FAR AWAY from the beautiful rooms & surroundings pictured on their web-site. The rooms are very poor and dirty! The place is worn out! Felt like I was staying in a 1* hotel!! The location is bad, uncharming and far from idyllic. Standing in the garden you have a view to something looking like a new clear reactor plant. The... more

This year I returned to the Villa for the third time in three years. I was a student of a quilting, painting, and cooking group. I find the place magical. It is a restored Villa (read its history online), not a modern hotel. It is a geothermal plant nearby.It is a safe, clean energy plant. Enjoy the views in the... more

I return to Villa Barberino every year with a group of students to hold Painting, Art Quilting and Cooking classes. Every year the villa and its staff just keep getting better and better.

I am thankful that the Villa Barberino had a website because it was the deciding factor. We booked a standard room via their website. I conducted research for our trip and I underestimated... more

The Villa and farm of Barberino is where the Castello di Barberino was located during the fight betwenThe Republic of Florence and Arezzo. It is located in the hills between the Arno valley and Chianti region. It is fully restored and a beautiful location for a holiday. Even if you are not an artist - the view and location will... more

Um mit dem positiven anzufangen: Die Außenanlage der Villa Barberino ist sehr gepflegt und angenehm. Das wars dann aber auch... more
