Beautiful spacious hillside villa with private pool, pizza oven, plenty of outdoor areas with a 'park' feel, and stunning views. The property is just 3 minutes from Barga by car and 10 minutes or so walking by path into this beautiful and lively medieval town.

Set high in the hills just a few minutes from Barga, this spacious and characterful property offers beautiful views, generous living space, and excellent outdoor areas designed for relaxed group stays. There is a gorgeous covered outdoor eating/bar area with hotplate, fridge, icemaker, blue tooth speakers and lighting. There is also a BBQ and fully functional pizza oven. The owners have prepared two different 'view points' - one with a table and chairs, to enjoy the sunrise with a coffee, and the covered 'sundowner' area with relaxing garden furniture and lighting, overlooking Barga. This is a spectacular spot to enjoy the sunset and drinks. There is a further relaxing area directly outside the house.
Then, there is the sunbathing area with plenty of quality 'extra size' sunbeds, umbrellas, natural shade, a further covered outdoor lounging area, and a good size pool - 9.75M x 4.75M. The pool is out of ground.

Originally run as a B&B, the house comfortably sleeps up to 10 guests across five bedrooms, making it ideal for families or groups of friends travelling together.

The location is a real highlight — peaceful and private, yet just a short drive (or scenic walk) from the vibrant medieval town of Barga, known for its restaurants, music, art, and wonderful atmosphere.
