We travelled as an extended family to Barbialla Nuova for my mother's 60th birthday for a long weekend. I chose Barbialla as our base for it's reasonable cost and proximity to Florence, San Gimignano, Lucca and Pisa. We expected a true rustic stay in an authentic tuscan environment and it did not disappoint. Our home was Brentina Ovest, (located 15... more

Spent a small week in Doderi farmhouse in April. Weather was not kind with us, so we'll have to come back one day to fully enjoy this place. Tidy, soberly but fully furbished, it's a great place to take time to relax, breath and simply enjoy your time. Drive carefully at night, bacause you migth face lovely wild animals you've... more

We heard about this place from a friend in UK who stayed with us for a week. April in Tuscany is a great time of the year. The location and setting of this large organic farm is quiet, beautiful and refreshingly rustic. The accommodations are simple but charming comfortable and well thought out. The staff are friendly, unobtrusive and eager... more

Our little family 'lived' for 3 weeks in the Doderi at Barbialla! We loved the simple pool, the rugged vegetation, the view, and the table on our balcony overlooking it all. The wild nature of the farm suited us. The caretakers were friendly, considerate and very helpful. The suites were artistic, clean and comfortable. We were able to visit Chianti,... more

The farm its huge and in a fantastic location , perfect for people like us that wanted the peace of the countryside but... more

Located in close proximity to Tuscan antiquity (Volterra, Montaione) yet removed from the tourists who bus in on a daily basis to see Tuscany. We stayed in a farm house built in the 1850's on top of a hill surrounded by farmland. The gracious staff are there for any questions and supply a list of local produce availabe in the... more

The best week's holiday we've ever had! This place is simply fantastic. If you're looking for somewhere that's peaceful and relaxing with beautiful views across rolling Tuscan hills, then this is the place for you. Our accommodation was part of an old farmhouse (Doderi) that has been sympathetically renovated, and was both clean and very comfortable. There's lots of space... more

We stayed in the Brentini farmhouse situated on the top of a hill with panoramic views over the Tuscan countryside. The staff at the farm were more than accommodating and willing to help with any of our requests.....including "how do we get married in Florence?!" We plan to go back after we marry to celebrate with friends. more
