Holiday Home Rental Description
This exceptional luxury villa rental Tuscany experience awaits at Villa Dorata Petrognano Barberino, a magnificently restored 17th-century estate perched on a Chianti hilltop in Barberino Tavarnelle FI,. With eight elegant bedrooms, a private infinity pool, spa facilities, and a tennis court set against sweeping valley panoramas, this property delivers an unforgettable Italian escape for up to sixteen guests.

Inside Villa Dorata Petrognano Barberino
Villa Dorata Petrognano Barberino is arranged across two distinct wings, The Tower and The Farmhouse, connected by landscaped courtyards and covered loggias that create a seamless indoor-outdoor rhythm. The Tower’s ground floor welcomes you into generous reception rooms where original terracotta floors meet vaulted ceilings and restored stone archways. The first living room is an open-plan space with deep sofas and a flat-screen satellite TV, while the second living room features dramatic arched windows that flood the room with golden afternoon light and frame uninterrupted views across the valley. French doors open directly onto a shaded terrace, making this the social heart of the villa. A guest WC sits discreetly off the entrance hall.
Upstairs, beautifully appointed bedrooms combine antique Tuscan furnishings with crisp linens and modern air conditioning. Each of the eight bedrooms offers flexible king or twin configurations, ensuring comfort for every guest. En-suite bathrooms are finished in natural travertine and local ceramics, with walk-in rain showers and generous vanity areas. Several rooms feature working fireplaces that add romance during cooler months. The Farmhouse wing provides a more intimate atmosphere, with its own sitting area, kitchenette, and private terrace, making it ideal for families or couples seeking a degree of independence while still being part of the larger group. A fully equipped professional kitchen with dishwasher, double ovens, and a central island anchors the dining experience, opening onto a formal dining room that seats all sixteen guests beneath an iron chandelier.
Outdoor Spaces and Living
Step outside and the Tuscan landscape becomes your living room. The heated private pool stretches along the ridge of the hill, its infinity edge dissolving into the patchwork of olive groves and vineyards below. Surrounding the pool, stone-paved sun terraces are furnished with cushioned loungers, parasols, and day beds. A separate poolside pergola with a built-in barbecue and alfresco dining table for sixteen makes evening gatherings effortless. Beyond the pool area, manicured gardens give way to a regulation-sized tennis court, while a dedicated spa and sauna pavilion offers the ultimate wind-down after a day of exploration. Private parking for multiple vehicles sits within the gated grounds, and winding pathways through lavender borders and lemon trees invite leisurely strolls at sunset. This luxury villa rental Tuscany property captures every dimension of outdoor living, from spirited afternoon matches on the court to candlelit suppers under the stars.
