Tempo Lento is a holiday home designed for those seeking a genuine break, surrounded by the tranquility of Lunigiana and nature. Carefully restored in keeping with traditional architecture, it retains the charm of stone and wood, combined with essential amenities for a comfortable and relaxing stay.

The property spans two floors and features two double bedrooms, two bathrooms with showers, and a fully equipped kitchen, including an espresso coffee machine. Free Wi-Fi allows guests to stay connected while enjoying an experience far from the hectic pace of everyday life. Outside, the terraced courtyard with a barbecue and wood-fired oven provides the perfect setting for outdoor meals and social evenings.

Guests have free access to a library dedicated to book crossing, a secure bicycle storage area, an e-bike charging station, and, subject to availability, some bicycles provided by the property. Parking is available just a few meters from the house.

Upon arrival, guests receive a welcome basket with selected products, including fresh fruit, bread, pasta, extra virgin olive oil, and coffee. For stays of seven nights or more, a bottle of wine and a jar of honey from the Social Cooperative Il Pungiglione, a local initiative supported by the hospitality project, are also included.

Due to the layout of the village and the house, which includes uneven levels and stairs, the property may not be suitable for individuals with mobility challenges.

Hey, I'm Anna & Luca

Anna and Luca decided to turn a major life change into a hospitality project. After more than thirty years in the medical profession, in 2024 they chose to slow down, dedicating more time to places, relationships, and a more mindful lifestyle. This decision gave rise to the “Il Tempo del Borgo” project, which views hospitality as an opportunity for well-being, connection, and sharing. The goal is to welcome curious travelers who wish to experience the area in an authentic way. To this end, many activities are offered free of charge, including Italian and vegan cooking classes, hiking excursions, foraging, biodynamic gardening, herbalism workshops, and the homemade production of soaps and natural cleaning products, providing guests with the chance to discover traditions, knowledge, and rhythms different from everyday life.

Area Collina

Tempo Lento is situated in Villecchia, a small village in Lunigiana where silence, nature, and the slow pace of everyday life still take center stage. The village lies at the end of the paved road: it is not a place people pass through, but a chosen destination for those wishing to escape traffic and find peace, authenticity, and unspoiled landscapes.

Surrounding the area are chestnut forests, ancient paths, and cycling routes that cross one of the most charming regions of northern Tuscany. From here, you can follow parts of the historic Via Francigena, explore castles, ancient churches, and quaint medieval villages, or reach the Cinque Terre National Park and the Ligurian coast in about thirty minutes.

The valley, which has a highway toll booth and a train station, is approximately 10 kilometers away and is also served by a bus service with a few daily departures; Pisa airport is about 70 kilometers from here. Only a few residents live permanently in the village, and there are no shops: the nearest bar is about 2 kilometers away on foot or 5 kilometers by car, while bakeries and stores can be easily accessed in nearby towns. This intimate and service-free environment helps create an atmosphere of complete tranquility, perfect for those wanting to rediscover the joy of time spent without hurry.
