een kamer met een tweepersoonsbed en een enkel bed. Er kan met gemak nóg een enkel bed bij.
Capezzano is het naburige dorp. het is op loopafstand en heeft alleen twee winkeltjes, een slager en een restaurant, waar je ook koffie kunt drinken.
Op deze plek, het hart van het huis, wordt uitgebreid ontbeten. En soms, bij regen of gezelligheid, gaat de haard aan.

You just need oceans of time and a beautiful view for the inspiration to flow
Join us and spend some time in the North of Tuscany on top of a mountain where worldly seductions are kept at bay and you'll find the inspiration to start, finish or improve your work.
You will be writing individually while other guests are away for the day or at least respect your space and stilness while working. There is no mentor or coach available but I'll be your host.
Goings-ons
The Villa is on top of a hill near olive groves and woods ideal for hiking and there is a limited bus service to the near town of Pietrasanta. The tranquil atmosphere and the authentic hospitality in this 17th century family home make the retreat a heaven on a hill (see more reviews of guest of previous writing retreats on Tripadvisor).
Your accomodation is in our Bed & Breakfast. You'll have a single room with shared bathroom. You can write indoors or outdoors in the big shady garden and when you are not writing, you can read a book in a hammock or go for a walk, or take a daytrips to Lucca, Pisa or as far as Florence.
How to reach us
The nearest airport is Pisa. Connections from the UK are with British Airways, Easyjet and Ryanair.

How about lunch and dinner?
While breakfast is part of the deal, your lunch and dinner are up to you. There are a few options to consider: you either stroll down to the local pub for an affordable and tasty meal or you do your own shopping and stock everything in the communal frdge and cook or BBQ your food.
