RUBRA

ABOUT VILLA RUBRA

CONTEXT

Villa Rubra is a charming holydays-house located in Sassorosso, perhaps the most picturesque village of Garfagnana. Sassorosso is located at 1000 m above sea level and is famous for the red marble of its historical building.

From the  terrace and the garden with private pool of Villa Rubra you can enjoy a wonderful view of the Apuan mountains. 

Staying in Sassorosso you can visit the nearby natural park of Orecchiella and enjoy a relaxing holiday  discovering the beauties of Garfagnana.

Only 1 hour from Lucca it is also excellent for visiting the Tuscan cities of art, without giving up the beauty of nature and the Tuscan mountains.
