Val d'Elsa Tuscany Italy Holiday Villa Rental

Barberino Palazzo lies onthe fortified hilltop village Barberino Val d'Elsa lies in the heart of the famous Chianti area, a region stretching between Florence and Sie na (both cities are only 1/2 hours drive by car), and in easy reach of Lucca, Pisa, San Gimignano, Volterra and Arezzo, all to be reached in less than one hour by car.

Barberino Palazzo stands on the main street of the historical village Barberino Val d’Elsa (which is very quiet as it has been closed to traffic). A small jewel of Renaissance architecture it was built in the traditional alberese stone with architectural features typical of the Tuscan understated elegance. A good supermarket lies just ouside the village. In the village of Tavarnelle, 2 kms north, you will find a wider range of shops as well as a market once a week.

From the terrace few steps lead to the garden, the pool and the open countryside. The view and the sunsets to be seen from here, as well as from all windows looking out to the back of the house, are magnificent - the famous Chianti hills with vineyards and olive groves and the towers of San Gimignano in the backdrop.

Testimonials & Customer Comments

We have just returned from our trip and I wanted to write to tell you how fabulous our week in Barberino Val D’Elsa was.  We absolutely loved the house and village.  The “palazetto” was so beautiful and extensive, it surpassed our wildest expectations. Indescribably comfortable and charming, plenty of room for everyone, and the views of Tuscany and of the village were to die for.  We couldn’t have been happier with our choice.  Barberino was ideally located – we traveled easily to Siena, Florence, San Gimignano, Greve, and also had several leisurely days enjoying the pool and vistas. The village was charming and well equipped for our needs (bakery, groceries, banking, pizzeria), and we felt perfectly safe letting our kids wander on their own.  They even made friends with some local boys and had numerous “futbol” matches at the local field.  Adriana and Deana were darling and helpful.  Please extend our thanks to them and to the owners once again.
