Wonderful location with amazing views across the valley. Villa is perfect for self-catering, with the village of Albiano in easy reach. The owners are very helpful and friendly and we had a fantastic holiday.
We were looking for a house to accommodate a family of 5 in nothern Tuscany, allowing for excursions to nearby villages and the sea as well as to Florence and Lucca. Luckily we found Villa Trivium. Sonia and Diego are helpful and accurate, responding to all our questions and assisting with advice on where to go as well as household matters. The villa is located in a peaceful neighborhood, with the possibility of relaxing by the local swimmingpool in Albiano, take a walk to the beautiful city of Barga or make excursions to Lucca, Pisa or nearby seaside towns such as Viareggio. Car rental is strongly recommended.
Sonia and Diego's lovely house was comfortable and well-equipped and suited our purposes admirably. But without doubt the outstanding feature was the view from the terrace, over to Barga and across the valley to the Alpi Apuane. The view changed with the light but was particularly striking at dawn and sunset. The garden was also lovely, with its fruit trees and bird life. We would have been happy staying there all day but there was walking to be done, across to Barga (a lovely town, and it takes little over half an hour to walk there), up the hill to Somma Colonia, and further afield to the mountains. The local trattoria (ten minutes walk) was friendly and serves good food, but we never found the local bar open. Be warned, the access road to the house is steep and winding, as are most of the roads in the vicinity, but its all worth it.
Traumhaft,die Umgebung ist die Reise wert.Das Haus war toll, sehr viel Platz fĂŒr drei Personen.Tolle Vermieter, macht weiter so.Berg tauglich sollte das Auto sein,wichtig. Ansonsten einfach die Berge genieĂen.Barga sĂŒĂe kleine Stadt.
Meget dejligt og roligt sted.Smuk udsigt over dalen og Barga, tiden stÄr stille.Flot rengjort hus og med en terrasse hvor der er den flotte udsigt. Masser af gode informationer fra udlejer. Kan anbefales.
Die Aussicht ist echt der Hammer!
Diego ist ein super und hilfsbereiter Gastgeber.
Das Haus und die Ausstattung könnten allerdings etwas Auffrischung gebrauchen. KĂŒchenaustattung und Geschirr sind nicht wirklich gut und nicht ausreichend fĂŒr einen lĂ€ngeren Aufenthalt. Z.B. es gab nur ein Weinglas.
DafĂŒr ist der Pizzaofen top!
Die Betten sind furchtbar laut und sollten dringend erneurt werden.
Den angegebenen Gemeinschaftspool gibt es nicht, war uns aber auch nicht wichtig.
Mit ein bischen Investitionen und ein bischen mehr Liebe fĂŒrs Detail wird das eine hervorangende Unterkunft!
Casa davvero fantastica, accogliente e spaziosa, pulita e curata, panorama fantastico, completa di tutti i servizi; host davvero molto cortese e disponibile. Bellissima vacanzaâŠ
Stunning property with beautiful views. Very quiet area! House was very clean and the garden was beautiful . We did not have a car , but Diego helped us communicate with the local taxi service. Taxi took us into the town of Barga when we needed and picked us up ! Diego was also very quick to respond and willing to help out with anything we needed . Great experience. Thank you !
We hebben het heerlijk gehad in het huis, op het terras en in de tuin. We waren blij met de ruime slaapkamers en de grote badkamer. De keuken was relatief klein met weinig voorzieningen, maar we hebben ons er prima kunnen redden. Je vlees of vis bereid je toch buiten op de gemetselde gril.
Boodschappen deden we op de lokale markten en bij een grote supermarkt vijf kilometer verderop. Er zijn genoeg lokale lekkernijen om van te genieten.
De omgeving is schitterend. De omgeving van Barga is niet het Toscane dat je kent van schilderijen en TV, maar een prachtig berggebied met heel veel groen, oude dorpen en de mooiste uitzichten. Zowel voor wandelaars, fietsers, cultuurgenieters, rustzoekers als waaghalzen is er van alles te doen. Neem wel sneakers mee, op sandalen kom je niet ver genoeg! Voor een bezoek aan de zee, aan Lucca, Florence en Pisa is Barga ook een prima uitvalbasis.
Tot slot was het contact met Sonia, Diego en Angelo prima. De wijn van Angelo is bovendien een echte aanrader.
This is a very romantic, cozy, extremely clean villa with views that will take your breath awayâŠ..Sonia and Diego are great hosts. We celebrated our marriage in this wonderful place.
Ferienhaus mit grandiosem Weitblick und schönem Garten
Das Ferienhaus liegt in herrlicher SĂŒdlage mit Blick auf Barga und die Apuanischen Alpen, 200m ĂŒber dem Tal. Sehr ruhig, kaum Verkehr, 10 Autominuten nach Barga. Diego und Sonia sind sehr netter Vermieter, alles ganz unkompliziert.
Das zweigeschossige Haus ist sehr sauber und nach einer sehr steilen Bergauffahrt zu erreichen. Der Ausblick von dort oben ist wirklich wunderschön. Man konnte den ganzen Tag auf der Terrasse verbringen, da es eine schöne elektrische Markise gab. Das Mobilar auf der Terrasse ist sehr wackelig, aber auch leicht, sodass man die Möbel problemlos verschieben kann. Die Zimmer sind alle gleichwertig. Das hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Die KĂŒche ist wirklich einfach gehalten. Die Schubladen klemmen und fĂŒr die Kaffeemaschine haben wir nirgends kleine FiltertĂŒten bekommen. So haben wir die Espressokannen genutzt. Besonders schön war auch, dass es ein zweites Bad im Untergeschoss gab und dort befindet sich auch die sehr gute Waschmaschine. Leider war es sehr heiĂ, sodass wir den Gang zum kleinen Schwimmbad (Eintritt 6⏠pro Person) anstrengend fanden. Erst recht nach Barga! Es ist halt alles steil, auch der Garten! Aus dem Inserat hatte ich mehrere Terrassen von den Bildern erwartet, aber es gab nur eine und ein kleines GartenstĂŒck.
Auf jeden Fall sollte Insektenschutz mitgenommen werden und eventuell Rauchspiralen. Von Diegos Vater und Mutter wurden wir hĂ€ufig mit leckerem Obst und GemĂŒse ĂŒberrascht. Da der Garten offenbar viel Pflege braucht, war er fast tĂ€glich da. Diego hat uns bei allen Problemen immer schnell geholfen. Vielen Dank!
Wir möchten an dieser Stelle noch das Schwimmbad in Barga empfehlen. Es ist sehr gepflegt und gröĂer als das in Albiano!
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.
Diegoâs 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.
Sonia's family and the place are amazing! When we arrived, we immediately felt like home and, staying, we felt like being part of the family ourselves. The beautiful garden and fireplace contribute to the cozy atmosphere. The view is also breathtaking and many things to explore nearby. We had a fantastic stay!
Lovely house in a beautiful place. The description was accurate. Peaceful place up the mountain from Barga and the views were fabulous. I took so many photos of Barga in different lights and cloud formations. We were given a very warm welcome and a lovely touch to have a bottle of delicious family wine waiting for us. The house was clean and well equipped. The lounge area was small with only two easy chairs but we spent most of our time on the beautiful terrace enjoying the view. The bedrooms were large with comfy beds and lots of storage space. Good shower in the bathroom. Barga is a lovely town with plenty of restaurants and shops. Enjoyed the local restaurant in Albiano too. Grotto del Vente nearby and well worth a visit. The owners answered queries very quickly and were very helpful. I would definitely recommend this house if you want a peaceful holiday in a beautiful area of Tuscany.
We stayed in Villa Trivium over 2 weeks.
Diego and his parents Angelo and Amelia were very friendly and extremely helpful. We were met and taken to the villa shown round. A bottle of Angelo's wine and olive oil along with Biscottis were left for us. The Villa was perfect 2 large bedrooms with en-suites. Comfortable living area with large wood burner.
Views over the valley and across to Barga beautiful in the day as well as at night.
Convenient area for exploring the surrounding area and mountains
We travelled to Ill Trebbio for the English October School holidays. My aim for this holiday was to take the kids swimming as much as possible, and this was easy to do. I took my young kids to the local pool in Gallicano on most days. They made great progress, largely thanks to the quiet and friendly environment. We also went river swimming in the valley close to Fornovalasco. The kids did that well that we drove out to the nearby Bay of Poets, where the sea temperature was a good 20 Celsius. Here it was sunny, but we still had the beach to ourselves.
In between day trips out the boys enjoyed the mountainside, roaming free and watching the fog come through the valley, the sun set over the mountains and the most spectacular evening thunderstorms. Angelo and Amelia were real stars, as they brought fresh fruit from their own harvest to share with my young boys. The hosts are honest and kind people, and that is part of the treat for me.
Local town Barga was alive and well over Halloween, and when you run out of ideas, there is always Ice-cream.
There is still lots to discover in the area, let your senses be your guide!
Wonderful, beautiful, great views & very relaxing.
Il Trebbio is a wonderful, peaceful, beautiful and relaxing villa. The owners are extremely helpful and kind. Our whole family really enjoyed our stay. We were a party of 5, three 19-21 and two parents. The facilities were great and our hosts were very responsive. The local village pool is really well managed and clean. They open late on Wednsday from 2pm to 12 midnight. The local restaurant run the pool so if you want to eat at the local restaurant on Wednesday it will by the pool and you will need to pre book and order. The views are to die for. My youngest said "this is a view I could never tire of" and I have to agree. I would recommend a day trip to Lucca if you have time. I would also recommend a trip to the top of Barga to get the views and eat on the way down.
I can seriously recommend this villa! Hope to visit again sometime soon.
We bought the amazing view! Really incredible, we immediately fell in love with it. The added value was (and obviously is) the prestigiuos location, so close to Barga but in the mean time absoultely quiet and reserved.
