We had a fantastic time in the tree house at casaBARTHEL!!! Not only was it an amazing experience to wake up in a tree house overlooking Florence, but we also felt like we were a part of their family! My husband and I stayed for two nights on our honeymoon and were sad to leave our new friends and the gorgeous compound. We ate fresh tomatoes, grapes, and plums from the property as well as the delicious olive oil made there. The town Galluzo is very close by where you can go to the supermarket etc. I would recommend coming by car since the very windy road to town filled with fast Italian drivers could be deadly trying to walk! We used taxis and received rides from our hosts (which was so kind of them!) and it worked out just fine. The tree house was so clean and everything worked beautifully despite being in the trees! You can even cook! We learned how to make Italian coffee and shared wonderful dinners with our hosts. We made memories here that will last us a lifetime! We would go back in a heartbeat and would certainly recommend it to friends and family!
