Casa Marta, Pascoso (Lucca). Holiday Rentals

Description for B&B:

Casa Marta is an 18th-century stone building situated in the charming village of Pascoso, in the scenic Apuane Park of Tuscany. With three floors, each spanning approximately 325 square feet, this historical house offers a cozy and spacious living environment. Located 2321 feet above sea level, it provides breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape.

The house comprises a well-equipped kitchen/living room, two comfortable bedrooms, a full bathroom, a convenient powder room, and two handy pantries. Although there is no lawn, just outside the French doors of the downstairs bedroom, there is a delightful space where a small table, sunshade, and chairs can be placed for relaxation.

Access to the house can be made through two entrances. The front door leads you into the kitchen/pantry area, while the back door takes you to the downstairs bedroom. As the house is nestled on a hill, it features three floors on one side and two on the other.

Casa Marta is tastefully furnished with a combination of brand-new and antique Tuscan pieces from the 19th century. The light fixtures add a touch of elegance, and entertainment amenities include a television with satellite channels, a radio, and a CD player. Although a telephone has not yet been installed, there is a public phone available in town. Additionally, our office provides telephone, computer, and internet access for your convenience.

To ensure comfort during colder months, a gas central heating system has been installed throughout the house. And of course, no mountain house would be complete without a working fireplace, which adorns the second floor, adding warmth and coziness to the ambiance.
