Casa Roc, Private Pool, & Arguably Best View In Barga! WIFI. Walk to rest/bar
Wonderful 3 bed, 3 bath Villa with private Pool, and arguably the best view in Barga! Treat yourselves! This charming villa sleeping 5 plus 1 has been renovated by the owner with his own holidays in mind, so a great deal of thought has gone into the preparation of this property, which has been designed to take full advantage of the unrivalled views of Barga seen from the house, gardens and pool. Home from home.
Casa Roc has been fully modernised, but has not lost its rustic charm, with wood floors, beamed ceilings and character features throughout, blending seamlessly with modern comforts! There is a real feel of romance, and whilst great for families, the house is ideal for honeymoons.
The property is just a 300/400m walk from a bar at the village pool, and a restaurant (open 3 nights per week) , and a half hour stroll into Barga cross country. There are 3 bedrooms, each with their own bathroom (2 fully en-suite), a welcoming open plan living/diner, and a designer kitchen. Each of the living areas, and two of the bedrooms overlook the garden, pool and the view of Barga with the mountains beyond. There are lots of large windows providing a fantastic light and airy space to relax.
Outside, there is quality outdoor relaxing and dining furniture, with plenty of shade provided by the canopy which covers the outdoor living area, and an enormous umbrella for dining al fresco in comfort.
The pool is fully surrounded by sunbathing terraces from which one can relax and enjoy the countryside and the views.

A little about the area: Please note that automated distance information can be misleading in rural areas. Although some places may appear close “as the crow flies,” walking routes are often impractical.
Situated in Albiano, with stunning views of Barga, and the mountains beyond, this property is a perfect retreat, less than a 5 minute drive from the Mediaeval town of Barga, with its hilly windy cobbled streets, duomos, 10th Century cathedral and ancient architecture. Barga is also renowned in the area for its good quality, but reasonably priced restaurants. There are often outdoor concerts/plays performed many times free of charge with performances ranging from Rock and Pop, to Jazz and the Classics.
Within easy walking distance, is the village of Albiano with its good restaurant, and local village bar.
Barga itself is circa 1 hour 15 mins from Pisa, 1 hr 40 mins from Florence;50 minutes from the beautiful walled mediaeval city of Lucca and close to the National Parks of the Apuane Alps.
Hilltop villages abound, and exploring can be either townie or totally rural - the choice is yours, if you can tear yourselves away from the house!

Host was extremely helpful, meeting us at the home and allowing us to check in a bit early. House was very clean with amazing hilltop views of the town of Barga. Ten minute drive to large market. The pool was super nice and sitting outside during sunsets was beautiful. Quiet location, very peaceful.

Velfungerende hus og meget flot udeområde - pool havde en rigtig god størrelse. Kan anbefale restaurant som er i gåafstand - billigt og god mad. Der kommer en lille brødvogn hver dag undtagen søndag som sælger brød ved torvet - meget hyggeligt.

Schönes Haus mit tollem Blick auf Barga und Berge in der Umgebung. Großer Pool und Garten. Gute Betreuung und schnelle Hilfe bei Fragen. Reibungslose Abwicklung beim Check-In und -Out sowie zur Halbzeit beim Handtuch- und Bettzeugaustausch. Etwas abenteuerliche Anfahrt, aber machbar.

Ein tolles Haus mit einem fantastischen Ausblick. Es liegt in den Hügeln mit Blick auf Barga. Ob vom Schlafzimmer, aus dem Küchenfenster oder vom Pool. Man hat immer diesen traumhaften Ausblick. Das Haus ist geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Die Küche ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man braucht. Wir wurden herzlich von Maraica, der Kontakt vor Ort, empfangen. Sie hat sogar schon einiges eingekauft. Obst, Milch, Eier., Joghurt, Sekt....So wurden wir noch nie empfangen . Wir haben viele Ausflüge gemacht. Florenz, Pisa, Lucca, Pistoia... Albiano liegt in den Hügeln, die Anfahrt (die letzten ca. 2km) ist eng und steil. Es gibt aber auch einen zweiten Weg durch Albiano. Er ist etwas länger aber weitaus angenehmer zu fahren. Wer die Ruhe sucht, ist hier genau richtig. Das Haus steht alleine. Der nächste Nachbar ist gegenüber im Hang und rechts etwas unterhalb. Auch möchte ich mich bei Maraica bedanken. Sie war immer erreichbar und hat sich direkt um alles gekümmert. Wir hatten am letzten Tag ein Problem mit dem Gas. Maraica hat direkt versucht, eine Lösung zu finden. Sie hat auch Lorraine von Tuscan Retreat darüber informiert, die mich daraufhin direkt kontaktierte. 10 Sterne für diese Betreuung. Ein rundum gelungener Urlaub

It’s especially lovely to hear how welcome you felt on arrival—Maraica always goes the extra mile, and she’ll be so pleased to read your kind words.
We're sorry you experienced an issue with the gas on your last day, but we're glad we could respond quickly and help. Thank you also for sharing the tip about the alternate route to the house—it will be useful for future guests!
We’re delighted you had such a successful and memorable holiday and truly appreciate your kind feedback.

Ein traumhaft schönes Haus in den Bergen von Barga dass zum entspannen einlädt. Der Ausblick ist wie in den Bergen abgebildet.
Der Check-in lief sowie der Check-out liefen dank Maraica reibungslos ab. Uns wurde beim einchecken alles gezeigt und erklärt. Vieles war bereits im Haus und konnte von uns genutzt werden. Die Innenanlage sowie die Außenanlagen sind gut gepflegt gewesen. Parken ohne Probleme, genügend Einkaufsläden in der Region (weniger als 10min entfernt) und eine Menge an guter Restaurants.

About the host
Hosted by Marie/Lorraine at Tuscan-retreats/Tuscany Plus
We are Fabrizio and Lorraine and fell in love with this fantastic unspoilt, green and mountainous area of Garfagnana many years ago due to the amazing views, the wonderful peace, and the real yesteryear, non touristy feel to the entire area. We achieved our dream of coming to live in this little piece of paradise with our two daughters, 10 years ago. We have been letting properties in the area for 12 years (our own properties , and for others via our agency Tuscan Retreats). We also assist friends running Houses in Tuscany with all their booking administration, so we advertise for ourselves, Tuscan Retreats and Houses in Tuscany, the latter of which has been running for 15 years. We get lots of fulfillment from seeing others fall in love with the area and return to us again and again!
