THE FARMHOUSE

The Cilla farmhouse is located in Giuncugnano, a small village in the upper Garfagnana lying on a hill 800 meters above sea level, facing the panorama of the Apuan Alps.

Ours is a complex of nine structures of varying and different sizes carved out of what were once the homes of the farmers who worked the lands of Count Cilla, whose stately palace is still visible in the center of the farmhouse.

All the structures are built of ancient stone in the typical solid, rural style of local mansions. Their renovation was done in the most respectful and genuine way possible: the imposing trusses and wooden ceilings were maintained and fully restored, the organization of the interior spaces kept the division of the rooms as intact as possible, and elements such as niches, ovens, and original columns (one even anciently carved from a tree around which the entire house was built!) remained untouched. The interior walls alternate bare exposed stone and surfaces on which we used natural paints devoid of any synthetic substance, made according to traditional Lucchese recipes. The furnishings have maintained original pieces of the most genuine Tuscan arte povera.



Outside, in the common areas, you can relax in the shade of the farmyards paved with original 18th-century slabs, enjoy the view of the majestic arc of the Apuan Alps by the panoramic swimming pool, or soak up the sun among the hay in "Prata," the large green area where you will also find swings and a slide for the little ones.
