Welcome to Zen Escape, a haven of tranquillity in the heart of the medieval village of Sillico, in the Garfagnana.
The house, dating back to 1670, was designed for those who wish to step away from the noise, the chaos and the relentless pace of everyday life. You come here to slow down, breathe more deeply and rediscover a more natural rhythm, surrounded by greenery, silence and the authentic beauty of the place.
The interiors are minimalist and uncluttered. Every space conveys calm: no excess, no distractions, only what is needed to feel at ease. This is a house that asks nothing of you — and gives everything back.
The kitchen is fully equipped for self-catering — oil, salt, spices and much more already at your disposal. To start the day gently, you will also find everything you need to put together a simple, balanced breakfast at your own pace.
Outside, generous spaces invite you to enjoy nature at any time of day. The gazebos, panoramic terraces and green corners offer evocative views of the Apuan Alps, perfect for reading, resting, meditating or simply sitting in silence before the landscape. At sunset, the light transforms the mountains and the village into a breathtaking scene.
In the evening, the silence becomes complete. Here, stillness is not the exception — it is the norm.

The house is the ideal starting point for exploring a rich network of trails winding through the surrounding woodland. For those who love trekking or simply enjoy a refreshing walk in the open air, the area around Sillico offers paths of every difficulty, all immersed in an authentic and unspoilt natural landscape.

Zen Escape is ideal for restorative weekends, extended stays, digital detox retreats or whenever you feel the need to come up for air. A simple, authentic and regenerating place, where the true luxury is doing less, feeling more and leaving the noise of the world outside.
