About this property

Barga -cottage & barn 6 hctres of land, private pool, WIFI , stunning views!

A lovingly restored 2 bedroom rustic detached stone cottage, and separate 1 bed chestnut house (let together and both included in the price), both with original beamed ceilings and flooring, situated in the hills overlooking the beautiful medieval town of Barga.
Just a 10 min. drive or so from town, yet very peacefully situated in circa 6 hectares of private farm land/forest high up in the hills.

The views from both the houses/extensive patio area & the land are stunning. Eating al fresco under the gazebo is a real treat -the lights of the town provide a romantic backdrop, and due to the altitude it feels possible to touch the stars!

One can cook outside too, with a newly prepared outdoor kitchen area with oven, BBQ and food prep area!

In the fields above, there is the infinity style swimming pool (5M x10M plus Roman steps). Here there is a sunbathing area, and also a covered pergola providing shade too. It is difficult to want to leave this beautiful and meticulously looked after garden...

The rustic houses are furnished in traditional style, are well equipped and have been prepared with love.

A perfect 'remote, yet central' location, and ideal for groups of two couples requiring privacy from each other, but plenty of room to dine and socialise together.

There really is a feeling of pure peace at this house,& it is the perfect place to completely relax, and enjoy the pleasures of the scenery and the quiet!

There are 3 resident cats on site - not permitted in house. There are also goats in a field way up above the pool area. There are also resident tortoises and donkeys on the property - great fun for children!

Fuller details - main house:
The property retains most of its original features, with original chestnut beamed ceilings throughout, and wooden and terracotta flooring.

Barn:
The property has a real romantic feel!
On the ground floor there is a living area with large windows and arched doorway out to patio, separated from the kitchen/dining area by a circular working fireplace which sits in the middle of the room and therefore heats the entire house.

Up the spiral staircase there is a lovely romantic double bedroom with doors placed opposite the bed, to take advantage of the wonderful views..
There is also a good sized modern shower room.
Grounds:
The private 'infinity style' swimming pool (10M x 5M plus roman steps) is high above the house so as not to totally spoil the traditional feel of the property, and to ensure it remains totally out of sight. The view from the pool is wonderful and the style of pool means it feels one is swimming in the mountains.
Patio area with covered al fresco dining, with wonderful views.
Outdoor kitchen with food prep area, oven, BBQ
Extensive gardens.

NB:
Not suitable for elderly or infirm due to steep Climb to the pool. Small children will need supervision due to the terraced nature of the grounds and climb to pool.

Fabulous Tuscan mountain property
Fabulous place to stay for a peaceful time in beautiful Tuscany. The pool area was amazing and the views stunning. The eating area was lovely also with fabulous views. The properties were well equipped and the tortoises and donkeys were a hit. Barga is just down the road and is delightful with lots of bars and restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will miss the peace and tranquility - thank you to our host Simonetta.

Tuscan Bliss
What a glorious property - a gem in the Tuscan hills. We stayed one week, but so wish we could have made it longer. Our family of 6, including two adult children, teenager and youngest of 10 had the most wonderful holiday. We booked it based on the photographs (and that pool really does look exactly as the photo's show), and the reviews of other guests - and we whole-heartedly agree with all the positive comments left by others. The property itself is set on the hillside, so there are steps up to the pool, or a walk up the drive, but we never found this an issue at all- it made us more appreciative of the cool water and the view, of which you just can't tire. The buildings are rustic, therefore the kitchens, as per the photo's are quite small, but they have all the equipment/cooking utensils you need. And we spent very little time indoors anyway, eating every meal on the glorious terrace, appreciating the morning sun heating the hills, or watching it sinking lower to the horizon. The hazelnut tree above would constantly drop its fruit to be enjoyed with local honey, figs from the tree and some pecorino. Because the property faces south, you have the sun all day long - streaming through the bedroom window in the morning, on the terrace in the afternoon (with shade offered by the hazelnut tree and pagoda), and on the pool terrace throughout the day too, but the pool is replenished by a mountain spring so it never overheats. We just loved watching the swallows who would arrive every afternoon to swoop past taking diving sips of the water. The clinking goat bells echo across the hills, and the dogs from far and wide obviously enjoy an evening conversation 102 dalmation-style. We knew the pizza evenings are no longer on, and were sorry we couldn't share one, but we cannot sing the praises of Simonetta and Marco highly enough. We had terrible car hire issues but they were both so concerned and helpful, and did their best to make up for the way the car hire company let us down. Their kindness was greatly apprecated. Thank you for a marvelous memorable holiday

Heavenly!
We had a magical stay at Mengarino. The property is beautifully situated above Barga with magnicent views of the Apuane Alps The house is wonderfully rustic and the converted barn useful for additional friends or family The highlights are the outside areas....the pool is stunning and we had many memorable evenings dining on the terrace I’d can’t recommend this place enough Fantastic!

fantastic location, remote hill top rustic farmhouse with fabulous infinity pool
we stayed with our adult family. outside the place was superb with bbq and bread oven (which we made good use of), lots of places to sit outside in the sun or shade. the pool area above the house was the most amazing space with views to die for and sunsets to watch every evening. the inside spaces were very rustic - absolutely fine if you are happy with that, but not to everyone’s taste. the beds were a little uncomfortable but the bathrooms and showers worked well.

Picturesque.
Where to start... We stayed here for our Honeymoon, to enjoy some peace and quiet. This is exactly what we got, the most picturesque, calm and peaceful tuscan retreat. It is blessed with stunning views and beautiful landscape. The villa itself was perfect, with all the amenities you need. With use of the other house for kitchen utilities and the pergola, which was ideal for evening meals as you sit and watch Barga light up at night time. Spending everyday relaxing by the gorgeous infinity pool, perfect for cooling down after laying on the sun beds in the glorious weather. The land is painted in wonderful colours with all the beautiful plants and flowers dotted around the homes. This was honestly the nicest holiday and made our honeymoon extra special. Absolutely perfect. Thank you.
