The ‘Castagnola’ Agritourism is set in the middle of the Ceserana Torrent Valley, at an altitude of 900 metres above sea level. It faces the Apuan Alps and the peaceful setting is interrupted only by the sound of the bells on the sheep and goats that graze in the area. Castagnola -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Where we are -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- House plan -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Your stay The ‘Castagnola’ is distinguished by its adherence to ecological policy: Solar panels provide 1kw of electrical energy which is sufficient to run a refrigerator, lighting, television and radio, as well as a hairdryer or other small electrical appliances. The house is heated by a wood stove, (free wood is provided) which runs the central heating and provides hot water for the bathroom and kitchen. The kitchen is fitted with everything necessary for the preparation of meals: a small gas cooker, saucepans and cutlery etc, as well as a beautiful fireplace which can be used for cooking grilled meat. There is also an English recipe book which will help with the preparation of the local traditional dishes for which the area is well known. The owners are willing to provide a ‘welcome’ basket of food containing local products, some of which they prepared themselves, for example the famous local sweet chestnut flour as well as other products used in the area.
