The property is up in the hills with views down onto Castelnuovo. The village is quiet and quaint, and the property is right at the end, keep going when you get there, there’s a few twists and turns before you arrive. The pool area is beautiful and well maintained, plenty of sun beds and chairs to relax on. To the side of the property is parking for a few cars and a BBQ area, get there to catch the last bits of sun. The property itself is of a good size, consisting of a single room downstairs, handy for the less able, upstairs a further three rooms. Two with king size beds and a room with bunk beds. Bedding is supplied. Two shower rooms again one up and one down. The living room is comfortable with a large TV, we didn’t use this room much at all. Kitchen is well equipped and found it had plenty of staple items left over from previous guests.
Alessandro who owns the property lives nearby and visited us twice, his English is limited but we got by with some clever google translate. A true gent and a pleasure to speak to, we found him very helpful and nothing was too much for him.
The local area is beautiful, we didn’t see too much as the kids enjoyed the pool too much and so did we. Castelnuovo has a Conad
Supermarket, very well stocked and had everything we needed. Go to Gallicano for a larger Conad and diesel is so much cheaper here, up to 20c per litre.
Barga is well worth a visit, make sure you make the trip up to the Duomo Di S. Cristoforo, For some amazing views.
We visited the end of August 2019.
Thank you for a lovely stay and we would highly recommend booking.
