Torretta Barbischio, Gaiole in Chianti - Siena i Chianti

Stunning villa with pool and beautiful views. Perfect for birthday celebrations with family. All kept spotlessly clean by Eva and Paulo(pool). Kitchen well equipped for making leisurely lunches and suppers. Plenty of restaurants nearby too. It is a tower house so lots of stairs but that kept us exercised, the younger adults enjoyed the gym and poolside games. Plenty of shady areas in the house to relax in as well although we mostly lived outdoors.

Osteria il Papavero behind house worth visiting food delicious and staff lovely. Pizzas from pizza it Ciamparini Corrado made great takeaway, also ate at la Gorgia, both in Gaioli. Small but adequate coop easy to get to. Radda definitely worth visiting, had great lunch there. Stunning hill towns all a short drive and Sienna less than an hours drive. Cycles were hired in Gaioli and 40-50km circuits done and enjoyed by the lads.

Lovely location with fantastic views. My family loved staying in a quiet location.
The villa was fully equipped and plenty of space for a family of 5.

Loved visiting the local vineyards and local villages including Gaiole , Lecci and RaddA. Also visited Sienna, San Gimignano , Castello di Brolio and Castello Di Meleto which was our favourite. Loved the local restaurant in Barbischio Osteria Il Papavero. We had a fantastic dinner at Malborghetto restaurant in Lecchi.

We had an unforgettable stay in Tuscany, this was partly due the most amazing Torretta Barbischio. A wonderful home with stunning views across the Tuscan hills. Well equipped a fantastic welcome with the promise of help anytime if we needed it. I can honestly say we and our friends had an incredible experience on our stay. Would definitely recommend this place and if we were in the area again would choose to book it again.

II Papavero the restaurant in the village was perfect wonderful food and excellent service and a 1 minute walk from the villa

We had a wonderful stay at Torretta Barbischio. The villa is fantastic, the bedrooms are large all with en-suites and there is excellent air conditioning in the bedrooms (the sleep mode was very useful), the kitchen is well equipped and the outside space is perfect. The pool is large in comparison to most villas with great sun loungers.
Our interactions with the key holder were easy and Gabriele was very helpful, pleasant and provided us with a basket of food when we arrived which was a lovely touch.
The villa is in a small village on a steep hill, so a car is needed. You can walk into Gaiole but it is a steady climb back up the hill.

The restaurant in the village is literally 2 minutes from the front door of the villa and the food was fantastic. Large portions, so be careful how much you order! The staff were super helpful and friendly. We took the opportunity to visit a couple of vineyards, kindly recommended to us through the To Tuscany sight. We had lunch with a tour at one and a sunset tour and dinner at another. Both within easy driving distance and both were great, with exceptional food and wine. The local town is lovely, there are a few shops, restaurants and bars to browse as well as a butchers and grocers. There is a little Coop in the town, but if you have a car, go to the Lidl in Arezzo (30 mins away) as the choice is much larger and it is cheaper.

We were lucky to spend 5 weeks in this amazing villa in such a peaceful and beautiful location. Amazing views, swallows at sunset, cuckoos in the morning and owls at night. We were well looked after by Eva the cleaner, the villa has everything you require for your stay and is extremely well equipped. Location is high up at the end of a valley so a good 30 min walk down windy road to Gaiole and 35min back up! In May pool was very "refreshing" but great when acclimatised. To Tuscany very helpful before departure and even helped organise a birthday cake to be delivered on my 60th Birthday!.
This is truly a fantastic place to stay, we would highly recommend!

Wine tasting with Fabio at Casanova de Bricciano, 20 min walk up gravel road from villa is a must, 30euro/person, booking needed, wine served with local snacks, yum. 30 meters from the villa is Osteria il Papavero good local food and friendly team. Tuscany Bicycle in Gaiole very good selection of bikes to hire and many cycle options, MTB, gravel road. Big COOP in Montevarchi is best supermarket 30min drive. Small Deli in gaiole for bread, Finoccio Sausage and cheese.
