We just returned from our Spring Break Family Trip to Italy. With the help of the travel agent and my wife, the Villa Le Barone became the launch pad for our 5 night stay in Tuscany. The grounds, the staff and even the other guests could not have been friendlier to our family of 5 (Ages 16,14,10). The grounds we... more

Villa La Barone is a beautifully restored Palazzo, strategically located on a quiet hilltop in the heart of Tuscany. It is run by descendants of the original Marchese who have perfectly preserved her former country residence in all its beauty, while adding extensive modern essentials to this beautiful estate. The nights are absolutely silent and you awake to bird song... more

Two painter friends and I first came across this property through Karen Brown travel books. We had been painting our way through Tuscany and Umbria and ended up at Villa le Barone at the end of the tour. It was instant "love at first sight". I don't think we left the property for 3 days as there were vistas in... more

Excellent hotel. We throughly enjoyed our stay at this top notch hotel. The staff was very accommodating. The restaurant was excellent. I cannot wait to go back. more

The only negative points are: air-conditioning should be renewed and caefully choose your room in advance. We had a large room, but with only... more

My husband and I stayed at the villa le Barone for just i night. We had left a hotel in Gaiole in Chianti earlier than planned because we did not like our room there, and phoned le barone for a last minute booking. We have stayed there many times before over the last 15 years and always find it to... more

We'd planned our tour ourselves. Our first stop was Florence. Then we would spend a week in the heart of Tuscany. Using a book about Tuscany by Karen Brown we came upon the Villa Le Barone. It was an hour's drive south of Florence so access was easy enough off of SR 222. The stay would include a room with... more
