"We arrived after spending a day in Pisa and it was quite humid-hot but as we climbed higher and higher eventually reaching Ca’Luni in Casola in Lunigiana there was a definite fresher air still hot but not humid hot. We were greeted by our hosts whom were most welcoming and spoke very good English which as very helpful as my Italian was a little rusty! The position of Ca’Luni could not be better there is a lovely terraced garden with a small pool ideal for cooling off.
The upper floor terrace to the rear overlooks a National Park with the Apuan Alps mountains in the near distant vista, this is where we were served our breakfasts and evening meal.
We were upgraded to Casa Anna a lovely wee apartment very comfortable bed with great en-suite facilities.
The food here is quite outstanding freshly prepared breakfasts we also booked to eat our evening meals here, we are vegetarian and the food prepared by Antonio was so different and fresh and always packed with flavour, most of the fruit and vegetables are grown in their own garden, he is a chef to be reckoned with and he is fully backed by his wife Antonella she covers the front of house and more, has knowledge of the local vineyards and places to go.
We loved our short 3 day stay here in Ca’Luni so much so that we are organising in our heads when we could possibly return."
