Vacapedia Vacation Rentals Blog

Rometta is a very interesting borgo in northern Tuscany’s undiscovered Lunigiana region. The village itself is made up of little stone houses packed densely around a small hill. Despite its small size, Rometta has lots of services, including a train station. You can get to Lucca and beyond via the little motorino that chugs through the Lunigiana and the Garfagnana on its way to the walled city of Lucca.

Medieval rental houses with vaulted ceilings like you see in the picture of Torre di Rometta on the left are few and far between. Romantic, eh? Plus there’s a terrace with views of the river and Apennines.

Here’s a place where you can roll out those medieval fantasies of yours. There’s a firplace in the living room where you can roast the wild boar you plan on shooting with your crossbow. Watch out for the tusks when you’re butchering it though.

Oh, and at the base of the hill upon which the borgo stands sits one of the most disappointingly ugly modern churches I’ve ever come across, an eyesore that medieval builders couldn’t manage to produce in a million years. You can’t have everything, they say wisely.

But your vacation rental is well above the church, so your medieval fantasies can remain intact as you gaze out over the Lunigiana landscape from your private terrace. And four folks can stay for just over 500 Euros. Check out the northern Tuscany vacation rental: Torre di Rometta
