How to get here.
- By car: from Pisa Airport, take the Autostrada A12 - direction Genova. Then A11 - direction Firenze and exit at Lucca Ovest. Then follow signs towards Garfagnana and Castelnuovo G. Approximately 30 km from Lucca, you'll find signs to Barga. Once in Barga, look for the crossroads in front of Hotel Albergo Alpino. At that crossroads, take the road going up (Viale Cesare Biondi) and drive towards Tiglio. After 1.4 km from Albergo Alpino, you'll find the sign for Serra/Giuncheto. Take a right there. This small road divides into two after 50 m. Stay on the higher road (the left one) and after 300 m you've arrived at La Serra. On the left you'll see a small parking area where you can leave your car. Our house, painted orange, is just above the road, next to the parking area.

Then from Pisa Centrale take a train to Lucca (30 min journey), and lastly another train from Lucca train station to Barga-Gallicano train station (45 min journey). Barga-Gallicano is on the line Lucca-Piazza al Serchio-Aulla. For the best trains connecting to your flight, you can go to http://www.ferroviedellostato.it/homepage_en.html or ask our help.
