Luxury Villa, Private Pool, Views, Barga, Tuscany. 3 ensuite Bedrooms

Beautiful house. Wonderful area. Lovely and helpful host.

Superb. We had a great week in the beautiful villa Alventura. The facilities are excellent, the surrounding countryside is stunning and Anne and Simon couldn’t have been more helpful as hosts. We particularly appreciated both indoor and outdoor kitchens, well equipped, and the pizza oven was well used by us. The bedrooms are spacious and the whole place was clean and well looked after. The pool is great for cooling off. Even though the September weather we had was rather mixed the afternoons were generally hot and the south facing terrace is a great place to relax. We found the property was a great base from which to explore the smaller towns and villages in the area, such as Bagni di Lucca and Castelnuovo di Garfagnana as well as Barga itself. We were also able to get to bigger places, such as Lucca, Pisa and Florence, with no trouble. It’s worth noting that the general terrain is hilly and the roads have numerous sharp bends, so bear that in mind if arranging a hire car. The train services are also very efficient and not too pricey. We would definitely go back to this villa if going to the same area.

Thank you Anne and Simon for a wonderful stay in your villa. We especially enjoyed the amazing pool (saltwater extra plus), pizza oven and ping pong!! We could easily have stayed another week. Two was not enough!!

Our group included 2 couples and two 24 year old daughters and this house was perfect for us. All the bedrooms were very spacious and had their own bathroom. Beds were very comfortable and there were plenty of hangers and shelves for our clothing. Kitchen was well-equipped and the living room with its fireplace was an ideal area to relax after a day of adventure. Outdoor space was heavenly with its lounge chairs and pool. It was May and pool was a bit chilly but we all still went in. There’s a covered area with table where we enjoyed drinks several nights. Anne was a lovely host and was very patient as she answered all my questions about a couple of Italian appliances lol. She even organized our day to Cinque Terre and suggested a couple of restaurants which were amazing! We also had the option of getting a personal chef one night to either teach us a cooking class or cook us a meal. We chose the meal and Linda did not disappoint…it was absolutely delicious. She even accommodated our allergy request of no tomato or mushrooms. We also took advantage of the bbq and cooked a couple of our own meals and the washing machine came in handy as it allowed us to do our laundry before heading to our next house. Anne, we loved staying at your place and we will be back! We travel a lot and you were one of our best hosts so thank you for your kindness and hospitality! And I will be thinking about Linda’s homemade ravioli with sage butter for many years! Sigh.

Great pool, beautiful views. Vere nicely decorated bedrooms! Perfect family house.

Grand discovered a bew area of Tuscany! Fantastic great house and setting!

Countryside, mountains, swimming pool... Beautiful house in the heart of the forest, magnificent views and very pleasant owners

We honestly cannot stress enough how brilliant the Villa was and how excellent Anne is too. I know everyone has said the photos don’t do it justice, but they really don’t. The place is much bigger than the pictures make out, and a perfect space for people to be together, but also to have their own space. The views are insane too from the pool! The location of Barga is a dream and feels like a hidden gem near Lucca and Pisa. Anne has lots of great recommendations and will help you have a brilliant time. I cannot recommend this location and Villa more! Thanks again for a special time Anne.

Our group had a fantastic experience staying at Anne and Simon's villa. The space is beautifully decorated, spacious and absolutely spotless upon arrival. Anne addressed any questions we had within minutes and was there to set up a cab ride for us and offer activities during some of the rainy days. Each bedroom with its own en suite bath was a huge plus for our group. Couldn't recommend the villa more. I look forward to returning.

We had such a great stay at this property in Barga. Anne was lovely, helpful and quick to respond. The house was clean and spacious, and the view was amazing. It was exactly what we were looking for and we would definitely book again. Thank you, Anne!
