We, the owners (an American and Italian), are proud to say we strived to keep the apartment's old world charm during the restoration process. It paid off, as our home was ultimately featured Italian architectural magazine.. (Case di Campagna). The fortress town dates back to 1198. Our second floor apartment (2 flights up to our front door) is part of the ancient walls of the medieval fortress. Remodeled some years back, the interior reflects the hamlet's old world charm while still offering 21st century comforts. The master bedroom (up a short flight of stone steps off the main room), offers an ensuite bathroom with shower. The intimate rooftop terrace and the room's bifora window truly grace our guests with a 360° view of Tuscany. The second bedroom, on the main level, offers the same enchanting view of Tuscany’s silvery olive groves and patchwork vineyards. This bedroom has been set up as a second master with a queen size bed. The bathroom, with its walk-in shower) is adjacent to the bedroom. The main room is an open space, comprising a well-equipped kitchen alcove and a dining table that comfortably seats six (even twelve if opened). This dining/living area has two comfortable sofas and an armchair that makes into a single bed (if needed). The owner, a Tuscan cookbook author, ensures guests will find everything they need to prepare a savory Tuscan meal in the apartment's fingertip kitchen. There is a traditional oven, microwave, four burner gas stove top and dishwasher. There is a washing machine in the apartment, a drying rack, iron and ironing board. There is wifi throughout the apartment with 24 hour free access. There is also a television in the living area for those who want to brush up on their Italian by watching Italian news, flicks and variety t.v.! The hamlet, a typical medieval cobblestone fortress town, boasts of two archways (one to enter the hamlet and one to exit). Built around the year 1198, the hamlet still boasts an enchanting medieval aire. Our property is located on the main cobblestone street midway between the two archways. Within the walls one will find three excellent restaurants, two wine bars, and a handful of shops. Outside the walls of the fortress (a two minute stroll), there are two banks with ATM machines, two coffee bars, two grocery stores (one with freshly baked goods daily), a pharmacy, a post office and more. There are buses running to and from Florence and Siena (55 minutes in either direction) from 6 a.m. until 7 p.m. weekdays and also a few on the weekends. Tickets must be purchased on-line or at the tabacchi in the nearby village of Tavarnelle Val di Pesa (2 km away). The neighboring medieval towns of Certaldo Alto (quaint hilltop fortress) and San Gimignano (The Manhattan of Tuscany) are within a 20 minute drive of the property. There are numerous other quaint hilltop towns scattered around this enchanting region, known as Chiantishire to the English. We highly recommend renting a car to explore the area's many hidden treasures. The nearest town to the hamlet is Tavarnelle Val Di Pesa. There is a lovely footpath connecting this modern village to Barberino Val D'Elsa. The path (lined with olive trees) is approximately 2 kms long. Point of interest: Tavarnelle has a lovely outdoor market on Thursday mornings from 8a.m. to 1 p.m. Great place to mingle with the locals and pick up organic veggies, shoes, trendy clothes and more. So, if mingling with the locals in a sleepy fortress town in Tuscany while sipping wine in an enchanting little square is on your wish list, then Barberino and our flat is the perfect place to do just that. We are always happy to supply additional information about the area to traveling guests (i.e. festivals, fairs, wineries to visit, art shows etc). Culinary workshops in the property or in Florence for those ‘foodies’ can also be arranged with advance notice. Ask about private dining with English speaking hosts in Florentine homes as well. For those who wish to swim or sunbath during the summer, we are happy to direct you to two lovely outdoor pools with garden settings nearby. For a nominal entrance fee, one can spend a relaxing afternoon swimming or sunbathing while mingling with the locals. ## Commodités de l’hébergement ### Internet - Disponible dans l’appartement : Wi-Fi gratuit ### Stationnement et transport - Voiture recommandée - Stationnement sur place ### Cuisine - Batterie de cuisine, vaisselle et couverts - Bouilloire électrique - Cafetière-théière - Épices - Essuie-tout - Four - Four à micro-ondes - Grille-pain - Lave-vaisselle - Réfrigérateur - Surface de cuisson ### Restauration - Service de chef cuisinier - Table de salle à manger ### Chambres - 2 chambres - Draps fournis ### Salle de bain - 1 salle de bain privée - Bidet - Douche - Papier de toilette - Savon - Séchoir à cheveux - Serviettes fournies - Shampooing ### Lieux de séjour - Salle de séjour - Table de salle à manger ### Divertissement - Chaîne audio - Livres - Téléviseur avec chaînes par câble/satellite ### Espaces extérieurs - Barbecue - Patio - Terrasse sur le toit ### Buanderie - Installations de buanderie - Laveuse ### Confort - Chauffage - Climatisation ### Animaux de compagnie - Aucun animal de compagnie autorisé ### Accessibilité - Hébergement non-fumeurs ### Services et commodités - Fer et planche à repasser - Téléphone ### Points d’intérêt de l’endroit - Dans un village - En zone rurale ### Activités - Écotourisme à proximité - Équitation à proximité - Observation d’oiseaux à proximité - Visites de vignobles à proximité ### Dispositifs de sécurité - Détecteur de monoxyde de carbone (L’hôte a indiqué qu’il y avait un détecteur de monoxyde de carbone dans l’hébergement.) - Aucun détecteur de fumée (L’hôte a indiqué qu’il n’y avait pas de détecteur de fumée dans l’hébergement.) - Trousse de premiers soins - Verrou de sûreté ### Information générale - Taille de l’unité : 800 pieds carrés ## Hébergements similaires ![Terrasse/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/20000000/19300000/19293200/19293118/7f945437.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### A wonderful country house in the heart of Chianti Panzano In Chianti - Cuisine - Laveuse - Espace extérieur - Stationnement disponible 9,8 Exceptionnel 22 avis [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-29&endDate=2025-10-30&selected=19293118&PinnedHotelID=19293118&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Restauration en plein air](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/31000000/30370000/30366000/30365985/03b7a756.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### CHIANTI VINEYARDS OLIVE GROVES FOOD TASTINGS SCENIC VIEWS Ruffoli - Animaux de compagnie acceptés - Wi-Fi gratuit - Stationnement disponible - Buanderie 9,2 Merveilleux 28 avis 205 $ CA 438 $ CA au total (taxes et frais compris) Du 16 oct. au 17 oct.

Séjour de 8 nuits en juillet 2019 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Bruce G., Richland, WA, USA 5 oct. 2025 Points forts : Propreté The apartment was perfect for the two couples to use as a based to explore Tuscony during our 2-week stay. The apartment was small but very comfortable and clean, with common areas to be together as well as separate spaces to have time apart. It had everything we required while we were there including a small but well outfitted kitchen, a washing machine to do laundry, comfortable beds, etc. Dinners were prepared several times in th kitchen and we had all the utensils, pots & pans, and great tools for making fine Italian meals. The surrounding area had many wineries ranging from "industrial scale" to small farms that grew other fruits and vegetables besides grapes and olives. We enjoyed the farm experiences that paired great food with their fine olive oils and wines. Our favorites were La Spinosa and Casa Emma. The location also allow us to easily visit Florence, Sienna, Greve, and even San Vincenzo for a day.Our host, Cindy, was a delight to work with on the reeervation. She was very responsive to our questions from the time of our booking to during the stay. A highlight of the trip was taking one of the cooking classes Cindy offers. We opted to travel to Florence for the class, which gave us an opportunity to join Cindy on the shopping trip to the local open-air marker for produce and shops for meats and wine. Cindy worked along side the 4 of us to craft a great Tuscon meal that we shared with Cindy and her husband, which was an exceptional treat. ##### Bruce G.

Séjour de 4 nuits en septembre 2025 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Richard M., Marlton 1 sept. 2025 Points forts : Propreté If you've been thinking about visiting Tuscany and exploring local wineries and cities within a one- to two-hour drive, including Florence, Siena, and Bologna, this is the ideal central location for you. This home is situated in the heart of an ancient village, offering a unique opportunity to experience local culture and get to know the neighborhood residents. With five restaurants within walking distance, you'll have ample opportunities to dine on local cuisine. Parking is also readily available, just a short walk from the home. This is an ideal spot for those seeking a social atmosphere, where they can meet fellow travelers and locals from other countries. The rooftop terrace is perfect for sipping morning coffee or afternoon wine. Both bedrooms are beautifully decorated and air-conditioned, and the kitchen is fully equipped for preparing gourmet meals. Our landlord was outstanding, providing top-notch service and offering expert recommendations for exploring the local area. We often spent our days driving to nearby wineries for tours, returning home in the afternoon to rest before heading out for dinner at one of the many nearby family restaurants. There is no pool or hot tub. It’s an ancient village, but we drove 25 minutes away and they have public pools for seven euros per adult to hang out all day .This HOME truly exceeded our expectations. in addition, the landlord gives cooking classes that you can pre-arrange with her. you will definitely have fun. ![Three restaurants within 25 feet of our front door and two restaurants 500 feet from our front door.

Toll bei Sonnenuntergang.Ein Fläschchen Wein als netter Willkommensgruß. Alles bestens. Gerne wieder! ##### Andreas D. Séjour de 6 nuits en juillet 2025 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Gary C., alameda 1 juill. 2025 Points forts : Propreté #### Please keep this place a secret! We had a wonderful stay in this little castle hideaway. We had 3 glorious weeks in Italy, and this was our favorite spot of the trip. Cindy was a wonderful host, giving us great tips and very useful connections. The food in the town was also excellent, just steps away from your door. We are only telling our closest friends about this place however, as we want to be able to go back. May we suggest that others that stay here follow the same policy.. ##### Gary C. Séjour de 4 nuits en juin 2025 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Jerry M. 1 juin 2025 Points forts : Propreté #### Amazing Clean, comfortable and well equipped with sweeping views of Tuscan countryside to awaken to. Very responsive host able to assist you. We first stayed ten years ago, only to revisit again we love it so much. The hamlet is a unique, incredible experience. ##### Jerry M. Séjour de 5 nuits en mai 2025 ### 6/10 – Acceptable #### John C. 20 mai 2025 Points forts : Propreté #### Charming but with issues The village is delightful, with a couple of very good dining options. The views from the bedroom are gorgeous, and the little terrace outside it is lovely for an evening aperitif, but the property has some drawbacks. The stairs are tricky - getting luggage up there is not easy. While accepting that it is very old and charming, there were some things that didn’t function so well for us. We barely used the downstairs bathroom because of the smell.The bedroom got very stuffy at night - the AC was inadequate, and leaving windows open was not an option because of mosquitoes. An insect screen or two would solve that. The dining area is very pleasant but the adjoining kitchen is in need of some attention, with a cupboard door falling off. We were not able to work the dishwasher.It was good to have a well-functioning washing machine and clothes drying was easy on the little terrace. Overall we have to say the stay was a bit disappointing considering the price. ##### John C. Séjour de 9 nuits en mai 2025 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Kristy D. 14 mai 2025 Points forts : Propreté #### Beautiful! Barberino Val D’Elsa is a charming town, perfect for a slow paced vacation. The rental apartment had everything we needed, including laundry facilities. The views from the bedroom were amazing. Cindy’s directions to the apartment and to check in were detailed so we had no problem. Parking was a 3 minute walk away and free. This rental was a hidden Tuscan gem, definitely recommend. ##### Kristy D. Séjour de 3 nuits en avril 2025 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Bruce T. 23 avr. 2025 Points forts : Propreté #### Fantastic Tuscan getaway Great apartment in a picturesque, ancient walled village in the heart of wine country. Perfect location for exploring Tuscany (rental car a must), with excellent local restaurants to enjoy upon your return in the evening. Cindy is an amazing host, very responsive and helpful. She’s also a fantastic cook, and her private cooking lesson was a highlight of the trip. ##### Bruce T.

Séjour de 5 nuits en octobre 2024 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Edward S. 22 oct. 2024 Points forts : Propreté #### Excellent accommodations in a lovely town! We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Barberino Val d’Else! First, our accommodations were just as described and our host was helpful and accommodating to our needs and interests. Second, the quaint village appears just as one might imagine an 800 year old stone village would, with narrow streets and walkways. Barberino was a great choice for home base to explore Tuscany. Third, the restaurants all were wonderful — we sampled them all, including some in the countryside and we enjoyed each one. To top it off, there are local wines available for tasting and purchase. If/when we return to Tuscany, we know where we will stay. ##### Edward S.

Séjour de 6 nuits en octobre 2024 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Randolph C., Bermuda Run, North Carolina, USA 8 oct. 2024 Points forts : Propreté #### Can't say enough about the location and the flat This might be the perfect flat and location in central Tuscany. The medieval village is so charming, and the locals are very friendly. Food and drink are within easy walking distance and its central location makes a short trip to everywhere you could want to go in Tuscany and surrounding areas. The flat is located on the top floor and the views from the bedrooms are spectacular. We have never been disappointed staying here and the host is always available to help if needed. ##### Randolph C. Séjour de 8 nuits en septembre 2024 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Scott D. 22 sept. 2024 Points forts : Propreté #### Perfecto! Off the beaten path. Located inside an old fortress. 40 minute drive from Florence. Beautiful countryside with grapes and olives! Ask owner about private cooking class. ##### Scott D. Séjour de 3 nuits en septembre 2024 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Kelly B. 24 août 2024 Points forts : Propreté #### Medieval without the evil! 😁 Beautiful area and very cool location in a medieval village. Apartment has 2 suites with their own full bathrooms. Perfect for 2 couples or with older kids. Kitchen is small but well set up with full size fridge, small oven, microwave and gas burners. Location is amazing in the heart of Tuscany grape, wine and olive growing. Beautiful scenery and views. Several restaurants in the village and within walking distance plus small grocery store. Highlight was discovering the local soccer club’s fund raising restaurant - outstanding wood fired oven pizzas plus pasta and charcuterie amd €4.50 pitchers of white wine plus helping out the locals. Great fun! Cindy also arranged a cooking class in the apartment which was great fun. Be prepared though - volume is high - plan to eat leftovers for at least one more day - maybe 2! Be prepared - the stairs to the apartment are steep and high. Anyone with mobility issues will have problems. Also in the hot summer the apartment is hard to keep cool. A/C units can just keep up in bedrooms but the living area is a challenge. We had 2 fans going blowing from the 2 bedrooms to cool the main living area. It was 35 to 40 C outside so understandable but need to be prepared. If you are driving the roads are hilly, curved and narrow. We found the drivers pretty good in the rural area compared to the cities in Italy. All in all a beautiful and restful area to stay in ##### Kelly B. Séjour de 6 nuits en août 2024 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Gary S. 23 août 2024 Points forts : Propreté #### Great week in a beautiful village This property is in the middle of a small walled village. The property is set along the ‘Main Street ” within the village walls and is on the top two floors of a traditional “townhouse “. It is well equipped and both bedrooms have air conditioning. There is a small terrace on the top floor and the views from both bedrooms and the terrace are stunning. Just be aware that there are a couple of flights of stone stairs up to the apartment however it is well worth it! There are a number of restaurants in the village some with uninterrupted views across the beautiful countryside. There is a small ‘sports bar” , just outside the walls, which sells great coffee, pastries and fresh bread. It became our morning routine to wander to the bar and sit outside with our coffee watching the world go by. The owners were very welcoming and great fun. You have to park in a car park just outside the village. We never had any problem getting a space. The surrounding area is beautiful and there are many hilltop villages to explore. We visited both Siena and Florence while we were there. Florence has a great “park and ride”facility just off the motorway as you approach the city from the south. There is plentiful parking and a tram service in to the city. This saved the hassle of trying to find parking in the city. We had a great time staying here and experiencing more of the traditional Italian way of life. We would return in a heartbeat. ##### Gary S. Séjour de 7 nuits en août 2024 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Justin T. 7 août 2024 Points forts : Propreté #### Serene & Memorable Stay This was a great opportunity to stay in a medieval town that truly felt surreal. Many great restaurants were within walking distance, and there was beautiful scenery all around. This was also a nice location to be able to explore Siena, San Gimignano, and Florence. It was a very hot few days, and the air conditioning units in the apartment did what they could, but we made the best of it. ##### Justin T. Séjour de 5 nuits en juillet 2024 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### David B. 5 août 2024 Points forts : Propreté #### Lovely flat in a charming hilltop village Barberino is a very small hilltop town, with several artisan shops and restaurants, with beautiful views of the countryside. The apartment is two floors with a small terrace perfect for reading or a meal, from which you can enjoy the sunset. Cindy and her husband renovated the flat, adding light and double windows from the primary bedroom that look out over the Tuscan countryside. Perfect setting for enjoying the town or exploring the Florentine countryside. ##### David B. Séjour de 5 nuits en juillet 2024
