About this property
Traditional stone villa with terrace & gardens, in the hills of Lunigiana, Northern Tuscany.
Casa Nirvana is a traditional, stone built detached villa with balconies, terrace and garden. It has been lovingly restored and refurbished by the present owner and features cotto floors and an open fire, together with a pleasing blend of traditional and contemporary styling. Accommodation is provided on 3 levels: ground floor cooking and living, first floor bathroom, master bedroom and second bedroom and second floor mansarda (King sized room at the top). The landscaped garden boasts a spacious terrace for alfresco dining, sunbathing, or simply enjoying the magnificent scenery; and the enclosed lawn provides a safe play area for children. Car parking is both ample and convenient. Being just 1 hour from Pisa airport and within reach of excellent beaches and skiing, Casa Nirvana is centrally located in Lunigiana. It is a perfectly luxurious hillside retreat, for those not inclined to venture far; yet is ideally situated for the more adventurous to explore this beautiful part of Italy.

About the host
Hosted by Gillian Osborne
We live on a smallholding in rural North Yorkshire and we share our UK home with Biba the Labrador, Delilah the Norfolk Terrier, Wilma Beagle, Mr Binx, Mrs Peacock, Isabella and Skye the cats, 3 horses, 2 highland cattle, a collection of geese and hens & a small flock of sheep! Life is not dull. It's not quite "The Good Life" because we don't live off the land, but we love the countryside and the idiosyncrasies of life in a country village. We have a long standing love of Italy. There is a passion about the way Italians do things; their food, their wine, their love of family, their style. The country is so historically and culturally rich. We originally set out to buy a holiday home but inevitably we have put down some Italian roots & Casa Nirvana is truly our second home.
Why they chose this property
The food, wine, climate and culture were the reasons why we chose to buy another home in Tuscany, Italy. But there are so many beautiful areas in Tuscany that it took us a while to figure out precisely where we wanted to be. It had to be somewhere not too commercialised or touristy, somewhere that felt authentically Italian and somewhere easily accessible by road and air, because difficult travel arrangements would be a disincentive to popping over for short stays. We spent a long time looking at various properties, initially in the Garfagnana, but nothing seemed right. Then we found Lunigiana and instinctively knew this was the place. It has the coast, the mountains, a rich cultural heritage and such natural beauty. We felt at home.
What makes this property unique
Having decided to focus our search on properties in Lunigiana, we set about drawing up a list of all the things that were important to us in our holiday home. Most of the houses and apartments just have terraces, but we definitely wanted a garden. Somewhere to put the sun lounger, the paddling pool and the football. Secondly, although we were not looking to have purely beach or skiing holidays, we wanted the option of spending a day at the coast or on the piste, without having to travel too far. We also wanted to be within an hour of an airport, central for sightseeing and handy for amenities. But we also yearned for somewhere peaceful and relaxing, where we could unwind and immerse ourselves in genuine Italian culture. Casa Nirvana ticked all the boxes on our very tall order!
