Sasso al Melo is truly a picturesque retreat. Nestled in the heart of the Tuscan Apennines, this enchanting estate consists of two ancient buildings set amidst lush greenery. It’s the perfect place to relax and unwind, as well as an ideal base for exploring the surrounding area. Guests can enjoy hiking and cycling, and from now until April, skiing is available in Abetone, just 15 minutes away.

The charm of Sasso al Melo extends both indoors and outdoors. The renovation has been thoughtfully done, with a focus on natural materials that create a serene and inviting atmosphere. The estate features a beautifully landscaped garden, a small natural stone swimming pool with a jet stream, and a delightful tree house for children.

Sasso al Melo is eco-friendly, utilizing renewable energy sources such as solar power and wood combustion through a centralized pellet boiler system. Each apartment comes with its own thermostat for personalized comfort and a calorie counter to monitor the actual heat used.

The charming medieval village of Cutigliano is just a 5-minute drive away, and it’s only a short walk to Melo for a delicious morning cappuccino. Additionally, day trips to the Italian cities of Florence, Pisa, Lucca, and Pistoia are easily accessible.

At Sasso al Melo, you can experience peace and tranquility in the heart of Tuscany!

Beautiful surroundings and nature. It was wonderful to stay at Sasso al Melo (Elstar). Fortunately, there was a fireplace to compensate for the chilly evenings in the mountains. There is a small grocery store in Melo itself, a 10-minute walk away, where you can find a very wide range of products. B...

Great base for walks, from the location, up into the mountains or down into the valley, Doganaccia, Ponte di Castruccio. The manager has hiking maps available.

It really is just out of the civilized world, and offline (WiFi only works outside the house) if you are looking for that, the perfect place. Important that tenants take into account that the nearest supermarket is really a bit of a drive. Certainly 20-30minutes on a bad narrow road, and that from...

We had a wonderful week at Sasso al Melo. The location is beautiful with a nice view of the mountains. It takes some time to drive down the mountain (many hairpin bends) but it is worth visiting surrounding villages. For those looking for peace and quiet this is a wonderful place, even with children...

A truly magnificent spot in the northern part of Tuscany

Sasso al Melo is a lovely accommodation situated in the mountains of Tuscany. There are five apartments, all in the same style, renovated and furnished with considerable attention to detail. Surrounded by nature, the two houses are situated high in the Apennines, halfway Lucca and Florence; with fantastic scenery that could perfectly serve as the setting for a movie. It is close to the picturesque village of Cutigliano and 15 minutes from Doganaccia and Abetone, two charming towns on the border between Tuscany and Emilia Romagna. In winter, these villages turn into the major ski resorts of Tuscany while in the summer, they offer plenty of opportunities for hiking, mountain biking, paragliding, fishing and horseback riding.

Guests at Sasso al Melo enjoy the charming little communal pool (10 x 3 m, heated by solar collectors and a jet stream!), the BBQ/pizza oven and a laundry room with washer and dryer. For children, there is a tree house, in a lower-positioned part of the forest.

Extra at Sasso al Melo:

  • pool towels
  • welcome pack with products for your first breakfast
