Property Description

Property Summary

Nestled in the tranquil hamlet of Monti di Gottro, approximately 7 km from the centre of Carlazzo in northern Italy, the charming "Relax" cottage offers an authentic and intimate retreat for those seeking a genuine rustic escape. This small, cosy "rustico" holiday rental sits at an elevation of 800 metres above sea level and is spread across 2 storeys, surrounded by a serene landscape of trees and meadows. The property occupies a secluded, elevated position within the woods, offering a rare sense of privacy and natural immersion that is increasingly difficult to find. The grounds feature a private garden in its natural state, unfenced and graced with a generous lawn and mature trees, creating a peaceful outdoor environment that feels entirely at one with the surrounding landscape. A dedicated parking area is available on the premises, accessible via a 700-metre-long narrow motor access road leading to the property, ensuring that your arrival and stay are as comfortable and convenient as possible.

Outdoors

The outdoor spaces at the "Relax" cottage are defined by their unspoiled natural character and the remarkable sense of seclusion they provide. The private garden, maintained in its natural state, extends around the property with open lawn areas and established trees that offer shade and a calming atmosphere throughout the warmer months. The surrounding woodland and meadows create a seamless transition between the property and the wider natural environment, making the outdoors an integral part of the experience. Walking paths are accessible directly from the house, with the nearest trailhead located just 50 metres away, inviting guests to explore the breathtaking mountain terrain on foot at their leisure.

Other Information

The "Relax" cottage is a 2-storey structure that combines rustic character with the essential comforts needed for a relaxing stay. The property is situated in a secluded and elevated position within the woods above Carlazzo, and the use of a private car is strongly recommended given the rural nature of the location and the distance from urban services. The nearest bus stop is located 3.2 km from the property, providing an alternative means of transport for those who require it. Guests should be aware that the motor access road leading to the grounds extends for approximately 700 metres and is narrow in nature, so careful driving is advised upon arrival and departure.
