Sehr nette Vermieterin, komplett ausgestattet, sauber und gut.
In Mitten der Toskana in einem putzigen mittelaterlichem Örtchen. Hier ist der Tourismus noch nicht so sehr eingefallen, jedoch bei den Fremden 3 beliebte und gute Restaurants. Sonst nur ein Geschäft für hochwertige Lederwaren, Metzger und Vinothek. Außerhalb des Ortskerns zwei Lebensmittelgeschäfte und Zeitungskiosk etc. Von hier ist es nicht weit bis San Giminiano und Volterra, 40 Minuten bis Florenz. Also mit dem Auto kann von hier aus in alle Richtungen erkunden. Einzig zu bemerken, Langschläfer werden von dem nahen Glockenturm nicht begeistert sein, ab sieben Uhr geht halbstündig die Glocke. Die Terasse ist klein aber schön hoch gelegen. Wir haben die Zeit dort sehr genossen.

Great Location
This property is ideally situated with gorgeous sunrise views on one side of town, sunset on the other. We easily visited San Gimignano, Florence, and drove along the Chanti Road. The highlight was the people in town. It's such a cozy village, we quickly crossed paths repeatedly with the same few residents and/or visitors and greeted each other like old friends after a day or two. Giovanni and David at Pico were so welcoming each evening as we strolled in for apertivos on the terrace, and the pizza is magical. Paola, owner of Le Sete di Paola, was a joy (she offers textile arts classes, which we wish we knew before arriving becasue we absolutely would have booked a class with her...be sure to check out her shop for beautiful handmade items). However, the property itself felt a bit neglected. The master bed was incredibly loud (the couple in the main floor bedroom could hear every toss and turn happening above) and sagged in the middle, which did not make for restful sleep. The main floor bed was incredibly comfortable, though. In both bathrooms we found various half-used bottles of toiletries scattered about. We had hoped to stay in one night to grill, but the charcoal barbeque appears to be clothespin storage. The small dishwasher was a treat, as we could run it after breakfast when we left for the day; but finding dishwasher detergent was a bit of a scavenger hunt (hint: try looking in the washing machine compartment...we found a ziploc bag with 2 tabs in there).

Happy you enjoyed our fortress town and its people. Sorry to hear you felt as if the masterbedroom was noisy. This is news to me. As per the mattress, it is a few years old ( as is the one downstairs). Sorry you found one comfortable and one not so. With regards to toiletries, I tell my cleaning staff to put unused shampoo or conditioner in cupboard for emergencies, sometimes people arrive without conditioners and find them useful in a pinch. As you noted, I do supply bath soap, dish soap and laundry detergent but feel shampoo and conditioner are personal choices. Sorry you had to search for the dishwasher tabs in the laundry space. Happy you found them. As per barbeque tray, I imagine our last guest put the clothespin basket in the bbq tray. Moving the basket to the laundry area was no problem. Sorry that became an obstacle for you to enjoy an evening grill. Staying in a 1200 year old fortress town is a magical experience, as you well noted. I will speak with my cleaning crew about those aspects you mentioned (clothes pins, toiletries).

This was a wonderful hamlet with beautiful buildings, views, and quiet. The host, Cindy, was super helpful and very quick to respond to emails. She gave very good directions to the home and how to check in. The home was clean and comfortable for my husband and me. Highly recommend taking cooking class as well. Great location to visit many small towns and wineries.

It was so nice last year we had to come back and stay again. Just as nice as we remembered. Beautiful flat with super views and in a great central location to get around Western Tuscany and Chianti country and only an hour to West coast (the way I drive). So nice we even ate in one night rather than go to a restaurant.

Had an absolutely magical stay in this apartment. My husband and I were traveling with our daughters (19 and 17). This was truly a unique and special experience to stay in this property. It’s in a very cool medieval village with shops and restaurants. Apartment was very comfortable and clean. Owner is wonderful—make sure you do her cooking class. We made one of the best meals we’ve ever had! Hill towns and tons of wineries nearby. We stayed 4 nights and will forever remember this as a highlight of our trip!

Like living in a dream
I do not have enough words to describe how amazing our experience was with Cindy and her property in Barberino Val d'Elsa. The little hamlet of Barberino is simultaneously historic, fascinating, beautiful, and welcoming. There is nothing touristy about this place, rather it's clearly full of locals living their lives in the Tuscan countryside and they are more than happy to have visitors. As a bonus, it is perfectly located to visit towns and wineries all over Chianti. We also did a cooking class with Cindy, the owner, who is a cooking instructor, and we had the most spectacular time with her and her husband. Trips to places like Tuscany are always fun and relaxing, but the hidden gems like Barberino and connecting with people like Cindy are truly, truly rare and special. Grazie mille, Cindy, we will be back!

This flat and it's location FAR EXCEEDED our expectations and even better than the description and pictures. It was just wonderful and the views were indescribably beautiful. The little village it is located in was so nice and quiet to stay in. The location was also prefect for us as a hub as we visited several towns, villages and wineries in the Tuscan region quickly and easily. The owner was very accommodating and made the arrival process simple and easy. The shop owners and locals were extremely friendly and helpful as well.

Tuscan Getaway
This was a great spot to stay and explore Tuscany. The apartment is located in a medieval mountain hamlet in the middle of the Tuscan countryside. In the hamlet there are a number of excellent restaurants and a wine bar. The apartment was pretty much as advertised and our host Cindy was easy to communicate with. There was plenty of room for 4 adults but be forewarned that there are 3 flights of steep steps to get to the apartment and no elevator. Cindy is also a Tuscan chief and we hired her to give us a Tuscan cooking lesson that was fantastic. The food was so tasty and we had enough for 3 meals. Definitely worth the cost. Thank you Cindy for the great time.

Charming Italian village oasis
I would give Cindy and her apartment more than 5 stars! It was exactly what we hoped-- an authentic apartment in walled village that made us feel immersed in Italian culture. We walked each day to the bakery and small grocery to get bread, fruit and wine( it is sold everywhere) Cindy was an excellent host. Her cooking class was so much fun and quite educational. Cindy provided so many special touches that are often not found in rentals. The kitchen had everything one needs. The AC units work well and in the mornings we simply opened the windows for fresh breezes. Views from bedroom and patio are breathtaking. The small piazzas have lovely restaurants and small shops. It was a perfect week in Tuscany. Thank you Cindy!

Great time in Tuscany!
We very much enjoyed our stay in the apartment! It was very comfortable, and had pretty much everything we needed for a week-long stay. We didn't do much cooking, so the cooktop and cookware were fine. Once we figured out the Italian instructions on the dish- and clothes washers, we were all set. Beds and other furniture were fine. The hamlet is great -- very scenic, and with enough resources within walking distance (small and medium-sized groceries, a pharmacy, etc) that you could get what you needed without driving, but small enough that it's not a big tourist draw by itself (thus no crowds, tour buses, etc.). There are five very good restaurants and a wine bar a short distance away, and countless more by car. If you need more than what's immediately local, there are small to mid-sized towns nearby, with a full range of stores. Minor notes: you should be good with stairs, since the apartment is up two flights of stairs from the street, the second bedroom is up another flight, and there's still another flight to get to the parking lot down the hill. But, tbh, we're in our 70s, and it wasn't a big deal. Also, be aware that mosquitos in Tuscany are voracious, so take advantage of the anti-bug stuff provided. Again -- great time; would happily do it again!

Firstly, as far as cleaning, the apartment was absolutely not dirty! I have been renting for many years with 5 star ratings. I, personally went to oversee the cleaning 2 days prior to your arrival. The dishwasher does work ( I ran it the day after you left to make sure). It is not a complicated machine to work. The oven is an oven that has its years but it was absolutely clean. The dishes are derura ceramics with possibly a nick here and there.. most guests compliment me on the characteristic ceramic dishes. They were certainly not dirty! The mirrors have antique glass with some old age spots but were all cleaned perfectly before your arrival, as was the entire apt. In fact, you were the first guests to use the newly built ensuite bath. I am not sure what you feel you might obtain by this review. Especially since you told my husband how lovely the apt was when you entered and did not call him once with any complaints. And, by the way.. it is stated that the apt is on the 2nd floor. I have worked with vrbo for 18 years and am very conscientious about transparency . Having said this, I would have appreciated transparency from you at the onset and not after staying in our apartment for 6 nights and leaving without a word!

An Ideal Tuscan Hilltop Experience
If you have ever thought of living in a small hilltop town in Tuscany, you should consider Barberino Val d'Elsa. We spend a week in this wonderful apartment, located in the heart of the old walled town. The apartment has character, is well-equipped, and yes , just like the movie, has a "Room with a View" as well as terrace looks out over the Tuscan countryside. Barberino is a small town, but has several excellent restaurants, cafe/bars, and food shops within a few minutes walking distance. It is also perfect for exploring Tuscany. San Gimignano, Volterra, the Chianti, region, Sienna, and other areas of Tuscany are within easy reach by car. And, Florence and its airport are roughly an hour away, although the peace and quiet of Barberino make it seem further. Finally, there is a helpful, responsive owner ready with suggestions on things to see and do. All in all, a perfect place for a Tucsan holiday.

Lovely apartment in 13thC hamlet of Barberino
My friend and I loved our stay in Barberino in this apartment in a beautiful part of the world. The location was perfect for getting to Siena, San Gimignano, Volterra, Lucca, Pisa and Florence was a 40 minute drive. The 3 local restaurants were very good, which meant we didn’t have to drive out at night looking for somewhere to eat, and the locals were so friendly and helpful. The main disappointment for us was to do with some house keeping issues with the apartment, which we have raised with the owner, and she has said she will address for the benefit of future guests. If these issues are fixed, then I would happily recommend this apartment.

Fantastic apartment with absolutely stunning views!
We really enjoyed our time at this apartment. The views were as good as any in the whole of Tuscany. The village was very quaint and authentic with a couple of good restaurants. Quite a few steep stone stairs to climb up to the apartment, but this was no problem for us. The apartment had all mod cons including air-con and a fan. There was a very small balcony/ veranda and this too had stunning views. As the apartment was at the top of the village, the church bells were right next to the bedroom, these were lovely to hear apart from they rang from quite early in the mornings. But overall we thoroughly enjoyed our time here.

I have spent a week in this beautiful house with my wife and two daughters. I was looking for something quiet, with good views in a small village. Well, this is the house. Better than in the pictures. Beautiful and quiet (exception to the bells tolling every 30 minutes from 7 am, to remember us we are just guests in a small village with hard working people in their olive trees and vineyards) Places such as Siena or Volterra or Chianti landscapes or Val d’Orcia and its stunning natural termes. And then back to Barberino to cook dinner and enjoy the house. I’ ll keep thousand of images and feelings in my mind for a long time. You have a wonderful house, Cindy. Thank you and thanks Tuscany

Great hosts and location!
The apartment far exceeded our expectations! Our host was quick to answer questions which helped to make our vacation memorable. The apartment is exactly as pictured, meticulously clean, and well appointed. It was the perfect location to stay to see all the Tuscany region has to offer. . We felt very welcome and lucky to have found such a great place to stay.
