The Podere Barberino in Chianti Location: This is not a hotel but an elegant country house wich welcomes you and your family or your friends and wishes you and yours an unforgetable holiday!
The Podere is located about 200 mts from the medioeval town of Barberino val d'Elsa. Our guests may , therefore, forget the car on which they arrived or even arrive without one! The town has all sorts of shops that offer quite an array of services . You can find small shops that sell local produce (foods, newspapers, objects, souvenir shops and also bars, restaurants, "enoteche", wine cellars, childrens areas. There is a bus line (bus stop 100mtrs from) to Florence, Siena, Colle Val d'Elsa, San Casciano etc... also to San Gimignano ... In the warm summer evenings there are a few places that offer open air entertainment including live music. Even though the Podere is very close to the town, it preserves its absolute privacy thanks to the 15 hectares of olive trees (property of the Podere Barberino in Chianti for production of extravergin olive oil) that stand between the town and the property. In our property there is a small vineyard, fruit trees and a garden from which there is a breathtaking view. On one side the endless valley with vineyards and olive trees and on the other side, watching over the Podere Barberino in Chianti, the medieval village with its bell tower and houses that light up during the evening and make it look like a living brethren. Podere Barberino in Chianti date back to the 1700/1800s and are immersed in the most natural garden with a central well. The original construction has been maintained with its antique stone walls but inside, modern comfort is united to the antique atmosphere.

In the magnificent landscape with its many visitas, I imagined and conceived the swimming pool, inserted amongst the hillsides and their vineyards overlooking an endless horizon and framed by a panorama of incomparable beauty.
Barberino Val d'Elsa is a small medieval town that dates back to the 1200s and is surrounded by its original medieval walls. It can happen to those who arrive in this magic place that they imagine themselves part of a fairytale this is what happened to me the first time I saw this countryside and this house, just a short distance from the delectable medieval town of Barberino Val d'Elsa, in the heart of Chianti with it's lush hillsides midway between Florence and Siena, in one of the most beautiful part of Tuscany! The town has been awarded with the Orange flag by the Italian Touring Club. Barberino Val d'Elsa is, in fact , the most romantic and authentic medieval village of the Valdelsa (Valley of the Elsa river). Considered to be a small diamond in the heart of the Chianti Classico area, it is not only authentic but quite organized for Tourists and visitors that year after year come back to enjoy the surrounding country side with its soft hills, small towns, churches, castles&each of which has a story to tell. It is also a delight for the gourmet palate that is sure to enjoy the many local restaurants and wine cellars where only the freshest ingredients and finest local wines are served.
