Apartment

Happy Donkeys


The apartment Fontana (approximately 70 m2)  consists of a large kitchen (with fireplace), which is connected by a wide open passage to the spacious living/bedroom where there is also a sleeping area with a double bed and a spacious bathroom.

The apartment is very tastefully decorated with a mix of Italian, Dutch and Asian antiques. By means of a curtain, a sleeping area can be created with two single beds.

In front of the kitchen is a pergola, where you can eat outside.

Small-scale, authentic and child-friendly. The farm "Gli Asini Felici" (The Happy Donkeys) is located in the middle of vineyards, olive groves and forests against the foothills of the Apennines at an altitude of about 450 meters.

From the property you have a beautiful view over the valley of Pescia and Uzzano (province of Pistoia). You can even see Lucca and Monte Serra, behind which Pisa lies and in clear weather you can catch a glimpse of the sea.

A winding road takes you to the farm "The Happy Donkeys", which has been completely ecologically rebuilt and equipped with all modern comforts (see "Photo report" under the heading "Surroundings" for a detailed report of the renovation).

We have dogs, cats and two donkeys, who can sometimes bray at night. Dogs are welcome (max. two per host family), provided they are of course social with the other animals. Please let us know when booking.

May I introduce myself: I'm Doesjka Korthals and have been living in Italy since 1982. In 2004, I have an old, bought dilapidated farmhouse, which was demolished and rebuilt according to ecological principles Pianacci. Since 2008 I live here with Mikky and Stefan, a Romanian couple who had been living with me in my previous home. Together we run my country stuff Gli Asini Felici (Happy Donkeys) with associated farm site and hope to welcome this summer.
