Fodor's Expert Review Villa Le Barone

Once the home of the Viviani della Robbia family, this 16th-century villa in a grove of ancient cypress trees retains many aspects of a private country dwelling, complete with homey guest quarters. The honor bar allows you to enjoy an aperitivo (Italian happy hour) on the terrace while admiring the views, of which there are many. Guest rooms have white-plaster walls, timber ceilings, and some tile floors. The restaurant uses fresh produce from the owner's farm in western Tuscany.
