In Cigiano di Sotto there are 2 three bedroom apartments, within a large farmhouse, rented exclusively together on a traditional Tuscan farm. The farm is on the edge of the medieval walled village of Castiglione which was recently voted as one of the loveliest villages in Italy, Castiglione has a restaurant, 3 cafes and small shops.

In each of the roomy apartments there are 2 double bedrooms and 1 twin bedroom. The apartments also have roomy lounge / dining / kitchen areas, fully equipped with modern utilities, and a modern bathroom in each. There is also a lovely shaded outdoor dining space with lovely views of the mountains.

There is also an office room, with internet access.

There is a large courtyard, good for eating outside with BBQ. The pool is a large 14 metres by 5 metres with a large sun terrace and fantastic views of the spectacular Apuane Mountains.

The location is quiet and peaceful with the benefit of village facilities within a short walk.

Castiglione is one of the main villages of the Garfagnana, arguably the most beautiful part of all Tuscany. There are 2 restaurants, 3 cafes and several shops in the village, which has regular feasts and festivals, including a fine medieval festival in August. There is a great view of the ancient Castello from the farm. The farm makes its own wine, fine preserves, cheeses and other dairy produce.

We can help arrange mountain biking, hill walking, horse riding, gorge walking, art classes and cooking classes which are all available locally.

Guests have access to the land on the farm, outdoor dining area and large pool area. There is a recreational room with computer that the guests can use.

The owner Sergio and his family live and work on the farm.

Me and my family had a really great time here, really nice house with beautiful views and walking distance to wonderful medieval village. Delicious restaurants close by. Arianna and Sergio are warm and caring hosts. When we arrived and found out that the pool was closed we were so disappointed, and then they bought a small pool for the children, very kind Note that their big pool isn’t open until June. The trafficked road is quite close, and there are some unprojected height differences without fence (if travelling with small children). Overall a lovely place in the Toscana paradise🤩

The location was perfect. We fell in love with Castiglione de Garfagnana and the view from our accommodation was spectacular. We also loved the sounds of the church and cow bells! The accommodation was perfect for our needs. We enjoyed daily walks to the village for morning cappuccini and exploring the local villages and countryside by car. The train station in Castelnuovo made it convenient for day trips to Lucca and Florence. The notes provided by Friends of Tuscany were really helpful. The host family was extremely responsive and hospitable. We would love to return!

We rented the property with my cousin, we live in the west of Ireland, they live in London. Both of us have teenage children. We adored the medieval village and the surrounding countryside. We even made it to the Mediterranean for an afternoon. We swam in the pool, in local lakes and in the fabulous waterfall which is located in the village. The house is well equipped and we were able to cook large family meals and spend hours dining outside admiring the Tuscan countryside. We ate in the pizzeria which is just across the road, the food was excellent and good value. On the evening we arrived to everyone’s delight there was an open air opera in the village square. The location of this villa is very special. We loved our stay and would recommend it in a heartbeat.

Great vacation in the beautiful Tuscany

Visited here with my extended family. Cigiano di Sotto was a perfect place for us all. The house was spacious enough for 12 people as it's actually 2 apartments rented together, so lots of space for all of us including 2 dining patios! The views from the house and pool are amazing. The pool was really big and great for swimming lengths as well as play. There was plenty of pool furniture for us all. The lovely village of Castiglione is only a 2 minute walk and there are 3 restaurants and bars in the village (there's literally a pizzeria 30s walk from the house). This was a massive bonus. Silvano's bar was our favourite. It's also a shop so we rarely had to use the car to go anywhere. Highly recommend this place and can't wait to return!

flies will drive you crazy
flies will drive you crazy
The views are stunning ,would have been nice if the owners had met up with us ,but spoke no english anyway. Property had everything that was required , the let down was the flies , hundreds of them , it does not help that it is a working farm and the cow shed is under and next door to where you are staying , you can see from the windows the cows and dung which attract more flies ,it is a impossible situation ,if you close the windows there is no air and hot ,there is no air con to keep it cool . Unless you happy staying around the pool , a car is a must ,just to get you to the shops , be aware that the shops have the basic goods ,even those further out do not have very much to offer , we spoke to a local who spoke good english ,he said most locals grow their own produce , make their own wine ,keep their animals for milk ,butter etc ,that is why there is so little in the shops ,i will let you decide if the restaurant across from your property is cheap ,we had 9 pizzas 4 beers ,5 soft drinks, 1 bottle red house wine ,it came to £145 Not for people who find walking hard
