End of May we spent one week in Le Capanne 1. We were 3 adults and one little child, 2 years old and we had space enough in that flat. There's one living room with open kitchen, one sleeping room (with bathroom) which could be closed and one stair higher there's another double bed with bathroom. The flat was very clean and gives space enough for all of us. The kitchen is fully equipped but don't forget to bring the essentials like sugar, salt, pepper, coffee etc. with you. In front of the entrance there is a big wooden table, fantastic for breakfast or dinner outside.
In the mountain the Wifi is not the best but the connection is good enough.
Le Capanne is about 10 km far away from Gallicano where you can find a big shopping centre. The street from there to Le Capanne is narrow and winding and you need at least 20-25 min. by car one way. The area around the houses (there are also Le Capanne 2, 3 and 4 built together) with the big pool is very neat and tidy.
For adults it's very pleasant, a really location to find calm and recreation, little children could need some toys like a swing set or the possibility playing in a sand box. But we knew in advance that is was not in that place.
When we arrived we were picked up at the shopping centre in Gallicano by Daniele Saisi, the owner of that holiday house, and he guided us to the location. He was very friendly and helped us giving tips for restaurants in the environment. We followed these recommendations and were absolutely not disappointed. Especially two restaurants are mentioned here, Il Totto in Sassi and L'Altana in Barga.
There's no problem to make excursions from the house. The bigger cities, Lucca and Pisa, are reachable within one hour by car and especially the Old Town of Lucca is worth to be visited.
All in all we enjoyed the stay in Le Capanne very much and could recommend this location at any time. It's sure we will come back.
