The Property
We are selling our home with swimming pool/agriturismo/rental business/restaurant/creative centre/beautiful surrounding land (with all kinds of fruit trees)/garden/two glass greenhouses/pottery studio with large electric kiln and potter’s wheel/darkroom for photography and so much more. Our lovely place is in Poggio, Garfagnana just one hour north of Lucca and less than one and a half from Pisa. It is in still largely unspoiled nature, surrounded by lush forest within walking distance to the river, half hour drive from a beautiful swimming lake (Gramolazzo), and a short walk to the train station.
We have been very successful in supporting and ourselves through running a vegetarian/vegan restaurant, renting the houses, hosting yoga retreats, women’s circles, theatre workshops, cooking classes, pottery workshops and various types sales of for the past eleven years. Our daughters grew up here surrounded by animals, nature and wildlife but only three kilometres from their school in Camporgiano (small town with all the amenities you might need). You may be wondering…why sell…because we are looking to retire our place is for sale. If this resonates with you… please have a look and reach out to us.
