About this property

Palazzo Pasquini, stunning views/sunsets, private pool, WIFI, chef option!

6 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms.
Palazzo Pasquini is a restored X1V C palace standing in a prime position in the tiny village of Treppignana, with its population of less than 30.
The views from the garden and all around the village are wondrous and eating on the terrace is a real treat.
The property is substantial, with enormous rooms, high beamed ceilings, arched doorways, exposed stonework & traditional flooring and lots of nooks and crannies.
This house oozes character and is a complete one off - a real feel of history with many antiques, & original features - an adventure, and wonderful for hide and seek!
The garden is also a one off, with a small reading area, a further shaded area with stone table and seats, a large terrace for eating al fresco, and a sunbathing and pool area with views over the rooftops.
Whilst this is a village property the garden is totally private since the houses situated to the side as seen in the photo cannot actually overlook the garden (we have checked!) and in any event they are uninhabited and used just for the odd weekend in the summer by their Italian owners. Due to position of house there are views over rooftops..
The streets of this tiny village are far too narrow for cars, and is therefore a peaceful retreat, and good for children. The villagers are very friendly and if you are resident for any of their numerous 'village evenings' will invite you to join them to eat, drink and maybe dance in the Square.
The ground floor consists of one very large entrance/dining area with arched doorways, leading to the enormous Tuscan style kitchen with large table, equipped with washing machine, dishwasher, oven, hob, microwave, indoor BBQ. The kitchen leads to garden via utility room with washing machine.
Outside:
Garden with various nooks and crannies and little sitting areas
Large terrace with views over roof tops and valley with mountains beyond
Swimming pool (12M - including roman steps and jacuzzi area at each end x 4M).
BBQ
The first floor has 4 double bedrooms and two twin bedrooms (both of which can be made up as doubles on request).
There are 2 shower rooms and 1 bathroom.
Also on this floor is a further dining room/ 'breakfast' style room with arched doorway leading through to part of the garden and a comfortable living room with sofas, CD player, and a wood/pellett burning stove.
There are little places to explore all round the house

A little about location:

The property is situated in the tiny ancient village of Treppignana high in the hills overlooking the Garfagnana Valley. The population of this well kept and friendly village is only 30 , & cars are not permitted beyond the main Square, which ensures peace and quiet, and safe exploring for children. The views from the village are amazing at every turn due to its high position, and from the bell tower there are 360 degrees views of the entire area - wonderful! A walkers/trekkers paradise, there are various walks straight from the village, and the mountain peaks are all climbable by foot. All this peace and yet only a 15 minute drive from the market town of Castelnuovo and 20 minutes or so from the medieaval town of Barga both with their various bars and restaurants. The nearest shop/bar is a 5 minute drive away and there is a restaurant within 10 minutes. Pisa 1 hr 20 mins; Lucca 1 hr; Florence 1hr 45 mins; mediaeval villages everywhere; National Parks 30 mins. Step back in time!

A wonderful House and the nicest host ❤️

Many thanks for the most wonderful and very warm 14 days in Treppignana in beautiful Palazzo Pasquini. We have enjoyed a lovely holiday with excursions to Barga, Lucca, Florence, Pisa and Monterosso. We have daily used the nice pool and beautiful garden. And what a view - it is so beautiful ❤️ We thank the perfect host for all the help and assistance. We will miss it all and the fantastic view over the valley and the mountains.

great holidays in Tuscany

the family enjoyed the castle, the kitchen, the barBQ. A bit cold for the pool. We loved the pizza nights and the four course meals provide by the owners. the only challenge was the winding road to get up to the castle, but after a few days it was fine.

Wonderful experience

The other reviews are accurate - the surrounding area is beautiful, the house is large, the pool is as big as it looks on the photo, check-in was easy, and the village is quaint. We had a fantastic time and I would highly recommend this house for larger groups! We were 9 adults (of which three couples) and fit comfortably in the house .

Beautiful property and excellent hosts

The house in Treppignana was perfect for our family of 10, much space, well equipped, comfy and fun for everyone. The views are amazing from the house and the village is just so charming and beautiful. We did a lot of day trips here and there (Pisa, Luca, Florence, Castelnuovo di Garfagnana and more) and could have explored so much more if we´d have had the time. Dario and family were lovely and easy to communicate with. They made sure we had everything we needed and are good people. We´ll definitely be staying there again when we return to Toscana. Thank you, Asty and Fridrik

Il Palazzo Pasquini

We had a fantastic time with our extended family of 8 grown ups, age 30 to 72, and 3 children, age 1 to nearly 3 and4. The house is great and fitted our needs perfectly. The kitchen is fantastic and we really enjoyed cooking in it. The outdoor area with the pool is a gem and the view from the terrace overlooking the mountain hills is spectacular! A car is a must for shopping, eating out, sightseeing etc. And yes the road up to the house is quite something but clearly manageable. The road is also great for exercise going down hill walking or running and then turning back uphill. Dario and Eleanora were great to interact with; again many thanks for helping out with the retrieval of our lost luggage.

Perfect Tuscan Get-away

We came here as a family to unplug and relax and this home was perfect for that! Coming from America it was a bit of a shock (especially for my kids) to walk into a home that was built in the 1500’s and feel comfortable, although you could tell it was well maintained and clean but it took them one night to feel at home. The ping pong table was an amazing addition especially since the first floor has very little living area (besides the kitchen), the back terrace was our favorite hang out because the views are worth the 10 minute windy drive up the mountain. We lived outside most of the time. We did take a few day trips (Florence, Lucca, Pisa), but since we loved the surrounding non touristy area so much (esp Barga) we did most of our exploring and eating there. We loved our time, it was the perfect beginning to our time in Italy!

A jewel on the hill

Palazzo Pasquini was probably the most extraordinary vacation home we have ever had. It is historic, huge and in a remote location. We have a group of 7 people (4 adults and 3 children) and would have managed to barely see each other for a week given the size of the house. The facilities are perfectly adequate, although a little dated in places. The walk up to the Palazzo is a bit arduous and you should be aware that you are unlikely to be prepared to make this walk several times a day. The location is also not absolutely perfect for excursions. In the end, we limited ourselves to Pisa, Lucca (highly recommended) and the Mediterranean coast on the other side of the mountains. Each was a full-day excursion. Overall, Palazzo Pasquini is therefore highly recommended if you are looking for peace and seclusion. The view from the terrace is simply indescribable and we will remember it for a very long time. Just like Lilly, Dario's incredibly affectionate dog.

Tack för underbara dagar i Treppignana

Palazzo Pasaquini är ett riktigt palats, välhållet med flera sovrum, toaletter, ett underbart kök, terass och en liten pool, med vidunderlig utsikt över de apuliska bergen. Vi blev mycket väl mottagna av ägarna som också lagade en fin middag till oss med lokala råvaror. Vi hade underbara dagar i Palazzo Pasquini och kombinationen av ett rymligt palats med biljard- och pingisbord, fantastiska vandringsleder runt knuten där vi vandrade ensamma i den fantastiska naturen och ett kök där vi som gillar matlagning kunde gå loss med lokala råvaror var toppen! Tänk på att det är en serpentinväg upp till byn och att det krävs bil för att t.ex. åka och handla.

Schöne Unterkunft in traumhafter Lage

Das Haus ist mit allem ausgestattet was man für einen entspannten Aufenthalt braucht. Es hat uns absolut an nichts gefehlt. Die Vermieter sind sehr freundlich und helfen in allen Belangen. Als wir Schwierigkeiten mit dem Anfeuern des Pizzaofen hatten, genügte ein Anruf und Eleonores Papa war sofort zur Stelle. Ein wenig Pech hatten wir mit dem Wetter, aber das war in diesem Zeitraum ungewöhnlich. Wir haben unseren Urlaub trotzdem sehr genossen und statt Pool mehr Ausflüge unternommen. Wir können die Unterkunft empfehlen und würden sie jederzeit wieder buchen.

Upea maisema joka ei jätä ketään kylmäksi

Talo sijaitsee erittäin korkealla vuoristossa, pienen kylän keskellä. Tie perille on mutkainen ja toisinaan tie on erittäin kapea. Maisema talon terassilta on henkeäsalpaava, ja aurinko paistaa lähes koko päivän terassille tai alapihalle, missä uima-allas sijaitsee. Talon keittiö on upea, ja mahtavan kokoinen. Siellä ruoan valmistus on helppoa ja keittiössä pystyy ruokaa valmistamaan useampi henkilö kerrallaan. Tämä kohde sopii niille, jotka rakastavat omaa rauhaa, ja toivovat lomalta aitoa Toscanaa. Suosittelut!

Ett fantastiskt hus

Ett fantastiskt hus som är väldigt stort. Bilderna gör inte huset rättvisa. Det finns en fin uteplats med grill och pizzaugn. Köket är alldeles fantastiskt med en stor öppen spis. Vi var där i april så det var inte alla kvällar vi kunde sitta ute, men köket gjorde att det ändå blev väldigt trevliga kvällar. Huset är gammalt och charmigt med mycket vinklar och vrår. Man måste tänka på att klara trappor bra för det är mycket trappor. Det är bra sängar och allt är väldigt välstädat. Man måste ha bil för det är köravstånd till både affär och restaurang. För vår del var detta inget problem då vi prioriterade bergen och naturen. Middagarna tillagade vi i pizzaugnen eller på grillen. Det finns fina vandringar direkt utanför dörren. Ägaren är väldigt trevlig och hjälpsam. Han pratar inte engelska men det är inga problem för man kan ha sms kontakt med dottern som pratar bra engelska. Vi rekommenderar verkligen detta boende.

Traumlage

Das Haus liegt hoch in den Bergen mit einer traumhaften Sicht. Es ist ein großes, weitläufiges, altes Haus. Neun Personen zwischen 9 und 72 Jahren hatten ausreichend Platz und konnten sich über das Haus komfortabel verteilen. Wir hatten viel Spaß am Pool und beim Essen auf der Terasse. Es ist alles vorhanden um Jugendliche zu beschäftigen. Billiard, Darts, Tischtennis, Filme und Wifi im TV-Zimmer. Unsere Kinder waren sehr glücklich. Mit kleineren Kindern ist der Aufenthalt sicherlich weniger entspannt, da man sie immer im Auge behalten muss. Die Treppen sind uneben und steil und es gibt immer mal eine Stufe zu überwinden. Wie einige schon schrieben, ist der Weg hoch schon recht abenteuerlich aber stellte nie wirklich ein Problem dar. Mehrmals am Tag wollte ich den aber auch nicht nehmen. Wir haben die Tips der Vermieter im Hinblick aufs Einkaufen, Kochkurs bei Rita, die Anfahrt nicht über die Berge ( sondern über Parma) beherzigt und hatten einen gelungenen Urlaub. Eine Störung der Spüllmaschiene wurde uns mit einem Korb Gemüse versüßt! Danke Dario!
