Nice 18th-century fully restored stone house

House:
Casa Marta is a nice and spacious 18th-century recently (2004) fully restored stone house with three floors spanning total 105 m2. Provided with 2 televisions (1 satellite), radio, DVD, CD player etc. A central heating (gas) system has also been installed. And naturally a working fireplace adorns the second floor, as how would a countryside house be completed without one! The house is fully furnished with all new or antique pieces (Tuscan pieces from yhe 19th century). These house is nestled in a small mountain village called Pascoso (county of Pescaglia,province of Lucca, Tuscany, Italy), in the Apuane Park, 700m above sea level. Pascoso has just 100 inhabitants (and 2 restaurants and 1 general store), and is so small with such narrow stone roads that cars enter town along a short strip in the main road only. Nearly all the houses in the town are built in stone, including their rooftops, and the smooth stones in the streets were laid hundreds of year ago. Pascoso is a hiker's paradise; however it is not far from the "cities of arts" of Tuscany: Lucca, Pisa, Florence and Siena are 24, 48, 96 and 144 km far; moreover Viareggio and Forte dei Marmi, among the most famous Italian beaches, are 48 km far (including 24 on the highway). Attention: the house is nestled on a hill, with three floors on one side and two on the other.

Tips from owner:
Pascoso's finest asset, and the most important reason to travel there, is the nature in which it is literally immersed. It is reaaly a hiker's paradise: you can walk all day long without meeting a soul. As you may have already imagined, the only sounds you'll hear in Pascoso are dogs barking and townsfolk chatting. Quiet reigns through the mountainside. The area is ideal for hiking, horseback riding (there are two barns where you can rent horses). However, there are 2 restaurants and a general store, where you can buy food and every you need for the house and it is not far from the "cities of arts" of Tuscany (Lucca,Pisa,Florence,Siena, etc.,) and beaches (Forte dei Marmi and Viareggio,which are among the most famous Italian beaches) are no more than 30 miles far. Furthermore, the house is situated under an hours drive from many of Italy?s finest and most picturesque golf courses, such as Golf Alisea - 32km -30 mins (5 holes promotional golf course), Montecatini Golf Club - 37 km -35 mins (18 hole golf course of natural beauty that has been built in the hilly countryside.Golfers are faced with many natural hazards such as lakes, streams, forests, and ditches which are all formed from the natural contours of the land), Club Golf Montelupo - 40 km -40 mins, Tirrenia Golf Club (9 hole), Cosmopolitan Golf & Country Club (18 hole) and Golf Club Fontevivo (18 hole).
