Lama Piana: Authentic Tuscan Living with Complete Space, Privacy, and Panoramic Views
Perched on an elevated meadow near San Romano in Garfagnana, Lama Piana features two independent stone cottages rented together as a single private estate. Offering dramatic views across the valley toward the Apuan Alps, it is an ideal retreat for multi-generational families or two groups holidaying together who want shared outdoor spaces alongside individual privacy.
• Capacity: Sleeps 12 in standard beds (up to 14 with 2 optional single beds)
• Bedrooms: 6 bedrooms total (3 per cottage)
• Bathrooms: 4 shower rooms total (2 per cottage)
• Pool: 10m x 5m private swimming pool, fully fenced and gated for child safety
• Grounds: Vast, completely flat, fully fenced lawns (rare for this mountainous area)
• Pet-Friendly: Dogs welcome (subject to booking conditions)
Both stone cottages retain classic Tuscan character—exposed chestnut beams, terracotta floors, and original stonework—paired with fresh decor and modern amenities throughout:
• Matching Layouts: Each cottage has its own private entrance, comfortable living room with fireplace and TV, fully equipped kitchen, 3 bedrooms, and 2 shower rooms.
• Sleeping Setup (Per Cottage): 1 double bedroom, 2 twin bedrooms (one twin can be prepared as a double on advance request), plus space for 1 optional extra single bed.
• Modern Comforts in Both: Modern kitchens (dishwasher, oven, hob, microwave, fridge-freezer), washing machine, Wi-Fi, and insect screens on all windows for summer comfort.
• Private Outdoor Living: Each cottage features its own shaded dining terrace and barbecue, giving both families their own dedicated space for alfresco morning coffee or evening meals. There is also room for the entire group to dine al fresco together.
Exceptional Outdoor Grounds
• Rare Flat Grounds: Unlike most hillside Tuscan villas, the extensive gardens are completely flat and securely fenced, providing safe running room for children and dogs.

• Flexible Gathering: Dine or relax together or apart.
