Villa Lena, Palaia, Italy
Villa Lena
An elegant oasis of creativity in the heart of picturesque Tuscany
Hidden among cypress-lined hills between Florence and Pisa, Villa Lena is more than just a place to stay — it’s a sanctuary for the curious, the creative, and the slow-living soul. Set across 500 hectares of wild Tuscan landscape, this 19th-century estate has been reimagined as a sustainable retreat, where olive groves meet artist studios, and golden hours drift into candlelit dinners.
Rooms and villas are scattered across the property — from the pared-back elegance of San Michele to the rustic intimacy of Renacchi, complete with its own private pool. Interiors blend Tuscan character with a laid-back, bohemian edge: terracotta tiles, handmade ceramics, and sun-washed colours that feel rooted in the land.

It was the most amazing experience of my life. I proposed here and all the staff were helping me to arrange every detail for 3 months, they were kind and very helpful. I really appreciate all the help they gave me. They were my support group. I’m in love and very grateful with villa Lena.
Based on the service I'd like to give them 5 stars. My only gripes were that the pool closed early and the bar there closed even earlier. Other than that the staff was extremely nice and accommodating. Well done!
