Lovely country house ideal for families with plenty of opportunities for an actice holiday

Casa Carbonaia is situated high in the peaceful hills of Tuscany, close to medieval towns and larger cities such as Montecatini Terme, Florence and Lucca, offering plenty of history, culture and traditions.

This is a place where you can truly connect with nature, while also having plenty of opportunities for an active holiday in the great outdoors.

The apartments

The country estate was originally built at the end of the 14th century but has since been renovated and now offers 7 comfortable, rustic apartments with kitchens, 3 of which have a dishwasher, as well as private bathrooms. Further down the page, you can see all the holiday apartments at Casa Carbonaia and find the one that best suits your family.

The outdoor area

The swimming pool (7 x 14 m, 1.10 m to 2.5 m deep) is surrounded by a garden and offers wonderful views across the green hills, dotted with churches and villas. There is a shared barbecue and pizza oven, which are frequently used by guests. The setting is very rural and relaxing, and there is also the opportunity to enjoy communal meals on the lawn if you wish.

Experiences in the area

This is a place where you can immerse yourself in nature, whether you choose to explore quiet trails through oak and chestnut forests on your own or join a guided excursion on foot or on professional mountain bikes. Among other things, you can visit the birthplace of the world famous Leonardo da Vinci, which you pass on your way to the country estate.

There is a minimarket with its own bakery a few kilometres from the property, and Giovanni is also happy to recommend good restaurants and share other useful local knowledge. Giovanni's father, Simone, is a professional mountaineer and knows the area exceptionally well. He is happy to arrange activities such as river rafting and canyoning or suggest a good running route.

Neither Giovanni nor Simone is often present at the property, so the best way to contact them is via WhatsApp. If you would like to take part in any of Simone's activities, these can also be arranged via WhatsApp. If you need Giovanni or Simone to come by the property, simply send them a message and arrange a suitable time.

There are plenty of activities to choose from, but everything is completely optional. Casa Carbonaia is also an ideal place to simply relax by the pool or head out and explore the area at your own pace.

Fans can be provided in the apartments, as there is no air conditioning except in the Garzetta apartment. The windows have mosquito nets, allowing you to keep them open at night if needed.

The shared washing machine is free to use.
