  The mass-accretion rate, Macc, is a crucial parameter for the study of the
evolution of accretion disks around young low-mass stellar objects (YSOs) and
for planet formation studies. The Taurus star forming region (SFR) is rich in
pre-main sequence (PMS) stars, most of them of the T Tauri class. A variety of
methodologies have been used in the past to measure mass accretion in samples
of YSOs in Taurus, but despite being a general benchmark for star formation
studies, a comprehensive and systematic analysis of the Taurus T Tauri
population, where the stellar and accretion properties are derived
homogeneously and simultaneously, is still missing. As part of the GIARPS
High-resolution Observations of T Tauri stars (GHOsT) project, here we present
a pilot study of the stellar and accretion properties of seven YSOs in Taurus
using the spectrograph GIARPS at the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo (TNG).
Contemporaneous low-resolution spectroscopic and photometric ancillary
observations allow us to perform an accurate flux calibration of the
high-resolution spectra. The simultaneity of the high-resolution, wide-band
spectroscopic observations, from the optical to the near-infrared (NIR), the
veiling measurements in such wide spectral range, and many well-calibrated
emission line diagnostics allows us to derive the stellar and accretion
properties of the seven YSOs in a homogeneous and self-consistent way. The
procedures and methodologies presented here will be adopted in future works for
the analysis of the complete GHOsT data set. We discuss the accretion
properties of the seven YSOs in comparison with the 90\% complete sample of
YSOs in the Lupus SFR and investigate possibilities for the origin of the
continuum excess emission in the NIR. }
