When you stay in the CASA di JULIE House, a rustic 3BR / 2 BA medieval home in the small, hill-top village of Vitiana, you experience authentic small-town Italy, a place where residents still buy fresh vegetables, meat, cheese and wine from the local farm! The house is perfect for a retreat from city life, close to the spa town of Bagni di Lucca and within the heart of Northern Tuscany for easy access to Florence, Pisa, Lucca, the coast and ski resorts. Looking out the house windows, take in wonderful views of the Alps, chestnut forests, and villages nestled in the hillsides of the Garfagnana region—Italy’s best kept secret! House includes master bedroom & bath, large sunroom with sitting area, game table, library and day bed, two additional bedrooms, modern bathroom, laundry room, huge living/dining room with a table for 16 people, kitchen with fireplace and table for four, and foyer with books and brochures for attractions all over northern Tuscany. Linens and towels provided. A rental car is recommended.
