Since 2007, with great satisfaction, we have been sharing our home with Travellers.
To the”Ai Torchi Vecchi”(the meaning of the name of this place is:”to the old presses”)is one of the most striking corners which is in the valley of the river Rosaro in Lunigiana,in the north-west part of Tuscany.It is perhaps the most ancient mill system,how one immagines from the very beautiful pedestrian bridge of medieval origin,all made of stone which crosses the river and separates it still from the nearby village of Posara.On the property the water-level mark and the tracks of where the water used to run under the mill are still very visible. The complex included three adjacent mills,at present one af them has been restructured and changed into a two-floor habitation of about 500 mq.On the ground floor is a large kitchen with fire-place,living room,dining room and one bathroom and small gym. You can still find the ancient handmade stone presses now integrated in the furnishing and all of this really creates a very special place. From an internal stair one accesses the upper floor which also has its own separate entrance with five bedrooms each with private en-suite bathroom with shower or bath tube. The outside area is just in front of the river and is equipped with barbecue,sink,table and benches for eating. Behind the house is a swimming-pool, 12x5m, with deckchairs, sunbeds and changing room. The parking for 3 cars is shaded and has charging for electric cars. A large circular hearth with seating is ideal for staying around the fire for an aperitif or simply for gazing at the starry sky or warming up after a night swim in the pool. Immersed in the greenery with just the sound of the river, isolated,it is very cool in the summer period.”Ai Torchi Vecchi” is the ideal place for lovers of nature and tranquillity.
Due to its geographical location it is also a good starting point for tourist itineraries in the nearby towns rich in history or in cities such as Pisa and Lucca, for days at the seaside in Versilia or in the Cinque Terre, for walks in the mountains along the paths of Apuan Alps.
A trusted person is available on call to meet your needs during your stay and will keep the pool clean.
