Many of our hikers are single. We do not charge any single supplement, meals are taken together, either for breakfast (at a long "Italian" style table), lunch (picnics or lunch at a local restaurant) or dinner which is eaten at one of several good Italian restaurants in Barga, the town where we are based. We are keen to attract more single travellers on our hiking holidays. We feel we represent a good quality vacation at a very good price for singles."
