WELCOME TO THE HILLS LUCCHESI AND TO "CASA PATRIZIA", THE SMALL FARM "AL BARONI"
At 12 km from Lucca, a delightful city in Tuscany, and in a hilly position on the road that leads to Garfagnana, there is the small farm "Al Baroni", surrounded by sunny hills and hills.
The structure was erected in the 18th century as an oratory, of which still retains some traces. In the following century it was enlarged and transformed into a farm with typical Tuscan traits. Now it is a charming country house, completely renovated and equipped with every modern comfort. It is possible to take walks in the beautiful surrounding countryside starting directly on foot from the house.
The nearest town is Ponte a Moriano, reachable in a few minutes by car, which offers all the main services, including supermarket and shopping center, bars, shops, pharmacy, post office, carabinieri station, ATM / bank, etc.
The city of Lucca is rich in history and art, in fact it stands out for its numerous churches and medieval towers, for the city walls and the Renaissance palaces, as well as to still preserve traces of the Roman origins. We remember the splendid Piazza dell'Anfiteatro built on the structure of the pre-existing Roman amphitheater. Very interesting to visit are the historic villas, of great pomp, built by noble Lucchesi in its countryside.
The Garfagnana is a mountainous region of particular beauty, between the Apuane Alps and the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, which offers a wide variety of landscapes, from an impervious and uncontaminated mountain belt to a practical and sweeter way to hills rich of fields and crops, interspersed with characteristic villages. It is a land that still preserves the love for tradition, translated into the valorisation of craftsmanship and typical cuisine, enhanced by an excellent oil and wine.
