Because of the Covid-19 situation , we were not sure until the last minute that we were going to be able to go on this holiday. Sonia and Diego were so accommodating and understanding and extended the date for final payment until we could be sure we were going, risking their own income.
Our flight arrived very late but Diego met us in Albiano to help us find the house in the dark, even though it was midnight.
The house is spacious, the beds were comfortable, and the garden in just beautiful. We loved spending time relaxing up in the terraced garden, surrounded by lavender and fruit trees, with gorgeous views over Barga and the valley.
Barga is a quick 10 minute drive, or a 50 minute walk down the mule track (longer in the way back , up the hill, in the heat!). The pool in Albiano is a 10 minute walk away and was beautifully maintained and situated.
Diego’s dad popped in a couple of times with his delicious home grown tomatoes (the size of small pumpkins!) and courgettes.
When we checked out , again with a late flight, the owners were so accommodating and let us stay at the house until later in the day as new guests were not arriving until the next day.
