A unique feature of the house (the only one in Barga to have one) is the lift, which is both
attractively finished and practical and serves all floors.

The house was renovated with no expense spared and can either be a luxurious family home
or be bought as an excellent investment as a holiday home which can be divided into three
separate apartments, all of which can be rented to tourists. Barga’s tourist season lasts from
April through to September.  The rental potential is high due to the
luxurious finishes and the central position near to all the sights of the town. It would be
possible to live in the middle apartment and rent the two smaller units all year round.

Also called ‘città d’arte’ because of the numerous artists and musicians living within its walls,
Barga has a jazz festival, and classical music and opera performed in the many piazzas under
the stars during the summer months.

Within the historic centre there are many bars and restaurants full of local character and
warm atmosphere and all this is just steps away from the property which lies right in the
heart of the historic walls.

This beautiful historic medieval walled town is 37 km from Lucca and less than 1.5 hours to
Pisa airport. Florence, skiing and the coast are within easy reach.
