Barga - detached cottage in 6 hectares of land with private pool

A lovingly restored detached stone cottage, with original beamed ceilings and flooring, situated in the hills overlooking the beautiful medieval town of Barga. Just a 10 min. drive or so from town, yet very peacefully situated in circa 6 hectares of private farm land/forest high up in the hills. The views from both the house/extensive patio area & the land are stunning. Eating al fresco is a real treat -the lights of the town provide a romantic backdrop, and due to the altitude it feels possible to touch the stars! Alongside the patio area there is a large original outdoor pizza oven, a chestnut drying house. In the fields above, there is the infinity style swimming pool (5M x10M), Bocce court and table tennis. If you like to cook, then the house is perfect - there is a wood burning 'aga' in the kitchen, a modern oven 'outside' and also the pizza oven & BBQ. The house is furnished in traditional style, is well equipped and lovingly presented. A perfect 'remote, yet central'.

The house and grounds

The house is totally private just 10 mins from the centre of the medieval town of Barga. A great deal of care has been taken to restore the house to its original glory. This choice is absolutely ideal for families, with plenty of room for children to explore the grounds and plans afoot to ensure you need never set foot in the house during the day if you prefer!

The pool is situated above the house, with stunning views of the countryside... There really is a feeling of pure peace at this house,& it is the perfect place to completely relax, and enjoy the pleasures of the scenery and the quiet!

The town boasts cobbled hilly streets, fantastic views, an abundance of churches; 3 bridges, and a duomo. There is also a large outdoor community swimming pool surrounded by the Alpuan Alps. Barga is well known in the area for its good restaurants, and also for its open air concerts held overlooking the town. Jazz; opera, and the classics, are performed, quite often free of charge. The town is well located to serve as a base for exploring either by car, or by train, the more well known sites of Lucca(45 mins), Florence (1.5hrs), Siena(2.25 hrs), and the seaside town of Viareggio (1 hr). The famous caves of Grotto di Vento are circa 20 mins away. The completely unspoilt area of Garfagnana, further North is also easy to explore, with its Natural Parks, mountains, hill top villages, and panoramic views at every turn!
