About The Experience

So, you want to be located in a charming small town in Tuscany where you can have your morning cappuccino along with the locals? Look no further - this is the place for you! This apartment, located right in the historic center of the town is only 200 meters from the complex with the shared large pool overlooking the countryside. Stay here with your family or friends... you won't want to leave!

Location Description

The property is located in the town of Barberino Val d'Elsa where there are shops, restaurants, a great pizzeria, a market, a bank, and a post office. Dating back to the Middle Ages, Barberino Val d'Elsa marks the midway point between Siena and Florence. The village has an ancient church, castle, chapel, and beautiful views of the olive groves and vineyards that make up much of the Chianti Classico region. San Gimignano, a town you can see from the farmhouse, is a great place to go for a day trip. As one of the most visited towns in Tuscany, it is known for its rich history dating back to the Etruscan times. It is full of life and things to do. Popular attractions include the famous towers, the 12th century Duomo, the People's Palace, and several museums dedicated to artwork and archaeology. There are also plenty of wine tasting tours, art galleries, shops, and delicious restaurants. Numerous celebrations and gatherings are held every year including a music festival featuring theater, ballet, and opera performances, and a Medieval Harvest festival where the people of San Gimignano dress up as knights, play medieval games, and have tournaments. Of course, you'll also want to visit Florence and Siena during your trip and a train station in Certaldo, which is only 15 minutes away from the property, can get you there easily and conveniently.

Customer Reviews

Overall:
The location was excellent and good for day trips around the area. Several good local restaurants and eateries. Within one hours drive we could be in Volterra, Greve, Siena, etc.
Enjoyed Most:
It was very quaint and right in the small village of Barberino Val D'Elsa. Could walk for groceries, Internet cafe, restaurants.
Enjoyed Least:
Really no comfortable sitting area. The kitchen and sitting area were combined so you basically sat at the kitchen table or on a sofa by the table.
Surrounding Area:
The scenery, vineyards and other towns and small cities. Siena within a short drive.
Nearby Events or Locales:
This property is right in the old town.
Tips or Restaurants:
Definitely need a car to enjoy the area. The local transportation would be inconvenient. We went just up the street to the local estate winery "Pasolini". Massimo gave us a tour of their cellars which run under the town and we had the had tastings of their vintages, including grappa.
Check In Out:
We called ahead on our cell and ultimately got reception who met with us. We were staying up the road from the main property so dropped off bags and went back to the main area to park.

Overall:
Overall fantastic. We are planning to return next year and will definitely recommend to others. The the property caretaker was very pleasant to deal with and extremely helpful.
Enjoyed Most:
The view was fantastic. We were very pleased to arrive and find that the view rivaled the movies and my wife's fairy tale expectations of what the place would look like.
Enjoyed Least:
No major concerns. The small apartment we rented didn't have a stove which may have been nice but I'm assuming the other larger units have one.
Surrounding Area:
The town was very pleasant with necessities nearby. Good location for day trips and anything Tuscany had to offer.
Nearby Events or Locales:
Was within the village of Barberino Val D'elsa; definitely within walking distance.

Enjoyed Most:
The outside garden.
Enjoyed Least:
The centipedes.
Surrounding Area:
I loved that we were perched on a hill with great views of the valley.
Nearby Events or Locales:
We were in a town, right next door to a church and 2 little restaurants.
Tips or Restaurants:
The local osteria is very good. The little pizzeria-pasta place makes great food but has terrible service.
