At the foot of the mountain villages, of Bagni di Lucca, lies Ponte a Serraglio. An interesting village which is divided by the River Lima and is 130m above sea level. One side of the river has the beautiful Villa Fiori with its large carpark and park area that leads
down to the river. Its turrets sit on the banks of the river and invite you to walk across the newly constructed footbridge to the other side of Ponte a Serraglio. There the Casino delle Terme can be found and the Demidoff hospital which is part of the Villagio
Globale complex.
Casa del Fiume, a pretty detached stone house, arranged on 2 levels, sits in the hills above Ponte a Serraglio. It has a balcony and an attached garden which produces lovely plums in the summer months which you are free to pick and enjoy. The house is suitable for holidays during the autumnal and winter months, as it has central heating.
On your arrival you will be greeted and welcomed to Ponte a Serraglio. We will show you how the appliances work, ensure that you settle in and we will be on hand to help in any way that we can to ensure that your stay is an enjoyable one.
A small hamper containing basic food items, should you feel a little hungry after your journey, is provided with our compliments. A selection of wine is also provided for your enjoyment.
An information pack filled with useful information, places to visit and good restaurants etc. will help with the ideas in planning your holiday here in Tuscany.
We look forward to welcoming you soon!

Children are most welcome, however, care must be taken with the little ones as the stairs are made of stone. A cot, high chair and changing mat can be provided, if required.
Some elderly residents do live in the area and Casa del Fiume is suitable for elderly guests provided that they are mobile and able to walk with ease.
It is not possible to park outside the property and it is reached by walking up a gradual slope and then a number of steps. It is possible to drive up the slight slope to unload suitcases, shopping etc. but then the car must be parked on the main road, on the road near the Global Village or in the free car park on the other side of the river. Itʼs about a 10 minute walk to the house from there.
Restaurants are within easy walking distance, about a 5 minute walk along the river. Buses are easily accessible from the square in Ponte a Serraglio.
Mountain bike treks and walks are literally on the doorstep, so the urge to explore the country side is never very far away.
Bring your bikes to experience the breathtaking scenery. Alternatively, bikes can be provided and you are most welcome to use them should you wish.

Reviews:
We all felt quite honoured to be the first guests
in your delightful Tuscan Villa! We have been very
comfortable and the week has been full enjoying the
local (and distant!) cultural sights and countryside.
May you and your family have a wonderful summer and continued success.
