2 Bedroom Cottage in Castiglione di Garfagnana, Castigione di Garfagnana

Casa Paladini was built in 1904 and has been lovingly restored with all of its original features maintained throughout such as beamed chestnut ceilings and boards, original stone fireplace and chestnut furniture, doors and windows and stone faced interior and exterior. The cottage is set in a chestnut grove along the ancient track connecting Castilgione di Garfagnana with the high mountain villages and pastures above. The closest point reachable by car is 300 metres away, down a green track. The village of Chiozza with its pizzeria is 1.5 km away and the award-winning Castiglione di Garfagnana is 3km away on foot through the forest. Several walking routes start right from the cottage door including a 2km walk to a medieval bridge and waterfall, good for swimming in the summertime. Casa Paladini is an ideal retreat for anyone looking to get away from the noise of the modern world. The only sounds at night are the nearby running stream and wildlife in close proximity to the cottage including wild boar, deer, crickets etc. The owner lives nearby and runs a very small wild camp site during the summer, and is at hand at all times to advise on places to shop, restaurants, walks etc. Campers keep to themselves, and Casa Paladini with its garden is very well defined and private, however you will hear and see campers on the track. Quiet time at the campsite is 11pm. Castilgione with its shops and restaurant is a 30-minute walk down the mountain, and an excellent mobile supermarket comes to within 300 metres of the cottage once a week.
Please note that the cottage is heated only by a wood-burning stove and open fire place - there is no central heating. If you let us know your arrival time we will do our best to have the stove lit for when you arrive. It is important to keep fueling the stove for the cottage to stay warm. In this way the kitchen area is cosy, some heat also goes into the living room where there is also an open fire, but the bedrooms and bathroom upstairs remain cool.
If possible aim to arrive before dark. In wintertime we are flexible about arrival times to facilitate this.

Summary: The views from Paladini are beautiful beyond what the pictures show, but the people are even better. We spent nights sitting on benches at the fire, but on days we felt less social were given perfect privacy in the cottage. Colm was the ideal host.Our large dog was not only permitted, but warmly greeted and welcomed. The cottage not only had everything needed for cooking, but also books and a few games. Firewood was provided, and the wood stove easily and quickly warms the cottage (including the upper floor).The tranquility of the cottage, whimsical signs, sociability of the common space, and friendliness of the inhabitants (even the donkeys!), and walking trails just meters from the door make Paladini an experience not to be missed.
