We arrived at Barbialla after a months of hard work and travel and found it the perfect place to completely and utterly relax. The days were filled with lying around reading in a variety of comfortable and scenic places, eating local food and strolling through the truffle and porcini-filled forests hoping to strike it lucky. Everything Kiera and Ivano (the... More

After a week of Italian cities this was just what we needed. Somewhere quiet to unwind and enjoy the Italian countryside. This is a farm where you can just chill out and enjoy the environment around you, the great walks and most importantly the food! Day trips to San Grimignano, Pisa Florence are all driving distance, but make sure if... More

This place has incredible charm. A working farm, a beautiful and huge estate offering nature walks, visiting the animals etc. A charming apartment in a very rural setting. Cooking in a kitchen with an open fireplace - that is italianitá at its best. We bought a chianina t-bone steak from the butcher in San Miniato and grilled our own bistecca... More

Barbialla Nuova offers a unique experience that you'll never forget. My boyfriend and I stayed here as volunteers, and were astounded by the level of personality and care that goes into each and every part of this magical place. The biggest differentiator is how Barbialla let's you truly experience the life of a Tuscan. You have the ability to drive... More

I have been recommending this holiday to friends ever since we returned! The apartment was beautifully designed - simple but thoughtful and sensitive to the local environment. I came home with lots of inspiration for our own house..! The area was wonderful to explore - San Gimignano, Volterra, Florence, Siena. We did short drives by car or took the train... More

We were a group of 7 and stayed in Doderi Alto, which is the top floor apartment of a beautiful converted farmhouse, high up on a hill so the views were amazing. Our three year old son loved it, he had so much space to wander round, loved picking the fruit, and loved looking at the animals in the reception... More

My wife and I stayed in June with our 7 year old son. We last came when he was 1 as we had enjoyed it before, but it has improved since then and now has a farm produce shop and an office full of books. We stayed at Doderi Est, which is rustic and relatively basic, but suited us fine... More

Based on reviews and photos of this property, we had very high expectations. We picked up our rental car in Florence earlier than planned so that we could escape the overwhelming heat. It was a pleasant surprise to find that the drive to the Fattoria was about 45 minutes only. It was such a relief to be welcomed by Kyre... More

It started with a warm welcome at a magnificent property! Kyre and her husband who run the agriturismo are such a lovely couple ... they helped us with guiding us to our little house, provided us with wood when we needed it for our fireplace, shared rubber boots if we wanted to go for a walk, helped us planning trips...
