Activities/Attractions: Pascoso, in the Tuscan province of Lucca, has just under 100 inhabitants and is so small, with such narrow stone roads, that cars enter town along a short strip of the main road only. Nearly all the houses in town are built in stone, including their rooftops, and the smooth stones of the streets were laid hundreds of years ago.
Not far from village (a 10- to 15-minute walk or 5-minute drive) is a charming little church on a tiny piazza, shaded in the summer by age-old trees. However, Pascoso is not far from the “cities of arts” of Tuscany: Lucca, Pisa, Florence and Siena are 15, 30, 60, and 95 miles away. And Forte dei Marmi and Viareggio, which are among the most famous Italian beaches, are only 30 miles far (approximately 45 minutes of driving).

"Many thanks to Fausto and his family for providing such a special place for us to share. The welcome by 3 generations of de Lallas upon arrival helped us immediately appreciate the pride of this family in their heritage and village. The kindness and generosity will not soon be forgotten."
"Thanks you so much Fausto and Marta for your hospitality, charm and children and grandchildren."
General Information: Welcome to Casa Marta - a farmhouse nestled in a small mountain town called Pascoso, in the Apuane Park, 2,231 feet above sea level. Pascoso, in the Tuscan province of Lucca, has just under 100 inhabitants and is so small, with such narrow stone roads, that cars enter town along a short strip of the main road only.
Our 18th century, fully restored stone farmhouse, spans roughly 110 square meters and is fully equipped with new and antique pieces. The house is truly lovely with three floors.
- On the ground floor there is one bedroom, with a
queen-size bed, one window and French doors. There is also a
bathroom (toilet, sink and bidet) and a laundry room (washing
machine and storage space for suitcases, etc.)
- The main entrance is on the second floor, where you will
find a kitchen and living room in an open floor plan, and a
bathroom complete with shower, plus a pantry (boiler, brooms,
etc.)
-
The master bedroom, spanning nearly 325 square feet with four windows, hardwood floors and wood beamed ceilings is on the top floor. It has two double beds, closets, a television, CD player, and so on. This room is not only ideal for sleeping, but also serves as the perfect playroom for small children
We have installed a central heating system. And, naturally, a working fireplace adorns the second floor as what farmhouse would be complete without one!

"Nowhere could be better than Toscana and no place more inviting than Pascoso and no home more enjoyable than Casa Marta. But most of all no hosts can surpass Fausto and Marta. The casa is lovely and highly functional, the view if lovely ... we enjoyed meeting several local inhabitants, friends and relatives of Marta and Fausto. We will dream about returning to Pascoso soon."
"Beautiful house, beautiful place and wonderful hosts ... we spent a week here on honeymoon ... all in all, we had a wonderful time ... many thanks."
