Tiglio is a small village on the slopes of the Apennine mountains of Barga. Founded before the year 1000, as evidenced by a document dated 20 July 983, it was probably named after the lime tree (tiglio in Italian). An ancient fief of the Rolandinghi, feudal lords of the parish of Loppia, its fate has always been linked to that of Barga. Tiglio’s castle, which already existed at the time of Matilde di Canossa, often battled against Lucca. You will need a car if coming to stay at the property and be a competent driver. Roads up to the property are all tarmaced but you don’t get up to houses with such amazing views without travelling a twisty road.
