Villa Barberino  

In the rolling hills between the Valdarno and the Chianti valleys, in the heart of old Tuscany. Villa Barberino sits in Cavriglia, a restored borgo that puts you within reach of Radda and Gaiole in Chianti and a scenic drive to Siena (about 56 km) and Florence sights like Piazzale Michelangelo, Basilica of Santa Croce and the Pitti Palace. Pet-friendly and parking-friendly—small pets accepted on request and free parking available.

An ancient villa and borgo carefully restored with epoch furniture and antique objects. Rooms range from classic and frescoed superiors to a studio with kitchenette and one-bedroom apartments with terraces. Many rooms sit in a historic watchtower or near the pool, surrounded by lush Italian gardens and woodland.

Cool off in the outdoor pool or relax at the solarium after a day in the hills. On-site perks include a tennis court, a mini-golf area, bar, Italian gardens and a little wood for strolling. Free, unattended car park and lift access make stays easy. Expect simple wellness offerings and a laid-back borgo vibe.

Multi-function meeting rooms and a business center are available for events or work needs. Free Wi-Fi in rooms keeps you connected while the reception and meeting spaces handle small conferences and board meetings.

Start with a rich continental breakfast buffet. Il Tributo restaurant serves homemade egg pasta, roasted meats, classic Tuscan sauces and regional desserts, backed by a cellar of notable local wines. A bar on site keeps evenings relaxed and social.
