About this property

This is the rare home in Barga that is located in the old, medieval walled part of the city, yet also contains an outdoor garden and patio that looks out onto the peaceful valley -- ideal for grilling, quietly reading with a glass of wine, gardening, or just relaxing under the grape vines.

The house is cozy and decorated in traditional style, yet large enough for a group of 6, with 3 large bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and a large well-appointed kitchen. You are mere steps away from charming local cafés, fabulous restaurants, and the town's jazz club.

Barga is a magical town, and a wonderful place from where to explore Italy. By car, you are a quick drive to Pisa, Florence, and the beach, and the city of Lucca is easily accessible by bus as well. However, Barga itself is home to some of the region's best restaurants, as well as many world-class musicians (the Jazz and Opera festivals are not to be missed!), so you may not want to leave the city limits! There are also many great hikes and walks that originate in Barga, so if you are looking for some extremely picturesque exercise you have also come to the right place.

Fantastic accomendation i Barga!

We wanted a relaxing place with charm, low pace atmosphere and found it. Still, within minutes from restaurants, gelateria, cafees etc. We truly enjoyed ourselfes in this house, with a great little garden. All facilities for a confortable stay and stone walls to keep the heat out. Zach was also most supporting and helpful host along the way. Highly recomended!

What more could you want?

The property was lovely & clean & so beautifully renovated & having two full bathrooms was a bonus. We were five adults & the house with all its different seating areas was very spacious - much more so than the photos would suggest. There were two indoor eating areas but we always seemed to use the outdoor one under the beautiful grapevine with spectacular views up to Sommocolonia. Although it was a heatwave for that time of year at 34c the house with its external and internal shutters & thick stone walls thankfully remained very cool. The kitchen had everything & more that you could need for cooking although we only ate in for one evening as it was such a short walk to a range of great restaurants. Overall we would highly recommend staying at the property where every need had been anticipated & provided for.

Authentic Hilltop village

Property was good quality with wonderful terrace. Short walk to half dozen good restaurants and a bar. Access only for local cars, so one needs local taxi to carry luggage inside the walls. Wifi would have been an advantage. Recommended.

Barga Scottish Week

Great accommodation. Three of us stayed here for one week. We each had a bedroom to ourselves and appreciated having two bathrooms. The house is located very centrally. We were attending the Barga Scottish Week and were attending classes in the old town every day so we were literally minutes from our classes which were located around the old town. The outside patio area was perfect for having breakfast and evening drinks with beautiful scenery of the Barga hills and countryside. The owner was exceptionally helpful and accommodating. We would love to return.

About the host

Hosted by Zach Cutler

We are two brothers who inherited the house from our mother, who bought it as a shell and rebuilt it into a wonderful home full of warm memories. Although initially we intended to sell the home, once we went to Barga to sign the paperwork, we realized that keeping the place was a wonderful way to pay tribute to our mother's dream. Since then we have fallen in love with the people of Barga, and it has become our second home. We hope to share this amazing place with you so you can see the magic of Barga yourselves.

What makes this property unique

The garden is one of the most wonderfully peaceful places you will ever experience, and the home itself is incredibly charming and spacious. However, within moments of wandering through the walled city of Barga, you will stumble upon a wonderful cafe or restaurant, and you will meet the amazing people who make the town so special.
