Villa Rubra is a charming holiday villa 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.

Sassorosso is so called due to the villages construction of red marble stone. The village is well populated but the streets are very quiet due to being virtually traffic free. It's safe for children to play in and explore.

Some years ago the village was recommended for World Heritage status.

We can arrange a "typical Italian dinner at the villa" one day a week. The cost is approx.€25 per person. Please let us know if you would like to do this
