Villa Gherardi is a beautiful historic villa in a central location which is run as a hostel by Adele who was an excellent and very friendly host. Breakfast was very good and the standard of accommodation was generally very high. It was an excellent base to explore Barga and the region.

Beautiful historical villa very centrally located in Barga. Very quiet. Super nice staff. Interior a bit outdated but with lots of charm. Spacious, very clean room with ensuite bathroom, comfy bed and very nice view to the city centre. Delicious breakfast. Fast and easy communication and super nice owners. Highly recommended.

Adele is an excellent host. The villa has breathtaking views of both the mountains and the town of Barga.

Though no inconvenience or relevant for our stay, it's worth noting that late check-ins (after 19:00) may incur a surcharge.

We recently stayed at Villa Gherardi in Barga, and must say it was a truly wonderful experience. Nestled in the charming village, the hotel is conveniently located just a few minutes walk from the historic center, which is definitely worth a visit! The villa itself is a sight to behold, surrounded by a stunning garden adorned with cozy chairs and tables. The rooms, though simple, are equipped with all the essential amenities. The linen and towels provided were incredibly comfortable, adding to the overall comfort of the stay. What really stood out, was the exceptional staff, who created a welcoming atmosphere throughout. Additionally, the breakfast spread was lovely, offering a wide variety of delicious options to start the day off right. One of the highlights of staying at Villa Gherardi is the magnificent views it offers. Whether from the hotel rooms or the terraces, the vistas are breathtaking, making it an ideal place to relax and soak in the beauty of the surroundings. In summary, I highly recommend Villa Gherardi with its beautiful ambiance and breathtaking views. It's an excellent choice for anyone looking to experience the magic of Barga.

The showers were tiny but other than that nothing else not to like.

The location & ambience of this property is exceptional. The grounds are very relaxing with manicured lawns & gardens & well equipped with outdoor furniture. There’s a beautiful fountain before the entrance which adds to the beauty of this property. The on-site parking is very handy too. The host, Adele, is a very lovely lady who immediately made us feel welcome & at home. The breakfast provided is lovely with freshly baked pastries & many other goodies. The view is just beautiful! We definitely recommend this property for anyone seeking a no mess, no fuss place to stay!!! Grazie!!

B&B in a beautiful old building just outside the historical centre. View from the window of the old town was amazing. Room was clean and comfortable , breakfast was good. Adele was extremely friendly and helpful. She made contact on day of arrival regarding check in time , she arranged a taxi to collect us from the train station as buses do not run on Sundays.

The location is amazing. A beautiful garden at the entrance, a nice balcony with great view to have breakfast. Real easy to walk from the hostel to the old city. My room had the most amazing view on Barga. I took postcard-like pictures from there! The host was very kind and helpful.

Bathroom towels were basically large dish towels, very odd. Bathroom was spacious but the shower was very tiny. So happy to have on-site parking after traveling. Adele is so hospitable, excellent value for a great stay.

Great breakfast! excellent views of Barga and close walking distance to everything in town. Room was spacious for 2 people

excellent location

Stayed in April 2023

the room sadly smelt of toilet and the toilet felt like it was going to break and the shower wasn't the easiest to shower in if you didn't want wet hair and to be honest the shower on the outside wasn't very clean, looked mouldy.

I liked the breakfast, and the location was perfect. Barga is an amazing town and the old part of the town was enchanting.

the WiFi was pretty bad and it was a little noisy in the morning.

The host was wonderful, spoke perfect English and overall very helpful and friendly. Breakfast was decent, variable and lots of options. the views were very beautiful and the rooms simple, but comfortable and clean.

Rooms were cold even with the heat on, bathrooms could use some updating

Grand old mansion with lots of intersting decorations on the walls, fairly large bedrooms, great location for exploring Barga

The mattress was smaller than the bed and a little uncomfortable. The building is fabulous but would benefit from less clutter in the communal areas.

Location was fabulous with beautiful view over the old medieval town. Bed linen was spotless. Staff were helpful and attentive at breakfast. It was also lovely and warm despite the freezing weather.

There was nothing I did not like - this is a great location, welcoming, helpful and value for money - would definitely stay again.

Great selection - enjoy having breakfast on the balcony.
