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.



Make yourself comfortable in this villa, which features a fireplace and a private pool. There's a private balcony. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. A Smart television and a DVD player are provided for your entertainment, while complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected.
Pamper yourself with onsite massages or enjoy recreation amenities such as an outdoor pool.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

A beautiful, comfortable villa in the Tuscan hills.
Superb. We had a great week in the beautiful villa Alventura. The facilities are excellent, the surrounding countryside is stunning and Anne and Simon couldn’t have been more helpful as hosts. We particularly appreciated both indoor and outdoor kitchens, well equipped, and the pizza oven was well used by us. The bedrooms are spacious and the whole place was clean and well looked after. The pool is great for cooling off. Even though the September weather we had was rather mixed the afternoons were generally hot and the south facing terrace is a great place to relax. We found the property was a great base from which to explore the smaller towns and villages in the area, such as Bagni di Lucca and Castelnuovo di Garfagnana as well as Barga itself. We were also able to get to bigger places, such as Lucca, Pisa and Florence, with no trouble. It’s worth noting that the general terrain is hilly and the roads have numerous sharp bends, so bear that in mind if arranging a hire car. The train services are also very efficient and not too pricey. We would definitely go back to this villa if going to the same area.

LOVED this house!
Our group included 2 couples and two 24 year old daughters and this house was perfect for us. All the bedrooms were very spacious and had their own bathroom. Beds were very comfortable and there were plenty of hangers and shelves for our clothing. Kitchen was well-equipped and the living room with its fireplace was an ideal area to relax after a day of adventure. Outdoor space was heavenly with its lounge chairs and pool. It was May and pool was a bit chilly but we all still went in. There’s a covered area with table where we enjoyed drinks several nights. Anne was a lovely host and was very patient as she answered all my questions about a couple of Italian appliances lol. She even organized our day to Cinque Terre and suggested a couple of restaurants which were amazing! We also had the option of getting a personal chef one night to either teach us a cooking class or cook us a meal. We chose the meal and Linda did not disappoint…it was absolutely delicious. She even accommodated our allergy request of no tomato or mushrooms. We also took advantage of the bbq and cooked a couple of our own meals and the washing machine came in handy as it allowed us to do our laundry before heading to our next house. Anne, we loved staying at your place and we will be back! We travel a lot and you were one of our best hosts so thank you for your kindness and hospitality! And I will be thinking about Linda’s homemade ravioli with sage butter for many years! Sigh.

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.

Amazing villa on the outskirts of Barga
Our group had a fantastic experience staying at Anne and Simon's villa. The space is beautifully decorated, spacious and absolutely spotless upon arrival. Anne addressed any questions we had within minutes and was there to set up a cab ride for us and offer activities during some of the rainy days. Each bedroom with its own en suite bath was a huge plus for our group. Couldn't recommend the villa more. I look forward to returning.

Amazing place!
We were a group of eight adults and children in Barga for a few days. We stayed there for its locations and it did not disappoint. Barga is a really neat walled town and the surrounding area is absolutely stunning. Anne’s place is a bit out of town on a hill overlooking the countryside in a beautiful old farmhouse. The pictures do not do the home justice - the three bedrooms are huge, there are several outdoor seating areas, the house is beautifully decorated and overall just an amazing place to stay. It is quiet, but close to everything you’d need. Anne was a wonderful hostess, responding immediately to any of our needs and very helpful with suggestions for visiting the area. We are already looking at options for returning, as we had such a nice time while we were there. Thanks again, Anne and family!!

Barga’s Understated Gem
Wonder property and property owner. Barga is not the most notable area in the Tuscany area, but we were extremely surprised by this property. The area is in the mountains of northern Tuscany and this property is a destination in itself. Anne the property Owen was amazing in welcoming us upon our arrival, helping with scheduling both a in villa cooking class and reserving a tour of the Carrera quarry. The five of us that visited this quaint villa would return just to stay at the villa and relax by the pool or fireplace. Alventura is definitely an understated gem.

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.

Fantastic villa decorated to a very high standard. Very large bedrooms and well equipped dining kitchen. Loads of outside seating areas and pool with breath taking views. To cap it off Anne and Simon were very helpful. Thoughtful touches such as fresh flowers, bottles of wine and bread deliveries made all the difference. Our best villa in Italy.

Tuscany in all its glory - beautiful villla, fabulous location, exceptional hosts
No photographs can do justice to this villa. Stunning location and beautifully decorated. Awesome walking territory - or sit by the pretty pool. It’s easy to visit so many interesting places if you want to - and Barga itself is a treasure trove of fantastic restaurants. We highly recommend you visit - and make use of every suggestion from the owner ... she couldn’t be more helpful .. or more right in her advice!! Thank you from all four of us x

Wir waren für eine Woche mit Freunden und Kindern in der Villa von Anne und haben die Tage in vollen Zügen genossen. Das Haus ist zauberhaft, ebenso der Garten, der Pool, die Terrassen, der Blick in ein grünes Tal, die Ausstattung (auch für Kinder), die große Küche. Sehr praktisch auch, dass jedes der drei Schlafzimmer ein eigenes Bad hat. Anne stand immer hilfsbereit zur Seite, man hat aber trotzdem ganz viel Privatsphäre.

Fint hus med fin pool nära Barga
Ett fint hus med jättefin utsikt, en fin pool nära den mysiga staden Barga. Ägarna var väldigt vänliga och hjälpte oss med både restaurangbokningar och tips. De hade även handlat diverse basvaror till frukost och lunch vilket vi uppskattade mycket. Även om ägarna bodde precis bredvid så upplevdes bostaden som väldigt privat. I Barga som nås med bil inom minuter fanns flera bra restauranger och en fantastisk glassbar. Vi kan varmt rekommendera detta boende.
