About this property

Villa with own pool, mountain village with restaurant and shop. North of Lucca



Casa Laura is set in the medieval village of Sillico, 700 metres above sea level in the Garfagnana valley, north of Lucca. This spacious villa offers not only comfortable accommodation but spectacular panoramic views of the valley, Apuan Alps and Appeninne mountains.

The villa is our home for a proportion of the year and is decorated and furnished in a blend of modern and traditional styles. We want you to feel at home even when you are away.

The villa and swimming pool is for the sole use of the family or party that have booked it.

An ideal location choice for either a holiday, a workcation or a flexcation stay. Please contact us for monthly discounts. We are happy to alter the accommodation layout to accommodate any work space requirements.

The Garfagnana has an enormous amount to offer anyone who enjoys the outdoors. Whether it's cycling and mountain biking, hiking, horse riding, canyoning, spending the day amoungst the trees on a rope course or crossing the valley on a slip wire. The areas' diverse natural enviroment is well suited to a wide range of outdoor activities.

Casa Laura's accommodation is divided over two floors. On the ground floor you have a lounge and study area complete with free WIFI unlimited internet access, a kitchen with dining area, bathroom and the twin bedroom.

The kitchen is spacious and well equipped with a five ring gas cooker and seating for 6.

Upstairs are two double bedrooms and a bathroom.

The large terrace is accessible from the first floor and provides a convivial area for al fresco dining and general relaxing.

The house also includes a wood burning pizza oven and off street parking for two cars.

A complimentary mid stay clean is available upon request.

If your holiday dates aren't being accepted by the system please contact me. I may be able to accommodate them.

The village benefits from having a combined popular restaurant, small shop and bar. There are well stocked supermarkets, independant shops, bars and a choice of restaurants a short drive away in Pieve Fosciana.

A perfect base to discover the popular destinations of Lucca, Barga, Pisa, Florence and Siena either by car or by train from Castelnuovo di Garfagnana. The Ferrari museum and race track at Maranello and the World Heritage site, Le Cinque Terra also make great days out. Seven walking paths start and finish in Sillico, enabling you enjoy, relax and emerse yourself in the natural beauty of the countryside. L'Orrido di Botri, a natural gorge and La Grotta del Vento are also worth a visit.

We live a short distance away and are on hand as much or as little as required. We always try to welcome our guests upon arrival and settle you in. Our reviews give an unbiased judgement and truthfull picture of our villa and the surrounding area.

A local tourist tax of 1 euro per person over the age of 14, for a max of 5 nights is payable upon arrival, in cash.

About the host

Hosted by Yvonne Melli

Host profile image
We are Yvonne and Delfo Melli, your hosts. We came to the Garfagnana on holiday, fell in love with the area and were subsequently in a position to return and buy Casa Laura. We bought it as our holiday home but once Delfo retired we decided to leave the UK and make the permanent move to Italy. Fortunately, a decision that we haven’t regretted. Casa Laura is our home during the winter months and during the summer we live a few kilometres away in a small hamlet above Sillico. We have a passion for growing our own vegetables and a love of cooking, open spaces, walking, nature and history. All of which is possible and on the doorstep in this beautiful part of Italy.

Why they chose this property

We bought Casa Laura because firstly we fell in love with the spectacular views and secondly because of Sillico and it’s ideal geographical location. The village is small but full of character and history. It still has, unlike many of the villages in this area a thriving community which welcomed us from day one. It has a popular restaurant, bar and small shop. A short drive down from this idyllic mountain retreat and you are in Pieve Fosciana or Castelnuovo di Garfagnana, the capital of the Garfagnana where there are numerous supermarkets, restaurant, bars and local shops.

What makes this property unique

Because for half of the year Casa Laura is our home perhaps it’s not surprising that many of our guests comment upon how much the house feels like ” a home from home” during their stay. Popular tourist destinations such as Lucca, Pisa and Florence are all easily accessible whilst Casa Laura set within beautiful countryside has the perfect outside dining, swimming pool and garden to relax in.
Because we live here all year round we have an in-depth knowledge of the area and it’s amenities and we are on hand as much as required to answer any queries and assist in whatever way we can to ensure our guests have an enjoyable and memorable stay.
