The Casale 'Casa sotto la torre' is located in the shadow of the medieval Clock Tower, still functioning, immersed in the green chestnut groves that surround the entire village.
Exposed completely to the south, it offers from its windows a panorama that has no equal, where, further down, set among tall firs, is the ancient Pieve of the village.
Casa Il Nido has everything a tourist seeks the essence of rural Italy requires.
Casa Il Nido is the smallest of four apartments on the property. It is equipped with modern kitchen and bathroom equipment along with stone floors and walls, lace curtains and antiques. The view from the windows and the door is beautiful, and overlooks the ancient bell tower of the village and the nearby mountains.
Casa Il Nido has a beautiful wooden patio with a small exclusive Jacuzzi that enhances its uniqueness.
The garden is characterized by multi-level rocky walls full of walking paths with beautiful flowers, pots of herbs and vineyards covered with pylons. Here we can experience that delicious feeling of "old Italy" that every tourist wants. Sitting outside in one of the many benches writing or reading ... This would be a perfect place to spend a month or more for a writer, painter or anyone looking for beauty or a place to think and be creative. Boveglio is a delightful medieval village where Casa Sotto la Torre is located, it can be reached by car driving north for 15 kilometers on the narrow, SP 55 of Collodi or south for 10 km on the SP 55 from Bagni de Lucca. The house is located on the SP55 just at the northwest entrance of the village of Boveglio. There is a bus service to and from, but a car is probably needed. We found two good restaurants and a small but well-stocked grocery market in a village called Benabbio, 5 kilometers north of Boveglio. We loved this place and when we come back we stay longer.
Brief history: The farmhouse dates back to the late 1700s, and has just been restored by the owners keeping intact the characteristics of Tuscan architecture, with exposed stone walls, paved in hand-made bricks and ceilings in chestnut beams and bricks.
The furniture is the original and the atmosphere that you breathe is that of the past, where the pace of life seems to slow down ....
The first document referring to Boveglio dates back to 757 AD. c. The village is enclosed within the walls, and has a very rich artistic heritage, where stands the imposing Clock Tower, which in medieval times also served as a tower for the sighting of enemy armies.
The current economy of the country is linked to agriculture to harvest chestnuts, where flour is excellent, and to the development of quality tourism.
