La Fagiana

A truly wonderful location which is enhanced by the hospitality of Giovanna and Massimo. Highly recommend and plan to return in the Autumn. The building has been tastefully restored and the library and reading room provide a cool space to unwind from walks in the surrounding hills. Natalia, who runs the village store, and her husband, Maro, the local baker, provided excellent candlelit dinners upon request. These were served on the terrace or in the dining room.

Wanting to change scenery for a few days, we chose the Garfagnana valley, the ancient village of Tereglio and La Fagiana. Couldn't have chosen better! Giovanna made us feel like part of her home, the room was cozy and had a large terrace with terrific views, breakfast served on a tiny terrace overlooking a deep forested valley couldn't have been tastier: fresh schiacciata and local Buccellato from the village baker, fresh ricotta from the village. Tereglio is full of history, endless walks, stunning views over the peaks. Just perfect. We are going back in October to see the Autumn colours!

Tereglio was gorgeous and so inviting. Giovanna is the perfect host for the most peaceful Bed and Breakfast imaginable and she was always easy to reach if needed. The views are breathtaking and her breakfast as well as the country restaurant are magnificent. Walking into the lavender filled home and sitting on the back patio drinking local wines made for the most relaxing adventure in Italy. I wouldn't hesitate to return to such a beautiful town with such beautiful people. La Fagiana is truly a hidden gem and I would encourage anyone to visit.

Stunningly beautiful location in the centre of the Garfagnana, with endless walking from the village. The breakfasts are to die for, and the welcome could not be warmer. A real jewel of a find.
