3 Bedroom House in Bagni di Lucca

Casa del Fabbro is a 3 bedroomed traditional stone mountain house. With views over the Lima valley and is set in the quiet village of Benabbio, nestled in the hills above Bagni di Lucca, which is famous for its thermal spas. Close to the ski resort of Abetone, just under an hour away, and the Versillian coastline which is also an hour away. There are numerous activities available within a close proximity. Cookery courses are available locally as are horse riding, fishing and tennis. 3 outdoor swimming pools, fed by the thermal springs, are a welcome addition to an active and relaxing holiday. 
 
Casa del Fabbro is arranged on 3 levels with a bathroom, 2 double bedrooms and a single bedroom on the 2nd floor, with lovely views over the Lima valley. The 1st floor has the kitchen/dining area and the living room, again with views over the valley. Many houses in mountain villages do not have outside space. This house, however, has a private terrace with an outside table, chairs and a parasol so you may enjoy a home cooked Tuscan meal or simply have a lovely glass of wine and a good book.
