  • Dog-friendly stays among chestnut trees in the village of Grondola
  • A 15-minute drive from Pontremoli; an hour to the Ligurian coast
  • Sports fields and archery on site; swim or fish in the local rivers
It’s likely you’ll soon grow fond of this farm in the Tuscan countryside. You see, the dog-friendly stays among the chestnut trees at Federico Farm in the hilly village of Grondola are very memorable indeed. Surrounded by woods and rivers, this is the place to go to get your outdoors fix… This hilly spot is usually cool and shaded, but if you need to cool down yet more, there’s a gorgeous river to bathe in a short drive away. Icier waters are in store at the Gorges of the Straits of Giaredo, 25 minutes’ drive away; thermal wetsuits may be needed for this plunge, actually. If you'd like to visit more tepid waters, it’s an hour’s drive from Federico Farm to the Liguria coast (famed for spots like Cinque Terre, which is an extra 20 minutes’ drive on top). First, get to know the local area; the site has information points if you need any pointers (like fishing in the local streams or searching for the popular local mushroom fungo di Borgotaro IGP). The farm is in the medieval village of Grondola, which has a hilltop castle abandoned in the 16th century. Stop by Pontremoli too. A 15-minute drive away, the small city has a small, steep lane leading to Castello del Piagnaro, as well as a bell tower, riverfront and a pretty piazza. In the right season, guests at Federico Farm are welcome to pick chestnuts from the trees. A fitness trail weaves through the woods for those who want to work up a sweat. There are also two sports fields for playing rugby, basketball, football and volleyball, as well as a trampoline and archery, darts, ping pong and badminton activiites. A large hall hosts events and entertainment.

Electric forest floor pitch (two person)

Liked: Toller Platz in einer schönen Umgebung. Man muss aber ein paar Serpentinen nach oben Kurven;) Der Platz mit Sanitär war sehr sauber. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Der Besitzer auch sehr nett und unkompliziert.

Local attractions

The Ligurian coast is famous around the world, so pack your beach gear up and head off for a day trip… you could go to Porto Venere (an hour and 35 minutes’ drive) to investigate its trails, clifftop castle and dive sites or Viareggio (an hour and 15 minutes), where there’s a Carnival Museum. You’re likely to have heard of Pisa (an hour and 40 minutes) and its Leaning Tower or maybe Lerici (an hour and 10 minutes) on the Italian Riviera, where poet Percy Bysshe Shelley met his demise. Lake Puccini (an hour and a half), surrounded by woods and mountains, is lesser known but equally as stunning. Cities of arts and culture are all around too, like the walled town of Volterra (two hours and 15 minutes) and Parma (an hour and a half). Lucca (an hour and a half) has Renaissance walls and a museum dedicated to opera composer Casa di Puccini.
