Piazza al Serchio Independent accommodation

Best breakfast view ever!

It was a real unusual property, a rustic village house. There is a little known castle ruin a short walk up the hill. Loved the washing machine, fire, cat and the helpful owner. It is hard to find, park at the town crossroads and walk up and right. But the locals will point you to it.

This space was authentically rustic and very livable. Modern kitchen conveniences, comfortable beds, plenty immediate hot water & pressure. Large outdoor space was equipped for relaxed viewing the expanse of Viareggio/Ligurian Sea in day & a plethora of twinkling nighttime lights. The host and hostess were attentive and available providing ready assistance. The yummy pound cake and fresh fruit: a special touch.. We enjoyed evenings by fireside and ample wood was supplied. For us, 3 women, more shower soap and heat on the first floor would be welcomed. However the ample supply of blankets more then adequately sufficed. I highly recommend planning your initial arrival in the day light hours to enjoy the view while ascending and to be able to see the road as there are no white lines, pedestrians and scooters use the very narrow circuitous 2-way road. Our hostess thankfully met us in her car at the most severe right turn to finish the ascent to their place. That was a big help. They also helped us carry our luggage up the slight incline from the parking space. In addition the ground floor is just that. The first floor is up steep narrow-ish steps with a sturdy railing. Good mobility is essential for this place and well worth the views and serene setting. In all it was ideal for us to have a respite from city touring in Milan, Florence, Pisa and Lucca…all essential stops. The rustic part was in the Italianate construction of exposed stone walls. It certainly was great!
