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.
