Location
The farmhouse stands at an altitude of about 600 meters near Pieve Fosciana (Lucca), on the mountains of Garfagnana, a region in northern Tuscany that stretches between the Apuan Alps, the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines and Lunigiana.
Garfagnana is rich in natural beauties and picturesque historic villages that are still unknown to mass tourism. The most important towns of the region are Castelnuovo di Garfagnana, which has been inserted in the list of the hundred most beautiful villages in Italy, and Bagni di Lucca, a famous spa town that experienced a boom thanks to Napoleon's sister Elisa Baciocchi.
In this land of elves, witches and hobgoblins is also the "ghost village" of Fabbriche di Careggine, hidden under the waters of the artificial lake of Vagli.
