About this property

Luxury Villa, Private Pool, Views, Barga, Tuscany. 3 ensuite Bedrooms

Nestled within 10 acres of private woodland, landscaped gardens and olive terraces, Alventura is a luxury boutique villa where you’ll enjoy a tranquil and authentic stay surrounded by Tuscan nature. While the villa feels secluded, it is just a mile from the Medieval hilltop town of Barga (renowned as one of the most beautiful villages in Italy), and around 45 minutes from Lucca.

Alventura has been meticulously restored with luxury, space and comfort in mind, retaining a traditional Tuscan feel with a contemporary edge. It has a lovely homely feel, as we lived there for many years while we renovated. The kitchen is very well appointed with high quality equipment and utensils, and is a pleasure to cook and dine in. We provide a welcome basket of local treats to start you off and there are plenty of cookbooks on hand to inspire you. The cosy lounge area offers a peaceful place to relax, read or chat around the fire. All three spacious bedrooms have luxury ensuite bathrooms and offer spectacular views to wake up to. We provide luxury complimentary toiletries and high quality bedding and towels. Windows have mosquito netting.

The villa is south facing, so enjoys sunshine from early morning until late afternoon, and there are plenty of quiet spots in the garden to relax. You can take in the stunning views over the valley on the loungers in the sun, under a pergola shaded with kiwi and wisteria or under an olive tree. The pretty courtyard is the perfect place for alfresco dining and there’s also a shaded, paved terrace overlooking the large saltwater pool – perfect for aperitivos! Children will love the pool, all the toys, the library, and the park with a tree house.

The villa, pool, terraces and a well-equipped outdoor kitchen complete with pizza over are all for your own private use.

Anne and Simon look forward to welcoming you to Alventura.

A truly fantastic trip!

We honestly cannot stress enough how brilliant the Villa was and how excellent Anne is too. I know everyone has said the photos don’t do it justice, but they really don’t. The place is much bigger than the pictures make out, and a perfect space for people to be together, but also to have their own space. The views are insane too from the pool! The location of Barga is a dream and feels like a hidden gem near Lucca and Pisa. Anne has lots of great recommendations and will help you have a brilliant time. I cannot recommend this location and Villa more! Thanks again for a special time Anne.

A great choice!

We were delighted with our choice. Fantastic outside seating areas and lovely pool. Inside the villa had everything we needed and is very tastefully finished. Stunning views and very quiet. Very happy to recommend and we’d definitely stay here again.

Excellent holiday

Had a fabulous holiday at Alventura. The property was wonderful and the owner couldn’t have been more helpful. Excellent facilities. The pool was lovely and the outdoor kitchen was great - we had some lovely meals from the BBQ and the pizza oven. Great location. Couldn’t fault anything about the property or the friendly owners.

Lovely villa in beautiful setting

This is a beautiful villa set in the most wonderful Tuscan countryside with views to die for. Anne and Simon could not be more helpful throughout our stay and during the booking process. Thank you for the excellent welcome pack of goodies and the additional wine and pastries. Anne gave us some great restaurant recommendations and made our stay so much easier. The villa is spotless and really well equipped, especially the kitchen. It is clear that a lot of thought and detail has gone into the decor and presentation of the villa. We did the walk into Barga from around the back of the villa which was excellent but not for the feint hearted. It is quite steep. Looking forward to a return visit at some point.

About the host

Hosted by Anne

We live in a barn conversion next to the villa with our 2 teenage daughters. We moved here in 2003 and have completely restored the villa and barn in between working as a walking holiday guide and bringing up the girls..Before we moved here,we travelled around the world, working and playing for ten years, mostly in the tourist industry, catering chalets in various ski resorts in Europe and North America.

Why they chose this property

After searching the length and breadth of Tuscany, we found this region (garfagnana) to be the most beautiful area for both holidaymakers and for a young family. It isnt as touristy as other regions and its very well located for city visits, hilltop towns, beaches, and skiing.
Barga is a very up and coming, vibrant town with many festivals through the summer, including art , music, food, and theatre. The climate is perfect, without such intense heat as the lower tuscan regions.Its a place to really experience italy at its best.
We have many years of experience in both the food world and the travel industry, and having lived and worked for many years in Tuscany we feel we can share the culture, history, cuisine and hospitality of Tuscany in a relaxed and informal manner.

What makes this property unique

The villa is situated just 1.2km from Barga, surrounded by woodland. From the door are 3 different hiking routes to town, taking either 45 mins, an hour or a longer trail via Tiglio taking 3 hours to reach the town.
