What you can expect

Welcome to Podere Barbarella, a hidden gem nestled in the rolling hills of San Gimignano where time slows down and nature takes over. If you are looking for a relaxed, authentic, and hands-on experience away from the crowds, you are in the right place.

San Gimignano guards an ancient treasure: PDO-certified Saffron. Known as “red gold,” this precious spice literally shaped the town's history, helping finance its iconic medieval towers. In collaboration with Acqua di San Gimignano, we invite you to discover the essence of this land through your sense of smell.

Make yourself comfortable in our cozy indoor lounge. Don't worry—you don't need to be a master perfumer to create something beautiful! This experience is completely informal, fun, and designed for everyone.

What you’ll do:

Explore the scents: Get to know the raw materials, ancient notes, and essential oils inspired by the Tuscan landscape.

Blend your perfume: Play with different notes to guide your creativity, blending emotions and memories into a unique fragrance that is exclusively yours.

Sip and relax: Take your time, chat, and enjoy the cozy atmosphere with a nice glass of local wine in our lounge.

This isn't just an experience—it’s a sensory memory of San Gimignano that you can wear every day.
