A view from the village and walking up the ancient Mulo track to Pieve di Monti di Villa, the original entrance.
| ----------------------------------------- |
The house is on three floors. The basement or cantina stores the firewood and there is a laundry and a storeroom. On the first floor there is a terrace for relaxing in the morning sun. You enter the house from here into the lounge room. Off the loungeroom is the kitchen. The stairs lead from the lounge room to the bedroom. From here there is a small writing room and small bathroom. The house is heated by a wood stove and portable gas heater. The house is for a couple and perhaps a small child only and is available from April to November. The village is small and very original with about 30 people living there permanently. You find at the top of the village a bar where you will get real village hospitality and perhaps a friendly interrogation from Pina, the owner. Make yourself known, the people here are honest and friendly. There are many walks from the village along the old mulo tracks, you will be on the edge of a wonderful national park, Orido di Botri. A car is advisable and can easily be rentad at Pisa airport.   |
