Beautiful house in a cozy village in the heart of Chianti. The garden with pool is stunning and the house is very well restored and perfect to enjoy a relaxing vacation. Truly raccomended
This property is beautiful inside and out. If I remember correctly, there’s 20-25 people currently living in Barbischio. It’s peaceful with fantastic views to the west over Gaiole. Gailoe is less than 10 minutes away with access to grocery, meat market, several restaurants and gelato!
The location is perfect with access to the train in Montivarchi in 25-30 minutes. Radda, Volpaia, Greve,,Siena, San Gimignano…all close.
We will stay here again.
