The lovely peaceful Lunigianese countryside is historically famous for its 100 castles going back to medieval times. Below one of these our B&B can be found;it is the "Castello di Malgrate".From here one gets good view of its splendid tower.Beneath the glaze of the Appennines one can partake of such activities as "trekking" or riding and all the time be immersed in the beauty of medieval villages perched on hills on nestling in the delightful valleys of Lunigiana. In the sport centre of Villafranca one can keep oneself in form on the exellent tennis courts or swim in the olimpionic size pool with its smaller one for childrens. The restaurants in the district offer their own cusine with tipical dishes based on funghi,pasties,salumi and home made pasta together with chestnuts.The last named are one of the most important of local resorces.Althought Malgrate is a very tranquil place in which to stay it has exellent communications with such famous places as Siena,Pisa, Carrara,the Bay of Poets and the 5 Terre.
