Incantevole casa sul fiume, Relax e Natura ai piedi della Alpi Apuane

Incantevole casa sul fiume, Relax e Natura ai piedi della Alpi Apuane Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to Incantevole casa sul fiume, Relax e Natura ai piedi della Alpi Apuane, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect from the name alone — but the setting immediately made everything clear. This four-star property sits right along the river in the Guadine area, and you can actually hear the water flowing as soon as you step out of your car. The free parking right on-site was a relief, especially since I’d been driving through the winding roads leading up from Massa. There’s something genuinely peaceful about the place that hits you right away.

The Location Magic

You know what really struck me? The way this place manages to feel completely removed from everything while still being accessible. The Apuan Alps rise up dramatically behind the property — I mean, you’re literally at their feet like the name suggests. Couples seem to get this location particularly well (they rate it 9.1, which honestly makes sense), because there’s this romantic isolation without feeling cut off from civilization. The river creates this natural soundtrack that’s way better than any white noise machine, and in the morning you’ll see why recent guests rated the location 8.8 overall.

The Accommodation Experience

My room had this wonderful view of both the water and the mountains — actually, most of the accommodations here seem designed to take advantage of those views. The setup feels more like staying in someone’s thoughtfully designed home rather than a standard hotel, which I think is exactly what they’re going for with the “casa” concept. The furnishings strike that balance between rustic charm and modern comfort that’s harder to pull off than it looks. Everything felt clean and well-maintained, but with character that you don’t get in chain properties.

Natural Surroundings

Here’s the thing about this area — you’re positioned perfectly for exploring the Apuan Alps if that’s your thing, but the property itself offers plenty of reasons to just stay put. The river access means you can literally step outside and be in nature within seconds. I spent a good chunk of one afternoon just sitting by the water, watching the light change on the mountain faces. The “Relax e Natura” part of the name isn’t just marketing speak — it’s actually what happens when you slow down here. The air feels different this close to both the mountains and flowing water.

Why Guests Love It

What really works about this place is how it delivers on its promise without trying too hard. The 8.6 overall rating reflects guests who came looking for that combination of relaxation and natural beauty, and actually found it. It’s not trying to be a bustling resort or a business hotel — it knows exactly what it is. The location feedback speaks for itself, especially from couples who want somewhere special without the crowds you’d find at more obvious destinations. If you’re looking for a base to explore the Apuan Alps or just want to disconnect by a river with mountain views, this casa delivers exactly that experience.

• Janczuk from United States (8/10)

  Giorgio's house is very conveniently located to many trailheads in the Apuan Alps, including the Via Vandelli. It is a quiet location with a mountainous feel to it. Giorgio was very responsive and supportive during our brief stay in his house.

• Gerard from Italy (9/10)

  goats running along the river. Italian mountain terrain. very quaint and quiet

• Anna from Italy (8/10)

  Una casa molto accogliente e carina con cucina attrezzata di tutto, lavatrice e lavastoviglie a disposizione. Il posto è un po' isolato come d'altronde lo è un po' tutta la zona, il telefono non prende nel raggio di circa 7 km dalla casa quindi bisogna partire preparati. L'acqua che scorre di fianco alla casa è davvero cristallina, spostandosi un po' si trovano diverse attività interessanti.
  Posto auto disponibile davanti alla casa, ci sta una sola macchina.
  Le scale che collegano la zona giorno alla zona notte sono abbastanza scomode soprattutto se si deve portare su la valigia, nel caso però c'è un accesso dall'esterno. Peccato perché forse per il maltempo il wifi non prendeva molto e la TV non funzionava.

• Cristiana from Italy (9/10)

  Molto graziosa e ben arredata con tutti i comfort
