The Alpino Hotel & Restaurant is situated in the centre of Barga.
In 1902 the hotel was opened by the Castelvecchi family, who still own and manage it today. The owners pride themselves on their friendliness and hospitality - you are treated as a guest rather than a client, and the atmosphere is intended to be more that of a home rather than a hotel.
[ View on Google Map | map of region ]Now completely refurbished throughout, it offers comfortable and modern accommodation.
To further the intimate feel, each bedroom is distinctively and charmingly furnished. All rooms have en-suite bathroom, air-conditioning, telephone and television, and two of the bedrooms have a spacious outdoors terrace. There are also two suites available consisting of bedroom, bathroom and living room area with a small corner kitchen.

The restaurant at Hotel Alpino is noted for its excellent wine list and wonderful local and Tuscan dishes. Wine is a passion here - the cantina holds delights from both Tuscany (including a good selection of the so-called 'Super-Tuscans') and the rest of Italy. Great care has been taken in adapting the wine list to match whatever dishes happen to be in season, and you will find recommendations to match each course of your meal.
Just to whet your appetite .. Local funghi (mushrooms) in season, crostini Toscani after an old family recipe and good salami, home-made pasta (tortelli, ravioli, fettucine), gnocchi, zuppa Toscana and a good choice of main dishes. There are some unusual fish dishes (cartoccio and branzino with funghi), and again, all dishes can be paired with a recommendation from the excellent wine cellar - one that has been growing for over forty years and is constantly changing and being added to.
