21PIAZZA AL SERCHIO -GRAGNANA REF 975Village house with terrace and garden "Casa Paola" is a traditional 2 bedroom stone built village house (about 80 sqm) with garden far reaching views of the Apuan Alps in a sunny position in the village of Gragnana just a short drive from Piazza al Serchio. Steps lead to the front door which opens into a welcoming lounge with open fire. This leads to a large dining room with galley kitchen and stairs to the first floor where there are 2 double bedrooms a shower room . A summer kitchen off the little garden has been built on the ground floor. Upstairs there are two double bedrooms (one with large terrace with exceptional views) and a shower room. On the top floor there are two attic rooms used as bedrooms. The house has central heating to radiators but the boiler needs to be replaced. The upstairs windows need attention. The ancient stone built village of Gragnana has a rich and historic past, traces of which can still be found. The village grew up along a traditional mule track which led to Lunigiana. According to local legend, the bell of Santa Margherita church was blessed and would be rung to dispel the Black Death. A medieval bridge, which joined Gragnana to Piazza al Serchio via San Michele is still standing. The local caf and little village car park are just a stone s throw from the cottage (although it s possible to park at the cottage). The bustling mountain town of Piazza al Serchio (on the main Pisa/Lucca to Aulla train line) is about 4.5 km away and provides extensive shopping and services as well as a weekly open air market. Aulla, (with its great access to the Italian motorway network), Lucca and Pisa airport are about 40km, 64km and 90 km away respectively. The world famous coastline of the Cinque Terre is just an hour's drive away. There are local ski slopes in Careggine (20 mins) and a very good ski resort in Abetone (1 hour 15 minutes), making this a great base for holidays at any time of year.2YesYesGardenOpen Fire

The exchange rate on the day you make an offer on your property in Italy will not be the same as the rate you pay when you complete on your purchase, as currency markets move constantly. Any large rate movements may take it beyond your price range as the chart above illustrates the fluctuation and how much extra your property could have cost you.
The best way to avoid this significant risk is to plan your budget and currency strategy with an experienced currency specialist. They have been known to save you up to 4% compared to many high street banks, £4,000 for every £100,000, which soon adds up. They will also keep you up to date on market movements, help you set a rate in advance with a product called a Forward Contract - so you know exactly what you will pay for your property in sterling.
This is why we recommend Smart Currency Exchange Ltd. If exchange rate movements continue to be as unpredictable and as significant as they have been in the past then by not using Smart Currency Exchange Ltd your property could cost you £1,627 more.
