I stayed a week in Doderi Ovest, located by an olive grove at the top of a hill. Lovely views out across the countryside and down into the woods. I could happlily have stayed all week within a few yards of my front door. Apartment was simple, but had very comfortable furniture and a good range of kitchen equipment. Farm... More

My wife and I spent a wonderful week in Doderi Ovest at the end of September. The accommodations were fabulous, clean and exactly what we expected. We enjoyed being in such a quiet location (no TV!!!) while being close enough to the major sights that we could easily spend some time amongst the tourist hordes and then retreat to the... More

We stayed in Brentina Ovile, which has two bedrooms, although we were only two. We got it at a slightly reduced rate as we only used one room, but we were very happy to have the other room to stock our stuff - and our increasing stock of Tuscan wine. The living room (and kitchen in the same space) was... More

Terrible apartment! The apartment was not cleaned at all. There was coffee in cooker hood and everything else was not cleaned. As excuse the said that we were to early so that is was not possible to check the apartment. We send an email a few weeks prior to our arrival in which we explained that we would come at... More

Our family, two adults and two young children were fortunate to spend 7 nights at Barbialla Nuova in one of the Doderi apartments. Although we had to do the tourist sights (San Gimignano, Siena, Volterra, etc) we would have happily stayed at the farm, enjoying the walks, nature and being with each other without the interruptions of modern life. I... More

Having seen so many paintings and photos of Tuscany we had high expectations of the beauty to be found there and the reality far exceeded the pictures. Our four night stay at Barbialla was the highlight of our visit to Europe and UK. We found the location perfect for day trips to the nearby tourist attractions, Lucca, Pisa, San Gimignano... More

This was a beautiful and unique way to enjoy the Tuscan countryside, staying at Barbialla Nuova! I booked here after reading about it in "Slow Italy" as I wanted to find a place that was quiet and in nature, yet close enough to a few places I intended to see while in the area (including an exquisite concert of Andrea...

I stayed at Fattoria Barbialla Nuova from 10 to 14 July 2010 (I had originally booked it until the 17th, but found it unbearable yo stay, and left earlier) with my husband and three children of 7, 5 and 3 and had a horrible experience. We were expecting a solitary but adventurous place in the middle of the gorgeous Tuscan... More

We have just had the most fabulous wedding celebration at Fattoria Barbialla! This was our third trip there and every time we have had a fabulous stay. So much so that we decided to have our wedding reception on the farm. We hired all 3 farmhouses for a weekend so our friends & family could share the experience and they... More
