If you want to spend your holiday in the centre of a delightful medieval Chianti village, Barberino Val d’Elsa, with all near-at-hand facilities,  is one of the best solution for your stay. Perched on a hill, 458 meters above the sea level, it has an attractive small main street and city walls that offers you gorgeous view on the valley and the surrounding hills.  Its location, once important for military reason, is really strategic because it is half way between Florence and Siena (each 30 minutes distant by car) and it is very easy to reach thanks to the famous Roman  Cassia road that connect the village to Florence. Barberino Val d’Elsa is a perfect starting point to discover a place of extraordinary beauty such as Chianti.  Even for those without car, it’s possible to visit the famous cities of San Gimignano, Volterra, Sienna or Florence by an hourly bus service. Living in a village allows you to learn more about Italian people and Italian life style...
