The house looks onto the main street of the historical village Barberino Val d’Elsa (which is very quiet as it has been closed to traffic) on one side and onto the open landscape to the other side. A small jewel of Renaissance architecture it was built in the traditional alberese stone with architectural features typical of the Tuscan understated elegance. The house was given an important facelift in 2007. New kitchen and new bathrooms, as well as new beds, upholstery and painting.

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.



The living room on the main floor opens onto a terrace which looks out over the garden, vineyards, olive groves and - on a clear day - onto the towers of San Gimignano in the distance.

On the second floor there is a large living room with a fireplace and comfortable sofas and chairs from which you will reach the three bedrooms. Views from the windows are magnificent.

The main entrance to the house - a large wooden double door with a Renaissance stone cornice - leads into a courtyard with a well which again opens onto a large terrace with a pergola for meals outside.


The generous dining room opens onto a large family kitchen which was renewed in 2008 . Family antiques, books, terracotta flooring, exposed beams and mediterranean colorings create an elegant and welcoming atmosphere.
