VILLA SAN BARBERINO

The kitchen is fully equipped with a large cooker with a double oven and hotplates sat inside the striking stone fireplace. There is an informal kitchen table and double doors opening onto the front terrace. An arched passageway from the kitchen leads into the dining area, where guests can step out into the gardens and access the games room. The extended dining table seats up to 24 guests. At the back of the house, with arched doors overlooking spectacular views, is the double height living room. During the day light filters through the latticework of bricks that form the upper walls and there is a large copper fireplace surrounded by deep, comfortable sofas. The living room benefits from a large Satellite TV and a half-sized pool table on the mezzanine level. All of the bedrooms are air conditioned (with the option of under floor heating) and come with en suite bathrooms with a combination of baths and showers. On the ground floor one of the bedrooms connects into a Spa area with sauna, mosaic tiled steam room and a sunken Jacuzzi.

WHY WE LIKE IT: Villa San Barberino is a Tuscan countryside house which has been restored and furnished with love. It is the perfect place to escape the crowds, whilst only being a short drive from the iconic towns of San Gimignano and Siena. The property is also a working farm and is surrounded by olive trees and vineyards which makes for an authentic Tuscan experience.
