La Moriccia

Northwestern Tuscany


Sharpen your map-reading skills: this farmhouse, 8.6km south of Lari, is hidden in the hills at the end of a dirt track. Five rustic-chic rooms feature handmade beds and wrought-iron fittings – one even has an open fire. Cots, triples, a playground, a pool, farm animals and fantastic home cooking (dinner per person €30) including delicious homemade pasta strengthen the family appeal.

The property is 35km northeast of Castiglioncello, 2km outside Casciana Terme.
