A little about the area:
The mediaeval town of Barga, is well known for its art,
music, restaurants and great views..There are hilly windy
cobbled streets, little piazzas, gelaterias, art galleries and
restaurants, all settled beneath, 10th Century cathedral complete
with 'Duomo'. There are often outdoor concerts/plays performed many
times free of charge with performances ranging from Rock and Pop,
to Jazz and the Classics and in the summer there are regular festas
and 'markets under the stars'.
All this is a short walk from the property so the location
really is ideal!
