An interesting article has just appeared on the Italy Traveller site which asks the following question:
Ever wondered what it would be like to sleep in an art gallery?
Book a room in one of these seven, art-packed hotels, and find out!
Think art, think Tuscany and you’ll probably think Florence, followed by Siena, and perhaps Pisa.
What you’re unlikely to think is Barga.
And yet, not only is this tiny little town in the green hills of Garfagnana, near Lucca, home to one of the region’s most importantJazz festivals, it’s home to over 20 internationally-renowned artists too, many of whose works adorn the walls of Barga’s 3 room B&B Acchiappasogni.
Conceived as “emotional spaces”, Acchiappasogni’s Sole (sun), Luna (moon) and Stella (star) rooms feature original works by artists the caliber of Oliviero Rainaldi, Massimo Catalani, John Bellany, Giacomo Costa, Keane, Gregory Cortecerò, Roberto Codazabetta, Mirka Ballabeni and Santo Previtera. – source
