All are differently decorated, with modern tiled bathrooms. Rooms are in the main Villa or in renovated cottages and barns. Dinner, based on typical Tuscan recipes, is served in the restaurant, which formerly housed the winery, or on the terrace weather permitting. Wonderful little secluded hideaways are found in the parklike setting where guests can find a quiet nook to read or just to sit and soak in the beauty of the surroundings hills. There is a lovely swimming pool, romantically set on a rose garden terrace looking over the vineyards and a tennis court with a beautiful view on the Chianti hills. Villa le Barone is also an ideal base to explore some of Tuscany's most beautiful cities, as well as the surrounding Chianti wineries. Magnificent hiking and biking possibilities are available around the Villa. There is a 18 holes golf course in the vicinity Le Barone was once the home of the famous Tuscan family, Della Robbia, whose beautiful predominantly white and blue terracottas are still seen throughout Italy. It was restored into a de small charm hotel by a descendant of the family, Duchessa Franca Visconti. Today, her heir, Count Corso Aloisi de Larderel and his wife, are the owners. They come frequently to the Villa to greet guests and to ensure that the impeccable standards and taste prevail.
Villa Le Barone was built as a tower in the middle ages and was the seat of a Baronetcy, hence the name "Le Barone". During the Renaissance, the tower was torn down and converted into a Villa, surrounded by its agricultural estate, where the Della Robbia owners were spending summer.
After the First World War, Marchesa Maria Bianca Viviani Della Robbia managed Villa le Barone as a wine and olive oil estate. Maria Bianca was the granddaughter of François de Larderel, a French 18th century industrialist, who discovered and developed the use of geothermal vapors in Tuscany.
Marie Bianca's daughter, Duchess Franca Visconti, converted the Villa into a charm boutique hotel, keeping the refined and elegant atmosphere of a private house, while offering all the modern necessary comfort. It is now the property of Duchess Franca Visconti's heirs, whom you will certainly be able to meet in Le Barone.
