Casa Cordati

Extremely unique property and the host was lovely. Very central to Barga. The whole house is like a museum. Quite a fun experience. While the house is quite old the facilities- hot water/ wifi etc all worked great.

The only thing I would say is that it was a bit cold. Although there was heating in our room, the house and rooms are massive so they are drafty. For a late fall stay it was a bit chilly, but again only because the house is huge.

This is a very pleasant accommodation for a stay in Barga. Housed in a historical building, which also boasts the permanent collection of Bruno Cordati’s work, it is both comfortable and full of character. Giordano was a kind and discreet host. Recommended

Nothing

Casa Cordati is a gem - a house that is still lived in and is redolent of the artist Bruno Cordati who painted there and whose pictures are still on display in a permanent exhibition in the house. It's huge, which means that you hardly notice any other guests (apparently all four spaces were booked out when I was there but I heard nothing of the other visitors). In terms of 'facilities' - there's pretty well everything you could want, with options to pay (a tiny amount) for things like bikes and cooking facilities if you need - but my room had a fridge, great bathroom, great Wifi, comfortable bed and a football pitch of a space to move around in. The shared spaces are unbelievably beautiful and the views breathtaking - and to top it all the host, Giordano, is welcoming, helpful and kind. I love everything about this place.

There's nothing I don't like. All I'd say is that if you are the kind of person who likes modern, characterless hotels then you probably won't enjoy this much. Oh, and it may be worth mentioning that if you have mobility issues then you need to ask for the apartment on the ground floor as there are large stone staircases to navigate for rooms upstairs (but then, medieval palazzi in Italy tend to have quite a lot of steps, so that shouldn't be a surprise!)

Casa Cordati is a historic building in an excellent location in a beautiful town. It was spacious, atmospheric and the Bruno Cordati art exhibition was an unexpected bonus.
