internet haute vitesse et sans fil, lave-linge, lave-vaisselle, four extérieur et barbecue.

Les activités à proximité incluent les plages de Viareggio, Forte di Marmi, Tirrenia et Cinque Terre, les antiquités, les visites de jardins et de villas, la randonnée et le trekking. Pour les acheteurs, il y a des marchés fabuleux presque tous les ans de la semaine: dimanche et mercredi matin à Forte di Marmi pour les vêtements haut de gamme, la maroquinerie et le cachemire; Mercredi et samedi à Lucques, pour les articles ménagers, les vêtements bon marché, les sacs, les chaussures et les produits agricoles locaux. Des marchés plus petits ont lieu à Borgo même (vendredi) et à Bagni di Lucca (mercredi et samedi).

A Wonderful Treat of a Tuscan Farmhouse

We stayed at Martha's 25 years ago and planned a reunion October 2024. While many things had been updated and refined, it was the same beautiful place we remembered. What a treat to walk down the trail to the town and explore the lovely streets of Borgo. We couldn't have been happier enjoying the view from the terrace. The beds were very comfortable. If you are so inclined, the pizza oven is a real experience. We made pizzas the last night of our stay and, although it was rainy, it was one of our stay highlights. Can't wait to return - hopefully sooner than another 25 years! Thank you, Martha!

Memorable

We were a group of 4 couple and it could not have been a better place to relax and enjoy friends. The road to the house was challenging but we had no problem after the first time driving it. If you use Google maps it shows the house location being a little short. Just keep driving on the road and when it dead ends you are there. As stated in the instruction it is best to go in the daylight the first time. As for the house it is perfect it had plenty of room for all of us and the out door pizza oven was the hit of the stay. The views are amazing and the best wine in Tuscany is at the bottom of the hill. Marta gave us many suggestions as to places to eat and visit and the town has very nice grocery meat and bakery.

magical

Martha's house is a piece of paradise. Borgo a Mozzano is the perfect place to sit, admire, breathe and do nothing or hop in the car and go to all the small towns around that offer village fairs, music festivals, from the kitch to the fabulous. Don't limit yourself to Lucca (25 minutes easy drive) or Florence (60 minutes cheap train ride from Lucca). Explore! The house itself is amazing. Confortable, clean, every piece of it was renovated in the most perfect taste. And that view! You are all alone in the middle of that hill. But a 5 minutes walk down it will take you to the village swimming pool and community centre where, if you are lucky, you will find beautiful music, like we did, or simply swim while admiring the mountains all around. Paradise is definitely in Garfagnana!

Tuscan Farmhouse

This place is a dream. The drive up is a little hairy, definitely do it in daylight the first time. Its ideally located near Lucca and Bagni di Lucca with the laocal town stocking all provisions. Beautiful views, we spent most of our time sitting outside looking down on the town and across the mountains. The house is really lovely and comfortable, even on extremely hot days thanks to clever shutters and being pressed into the hill. We all felt so relaxed. Even our 14 year old, who are notoriously difficult to impress, stated "it doesnt get much better than this". We ate a lot of tomatoes and cheese and bread, drank delicious wine, swam in the local pool or river when it was hot and then repeated that most days. Tiny bats flew around at night, we could hear the bells from the local town (and the wedding march on sunday morning), it was glorious. Martha is a very responsive host, and did her utmost to support us when we needed an extra night. Highly recommend, you wont regret it.

Loved Casa Nella Selva

What a wonderful experience! When we booked this house, we had very high expectations and we got more than we hoped for. This house is nestled on a hillside looking east-northeast over the village of Borgo a Mazzano and there was literally nothing we needed that wasn’t there. Martha obviously took a lot of time and attention to seeing after that. The house was comfortable and clean and incredibly spacious. The views are spectacular, especially in the morning when the hillside is draped in sunshine, and you can see the majestic Appennines to the north. The kitchen and dining room are spacious but you will be spending most of your time on the outdoor earthen terrace overlooking the valley, Borgo and the Serchio River. They also have an outdoor pizza oven, which we used twice in an 8 night stay to grill chicken and steak and, of course, make pizza. They stocked plenty of firewood. The grounds around the house, and the whole hillside, are filled with olive trees and the occasional chestnut tree. Although it takes about 10-15 minutes to drive to Borgo, it also takes less than 10 to walk there, mainly because it is a short hike down the hillside and a longer route around the ridge to drive down. Borgo is not a tourist town (thankfully) and it has all of the amenities that the local residents insist on. Central among shops you will need is Penny’s market which will have all of the groceries that you don’t pick up at the smaller shops in town. We are hikers and on our first day hiking the area we stumbled on the Devils Bridge, an iconic, many centuries old bridge over the Serchio that you’ve seen in pictures. It was well worth the short walk to the far end of town. We hiked from the house to Cune, Oneta, Borgo and back to the house, a good workout loop of about 10 miles and sufficient to work up a good appetite. We took day trips to the Garfagnana to the north and west and notably the towns of Barga and Castlenuovo di Garfagnana—if you are looking for towns, and countless hikes otherwise. The house is literally on the Gothic Line, the line of occupation by the Germans (to the north) during WWII. There is a small museum in town with artifacts. The house, no doubt saw a lot during those years. Even if you don’t hike, take a short walk to the south and west from the house and you will see the Serchio River Valley, Diecimo and an industrial corridor along the river. Loved every minute. Don’t miss this spectacular location and home!!!

Schönes Haus mit Charme

Wir hatten schöne Tage verbracht. Das Haus liegt toll am Berg mit Blick auf den Ort und die Berge. Der Kontakt mit Martha war nett. Leider war bem Check-in niemand anwesend, nur durch Zufall sind wir an die Schlüssel gekommen. Der Pizzaofen war eine schöne Bereicherung, die wir gerne nutzten. Insgesamt eine coole Unterkunft.

Two families on vacation in Tuscany

Two families, 8 people, we have stayed here for 1 week in August. The house can accommodate 8 people without any problem, it has enough space and has all the necessary utensils, the kitchen is very well equipped. The views from the terrace are beautiful. During the day the road that crosses the town is a bit annoying, because it is quite loud. The owner is very kind and willing to help, on the terrace there was no shade to sit down to eat there, we told her about it and the next day she solved it by putting a cloth over the pergola. In our opinion the house was not clean enough, there were spiderswebs, and spiders, hanging everywhere (under tables, chairs, lamps, sinks, walls, etc). The biggest inconvenience has been that we couldn't get to the house with our car (a Volkswagen Touran). The last 200 meters are not paved and you can only drive without problems with a four-wheel drive (4WD) or 4-by-4. We left the car at the end of the paved area and had to walk with the luggage and the supermarket purchase. Otherwise, the area is beautiful and there are enough things to do.

Borgo a mezzano

Martha is een heel warme gastvrouw. Ze was beschikbaar en geeft veel info over het huis en tips voor lekkere restaurants en adresjes. Wij hadden een superfijne familievakantie! Het huis is heel mooi met charmante meubelen en alles is aanwezig! Het terras heeft een prachtig uitzicht! Locatie is super voor vele uitstappen. De onverharde weg er naartoe is een uitdaging.. avontuurlijk maar haalbaar. Minpuntje: het verkeer (autoweg en treinspoor) vanuit de vallei beneden zijn duidelijk hoorbaar vanop het terras. Zeker een aanrader!

Entspannte Woche

Wir haben die Zeit sehr genossen. Das Haus ist rustikal romantisch und bietet viel Platz zum Kochen, Entspannen und Genießen, besonders Abends auf der Terrasse. Besonders der Holzpizzaofen war ein Highlight und hat uns Erweiterungen des kulinarischen Horizonts geliefert, kleines Manko ist, dass trotz der Abgelegenheit und der damit recht spannenden Anfahrt (mit Camper sogar richtiger Nervenkitzel) die Nähe zur Hauptstraße und Bahnlinie eine überraschende Geräuschkulisse geboten hat. Trotzdem ein tolles Domizil mit guter Küchenaustattung. Danke!!!

The stay of a lifetime

This property is absolutely incredible and our stay there was by far the standout experience of our two week trip to Italy. If you are lucky enough to find availability here, book it!! It is like nothing else you will ever experience. You compromise on nothing, because the place has charm of a centuries-old farmhouse but with modern updates and amenities. It is a totally secluded stay, yet there is a trail that takes you directly into the town Borgo a Mozzano after a 10 minute hike. Follow Martha’s magnificent guide to this area of Tuscany and try to do as much of it as you can. Martha has excellent taste in both her recommendations and her design choices with this estate. Magical all around!

Beautiful rustic farmhouse on the side or the mountain with a breathtaking view

Although the road to the house is a challenge, we all fell in love with the farmhouse and property instantly. I loved cooking in the rustic kitchen and outdoor pizza oven. House was clean, although a bit cluttered. Spent most of our time on the patio having meals and enjoying the views of the town below and the mounting around us. Good size bedrooms and washrooms, all 4 of us were very comfortable. The best part of our day was waking up to the sunshine, coffee on the porch and going back to the house after a day of sightseeing or a day at the beach

Gorgeous View and Wonderful Retreat

We rented this house from Martha for a week-long family trip in the summer. We have 3 boys (15, 13, and 11) and intentionally stayed away from the major tourist attractions. Our intent was to experience an authentic Tuscany getaway, and Martha's house proved to be the perfect launching point for our adventure. The house is incredibly authentic and spacious enough for our family of five. The views are outstanding and Martha's guidance and suggestions were thorough. We spent most days making trips to the surrounding villages, where we consumed gelato, hiked, and swam. Each night was filled with plenty of wine and incredible local food back at the house. As some have mentioned ,the drive to the house is a bit tricky, but well worth the effort. The traffic noise from the valley below was louder than we anticipated, but it didn't detract from the breath-taking views and the fact that you were taking in a quintessential Tuscany vacation. Highly recommend working with Martha to make your Italian getaway a reality.

The view...best part of the whole trip

Hi, my name is Iris and I am 12 years old. I loved the villa down to the last decoration. The home was amazing. One of my favorite things about it was the view. The villa was conveniently located making it easy to take day trips out of the small train station in the town. Hi, my name is Ella and I am 14 years old. The view from this breathtaking house was unreal. Waking up and seeing the picturesque little town Borgo A Mozzano was a once in a lifetime experience. I wish I could go back! My name is Clayton and I'm 17. I cannot emphasize enough how beautiful the view was. This house was a nice break from the touristy metropolitan areas. You are essentially perched up on the side of a mountain so you feel totally secluded, but it is only a 10 min. walk down the mountain to the train station. The home felt rustic and authentic, but had every modern appliance you would need. One of my favorite nights was when we baked our own pizzas in the woodfire oven next to the house! And on our last night we had a four-course meal at the Osteria I Macelli, a 15 min. walk into town. And we are Lisa and Peter, the parents, and we could not have expressed our love for this hidden gem better than our three children!

Forever in our Hearts!

Aaaaaah, Borgo a Mazzano. What a lovely town, rich in it's simplicity. We were SO glad to have chosen to stay in this small town where locals truly LIVE, rather than a touristy metro area. One would be hard pressed to stay in a fast-paced frame of mind here (unless you're driving ...that's a very different story!). To say that this villa made our stay infinitely more memorable would be an understatement. The owner is a joy to work with and a great resource. The house itself is perfect, and has everything needed to cook and relax. 7 of us (3 young adults, one teen, a couple, and a grandmother) stayed quite comfortably. We could easily have accommodated either another couple or another child or two, as one of the rooms went unused until later in the stay while the 'kids' stayed in the AMAZING loft. A side note; if we are able to return, I'm calling dibs on the loft ;) The first morning, we older folk awoke to a full brunch of local meats, cheeses, fruits, and breads from the town shops; bounty from the kids' earlier walk down the hill. We enjoyed our first cups of Italian coffee a'la the stovetop moka pot, with added local honey, while overlooking the breathtaking view. It was HEAVEN! Later in the vacation, we went wine tasting and let me just say that the view from the villa was even more gorgeous than any vineyard we photographed. We had a photo enlarged for a large wall at home. Our time was spent traversing up and down the hill for our daily workout (don't forget the bug repellent), drinking wine (the wine shop in Borgo has vino on tap), training into Lucca (bike rental is highly recommended), venturing to neighboring towns, drinking and eating in various bars (aperetivo served happy hour style at many places), day tripping into Firenze (don't drive there - seriously), drinking local liqueurs and beers, exploring Cinque Terre (Oh My God, just beautiful!!), more wine, snacking on grapes (the terrace vines themselves make a great photo op), cooking over the fire (yes - cooking locally handmade sausage skewers over a roaring fire in the kitchen), and the kids even spent a full weekend in Rome. Two weeks was just enough to leave us wanting more. Our family matriarch, my mother, stayed the entire month accompanied by my nephew, and after my departure my sisters moved in for 2 weeks. Everyone wants to return :) There was rain, so I would like to spend a summer or maybe a spring there someday to get that experience. Until then, Gracie Mille!!!!

Unforgettable

Thank you for a wonderful month in your home! The six of us enjoyed every single day relaxing and exploring all there is to do in this beautiful region. Every morning I would wake at sunrise, prepare coffee in the Moka Pot and head to the terrace to watch the sunrise over those mountains...spectacular view...unforgettable! We enjoyed meandering down the trail from the house into town and hopping the train to Lucca. Lucca is a fabulous city...so much fun and so much to explore and eat! The highlights for us were cooking with Chef Paolo Monti and the walking tour with Wanda...both were sensational. We also enjoyed numerous hikes in those gorgeous mountains...the vistas were breathtaking and the wild flowers were at their peak. Rarely did we encounter anyone when hiking the trails and we were always rewarded with a serenade from the cuckoo bird! We loved everything about your charming house. There was plenty of room for six adults spending a month together. The kitchen suited us perfectly, and allowed us to prepare many delicious meals from local ingredients. We loved the beautiful old bowls and fine linens. It was so much fun making pizza in the outdoor oven...we never tired of dining on the terrace. And oh, the roses...everywhere, beautiful and scented. Thank you for keeping your farmhouse a home! Trisha and Bill, Marcia and Rick, Marolyn and Bruce

Just fabulous

Martha's home above Borgo is truly one of the loveliest we've ever stayed in. Beautifully restored, exceptionally comfortable, fabulous gardens and a view not to be believed. The kitchen is fully stocked -- you can actually make excellent multi-course meals (at least we did!), the beds are excellent and the dining area is charming. The road up is dicey, but quickly becomes second nature, and the walk down (which we preferred) is doable even for aging boomers (2 out of the four of us). Borgo itself has several good eateries (the little pizza place in town is great) and it's really easy into Lucca (try Rest. Giglio -- fantastic). We are well travelled folks, and recommend this house unreservedly.

Our stay in Borgo!

My husband and young daughter stayed here with our family for a one week stay. From the moment we walked in...or should I say down onto the terrace...we were in heaven. It was so peaceful and beautiful. The terrace in the evening was a wonderful way to unwind and then later eat a homemade meal. The whole house was clean and comfortable and well suited for our large group. We had a very memorable visit here. The nearby town was so charming and had everything we needed including a very nice pool! A short, easy drive to Lucca for shopping, lunch/dinner too. The owner was so sweet and helpful leading up to our stay as well as keeping contact while we were there. We came home and told everyone to visit this area and stay at the lovely villa.

Total comfort, total beauty

We were able to settle into this beautiful farmhouse immediately. As travelers that love to visit local vendors and cook for ourselves, the kitchen was our first stop. It passed muster on all counts. The bedrooms all faced the views beyond of the valley; the common spaces inside and outside were all charming and comfortable for gathering throughout the day. The house is lovingly full of local art. And as a location to 'sally forth' by car or train, it was perfect! We took day trips to Cinque Terre, Lucca, Firenze and north into the Garfagnana. And we were so happy to get back 'home' at the end of the day. I have been recommending this choice to many of our friends and family.

The PERFECT setting with Spectacular Views!

My fiancée and I took a small group of family to Borgo and used Casa nella Selva as our base from which to explore the area where my grandfather was from, to experience a more relaxing (and more beautiful) Tuscany, oh....and to get married at the house!! From the moment we arrived we knew that the weeks (months, really) we spent researching villas had paid off. We didn't need anything too formal. We were looking for authentic old world architecture and setting, privacy, outdoor living space, and we wanted a killer view. These were among our top priorities. The understated elegance and charming character of this modest yet very comfortable and updated farm house was exactly what we were looking for. The outdoor living space on the terrace was perfect, and the view was absolutely stellar! The house itself is very comfortable and well appointed. However, we spent most of our "house time" relaxing, drinking wine, and dining out on the terrace overlooking the mountains and river below. This is where we had a simple wedding ceremony with just 5 people, yet it was more beautiful, more magical, more real than we could have ever hoped for in some large pretentious venue back in the US with a bunch of distant relatives and acquaintances. It was perfect! Martha was great in helping us arrange everything. She's very quick to respond and thorough in communications. She even helped us line up group transportation for one of the days. The booklet of house instructions provided covered just about everything you could think of! The road to the house does get narrow and somewhat tricky. The first passage is a bit nerve racking, and should be done in the daylight, but by the end of the week the road becomes 2nd nature, and in a strange way, it's part of the charm of the entire experience. Highly recommended. We'll be back!

We were so fortunate to find, on VRBO, Martha's beautiful, clean, spacious farmhouse in Tuscany when we wanted to show our grandchildren, Sydonia, Olivia, Ida and Alberto Lucchesi the land of the birth of their ancestors (Lucca). We were as well celebrating the marriage of our youngest son. Although the brides parents and we, the grooms parents, slept in cozy places nearby, we took all our meals and family fun at the roomy "main" house. We rode the convenient train to many of the well known cities nearby... and some beautiful not so well known places! It was FABULOUS.... and Martha a wonderful hostess! Summer 2008
