18th century Tuscan farmhouse in the Garfagnana

Situated on a spur of the Apennines, this family owned farmhouse stands on 2 acres of tranquil olive grove and meadow, 2 km from the picturesque old walled town of Barga. The rooms are simple but comfortably furnished, with terracotta floors and chestnut beamed ceilings. There are two houses on the property; the farmhouse and a small converted barn (which can also be rented together or separately). Each house has a terrace shaded by a pergola and the views are spectacular in every direction.

Buvicchia is very quiet, a wonderful spot to get away from it all as our family has been doing for more than 50 years. Barga has all the shops needed for daily living and there are many good and inexpensive restaurants in Barga and the surrounding area. Barga is about a half-hour (rather picturesque) walk from the property. Lucca, a spectacular walled town, is 40 mins away, Florence an hour and a half, Pisa an hour and a quarter. The nearest railway station is Barga Gallicano, also known as Mologno, 7 km away. Trains run to Lucca and beyond or up into the high Garfagnana. The sea is just over an hour away also. A car is very desirable and car hire is available via the major companies at Pisa airport.

Built in 1740 as a small two-roomed farmhouse, Buvicchia 3 was added to over the following decades to include a large 'cantina' or winestore (now the sitting room) with bedrooms overhead. Right up to 1972 there were earth floors downstairs, no electricity and just one cold tap in the kitchen! The farmhouse has been restored twice since then, but the atmosphere has not changed. You can still imagine it as the home of a smallholder through two centuries.
