Situated within
the medieval walls of the well-known town of Barga, these traditional,
stone-built properties sit just off the cobbled Via di Borgo, which links the
historic parts of Barga Vecchia (Old Barga) with Il Giardino, its modern
bustling centre.

restored by skilled local artisans. They have worked together to recapture the
