Barga

Barga is a hill town in the Serchio valley in northern Tuscany, in the province of Lucca, set among wooded slopes with views toward the Apuane Alps. Its medieval centre of stone houses, steep lanes and a cathedral on the ridge gives the town a quiet, historic character, while the surrounding countryside holds scattered villas and rural properties. It is known as a place where old stone homes and hillside settings draw buyers looking for a slower pace within reach of Lucca and the coast.
