What we love

  • Indoor BBQ
  • Copper fireplace

Villa San Barberino invites outdoor living: you are fabulously well set up with a poolside bar for cold drinks, or for creating a wonderful atmosphere in the evenings, sunset on cue, a little Verdi perhaps through the poolside speakers and maybe some bruschetta and a glass of Chianti in hand. By the side of the house there's a fabulous shady area with big reclining wooden chairs and coffee table. Around the front its set up for al fresco dining with table and chairs that call for long dinners and plenty of chatter deep into the balmy evenings.

Ground Floor:

Kitchen: Oozes charm, but despite its farmhouse appeal comes with the right appliances and facilities to make any cook at home. There's a drinks fridge as well as a larder fridge, a dishwasher, good quality espresso and latte machine and an antique stone sink. The cooker is large with a double oven with griddle and hotplates. It sits in the stunning fireplace opposite an antique dresser. There's an informal kitchen table for cosy meals and double doors open conveniently onto the front terrace and pergola area where guests can enjoy a glass of wine or dine watching the sun go down. 

Dining Room: An arched passageway from the kitchen leads into the dining area, double doors lead out into the shaded pergola and pizza room, then out onto the gardens and pool.The extending dining table seats up to 24 guests.

Living Room: At the back of the house and with arched doors overlooking spectacular views is the double height living room. During the day light filters through the latticework of bricks that form the upper walls. There's a stunning copper fireplace surrounded by deep comfortable sofas where guests can relax, listen to music, chat or watch something on the home cinema system. Above the living room is a mezzanine level with a half sized pool table.

Pizza Room: As the name suggests, this is the room with the wood burning pizza oven and an indoor BBQ, and stone sink. Two sides of the room have glass windows and seats overlooking the pool and views. It's an area that can be accessed from the side patios and is great for relaxed family meals in winter or summer.
