Villa Barberina

Villa Barberina is a place that has been stopped in time and is steeped in history. The quaint yet large cottage style villa is a nostalgic palace immersed in beautiful Italian woods, vineyards and olive groves. Surrounding this magnificent villa that is located in the Chianti area is all the very best that nature has to offer; aromatic lavender, delicious fruit trees, and delightful flowers.

The outside areas of Villa Barberina boast numerous living and seating areas, including a roofed terrace, making it effortless to gaze at some of the region’s best views while enjoying a glass of the country’s finest wine in your very own sweet escape. The outside dining area is large enough to seat ten people and makes for magical evenings spent eating and drinking under the moon and stars or staring at the awe-inspiring skyline of San Gimignano that overlooks the villa. The private pool is the ultimate staple of luxury. Located outside, the pool is in the middle of evergreen trees, letting you swim surrounded by Italy’s incredible nature.

Inside, the splendid bedrooms are cosy yet grandiose and all benefit from natural light seeping through, from the sun in the day and from the moon at night. The luxurious bedding is adorned with subtly beautiful floral prints and paired with grand headboards. Artworks decorate the walls, and charming wooden ceilings add some enchantment. All of the seven bedrooms have the added comfort of air conditioning and en-suite bathrooms, with a small balcony or patio in three of them.

This old Tuscan farmhouse will make you feel as if you’ve been swept into the Middle Ages. The open plan dining and living spaces are airy and spacious while still being a comfortable place where you can unwind and relax after days spend wondering Chianti, discovering the very best of what the region has to offer.
