2 Bedroom Cottage in Castiglione di Garfagnana, Castigione di Garfagnana

Casa Paladini was built in 1904 and has been lovingly restored with all of its original features maintained throughout such as beamed chestnut ceilings and boards, original stone fireplace and chestnut furniture, doors and windows and stone faced interior and exterior. The cottage is set in a chestnut grove along the ancient track connecting Castilgione di Garfagnana with the high mountain villages and pastures above. The closest point reachable by car is 300 metres away, down a green track. The village of Chiozza with its pizzeria is 1.5 km away and the award-winning Castiglione di Garfagnana is 3km away on foot through the forest. Several walking routes start right from the cottage door including a 2km walk to a medieval bridge and waterfall, good for swimming in the summertime. Casa Paladini is an ideal retreat for anyone looking to get away from the noise of the modern world. The only sounds at night are the nearby running stream and wildlife in close proximity to the cottage including wild boar, deer, crickets etc. The owner lives nearby and runs a very small wild camp site during the summer, and is at hand at all times to advise on places to shop, restaurants, walks etc. Campers keep to themselves, and Casa Paladini with its garden is very well defined and private, however you will hear and see campers on the track. Quiet time at the campsite is 11pm. Castilgione with its shops and restaurant is a 30-minute walk down the mountain, and an excellent mobile supermarket comes to within 300 metres of the cottage once a week.
Please note that the cottage is heated only by a wood-burning stove and open fire place - there is no central heating. If you let us know your arrival time we will do our best to have the stove lit for when you arrive. It is important to keep fueling the stove for the cottage to stay warm. In this way the kitchen area is cosy, some heat also goes into the living room where there is also an open fire, but the bedrooms and bathroom upstairs remain cool.
If possible aim to arrive before dark. In wintertime we are flexible about arrival times to facilitate this.

Summary: Although set in lovely woodland the property is not quite as private as Home Away website would lead you to expect as there is a campsite very close by (Wild Camping Paladini which you can check out on other websites). However while we stayed it was very peaceful and the cottage had everything you could need except a toaster. Could benefit from maybe a couple of bedside tables (easier to pop your coffee cup on when sitting up in bed and admiring the mountain view from bedroom window!) Bed comfortable as is settee in lounge. There is open fire and stove but as it was very hot during our stay we did not need. Should be cosy enough in cooler weather although the doors have a few holes and gaps and there are curtains to pull across them. Not suitable for kids or those with disability as stairs very steep and no banister. The path down to the cottage from parking area is steep in places and rough - it feels a long way in 30 deg plus heat especially with luggage. There are walks you can do from the cottage to Silico and Castiglione which we would recommend. Also the village of Chiozza above is nice and its a relatively short drive from there up to the Radici pass and San Pelegrino in Alp (great view across from the cafe) from where start various high level mountain walks. Worth the drive to Lago Santo (you can go via Chiozza and Radici pass) a beautiful lake from where you can wander through alpine pastures full of flowers before ascending Monte Giovo 1991m high (takes about 3 and a half hours). Supermarkets in Pieve Foscianna down the hill from Chiozza have everything you require including the gluten free goods which my wife requires. Overall a good location if you are physically fit.

Summary: Good location but not recommended for the unfit due to fairly steep walk up/down from the cottage. Nice to sit and watch bats, owls at night. We were looking for peace and seclusion and this fitted the bill. We noticed them preparing the camp next for visitors and if we had come when a camp was there I think we would have been much less pleased.

Summary: This cottage has been simply and beautifully restored. We loved it the moment we saw it. It is secluded yet within easy reach of any amenities you would want. We found it to be ideally located to reach the many attractions in Garfagnana and was a glorious haven to come back to and chill out. Had great fun with the pizza oven! Our caretaker took great care to make sure everything was perfect for our stay. Excellent customer service from the owner also. thoroughly recommended.

Summary: The cottage has been renovated beautifully simple understated and just right with details where it matters. We sat outside in the evenings around the pizza oven watching fireflies and listening to the rustles of nature ....magical! The location is ideal secluded yet not isolated with all the facilities you need within reach. Nick Anne Rose UK
