About

Between the hills of the Garfagnana and the peaks of the Apuan Alps, a short distance from Lucca and far from the bustle of the tourist trail, Antisciana still wears the face of an older Tuscany: olive groves stepping down in terraces, grey stones warmed by summer, a silence that only the cicadas dare to break. It is in this landscape that Farm Palazzina takes its place — an agriturismo that has managed to preserve the soul of a working farm while welcoming groups with genuine warmth.

The apartments, spread across the property's various buildings, have been designed for communal living as much as for family privacy. Practical and well-kept, they comfortably sleep around twenty people — a rare configuration that groups of friends or family gatherings appreciate at once. You settle in, find your bearings, and quickly understand that the place is built to feel like home.

The heart of life at Farm Palazzina is the pool. Beautiful, well-positioned, surrounded by greenery, it naturally becomes the gathering point for long Tuscan afternoons. Children have their own play area, freeing the adults to unwind under the parasols with a well-chilled glass of vernaccia. The owner and his team oversee all of this with genuine attentiveness — always ready to point you toward a local farmers' market, a trattoria that hasn't made it onto the apps, or a hiking trail that leads to hidden panoramas.

Inland Tuscany reveals itself here at a different pace. Not the pace of tourist buses in Siena or Florence, but that of a region that takes its time uncovering its flavors: the lardo di Colonnata from just nearby, the autumn chestnuts, the wines of the Colline Lucchesi. An hour's drive is all it takes to experience any of these before returning to settle back beside the water.

What groups carry home from Farm Palazzina is less a list of sights than a physical memory of a week in which nothing was ever rushed — the sound of water in the pool, the meal that stretched into the evening, and that golden light that only Tuscany knows how to lay across the hills at the end of the day.

We had booked a stay at Agriturismo La Palazzina this summer. We had read the ratings as “very good” but ended up finding a room in such bad condition we ended up leaving the place with nowhere else to sleep. The host was kind to talk to, but showed no option to solve or compensate the booking.

Excellent property. The owner and his staff were always ready to accommodate our requests and offer valuable advice. The apartments were very clean and functional. The pool was beautiful. The property is surrounded by vast lawns and lush greenery. Our two dogs were welcomed and pampered. We highly recommend it.

Amazing place, nothing to complain about. Very friendly and helpful staff. The pool and playground are lovely, and you can have a wonderful and enjoyable holiday. We went in a group of 20 people, both adults and children, and the spaces and opportunities to spend time were excellent. I highly recommend it :)

A multi-apartment complex, all spread across a property with a huge green space. Parking is easy, just 10 meters from the apartment. Tidy rooms, standard furnishings, so don't expect super-modern rooms. I think the price per night is average considering the location. A 5-minute drive to the center of Castelnuovo. €90 from Booking. No breakfast, but you can easily cook. A Conad supermarket is 3 minutes away. The nice thing about it is the excellent pool. Congratulations. There's also a stone ping-pong table 🏓. A small tip: 2 slightly newer rackets would be helpful. ☺️ You have to ask for a hairdryer at the front desk; it's not left in the bathroom. Have a great holiday.

This is the third time in four years that we've spent our family vacation at this beautiful farmhouse. The place is ideal for large families: there are seven of us, including our dog. Pets are welcome on the property. It's also ideal for groups of friends or solo vacations. Prices are affordable and popular. The choice was to keep the space and furnishings rustic, simple, without too much ostentation, fully in keeping with the spirit of the Garfagnana. This doesn't mean a lack of quality; quite the opposite. The place is well-maintained, clean, spacious, surrounded by greenery, with fantastic views. The accommodations are well-furnished, clean, and well-maintained. There are barbecue areas, a common room with Wi-Fi, and fruit trees. Furthermore, there's a wonderful swimming pool, the jewel in the crown of the estate, perfect for children, teenagers, and adults. Both the pool and the rooms (including bathrooms) are designed to be accessible to everyone with physical disabilities. Last but not least, the strong point of this agriturismo is the welcoming, carefree, and kind atmosphere that pervades the property. The staff (gardener, cleaner) are friendly and welcoming, as are Stefano (the owner), his wife, and his charming mother. Stefano is always available to make everyone feel at ease and conveys his passion and love for the Garfagnana region beautifully. He has vast knowledge of the area and is always ready with countless tips for exploring these places, so rich in culture, nature, and adventure, amidst villages, towns, and natural gems. This agriturismo is highly recommended for anyone and every occasion. We will definitely be returning for a fourth time.
