About this farm stay rental
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.

Set out on a ridge with far reaching views across to the mountains but close enough to Barga to walk in for a late afternoon gelato.

simply perfect! we were looking for a quiet place immersed in the countryside with a large garden for a couple of weeks with lots of children, and not too far from coty. this charming house more than filled this difficult bill. the host is marvelously kind and helpful and easy to discuss with. the house is very authentic yet comfortable and very practical. the view is stunning on both side of the ridge.

We have visited this property on two occasions and hope to return again soon. The accommodation provides you with everything that you could possibly need to enjoy a comfortable and restful holiday in this beautiful countryside. The views from the houses are breathtaking, with spectacular sunsets-a great spot for sketching or photography.
The area around the properrty is very peaceful and the locals are friendly and helpful. Barga itself is a charming little town and has everything you need close by-supermarket and a weekly market, as well as fantastic restaurants. The evening walk into town for dinner is a must and the moonlit walk home (complete with fireflies at the right time of the year) is a perfect end to a very relaxing day.
