Perfect for weddings and celebrations!
Set within a 16 hectare gated country estate, there is a real sense of privelige on arrival.
Whilst let as a whole, La Filanda has been designed to give guests the best of both worlds - one large property which groups of friends and families can enjoy together, but carefully split into 3 beautifully furnished apartments, thus giving each smaller group privacy from each other when necessary. This works perfectly when a group consists of friends, or families with children of different ages / needs.
Each apartment is individually equipped with personal eating out area for those breakfasting/lunching at different times .... There is also a large outdoor eating area perfect for group eating in the evenings.
This is a lovely property, boasting wooden floors, beamed ceilings, romantic mezzanine bedrooms, wonderful views, good quality furniture, and well equipped kitchens.

A little about the area:
Situated in 16 hectares of land, with wonderful views at every turn, this property is a perfect rural retreat, yet it is less than a 10 minute drive from the Mediaeval town of Barga. Barga is a sought after place to stay, with its hilly windy cobbled streets, duomo, 10th Century cathedral ancient architecture and wonderful views. Renowned for its art, good quality, but reasonably priced restaurants and music, it is a fantastic place to be in the summer. There are often al fresco concerts; outdoor plays; festas with dancing; night time markets. Known as the most Scottish town in Italy there is also a famous fish and chip festival.
Closer to home, and within walking distance is the village of Albiano with its restaurant (not open every day), and also the village bar at the local pool. You can also walk up to the village to collect bread from the bread van which arrives each morning with bread and pastries (9:30 am, and no delivery Sundays).
Places to visit:
These are just some suggestions since hilltop villages abound, and exploring can be either townie or totally rural - the choice is yours, if you can tear yourselves away from the house and the pool area.
NB - the odd wedding may occur on site during your stay but you have your own car park, dirveway, garden and pool private to you. Most guests love seeing a wedding unfold and the owner will treat you with free wedding food.
