Ginepri country house
Tuscan hills, stone walls, slower days
Stone walls, open countryside and a broad sweep of mountain scenery set the scene at Ginepri Country House. In Lunigiana, northern Tuscany, this restored country house and barn stand on four hectares of private land, between the coastlines of Cinque Terre and Versilia. The Apuan Alps form a striking backdrop, while a private swimming pool adds a leisurely counterpoint to time spent outdoors. The appeal here is less about a prescribed retreat style than the setting: a rural base for stepping back from everyday routines and enjoying this varied corner of Tuscany. The property is a paid stay, though rates, retreat dates and what a booking includes should be confirmed directly. If you want a stay built around a particular practice, ask the host what the dates include before booking.
