  7. Arriving at PESCIA continue in direction PESCIA CENTRO. The river will be on your right hand side and the town on the left hand side.

  11. 50m after this last property is a black and white chevron under a z-bend road sign on the right hand side of the road and opposite, on the left hand side, is the turning to Villa Pietra Serena (there is also a sign to Il Traspo attached to a tree). You drive between two large trees to enter the lane.

  12. Drive down the twisty lane until you see a Villa Pietra Serena sign on the right hand side at the top of the drive to the property by the electric gates.
