About this house rental
Situated on a spur of the Appenines, this converted barn stands on 2 acres of tranquil olive grove and meadow, 2 km from the picturesque old walled town of Barga, which has all the shops necessary for daily living. The rooms are simple but comfortably furnished, with terra-cotta floors and chestnut beamed ceilings. The Barn has terraces facing south, west and north and the views are spectacular in every direction.
Please note that there are two houses on the property; the barn and its original farmhouse, which can also be rented together or separately.
Buvicchia is a cluster of houses at the end of a country road in the Media Valle del Serchio region. It is very quiet, a wonderful spot to get away from it all as we have been doing for over 50 years. Barga has all the shops needed for daily living and there are many good and inexpensive restaurants in Barga and the surrounding area. Barga is about a half-hour walk from the property, mostly on the flat and with some pretty views. The town of Barga has a swimming pool which is about 2.5km drive from the house. Lucca, a spectacular walled town, is 40 mins away, Florence an hour and a half, Pisa an hour and a quarter. There is a station 7 km away for trains to Lucca and beyond or up into the high Garfagnana. The sea is just over an hour away by car. A car is very desirable and car hire is available via the major companies at Pisa airport.
The barn: Built in the 1860s, converted in 1974 and fully restored in 2004, this converted barn sleeps 2. We have preserved as much of the character as possible by leaving the first floor almost unchanged (that's where the hay was!) and the ground floor open plan also. A terrace at the front and a second one in the garden both look out on wonderful views. A third terrace at first floor level also looks out over Barga. This is a real hideaway, a place for total relaxation.

This was our third time staying in 4 years, which hopefully says it all. The barn itself is full of character combined with modern fittings. The setting is idyllic with a lovely sunny patio and garden, and gorgeous views across to the duomo and Barga old town, and far-reaching views over the valley. It really is a special place with a sense of tranquility yet just 25 mins walk or 5-10mins drive into Barga. We’ve only been back a few days and already can’t wait to return.

This is our second stay at the barn and we’re planning to return again next year. The accommodation is clean, well presented and spacious. The setting is fabulous, with amazing views across to Barga old town to one elevation and far reaching views across the valley to the mountains to another. The tranquil setting is ideal for a relaxing holiday and being a pleasant 25 min walk to town is ideal to avoid having to go everywhere in the car. Can’t recommend highly enough!

This place is wonderful, right in the mountains and with a gorgeous view of Barga itself. You can even walk into town via the backroads.

The farmhouse and barn are in a beautiful spot outside Barga, with fabulous view of the duomo from the outside seating areas. We loved that it was walking distance from the Old Town, Our son and his partner came with us and we all had a wonderful relaxing week. We will be back!!!! 😎
