Two Apartments, Private Pool, Walk to Village Restaurants, Sleeps 12, Great view

Cigiano di Sotto is a good-value, rustic Tuscan farmhouse offering two apartments rented together exclusively, ideal for families or groups travelling together. The property sleeps up to 12 guests, has a large private swimming pool, and is within easy walking distance of the medieval village of Castiglione di Garfagnana, with restaurants, cafés, shops, and a weekly market.

Set on a working farm in the Garfagnana countryside, the location is quiet and peaceful, but not isolated. You get the space and views of rural Tuscany, with village life just a short walk away.

The farmhouse is divided into two separate three-bedroom apartments, each with:

- 2 double bedrooms
- 1 twin bedroom
- A modern bathroom
- Open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area, fully equipped for self-catering

The apartments are simple, spacious, and practical rather than luxury, making this an excellent choice for guests looking for authentic Tuscany at a sensible price.

Outside, there is a large courtyard with barbecue facilities and plenty of space for eating outdoors. A shaded dining area looks out towards the surrounding mountains. The private swimming pool (14m x 5m) has a wide sun terrace and open views towards the Apuan Alps.

Please note: the pool is located approximately 30 metres from the apartments, positioned to the side of the main farmhouse rather than directly beside them.

The owner, Sergio, and his family live and work on the farm and are nearby if needed, while still respecting guests’ privacy.

This property suits guests who want:

- Space for larger groups
- A private pool
- Walking access to a real Tuscan village
- A peaceful countryside setting
- Good value rather than high-end luxury
