Villa Pierotti is a 200 year old house located on the walled perimeter of the centro storico (historic center) of Barga, Tuscany. The villa is located on Via Marconi allowing for easy access for loading and unloading luggage.
This beautiful apartment is equipped with all the modern conveniences while retaining its special charm. It has a modern eat-in kitchen, a living room with TV, DVD/CD and sofa bed. The master bedroom is furnished with an antique iron queen size bed and antique furniture. A second bedroom with two twin beds is available for small additional cost. Both bedrooms open to the terrace. The thick walls and the 4 meter ceilings keep the apartment cool in the summer. The new central heating system keeps the house cozy warm in the winter. There is a one week minimum stay.
The most striking feature of the villa is the terrace which runs the full length of the house providing for spectacular views of the Apuan Alps and breathtaking sunsets. The villa is only a few minute walk from shops, antique dealers, banks, the Saturday morning market, and restaurants serving delicious and inexpensive local cuisine.
Barga is located in the mountainous northwest corner of Tuscany and has been recognized as one of the most beautiful Tuscan country towns. It was a stronghold of the Medici Florence and this influence can be seen in architecture and art of the town. The town is dominated by the thousand year old cathedral. It is on the edge of the Garfagnana region known for its chestnut forests, wild boar, pecorino cheese and porcini mushrooms. In the summer, Barga is rich in cultural life with summer jazz and opera festivals, art exhibits, and outdoor markets. In addition, a visitor can attend a crossbow tournament, religious processions and even a fish and chip festival, since Barga is “the most Scottish town in Italy”. Outdoor activities include hiking in the Apennine Mountains or the more rugged Apuan Alps, swimming in the town pool or in the Serchio River, tennis, horseback riding. During the summer there is a daily bus going the sea resort of Viareggio. In September the area is filled with mushroom hunters searching for the delicious porcini mushrooms.
