Together with other 9 apartments, this small detached house is part of a fortified hamlet of which we already find historical mention in 1037. Located in the whereabouts of Barberino Val dElsa, in the heart of the Chianti Classico, the residential complex overlooks a landscape marked by woodlands, vineyards and olive groves where there are still numerous Etruscan and Roman traces. Its strategic position in the centre of Tuscany makes it an ideal starting point from which to visit the main Tuscan art cities. The accommodation, with an independent entrance, was originally a barn and has an outdoor patio and a large private garden which gives the guests all the privacy they need to enjoy the open air. The swimming pool, with its irregular shape (01/05-30/09) as well as the other outdoor areas, are shared with the guests from the other apartments. The house has central heating, wi-fi Internet connection, air conditioning in the bedrooms.
