Villa Le Barone

Overview

Villa Le Barone

Type: Hotel
Rating: 4 Star Superior
Location: Greve in Chianti

This Villa Barone is a delightful hotel that is located just outside the beautiful town of Panzano in the heart of Chianti. With sweeping vineyards that surround the property, a fantastic restaurant that uses entirely organic products and a wonderful swimming pool, the Villa Barone makes for a very fine choice during your stay in Chianti and an ideal base to explore Tuscany.

The property has a fascinating history and dates back to Medieval times. Initially it was built as a tower between the 2 regions of Florence and Siena, which were at one time 2 very different kingdoms at war with one another. From the Barone's position high on the hill, both valleys could be observed and so it was for centuries a very strategic place in Tuscany to be situated, and the position today is still one which offers great views.

The property was later turned into an Olive Oil and wine estate by and was later converted into a charming botique hotel by Duchess Franca Visconti, who created a 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.

In addition to a fascinating history, and a wonderful location the owners of the villa own a farm in the region of Maremma a region in Tuscany where free-grazing cattle graze and the meat used at the restaurant in addition to other local products that are served in the restaurant with fine wines from the surrounding area.

In August 2018, my family of four and myself travelled from Vancouver, BC to Rome Italy and spent 3 weeks touring Italy with IVS. This company had come highly recommended by many friends and associates of ours who had used them before and indeed to say they do an outstanding job is an understatement. You can tell while being in Italy that it is one complicated place to run tours in, just by the sh ... [Read More]

I went to high school with the owner of the company who organized my honeymoon for myself and my now wife from Tokyo. We spent three short weeks seeing Piedmont and experiencing wine paradise there, then heading to Nice in France with our private driver and flying to Rome where honestly 4 days is NOT enough. They keep saying to spend more time and we could not agree more! You need to spend more ti ... [Read More]

In September of 2018 I brought a group of 12 from Venice to Sicily and organized all of my services with the Italy Vacation Specialists.

I would like to start of by saying "THANK YOU" both for the amazing job you did on our trip. There was n ... [Read More]

I have traveled to Italy 2x with the IVS for my own pleasure trips and 2x for business with IVS. These guys really pay attention and make your trip go like clockwork. Italy is nuts, just saying! There are so many rules and restrictions now, so we did not want to drive ourselves. Having traveled with them many times and done business on several occasions, most definitely USE this company. They know ... [Read More]

As a travel agent, but also a traveler to Italy, thee is no other company I would recommend than the Italy Vacation Specialists. Not only do they really care about what they are doing, they also really know Italy and try to educate many people about ways they can best see the country and not fall into tourist traps. I have been on 4 trips with the IVS team, firstly when they did my first 2 trips f ... [Read More]

This company really knows their stuff and recommended our family to stay longer in each location. We didn't listen to them, but wished we had in every single place we went. They recommended Sestri Levante over the Cinque Terre which was our favourite destination on our entire trip. We visited Rome where we stayed in the outstanding Hotel Locorno where they know the owner there, like in every place ... [Read More]
