On the last floor we have a garret with original low doors (160 cm. high), which comprises two perfectly inhabitable rooms, i.e. a "fairy" bedroom with twin beds and a bath with shower. At the house entrance there is a sunny yard with table and chairs and by crossing the small road you will find an exclusive garden (700 sm) equipped with garden furniture, which offers stunning views over the adjacent valley. In our holiday house you will find as well: books, tourist brochures.
Casa Ciesa al numero 4 is located on the edge of a tiny village of 100 hinabitants. A narrow road drivable with small cars crosses it. Cars can be parked within our property or in case of medium-large ones on the village main square at about 150 m asphalted distance from our house, to be covered on foot.

"Hello Francesca,
Just a quick 1 to say thanks so much for a brilliant holiday and for
helping us with directions and thanks for the wine. (...) I couldn't have hoped for a more special place to propose to K. We will both cherish our time in Guzzano forever."
Keith and K., from UK, april 2008

Lucca Area


Bagni di Lucca (at 5 km from our village), is a nice tourist resort, where you will find general stores, shops and sport centers (public swimming pool, tennis courts, chemist, supermarkets, etc.) and a beautiful spa, beloved destination of artists like Byron, Shelley, Puccini, Metternich and Radestsky. Traces of this glorious past are to be found in its monuments: the English Church, the Catene bridge, the Spa, the villas, the Casino, etc. The Casino was the first gambling house to be opened in Europe. It was closed in the 19th century, but during the last years it has been perfectly restored and reopened as a wonderful location for parties and wedding receptions. The town has a couple of good trattorias, where you can taste our traditional cuisine based on simple ingredients like mushrooms, chestnuts, sausages, stakes etc. Enjoy beautiful walks, bicycle or horse rides on the hills around our property, full of churches and Roman parishes: S.Pietro in Corsena, Pieve and San Cassiano di Controne, Montefegatesi, Casabasciana and Vicopancellorum. Nearby, Borgo a Mozzano and the Maddalena bridge, better known as the Devil’s bridge, the little canyon Orrido di Botri, the Garfagnana villages, Barga with its typical historical centre, Coreglia Antelminelli and its Museum of Plaster Figures and Emigration are just a few of the places worth a visit. Lucca (25 km), Pisa (50km) and the close Tyrrhenian coast, (or Versilia-Viareggio beaches, 40km) offer further opportunities for food, culture and activity! Closest airports: Pisa (PSA; 50 km) or Florence (FLR; 85 km). Clostest train station: Bagni di Lucca/Fornoli (10 km). Daily bus service from Guzzano (our village) to Lucca (about 30 min. drive).

village


Guzzano is a tiny little village perched on a hill around Bagni di Lucca. It offers neither groceries nor bars, but some can be found in a village nearby (2 km, walking distance) or in Bagni (5 km). You can purchase very good quality local honey and wine from us, or buy fresh vegetables, eggs and delicious cheese from our neighbour farmer. On Wednesdays and Saturday mornings there is a market in Bagni di Lucca. Our village was once very populated. At the beginning of the XX century a lot of inhabitants sought their fortune abroad. Most of their grandchildren still live outside Italy but come back here for holidays once in a while. Some English tourists bought a house in our village, following up a long tradition which dates back to the XIX century, when English poets or artists like the Brownings were literally enrapted by these surroundings. From Casa Ciesa walk through the wood down to Bagni di Lucca in an hour or explore the surroundings in search of a forgotten church.
