Exteriors
This wonderful Tuscan villa was built in the 19th century and is a formal country house of 600 sqm., erect at the center of an extremely spacious garden which hosts a large panoramic infinity swimming pool commanding views over the neverending Chianti landscape.
The driveway descends toward the shaded parking spots. Few steps further is the courtyard of Villa dei Barberi embellished by an original Tuscan well in between the main villa and the guest house. Walking past the main villa one enters the wide garden area, a special place to contemplate the Chianti vineyards under the shaded gazebo. Here "alfresco" meals are a treat to your senses. This location is also wonderful for weddings. The panoramic swimming is just fex steps below the villa, right past the wellness cottage. In the evening, this is the place where to enjoy magic violet sunsets reflect on the still waters of the infinity pool.

This Tuscan villa is easily reached by car through the freeway Florence - Siena. Public transportation is readily accessible (1 hour from Siena or from Florence). Set at walking distance to town, this villa enjoyes the proximity to a lovely medieval village. The nearest international airports are located in Florence and Pisa.
