The Fairy property is a pretty village house built of mellow stone and set in the tiny hilltop village of Lanciole and formed from part of a huge stone building dating back to the 1200's - and which a Ghibelline castle. The Ghibellines who sided with the holy roman Emperor fought aginst the Guelphs who supported the Pope over the right to rule the nothern part of Italy. The Village lies in the hills to the north of Pescia and Montecatini - a very picturesque area ideal for touring or relaxing in delightful surroundings. The property itself is full character with a cosy cottage feel where you will feel really "at home". The Castle sits at the edge of the little village and is surrounded by miles of woodlandwhere you can enjoy long walks and the whole area is a patchwork of medioeval hilltop villages which are all worth a visit. Lanciole, though tiny, has a bar/pizzeria which also sells a few basic foodstuffs whilst in ancient times the village was known to have produced "lancia" or spears and other arms. The area makes a good base for touring being within easy driving distance of many famous places including Lucca, Pisa and Florence.
