Thank you for sharing your experience! We're thrilled you enjoyed a relaxing stay in the Chianti and that the home and garden provided the perfect setting. Your recommendation means a lot, and we’d love to welcome you back soon for more peaceful, memorable moments.
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.
