English Barberino is a hill village of much charm and character, equidistant from Siena and Florence. It is famous for its Chianti wine and cold-pressed olive oil, but most of all for the beautifully preserved mediaeval centre approached through an ancient gate, with merloned walls and stone-paved streets. Local people are friendly and hospitable and living here one can enjoy taking part, even as a spectator, in the active life of a small hill village. There is a market on Saturdays and there are shops, a restaurant, a bank and several bars. Except for a welcome increase in prosperity, nothing seems to have changed over the centuries. That group of pensioners must have stayed gossiping there for ever in the same way and the passeggiata in the evening sunlight can never conceivably have been interrupted. The owners' personal oenoteca in the village offers a fascinating and informative opportunity to taste and purchase wines and olive oils from the family's estates in Chianti and other prestigious wine producing areas in Italy. Description La Terrazza is a spacious apartment on the first floor of the medieval main street. Accommodation Entrance into an elegant hallway, next to the enoteca. Wide stone stairs lead up to the front door. The comfortable sitting / dining room has french windows opening onto a large, furnished terrace at the rear of the building, with splendid views across Chianti. There are two bathrooms, a breakfast kitchen, a double, a twin and a single bedroom, and a dressing room. Rooms are tall, light and airy and the attractive furniture is good quality and comfortable.
