EXPERIENCE

Barbialla Nuova is the perfect place to disconnect from the daily routine and take a break following Nature's rhythms. At the same time, we offer several experiences that can make your stay unique and memorable. For those who wish to join us for any of these activities, we recommend booking them in advance (just write us an email). Some of these experiences are only available during specific periods, many others depend on the availability of the teacher, which could not be granted.  

HIKING

Barbialla Nuova farm is one of the few private places in the area that has its own marked hiking network that stretches for over 20 km. For serious hikers, it is possible to start from the farm and move on onto the hiking trails outside the property.

In a backpack, carrier, or on their own little feet, the kids enjoy walking in the woods. On our map you will find a description and difficulty of every single hiking trail and choose the most appropriate one for your kids.  

TRUFFLE HUNT

During the fall (from October to early December) our woods are perfumed with white truffle. Our guests, as well as anyone interested in this activity, can join our tartufaio and his dogs in search of the elusive S. Miniato white truffle.

FISHING

Our pond is one of the most charming and quiet places of the property. It is stocked with mirror carps and largemouth bass. Bring your own gear if you'd like to have a fun time and try your luck fishing. #relax #experience

BIKING

The farm develops over a hilly area with three ridges, and to enjoy its beauty by bike it is quite a challenge, fit for bike - and adventure - lovers. We're always happy to help our guests pick the best gear for the task from our bike-rental partner in Montaione. They can deliver bikes directly at the farm. #discover #explore #adventure 

WEDDINGS AND EVENTS

If you think that our farm is the good place for your wedding or for any other celebration let us know and we will do our best to make it happen!

OUT OF BARBIALLA

Barbialla Nuova is a perfect starting point for day trips to art cities or medieval towns surrounding the farm. At the check-in we provide a booklet with many ideas to scout the area and make sure you don't miss experiencing the surroundings. You can also find an extract of our little guide here. #explore

WITH CHILDREN

We found out (although we suspected that) that Barbialla Nuova is a natural amusement park for kids. Playing with dirt, rocks, leaves, climbing trees, walking in the woods are all unforgettable moments for our little ones, who get to experience nature first-hand. However, even for them we selected a few experiences inside Barbialla Nuova that can contribute to make their trip unforgettable. 

VISIT THE ANIMALS

The farm hosts many animals (both domestic and wild). Our little guests are welcome to give fresh grass to the cows & chickens, bring fruit and veggies to the pigs and spend sometime living the farm everyday's life. 

PING PONG AND MORE 

In the common area at the house of Brentina our guests will find a ping pong table, for the little ones as well as for the grown-ups! In most of the common areas you will find bocce balls, while at the reception desk you can ask for a set of Koop (the Viking's game)

PET THE CATS

Six cats fluff up Barbialla Nuova. They're extremely social, and used to be pet by kids and grown-ups alike. 

DRAW THE ANIMALS

Every year we created a little art gallery for kids. Our little guests are invited to bring us a drawing depicting the animals of Barbialla Nuova and we hang these masterpieces in a special place.  

AT THE SWIMMING POOL

In the hottest months, the swimming pools are THE place for all the young ones staying at the farm

BABYSITTING AND NANNY SERVICE

Sometime parents need their own space. We collaborate with some English speaking women who will be happy to baby sit your kids while you are enjoying a dinner out or spending the evening in the thermal baths.
