Home description
An evocative apartment with chestnut-beamed ceilings which is ideally placed for access both to the old and new "quarters " of Barga.
A 100m walk down the narrow, cobbled Via di Borgo takes you to the edge of the bustling modern centre of Barga. You will pass the "rosticceria" at the edge of the old town which serves excellent roast dishes and the Ristorante Fontana Maggio: a fine pizzeria with adjoining park with children's play area.
Turning uphill from the apartment, you can wind your way through cobbled alleys towards Barga's famous Duomo. 50m from the apartment is Aristo's bar (which, in the summer months, is a melting pot of cultures and impromtu music) and Cafe Cappretz. Barga Jazz, the theatre and several restaurants are all within very easy walking distance.
