I Ginepri Country House

An extremely handsome house set in four hectares of parkland with an orchard and woodland, bordered by a fast-flowing river. Inside, old features and modern furniture marry with stone floors and beamed ceilings to create a luxuriously rustic feel. Soaring ceilings make every room elegantly spacious. Outside, a pool and shady terrace encourage lounging.

Cook feasts in the marble-topped kitchen and gather for convivial meals in the candle-lit dining room, light the fire as it gets dark outside. Take your nightcap by the wood-burner in the lounge, read quietly in the library, gather round the piano for a sing along. Bedrooms and bathrooms are simply divine.

You’re in a rural valley with the sky-piercing peaks of the Alpi Apuane and the Garfagnana towering in the distance. Take the cable car from Cerreto Laghi and you’re 2000m up with stunning scenery all around. The area is a gastronomic gem with an array of restaurants close by.
