casaBARTHEL is a perfect place for a vacation and an artist residency, immersed in the Tuscan landscape only 15' from the florentine Duomo.
Come and live with us; enjoy the olive trees, the kitchen garden, our horse Astro and our family life style, away from the working rhythm. By providing wifi only in the communal courtyard we suggest to take a break from been connected with elsewhere and enjoy the 'here and now' . But if you need to work you can rent a portable private connection from us.
The space
Two of our main passions are antique objects and contemporary art. We like to ‘hunt’ them down, but more than anything else we can’t stop collecting them!
Each of the casaBARTHEL houses has one of our favorite collections.
The CINEMAhouse, displays our collection of movie posters, including a large vintage Blues Brother original locandina!
On the top floor the house offers a master bedroom with a queen size bed.
On the first floor has a kitchen with washing machine and dishwasher, a dining/ living room with a queen size sofa bed and a bathroom with shower.
Outside the living room main door a private outdoor dining space is open to the Tuscan landscape and the sun set.
Guest access
The rent includes the use of the communal wifi in the communal courtyard; swimming pool (open mid June-mid September)and the tennis court; the dining porch with the BBQ and the wooden oven; table tennis and football table, plus a car parking inside the property.
