We knew Casa Barthel was going to be great (the pictures we very accurate of what to expect), but you just can’t prepare for just how spectacular the views are! Absolutely breathtaking 😍. We stayed here on our first couple nights of our honeymoon, and it was the perfect start to our Italy adventure!
We loved sipping wine outside and watching the sunset, and just walking the beautiful grounds. Elena was incredibly helpful, and when we were getting a SIM card set up and experienced a few hiccups, she was more than happy to call a taxi for us when we wanted to go into Florence city center.
Definitely consider getting a picnic as well. We had a lunch picnic waiting for us when we arrived, and not only was the food delicious, we had so much we were set for lunch and a snack for the next day as well! Which we loved since we just wanted to relax and enjoy the beautiful landscape. We highly recommend staying at one of Elena’s properties!
