La Tinaia sits in the tiny hamlet of Busdagno comprising four properties deep in the hills of Garfagnana on the way to the foot of the famous Monte Forato mountain. It is situated in the picturesque Fabbriche di Vallico. The area is known for its fantastic walking opportunities as well as other outdoor activities such as gorge walking. While the hamlet has a get-away-from-it-all feel, it's conveniently located less than a ten minute drive from the main road where there are numerous shops, bars, and restaurants. In less than five minutes, you will find the nearest excellent restaurant and in the interesting stone village of Fabbriche di Vergemoli, another three restaurants and a bar.
