Charming Restored Mill with Large Private Pool, Walkable to Local Facilities
Escape the crowds and enjoy an authentic stay in the mountainous Garfagnana countryside at this charming restored mill, peacefully located beside a small river just outside the village of Gallicano.
Offering excellent value for those looking for a private, traditional Italian retreat, Mulino Elena sits within a spacious fenced garden of olive trees and natural greenery, complete with a large private swimming pool (12m x 5m), BBQ area, picnic space and relaxing spots for enjoying the surrounding nature. The enclosed grounds make this a great choice for families, whilst the generous outdoor space is equally suited to couples or groups travelling together.
The property is arranged as two separate 2-bedroom apartments, both included in the price and let together to one group, allowing guests to enjoy privacy whilst still having their own space — ideal for extended families or two families holidaying together.
Full of character, the house features beamed ceilings, traditional flooring, chestnut-framed windows and exposed stonework, combined with modern comforts such as WiFi, smart TVs and a well-sized private pool.
Conveniently, the facilities of Gallicano — including bars, restaurants, bakery, pasticceria and supermarket — are within walking distance, making this a rare opportunity to enjoy a countryside setting without being isolated. The historic towns of Barga and Castelnuovo are both less than 10 minutes away by car, whilst the beautiful walled city of Lucca can be reached in approximately 40 minutes.

Ein wirklich schönes Objekt, sehr authentisch und mit wunderbarem Garten. Der Pool ist toll und wird auch täglich gereinigt. Sehr ruhig gelegen, perfekt für den Rückzug aus dem Alltag. Wir hatten alles, was wir brauchten. Sehr freundliche Vermieterin samt weiterer Mitglieder. Hat alles perfekt geklappt.

Thank you for your lovely feedback. We’re delighted you enjoyed the peaceful setting, the garden, and the pool. It’s also wonderful to hear everything went smoothly during your stay.
Best wishes,

Unser Aufenthalt war super angenehm. Wir konnten den ganzen Tag am Pool liegen und auf der schönen Terrasse essen. Wir hatten sehr viel Spass und es war rundum ein toller Urlaub.Grundsätzlich haben wir nichts auszusetzen. Die Eigentümer kamen jeden Morgen und jeden Abend vorbei um den Pool herzurichten und den Müll abzuholen. Mittags waren sie auch immer da um Dinge in eine der anderen Wohnungen zu bringen, aber ich denke, das ist normalerweise nicht der Fall. Sie waren sehr hilfsbereit und standen uns bei Fragen jederzeit zur Verfügung.Nach der Hälfte der Zeit wurden uns neue Handtücher und Bettbezüge gebracht.Als kleiner Hinweis: Ein Bidet ist nicht wie in den Angaben, vorhanden.
