Panoramautsikt över Toscana frÄn hÀrlig 2BD lÀgenhet i Medeltida fÀstningstorget

VÄr vÀlutrustade lÀgenhet med tvÄ sovrum ligger i murarna i en gammal fÀstningsstad mitt i Florens och Siena. Vi försökte hÄlla fastigheten i gamla vÀrldens charm, vi, Àgarna (en amerikansk och italiensk), restaurerade fastigheten pÄ 90-talet och till vÄr glÀdje, med sin eklektiska mix av toskanska möbler och asiatisk konst, presenterades vÄrt hem i tidningen Casa di Campagna.

LÀgenheten sover bekvÀmt 4 men rymmer 5. Sovrummet med sin mysiga, privata takterrass och tvÄ vÀlvda fönster ger gÀsterna en 360 ° utsikt över Toscana. verkligen ett sovrum med utsikt - den perfekta smekmÄnadens retrÀtt. Det andra sovrummet erbjuder ocksÄ förtrollande utsikt över Toscanas silverolivlundar och lapptÀckta vingÄrdar. Detta sovrum har tvÄ enkelsÀngar (som ocksÄ kan sÀttas ihop för att göra en annan queen size-sÀng) och en stol som gör till en bekvÀm enkelsÀng. SÄledes kan detta rum rymma 3 personer. Det stora sovrummet Àr Ä andra sidan utsetts med en queen size-sÀng och en bekvÀm soffa för lÀsning och avkoppling. Det finns ocksÄ en t. v. i sovrummet med satellitdisk för att ta emot CNN och BBC för engelsktalande gÀster.

Huvudrummet Àr ett öppet utrymme dÀr det vÀlutrustade kökskÄpan ligger tillsammans med ett antikt marmorplats matbord och tvÄ bekvÀma soffor för avkoppling efter en dags sightseeing. Att jag, Àgaren, Àr en toskansk matlagningsinstruktör och kokbokförfattare, kommer sÀkert att hitta allt man behöver för att förbereda en salig toskansk mÄltid i det lilla men mycket effektiva köket, komplett med diskmaskin och mikrovÄgsugn.

Det italienska kaklat badrummet, med sin stora inbyggda duschkabin, ligger intill sovrummet pÄ nedervÄningen. Det finns en tvÀttmaskin i lÀgenheten. Ett torkstÀll finns i övervÄningen sovrums garderob.

Det finns wifi i hela lÀgenheten med 24-timmars fri tillgÄng. Det finns ocksÄ en CD-spelare i vardagsrummet med en handfull italienska CD-skivor ... Pavorotti nÄgon?

Hamlet, en typisk medeltida fÀstning stad omgiven av stenmurar med tvÄ ingÄngar genom bÄge byggda runt 1202, Àr mycket pittoreska. VÄr egendom ligger pÄ den största kullerstensgatan inom vÀggarna. OcksÄ inom vÀggarna hittar man tvÄ utmÀrkta restauranger, tvÄ vinbarer, en slaktare och nÄgra andra anlÀggningar. Min frisör Àr en av de tvÄ. Strax utanför fÀstningen Àr det allt man behöver inom en 2 minuters promenad (tvÄ banker med bankomat, tvÄ kaffebar, ett bageri, tvÄ livsmedelsbutiker, ett apotek, ett postkontor med mera). Det finns bussar som gÄr till och frÄn Florens och Siena (55 minuter i bÄda riktningarna) frÄn 6 a. m. fram till 7 s. m. MÄndag till fredag. Dessa bussar kör ocksÄ pÄ helgerna med ett nÄgot annat schema.

AngrÀnsande stÀderna Certaldo Alto (en annan kÀnd bergsstad) och San Gimignano (Toscana i Manhattan) ligger inom 20 minuters bilresa. Det finns mÄnga kulle stÀder spredt runt denna förtrollande regionen Toscana (kÀnd som Chiantshire till engelska). SÄledes rekommenderar jag verkligen att du har en bil för att utforska dessa dolda skatter.

NÀrmaste stad till byn Àr Tavarnelle Val Di Pesa. Det finns en hÀrlig gÄngvÀg som förbinder denna mer moderna by till Barberino Val D'Elsa. Banan Àr ca 2 km och tar vandrare genom olivlundar pÄ vÀgen till grannbyn. Intressen: Tavarnelle har en hÀrlig utomhusmarknad pÄ torsdag morgon frÄn 8a. m. till 1 p. m .- vÀrt ett besök att blanda med lokalbefolkningen medan du plockar upp ekologiska grönsaker.

SÄ, om du blandar med lokalbefolkningen i en liten fÀstningstorg i Toscana, Àr du pÄ din önskelista och titta inte lÀngre. Barberino och vÄr lÀgenhet Àr den perfekta platsen att göra just det.

Jag, Àgaren, Àr alltid glad att ge ytterligare information om omrÄdet till resande gÀster (t.ex. festivaler, mÀssor, vingÄrdar att besöka, konstutstÀllningar etc.). Jag kan ocksÄ ordna matlagningsverkstÀder i fastigheten eller i Florens för de "foodies" dÀr ute och / eller privata mÄltider i florentinska hem. OcksÄ för de som inte vill ge upp en djurs kreativkomfort under sommarmÄnaderna, Àr det glÀdjande att leda gÀster till tvÄ hÀrliga utomhuspooler i trÀdgÄrdsinstÀllningar, dÀr man kan betala en avkopplande eftermiddagspool vid en nominell avgift .

The apartment was perfect for the two couples to use as a based to explore Tuscony during our 2-week stay. The apartment was small but very comfortable and clean, with common areas to be together as well as separate spaces to have time apart. It had everything we required while we were there including a small but well outfitted kitchen, a washing machine to do laundry, comfortable beds, etc. Dinners were prepared several times in th kitchen and we had all the utensils, pots & pans, and great tools for making fine Italian meals. The surrounding area had many wineries ranging from "industrial scale" to small farms that grew other fruits and vegetables besides grapes and olives. We enjoyed the farm experiences that paired great food with their fine olive oils and wines. Our favorites were La Spinosa and Casa Emma. The location also allow us to easily visit Florence, Sienna, Greve, and even San Vincenzo for a day.Our host, Cindy, was a delight to work with on the reeervation. She was very responsive to our questions from the time of our booking to during the stay. A highlight of the trip was taking one of the cooking classes Cindy offers. We opted to travel to Florence for the class, which gave us an opportunity to join Cindy on the shopping trip to the local open-air marker for produce and shops for meats and wine. Cindy worked along side the 4 of us to craft a great Tuscon meal that we shared with Cindy and her husband, which was an exceptional treat.

There are not enough words to express how wonderful this home is! Comfortable, clean, and a perfect location. Everything we could ask for and more. Cindy was an amazing host - answering all our questions, providing guidance on places to go and things to see, and helping with those all-important dinner reservations. Everything about our stay was ideal (even the rainy days!). Loved Barberino Val d'Elsa!

If you've been thinking about visiting Tuscany and exploring local wineries and cities within a one- to two-hour drive, including Florence, Siena, and Bologna, this is the ideal central location for you. This home is situated in the heart of an ancient village, offering a unique opportunity to experience local culture and get to know the neighborhood residents. With five restaurants within walking distance, you'll have ample opportunities to dine on local cuisine. Parking is also readily available, just a short walk from the home. This is an ideal spot for those seeking a social atmosphere, where they can meet fellow travelers and locals from other countries. The rooftop terrace is perfect for sipping morning coffee or afternoon wine. Both bedrooms are beautifully decorated and air-conditioned, and the kitchen is fully equipped for preparing gourmet meals. Our landlord was outstanding, providing top-notch service and offering expert recommendations for exploring the local area. We often spent our days driving to nearby wineries for tours, returning home in the afternoon to rest before heading out for dinner at one of the many nearby family restaurants. There is no pool or hot tub. It’s an ancient village, but we drove 25 minutes away and they have public pools for seven euros per adult to hang out all day .This HOME truly exceeded our expectations. in addition, the landlord gives cooking classes that you can pre-arrange with her. you will definitely have fun.
Three restaurants within 25 feet of our front door and two restaurants 500 feet from our front door. A coffee shop at each end of the town that sells gelato drinks and coffee
The kitchen was large enough to cook for a family, even though we only use the kitchen for coffee tea because we would take a walk in the morning and in the evening to get either cappuccino or dessert
Restaurants lively with people
You can drive your rental car through the archway opening and go through the whole town you can unload your car, but you have to park outside of the main road through the Town a five minute walk no pay apart

Please keep this place a secret!

We had a wonderful stay in this little castle hideaway. We had 3 glorious weeks in Italy, and this was our favorite spot of the trip. Cindy was a wonderful host, giving us great tips and very useful connections. The food in the town was also excellent, just steps away from your door. We are only telling our closest friends about this place however, as we want to be able to go back. May we suggest that others that stay here follow the same policy..

Charming but with issues

The village is delightful, with a couple of very good dining options. The views from the bedroom are gorgeous, and the little terrace outside it is lovely for an evening aperitif, but the property has some drawbacks. The stairs are tricky - getting luggage up there is not easy. While accepting that it is very old and charming, there were some things that didn’t function so well for us. We barely used the downstairs bathroom because of the smell.The bedroom got very stuffy at night - the AC was inadequate, and leaving windows open was not an option because of mosquitoes. An insect screen or two would solve that. The dining area is very pleasant but the adjoining kitchen is in need of some attention, with a cupboard door falling off. We were not able to work the dishwasher.It was good to have a well-functioning washing machine and clothes drying was easy on the little terrace. Overall we have to say the stay was a bit disappointing considering the price.

Excellent accommodations in a lovely town!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Barberino Val d’Else! First, our accommodations were just as described and our host was helpful and accommodating to our needs and interests. Second, the quaint village appears just as one might imagine an 800 year old stone village would, with narrow streets and walkways. Barberino was a great choice for home base to explore Tuscany. Third, the restaurants all were wonderful — we sampled them all, including some in the countryside and we enjoyed each one. To top it off, there are local wines available for tasting and purchase. If/when we return to Tuscany, we know where we will stay.

Can't say enough about the location and the flat

This might be the perfect flat and location in central Tuscany. The medieval village is so charming, and the locals are very friendly. Food and drink are within easy walking distance and its central location makes a short trip to everywhere you could want to go in Tuscany and surrounding areas. The flat is located on the top floor and the views from the bedrooms are spectacular. We have never been disappointed staying here and the host is always available to help if needed.

Medieval without the evil! 😁

Beautiful area and very cool location in a medieval village. Apartment has 2 suites with their own full bathrooms. Perfect for 2 couples or with older kids. Kitchen is small but well set up with full size fridge, small oven, microwave and gas burners. Location is amazing in the heart of Tuscany grape, wine and olive growing. Beautiful scenery and views. Several restaurants in the village and within walking distance plus small grocery store. Highlight was discovering the local soccer club’s fund raising restaurant - outstanding wood fired oven pizzas plus pasta and charcuterie amd €4.50 pitchers of white wine plus helping out the locals. Great fun! Cindy also arranged a cooking class in the apartment which was great fun. Be prepared though - volume is high - plan to eat leftovers for at least one more day - maybe 2! Be prepared - the stairs to the apartment are steep and high. Anyone with mobility issues will have problems. Also in the hot summer the apartment is hard to keep cool. A/C units can just keep up in bedrooms but the living area is a challenge. We had 2 fans going blowing from the 2 bedrooms to cool the main living area. It was 35 to 40 C outside so understandable but need to be prepared. If you are driving the roads are hilly, curved and narrow. We found the drivers pretty good in the rural area compared to the cities in Italy. All in all a beautiful and restful area to stay in

Great week in a beautiful village

This property is in the middle of a small walled village. The property is set along the ‘Main Street ” within the village walls and is on the top two floors of a traditional “townhouse “. It is well equipped and both bedrooms have air conditioning. There is a small terrace on the top floor and the views from both bedrooms and the terrace are stunning. Just be aware that there are a couple of flights of stone stairs up to the apartment however it is well worth it! There are a number of restaurants in the village some with uninterrupted views across the beautiful countryside. There is a small ‘sports bar” , just outside the walls, which sells great coffee, pastries and fresh bread. It became our morning routine to wander to the bar and sit outside with our coffee watching the world go by. The owners were very welcoming and great fun. You have to park in a car park just outside the village. We never had any problem getting a space. The surrounding area is beautiful and there are many hilltop villages to explore. We visited both Siena and Florence while we were there. Florence has a great “park and ride”facility just off the motorway as you approach the city from the south. There is plentiful parking and a tram service in to the city. This saved the hassle of trying to find parking in the city. We had a great time staying here and experiencing more of the traditional Italian way of life. We would return in a heartbeat.

Serene & Memorable Stay

This was a great opportunity to stay in a medieval town that truly felt surreal. Many great restaurants were within walking distance, and there was beautiful scenery all around. This was also a nice location to be able to explore Siena, San Gimignano, and Florence. It was a very hot few days, and the air conditioning units in the apartment did what they could, but we made the best of it.

Lovely flat in a charming hilltop village

Barberino is a very small hilltop town, with several artisan shops and restaurants, with beautiful views of the countryside. The apartment is two floors with a small terrace perfect for reading or a meal, from which you can enjoy the sunset. Cindy and her husband renovated the flat, adding light and double windows from the primary bedroom that look out over the Tuscan countryside. Perfect setting for enjoying the town or exploring the Florentine countryside.

Om vÀrden

Cindy Harding Àr vÀrd

VĂ€rdens profilbild
Born and raised in California, I relocated to Tuscany in 1979 after meeting my Florentine husband on a vacation the year before.

I fell in love with Tuscany and especially Barberino Val D’Elsa. For an American, the village was a fairytale spot. I was bound and determined to own something in that fortress town. It took 10 years, but finally in 1989 a small tower property came up for sale. We bought it within 10 minutes of seeing it. It took nearly two years of restoration (binding laws, thick walls and slow workers) to finish our home. Initially it was to be our vacation spot. But, after the renovation I insisted we move in and live the authentic life of Tuscan villagers. And that we did for 4 years. Once our boys became of school age we moved to Florence where sports and school trumped the serene village life I preferred; keeping our small tower apartment in the Chianti wine region for our weekend retreat.

Although we live in Florence, the first sixteen years of my Italian life were spent in this region. The first twelve years in a two hundred year old farmhouse near the hamlet, then in the hamlet. Thanks to the women in this area (moms and grandmothers) who took me under their wings, I soon became a Tuscan mother myself. Knowing my passion for food and cooking, they shared their culinary secrets with me, shared their kitchens, and shared their stories. Once I relocated to the city, I decided to share my Tuscan life by writing a food memoire/recipe book in honor of what these ‘fine’ chefs taught me: Zucchini Blossoms -A Culinary Memoir & Recipes From Tuscany.

Varför vÀrden valde detta boende

Set in a unique spot, the fortress town is surrounded by Tuscany’s patchwork vineyards and silvery olive groves. As a writer and lover of nature and history, I was swept away by the area and the hamlet's authenticity. So, in 1989 when this property came up for sale, I knew I had to have it. It took over two years to complete the restoration of the apartment. We were careful in keeping the authenticity of its architectural makeup but at the same time wanted to give it a bit of modernity.

Vad som gör detta boende unikt

The views from our master bedroom are simply breathtaking. Every time I open the bifora window in our bedroom, or walk out onto the cozy rooftop terrace, a smile crosses my lips... 'this is Tuscany,' I think. I am truly blessed to have relocated to this enchanting corner of the globe some four decades ago.
