Description The Princess of Chianti: Barbischio

This enchanting home in the Chianti region of Tuscany is set on a tiny hamlet near Gaiole and dates back to the 14th century. Offering picturesque views of Chianti woodland and vineyards, dare we say, it feels like somewhere straight out of a fairytale. Spread over three floors, all with uninterrupted views, the home reveals a blend of traditional and modern designs, creating an authentically Italian countryside vibe wherever you are in the villa. Fitness buffs can stay active at the home gym, yet with views like these, you'll likely spend much of your time outside in the garden. Here, a private swimming pool overlooks the valley, alongside an alfresco dining area and plenty of places to sunbathe.
