Home description
Set among narrow, winding lanes within the medieval walls of "Barga Vecchia", but within 10 minutes' walk of the shops and facilities of the more modern centre, this 2-bedroom, first-floor apartment with garden makes an ideal romantic base from which to explore Barga and the surrounding area. Decorated and equipped to a very high standard, it enjoys fantastic views across terracotta rooftops, of the nearby "Duomo" and of the peaks of the Apuan Alps. There is a safe, peaceful garden with outdoor eating space.
The large, open lounge / dining / hall area has connecting archways and has been sympathetically decorated in fresh Tuscan style.Both bedrooms (one double, one twin) are bright and airy and tastefully decorated, while the kitchen, with marble worktop and dishwasher, and the bathroom are both equipped to a very high standard.
There is a double sofa bed in the lounge.

The Tuscany region
Tuscany is a charmed land, equally blessed by the genius of man and nature, and often by the combined efforts of both. Think of the vineyards: rows of baby green vines that manage somehow to march in arrow-straight formation up the gently rolling hillsides, bounded by single files of darker green cypress trees, snaking sandy roads leading to rust-coloured farmhouses and moss-coated castles, symmetrically rounded hilltops surmounted by towns so homogeneous as to seem one single building.
Every inch of land has been sculpted, first by the elements and then by generations of inhabitants whose goals were always twofold: make the land produce as much as possible, make the land as beautiful as possible. Tuscany enchants us today because it holds together as a region, from the tiniest hamlet to Florence the Magnificent. For the living proof, take a short walk one day along the sides of the Belvedere in Florence: you will leave behind the traffic and suddenly find yourself strolling down quiet lanes bounded by tall stone walls, cypress trees and creamy-coloured villas. You could be anywhere in Tuscany, and we dare you not to fantasize about living here.
