La Rocchina is a mountain farmhouse in Tuscany, Italy, 10 km from the medieval city of Pistoia, which is half way between Florence and Lucca and was named Cultural Capital of Italy 2017.

La Rocchina sleeps 6-7 people in three bedrooms and is available from April-November.
La Rocchina is one of three houses in a chestnut forest above the small hill town of Baggio. Getting there requires a 7-10 minute walk up a stone mule path from the end of the paved road (where you can park) or a 20 minute walk from the village bus stop. Guests should be reasonably fit and comfortable walking on uneven ground. Luggage and groceries are transported by 4WD on arrival and departure day.

Très belle maison !
Nous avons passé un très bon séjour dans cette belle maison sur les hauteurs de Baggio. La nature autour est magnifique.
