This is an old vicarage in the marble mountains north of Lucca, approx. 5 km from Fivizzano with its shopping, pharmacist, baker and some restaurants.


Cotto is a tiny village enjoying a wonderful setting above Fivizzano and inhabited by a few nice families. But don't expect to find shops or bars here – this is only for locals, cows and pigeons! The vicarage faces the old church which is hardly ever used today (but that does not prevent the bells from ringing now and again). The surrounding green countryside is lush and beautiful. You can drive to the coast in 45-50 minutes and visit both the Tuscan coast and the Nature Reserve of Le Cinque Terre, not far from the Italian Riviera.

The vicarage is spread over three floors. Not much remains of the original building as it was necessary to rebuild most of it during the comprehensive restoration to convert it to a delightful guest house for tourists. However, the old woodwork in the ceilings and other details from the past have been retained in the apartments. The garden around the house is perfect for children to play in as they can run around freely here. At the end of the garden, there is a car park, swimming pool with garden furniture and a barbecue for the guests. 


Each apartment is fitted with a kitchen with refrigerator and gas cooker with oven plus bathroom with shower:
- There is one two-room apartment (No. 5) on the first floor and facing the swimming pool. It has a small kitchen, living room with double sofa bed, bedroom with double bed, bathroom and balcony overlooking the pool and the valley.

- There are two three-room apartments, each sleeping six (No. 2 and No. 4).

Apartment No. 2
- occupies two floors and faces the old church. It has a living room with kitchenette, double sofa bed and wonderful views from the window on the ground floor. A steep staircase leads up to the bedrooms, one with double bed and one with two single beds, both with Velux windows, bathroom and access to the shared terrace next to the church with ample space for relaxed dinner parties.

Apartment No. 4
- is on the first floor. It has a living room with kitchenette and double sofa bed and a little balcony overlooking the swimming pool and the valley, a large bedroom with double bed and room for an extra bed if required, bedroom with two single beds and a bathroom.

- The last two apartments here also have three rooms, but they are bigger and belong the category "plus".
Apartment No. 1 and No. 3
They are similarly fitted out and share entrance with apartment No. 2. On opening the front door you enter a grand living room with double sofa bed and window with a wonderful view, large kitchen/dining room and a staircase up to first floor. Here is a bedroom with a double bed and a bedroom with two single beds and a bathroom. They both have access to the large shared terrace next to the church, which has garden furniture and sun umbrella plus ample space for al fresco eating.
The centre is managed by a caretaker who welcomes the guests every Saturday between 16.00 and 20.00 hours. He comes by on a regular basis to keep the pool clean. The centre is ideal for families with children – but please be aware of the steep steps leading to and from the swimming pool and also the ones in apartment Nos. 1, 2 and 3. The swimming pool is open from 15 June till 15 September – but dependent on weather conditions at the beginning and end of the period.
