The ideal
place for a perfect tuscany villa holiday - a beautifully
restored historic farmhouse, set in the
unspoilt countryside of
Lunigiana |
| Patios
The breakfast
room patio doors provide the easiest access to the
villa outdoors. Papavero's villa garden has fabulous
countryside and mountain views (see photo above) and four
patios. Click on Photos-Albums-Slideshows to
see our gallery
of slideshows, including one of the villa exterior and another showing views from
the garden.
There is a dining patio and a large BBQ patio at the
rear, along with a storage room and a garden room, providing
shelter from either sun or breeze. This area can accommodate
up to 20 people and is used as the main sun
patio.
There is another large patio to the side and
a smaller villa patio in the front
garden.
There are enough
sun beds, chair loungers and outdoor seats for everyone to
relax.

Gardens
There are gardens to the front and side with numerous shrubs
and seven varieties of fruit and nut
trees.
Feel free to pick any fruit growing
on our land. There are apples, pears, figs, persimmons, grapes, hazelnuts
and walnuts, and some we haven't yet
identified! There is also
a large pasture adjoining the villa.
The garden layout is
shown in the schematic below. The ground floor plan of the
villa (white with black outline) is shown simply to
establish its position within the garden. This ground floor plan
of the villa is shown in a larger format, as a separate
page, accessed from the 'Villa Accommodation' section of
the website.

A wide variety of wildlife can
be seen in the villa garden. We have seen fire-flies, small
geckos, black squirrels, bats, owls, green woodpeckers and
many other species of birds. Eagles and buzzards fly over the
mountains so binoculars and a telescope are available for
your use.

Car Parking
There is plenty of room to
park several cars on hard standing at the bottom of the large
pasture, approximately 150 metres from the villa.
Using this rear entrance to the villa is
generally easier than using the side
access drive. This also avoids the intrusion of cars
in the villa garden and patio area.
If
required, there
is room for one car at the top of the access drive,
next to the villa, and another car could be parked on
the road outside Papavero. These options are particularly convenient
when dropping off or picking
up.
