Villa Ribosto

Set in a peaceful hillside location in the heart of Tuscany’s Garfagnana, Villa Ribosto is surrounded by nature and overlooks the Serchio Valley. From here, guests can enjoy sweeping panoramic views of both the Apuan Alps and the Apennines in the distance. It’s the perfect place for families and friends to relax and experience the tranquillity of the Tuscan landscape. Situated on the edge of a small village, the excellent Pizzeria Il Totto is within easy walking distance. The nearest supermarket is in Gallicano, 8 km away. The historic spa town of Bagni di Lucca, known for its thermal springs since Roman times, is a 35-minute drive. Nearby attractions include the iconic Ponte della Maddalena, the spectacular Grotta del Vento cave, and outdoor activities like hiking, rafting and canoeing on the Serchio River. Lucca, Pisa and Viareggio are all within reach for day trips. The property includes a cream-painted main house and a smaller stone cottage, set on spacious grounds with several shaded terraces. These are perfect for al fresco dining or simply relaxing while taking in the views. The elegant pool also features a soothing hydromassage function. Accommodation is split between the two-storey main house and a separate annexe. The annexe contains two bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom – ideal for guests seeking privacy. The main house is full of charm, with wooden beam ceilings, terracotta floors, pastel-coloured rooms with nature murals, and antique furnishings.
