The Experience

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.

Reviews

We loved staying at La Casa Verde. Spacious, well equipped, spotlessly clean, stunning, with uninterrupted panoramic views. The pool was perfect for a cool down swim. We enjoyed days out in Florence, Lucca, Pisa & Barga, for good food. Geran, our host was lovely & helpful. We will be back! Thank you Geran.

I'd love to bring my family here for a week. We would lounge on the fine sofas, read books, enjoy the great kitchen and cook food together. We'd go for long walks across the fields, through the woods and up the hills. We'd marvel at the pleasing blend of rural Italy, forests, fields and enjoy the easy convenience of great nearby joys such as Barga and Lucca – which abound in history, music and art.

Location

The neighbourhood

You overlook fields, treetops and hill ridges dotted with the occasional house – the valley is wide and open, farmed and fertile. Barga has plenty of restaurants and cafés, a castle and the beautiful Cathedral of San Cristoforo. The whole area is grand for walkers with loads of trails, and mountain bikers will be thrilled. There's a good restaurant just a 10-minute drive serving traditional food.

Local points of interest from Boo 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!
