Imagine your perfect Tuscan getaway, with views for die for and outstanding hospitality in an idyllic setting just minutes from Florence. Casa Barthel and the Treehouse are all those things and much more. Chocolate croissants delivered to your door by Theresa, dinner lovingly prepared and delivered by Daniela, and a pool and tennis court to work it all off. Just perfect. Come by car, to really make the most of your time here. We flew to Pisa and it was a very straightforward 1 hr drive to get here. Siena via Radda, Castellina and wine tasting at Casalvento was a perfect day road trip. Fiesole is a 30 minute drive to the other side of Florence - stunning city views, and you can stop off at Piazza Michaelangelo on your way back if you're not all viewed-out. Back at base, there's some background road traffic hum by the Treehouse, but nothing as you walk towards the main house and gardens. Grazie mille, we'll be back.
