A Rustic Retreat in Beautiful North Tuscany
    

Andy and Claudina welcome you to Alle Borre a beautifully renovated and tradititional and querky 260-year-old farmhouse. It is set in 5 acres of meadow and sweet chestnut forests overlooking the Serchio river valley below.

The Farmhouse contains four apartments, all apartments boast original chestnut-beamed ceilings and face the valley, giving incredible views and overlooking the small pretty village of Torrite, a beautiful walk of 3kms, where there is a small supermarket and bakery for fresh bread every morning.
Cerretoli is our nearest village, perched on the hill behind the house, a 20-minute walk away. It has a wonderful trattoria, serving traditional Tuscan cuisine.

An ideal location and very peaceful, - The house is perched on the hillside just 4km from the market town of Castelnuovo with its various shops, bars, restaurants, railway station, and lively market on Thursday. Just 1hr north of medieval Lucca - enjoy a day pottering in the market, exploring the designer shops, or walking/cycling around the enormous walls which are still fully intact and encircle the entire town; 15 minutes from the medieval town of Barga famed for it’s art and culture;

2hrs from Florence celebrated as the most beautiful city in Italy, and one hr from the coast. The real beauty of the area is the breathtaking countryside, the endless walks, the hill top villages to explore and the tranquility.
