Barga is situated between the Appenine & Apuane mountains on the edge of the Garfagnana nature reserve. It lies at an altitude of 400 meters. Our palazzo is situated in the old town which dates back to the 10th Century. Its narrow stone-flagged alleys all lead up to the famous Duomo. The view from the Duomo terrace is breathtaking. The Duomo contains many art treasures. Many artists & musicians live in the town (known as Citta d'Arte) which has resulted in a summer full of open air concerts (Opera, Jazz, Blues etc) & art exhibitions. The open air swimming pool is 15 minutes walk away & riding & tennis are also available in the town.
You can take the train or bus to Lucca, Pisa & Florence or go by car to Forte dei Marmi, Porto Venere, Cinque Terre, Sienna usw. Grotto del Vento, the Carrara marble caves & Garfagnana nature reserve (we can organise a walking guide by request) are all close by.
