VILLA MOORINGS * * *
Go there and contact
Family-run hotel in a prestigious Liberty villa, with a lovely pool, garden and spacious rooms.
Built in 1924 by Leonello Castelvecchi (a farmer's son who made his fortune selling ice cream in Scotland!), the imposing Moorings villa was later transformed into a hotel, now run by Leonello's granddaughter Beatrice. Liberty-style, with a lovely swimming pool (open from June to September), the hotel offers twelve spacious rooms, decorated with antique furniture and original frescoes by painter Bruno Cordati. All are named after members of the family, such as the beautiful Nonno Lio suite, with terrace. Homemade breakfast.

Ha mantenuto arredi ed atmosfera dell’epoca colazione fantastica.
Nonostante ciò, prezzi molto molto buoni, così come la colazione veramente ottima e sostanziosa.
Lo "staff" è molto accogliente e disponibile, ci torneremo volentieri.
The staff are so kind, the pool is great, a stone's throw from the historic center of Barga, it's the best hotel of our stay in Tuscany.
With a great breakfast buffet that offers gluten-free options and beautiful rooms, our experience was great.

Ambience 5/5: Our room had a terrace with a fantastic view of the mountains. The room was spacious. The villa is beautiful and full of character.
Amenities 4/5: Bar fridge, but no kettle, mugs, tea/coffee. There is free guest parking, and a pool.
Bed 3/5: Bed was too soft and springy for my liking.
Location 4/5: Easy walking distance to the town centre, but it's also opposite a police station, and there is a bit of road noise.
Restfulness 3/5: Minimal light penetration around the window. The shutters on the wooden terrace doors are almost completely black out. The noise from other guests carries very easily (I could hear guests coming home later, moving about in their room, even snoring in the adjacent room).
Service 5/5: Staff don't speak great English, but are extremely helpful and polite.
Breakfast 5/5: Great selection including bread, cheese, salumi, pastry, muesli, yoghurt, fruit, and a large range of sweets (cakes, biscuits etc). They will also make you freshly scrambled eggs and coffee to order.
