Words and pictures do not come close to capturing everything Casa barthel has to offer. If you are looking to get away and feel relaxed this is your place. The beautiful grounds and amazing views of Tuscany and Florence are breathtaking. The modern treehouse is so simple but didn't leave us wanting anything. Elena and her family are so welcoming and hospitable, we felt like part of the family. She was always quick to respond to anything we needed. We could have stayed there forever. We only wish we booked more nights there.
