High ceilings and exposed stone walls give a light, bright and rustic feel to this restored barn with fabulous views over a lush valley

The main entertaining space is open plan and gloriously spacious with smart sofas, a chaise longue and cosy armchairs – just the ticket for those wanting to chat while cooking. You'll find all you need in the top-notch kitchen with its marble worktops – a large fridge, basics for cooking plus a bottle of wine, fresh bread, eggs, milk and homemade jam. Light pours in from three windows, capturing the glory of the outdoors.

There are stunning views over the Barga valley with the Garfagnana mountains in the far distance. Eat al fresco surrounded by olive trees, listen to birdsong; sunbathe beside the sparkling pool or head off for wonderful walks in the mountains. Bedrooms (one twin up, a double downstairs) are roomy and light with en suite bathrooms. You'll sleep peacefully.

A 15-minute drive will take you to the medieval village of Barga, clinging to a spur in the mountains and full of twisting streets with an international jazz festival in summer.

Geran Blair:

Living now in Italy for the past 25 years I find it hard to tear myself away from the beauty and warmth of the area. Casa Verde has been lovingly transformed from a tractor barn into an open plan living space whilst keeping the charm of the original stone.
Whether it is sitting by the pool or in the living area the views are wonderful with the local town happily only five minutes by car. Barga which is a 20 minute drive is famous for its slow food of which there are 7 restaurants within the medieval walls.
Lucca the famous walled city is only 40 minutes by car or why not take the train! Here there is a wealth of places to visit Puccini's house and museum, beautiful shops or take a stroll around the 5 km walls followed by a wonderful lunch.
1 hour from the beach whether your passion is sea or mountains it is all accessible from here. Across the valley is Grotto del Vento some of the deepest caves in Europe offering guided tours with a restaurant on the way set into the monastery grounds.
Our aim is to help you enjoy your time with us and if booked in advance we have masseurs, private chefs, walking guides, Day flower arranging courses, art courses, forest bathing days wine tastings, not forgetting a day in Florence is a wonderful option!
