Take a break!

Recharge your energy in the wild and authentic nature of the Apuan Alps

Peace, relax and nature. The Casetta della Chiocciola is located at 700m above the sea level, in the small village of Eglio (in the municipality of Molazzana; LU), within the Apuan Alps Park in a very quiet position with a magnificent view of the surrounding mountains.

Our place is the ideal starting point for easy walks in the nature and more challenging hikings on the Apuan Alps. Among these, the Rifugio Rossi, the summit of the Pania della Croce and the Monte Forato are among the best-known and more evocative attractions to visit. Moreover, a short distance from our holiday Home there is a wonderful natural rock climbing wall in the area called "Le Rocchette".

In the nearby village of Sassi it is possible to visit the Rocca estense, being part of an ancient fortification, dating from around 1000, including also the San Frediano church commissioned, according to tradition, by Matilde di Canossa. The walk that from the village leads to the top of the rock, should not be missed since it offers a unique view of the Panie Group and the Turrite valley.
