The Chianti countryside is as beloved for its astounding natural beauty as it is for its culinary gifts. The full-bodied red Chianti Classico wine is this region's celebrity, along with olive oil, pecorino sheep cheese, grains and many other fruits of the fertile land. Silver olive groves and multicolored vineyards pepper the hillsides as far as the eye can see surrounding the Villa Barberino. Guests won't want to miss the sunset over the valleys of Chiantishire while enjoying a glass of wine together on the stone terrace at the back of the villa. For the ultimate in luxury and cultural immersion, a local chef is available upon request to prepare typical meals directly at the villa, catering to guests' personal preferences and utilizing traditional recipes and the freshest local ingredients.
