Warm Tuscan castle apartment

Our family's beloved apartment - part of what was once a castle - is recently refurbished with fresh paint and new furnishings. It has two bedrooms, a large and welcoming kitchen/living room, one bath, and our favorite space, the outdoor patio with a beautiful view of the Apuan Alps. Our patio is unique in our neighborhood, as it was once the base of a tower. This outdoor space has an awning for comfortable dining outside at any time of day. With high ceilings and thick stone walls, this apartment has a feeling of ageless serenity. Not a tourist neighborhood, this is an Italian village, where one is surrounded by Italian life.
Make yourself comfortable in this apartment, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private balcony or patio. Conveniences include a coffee/tea maker and a washing machine.
This apartment features books, games, and ecotours nearby. Amenities and recreational activities include a video library, designated smoking areas, and hiking/biking trails nearby.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Great location and helpful owner
This part of Italy 🇮🇹 is lovely! The property owner was very helpful. The apartment is a genuine part of an old castle. Not a touristy place. Just a genuine old fashioned apartment. It’s very basic.

If you stay here once, you will come again over and over
This place was wonderful, particularly if you want to relax and not be in a tourist rat race to see everything in Italy. This place is a bit off the tourist route, not many locals spoke English even though we easily got by with what little we know. The house is very comfy and the view out the windows and on the balcony is spectacular. We found we had no need to go anywhere but back and forth to the kitchen to refill our wine glasses and get more cheese! The local village (Soliera / Rometta) was very picturesque, very old and just like a postcard. The local hills are filled with little mom and pop restaurants that served delicious food every bit as good as the more fancy (and expensive) restaurants in town. Just taking a evening drive into the surrounding hills was a joy, but be warned, the roads are very narrow, steep and windy. Aulla is about 6-7 miles away and it had every amenity we could want and then some, but the local stores had a great supply of the essentials...wine , cheese, crackers salami, and great fresh bread! The kitchen is well equipped to cook up a storm, the neighbors were friendly and helpful. It was a easy one hour train trip to Cinque Terra or into the local mountains. The train station is about 1/2 mile away with free parking. Bring a good book(s) and relax, the place is divine,..... and don't miss a sunset on the balcony!

Views and more
I used to visit a family home just a few doors up from this location. So I was quite familiar with the spectacular views. The apartment is well laid out and has most conveniences. We found it very useful visiting a pile of nearby places by car. Could have done with some milk in the fridge though.

Fantastic!
The apartment was clean and well-maintained. It is a mixture of rustic architecture and modern conveniences. The good wifi reception was appreciated. It was fantastic to wake up every morning, sit on the balcony and have breakfast while admiring the view of the mountains. The evenings aspect of the scenery was totally different to the mornings as we sat eating our evening meals watching the colours of the mountains change with the setting sun. We were met by Mirjam who welcomed us to the village and showed us around the apartment. She was in touch with us during our stay, making sure that everything was OK. We are already planning our next trip and hope that we can stay in the apartment again. We would recommend this as a great place to stay.

An amazing property with a view that is unforgettable
An apartment created from an old castle. It has everything that you would need in a home. We were able to cook and relax and enjoy the stunning view. The location seems remote but was an easy access to all the attractions that one would want to visit. Mirjam was very helpful and friendly. Look for the Spring water dispenser at the parking lot where Mirjam first meets you. 5 cents a liter and delicious. I look forward to staying there again.

Scoprire la Lunigiana (e le Apuane)
L'appartamento è situato in posizione strategica per visitare una zona ancora poco conosciuta ma splendida della Toscana e per le escursioni sui sentieri delle Alpi Apuane. La casa è fresca, pulita e dotata di tutto quanto necessario (ottima la dotazione della cucina). Il balcone gode di una vista splendida sulle Apuane e consente di mangiare all'aperto. Facili e gradevoli Il check-in e out grazie alla simpatia e professionalità della persona incaricata. Siamo, insomma, rimasti molto soddisfatti.

Un bon break
Nous avons passé un séjour reposant dans ce petit village retiré, loin de la cohue touristique Nous avons toutefois pu facilement nous rendre aux Cinqueterrre (très tôt le matin) mais aussi à Lucca et Florence. Sans oublier la côte la plus proche, à 1/2 heure (Lérici) Ne pas manquer non plus le merveilleux site de Portovenere La maison est bien agencée et nous a permis d'avoir un peu de frais la nuit mais aussi une terrasse très bien exposée et très appréciable Ghislaine et Marc

Accogliente, rilassante e caratteristico.
Casa pulita, ben tenuta, c'è tutto il necessario. Contesto caratteristico e molto rilassante. Terrazzo molto bello e spazioso con vista notevole. La Sig.ra che ci ha accolto è stata molto gentile e ci ha dato tutte le indicazioni necessarie. La posizione è favorevole sia per visitare le cinque terre e la versilia, sia per passeggiate in montagna o visita alle terme. Consigliato.

Zeer compleet huis in een prachtige omgeving
We hebben 2 heerlijke weken gehad in dit zeer compleet ingerichte huis dat is gelegen in een kasteel muur. Een heerlijk groot terras aan de voorzijde met een geweldig uitzicht. Vanuit Soliera is de omgeving perfect te verkennen, alles is op relatief korte afstand te bereiken. Zwemmen is ook mogelijk in een nabij gelegen riviertje of een betaald zwembad een paar minuten verderop. In het dorpje zelf kun je 's morgens brood kopen, alles op loop afstand. Bij aankomst werden we vriendelijk ontvangen door Mirjam die reeds een drankje en een snack had klaar staan voor ons! Zeker voor herhaling vatbaar, een echte aanrader!!!

Geschmackvolle Wohnung in ruhiger Lage
Die Wohnung ist großzügig, geschmackvoll und doch persönlich eingerichtet. Sie bietet viel Platz, so dass auch sechs Personen sich nicht in die Quere kommen. Bei einer solchen Belegung wäre lediglich das eine und recht kleine Bad von Nachteil. Wir waren zu zweit und haben die Ruhe sehr genossen; ebenso die herrliche Terrasse mit ihrem wunderbaren Ausblick, den man bei schlechtem Wetter auch von der großen Küche aus genießen kann. Die Küche bietet alles, was man braucht, sogar zwei(!) Spülen und ein gemütliches Sofa. Als sehr angenehm empfanden wir, wie sauber und gepflegt alles gehalten ist. Der Empfang durch Mirjam war sehr freundlich. Wir haben uns mit ihr in Rometta, einem nahe gelegenen Dorf getroffen, von wo aus sie uns nach Soliera geführt hat. Dort warteten bereits leckere Speisen und Getränke auf uns, so dass wir nicht gleich einkaufen gehen mussten. Im Dorf findet man zwei kleine Lebensmittelläden und eine Bar; in Rometta gibt es eine Mineralwasser"quelle", wo man für ein paar Cent gekühltes und bei Bedarf auch mit Kohlensäure versetztes Wasser abzapfen kann. Das Wasser - auch das aus der Leitung im Haus - ist übrigens ausgesprochen wohlschmeckend. Soliera bietet einen guten Standort um Ausflüge nach SW zu den Cinque Terre zu machen (Das Auto lässt man dann am besten in La Spezia und kauft sich am Bahnhof eine Tageskarte für die CinqueTerre, mit der man zwischen La Spezia und Levanto mit dem Zug in alle Richtungen fahren und auch die Wanderwege benutzen kann). Sehr schön ist es auch, einfach mal mit dem Auto ins Blaue zu fahren - wir gerieten dabei zu dem hübschen Ort Fosdinovo und seiner mittelalterlichen Burg. Eine Stunde Fahrtzeit braucht man, wenn man die Bergstraße hoch nach Ceretto Laghi fährt in den schönen Parco Nazionale dell' Appennino Tosco Emiliano. Dort kann man verschiedene Wanderwege begehen und sollte sich wärmere Kleidung mitnehmen - wir erlebten jedenfalls einen Temperaturunterschied von 10°C, aber dafür auch wunderbar klare, leichte Luft. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und können den Aufenthalt in dieser Gegend und in dieser Ferienwohnung sehr empfehlen!

Karakteristiek appartement, sfeervol ingericht, mooi uitzicht en groot terras
We (twee volwassenen met twee pubers) hebben een prima week doorgebracht in dit sfeervolle, ruime, schone, goed ingerichte appartement. Het appartement ligt in een klein dorpje op een heuvel. Het uitzicht is daardoor mooi. Veel zon op het ruime terras, met gelukkig een groot zonnescherm. Wifi werkt goed. In de buurt is veel te doen. Een openbaar zwembad op 5 minuten rijden. Verschillende leuke pittoreske dorpjes (Fosdinovo, Fivizzano, Lerici, etc.) op 15-45 minuten rijden. Ook de zee is niet ver weg. In de woning ligt een map met veel informatie en ook de (Nederlandssprekende) eigenaresse gaf de nodige tips.

logement tres propre.
Nous avons aimé notre séjour à Fivizzano car il a allié la découverte des 5 terres qui sont très touristiques aux découvertes plus inattendues de petits villages dans leur jus et de randonnées merveilleuses. La terrasse de l'appartement est un véritable observatoire sur la vie au pied du charmant village. L'épaisse construction propose une fraicheur appréciable a qui sait jouer avec l'ensoleillement. C'est le lieu idéal pour ceux qui aiment sortir des sentiers battus. Accueil parfait et relation commerciale très honnête.
