Convenient for big families or friends groups, seminar, yoga- and personal development retreat. We do not host weddings.

After our highly appreciated and beloved villa Casa le Pigne, (ref 607748, 100+ 5 stars reviews), we have opened since 2018 nearby a beautiful vacation opportunity: a wonderful recently (2017) restored 17th century Podere (Farm) with 4 comfortable apartments and a tiny cottage : The Podere La Valle.

Each year we improve the Podere in 2025 we installed ceiling fans in every bedroom and embellished the pool. in 2026, we installed a sparkling and still filtered water dispenser. No need to buy heavy plastic water packs :)

The Podere la Valle offers all you have dreamed on : a large (14 m by 6m ) pool with huge solarium, a spa (jacuzzi, hammam and IR Sauna), 150ha ground and the Tuscany at your feet. We can accommodate from 16 people in beds (+3 extra beds), until 21 persons using mezzanines. The 40 sq.m. dining room with 21 + dining places, the 30 sq.m. winter garden offer the space you need. The professional kitchen is available for the guest as for an external chef that we can find for funny cooking classes and delicious Tuscan dinners.

Groups or large families renting all the Podere will use the common professional kitchen, the dining room, the winter garden. For retreats only : The 60 sq.m. yoga room "ONDA" can host yoga and mediation courses.

Or local network will take care of any needs for excursion, visit, journey in the rich Tuscany.

Every apartment has antique furniture, comfortable beds, 1 or 2 bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, WiFi, open fire, and floor heating. One is fully PRM. NEW for more convenience, any bedroom is equipped with usb outlets.
The 150 hectares (370 acres) property gives opportunity for many marked walks along the aromatic plantes fields and across the forest and discovery of the Tuscan wilderness.

Your guests have access to the pool (14x6m) from mid may June to mid October September (even earlier or later if the weather allows it) and to the Spa (Jacuzzi, IR Sauna and Steam bath) all the year round. The pool is equipped with a lift for disabled person.

Podere La Valle is 40 minutes away from Florence and 30 min from Siena. The nearest village (Castellina in Chianti) is 7km far. You find there a small supermarket, groceries, wineshops, banks, ATM, and 8 restaurants. High level of comfort in the Countryside: swimming pool, spa, and lovely garden with bbq, petanque, darts and walks in the forest.

We were a group of 14 on a pilates retreat and I can say with certainty that I picked the perfect property! With hiking trails, space for daily pilates classes, jacuzzi and beautiful pool overlooking the valley we enjoyed the perfect setting for wellness in Tuscany. Plus, the food! Angiola prepared all the meals we had at the property and she is nothing short of perfect with a smile. I definitely recommend

Under The Tuscan Sun

Our stay at Podere la Valle was exceptional! The apartments are beautifully furnished and very comfortable. The location was perfect for day trips to Florence, Siena, and Cinque Terre. After a long day of sight seeing we enjoyed relaxing by the pool or at the spa. The restaurants nearby were outstanding! The local Co-op was perfect for groceries Jerome and Yasmine were very helpful throughout our stay!

Amazing stay

Podere Le Valle is the most picturesque and well thought out accommodation I have ever seen. The photos simply can not accurately express the natural beauty of the villa and surroundings. We were a group of 18 and had plenty of space to feel as though we were on our own holidays however still enough room for us to come together in the communal spaces. The spa, pool and kitchen were perfectly designed. We loved having a tour of the aromatherapy oils that are produced on site as well. Jerome was an amazing host. Highly Recommend

Perfect for our small wedding in Tuscany!

My wife and I held our wedding at Podere la Valle and it was absolutely perfect! Our 23 other guests were able to stay with us for 5 nights and enjoy everything the villa has to offer -- homey apartments, spa, infinity pool, darts, bocce ball, hiking trails, and more. We were able to find beautiful spaces for the wedding ceremony, reception, and dinner, and our caterers had access to everything they needed, including an outdoor wood-burning pizza oven! Jerome and his team have done an absolutely incredible job with the place and have already thought of everything you might need. Can't emphasize enough how amazing it was to celebrate our special day here!

Outstanding experience

Top! The structure, recently renewed, is made of 7 fully furnished apartments (6 out of 7 in same building) and one common large lounge area linked with a fully equipped professional kitchen. On top, a right sized while very nice SPA and, on demand, a large yoga room. The structure is located in a perfect while silent location 30 mins far from Siena, San Gimignano and other Chianti locations. The host has been very available and has timely while effectively managed any need! All in all, definitely recommended!!

Amazing house in amazing location.

I booked this house for a personal development retreat with a group of 12 people. The space was amazing with 5 large spacious apartments surrounding the main building, which could easily hold more than double the size of our group. The property is beautiful and well restored with a central dining area in the main house for our group to come together, in addition to a large fantastic spa and a beautiful yoga room / multifunctional large meeting space. There is wonderful nature completely surrounding the property and it is so quiet that you feel very detached from normal life :) We hired a private chef for the week (Angiola) who was lovely and very accommodating to the dietary needs of our group. The food was healthy, tasty and nothing was wasted. Overall we all had a fantastic time at this magical property and hope to return soon!

Soggiorno Fantastico

Abbiamo trascorso dal 30/12 al 04/01 le nostre vacanze affintando l'intera struttura. Eravano in 23 ,sei famiglie comodamente sistemati nei sei appartamenti del PODERE. Sin da subito l'accoglienza e la disponibilità di Yasmine ci ha reso il soggiorno unico. Poi la SPA a nostra completa disposizione giorno e notte ci ha consentito di rilassarci al rientro delle nostre visite nei dintorni. La cucina professionale completa di ogni confort ci ha permesso di condividere diverse cene tutti insieme. Abbiamo usufruito del tavolo da ping pong,campo di bocce e freccette. I bambini di tutte le età si sono divertiti e gli adulti ci siamo trovati benissimo. Vorremmo tornarci durante il periodo estivo per poter usufruire anche della piscina esterna. Abbiamo conosciuto Jerome il proprietario che ci ha fatto una sorpresa venedoci a trovare in cucina. Andremo a trovarlo nella nuova struttura quando sarà pronta. Consigliatissimo!!!

Perfekter Urlaub mit Freunden

Wir haben mit 5 Familien, davon 11 Kinder zwischen 3 und 17 eine Woche in der Podere La Valle verbracht. Es gab nichts zu kritisieren, ein perfekter Urlaub mit Freunden. Der wunderschöne Infinity Pool wurde intensiv genutzt, die hervorragend ausgestattete Gemeinschaftsküche und der Grill eigneten sich bestens zur Vorbereitung gemeinsamer Mahlzeiten, die wir auf den Terrassen der wunderschön gepflegten Anlage genossen haben. Zudem Idealer Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge nach Siena, Florenz, San Gimignano, Volterra oder eine Wanderung zur Weinprobe bei einem nahe gelegenen Weingut. Gastgeber Jerome stand bei Fragen jederzeit mit Rat und Tat zur Verfügung. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen!

50th Anniversary Celebration

Our visit was spectacular. The property is in a beautiful location, includes comfortable well designed spaces, many amenities, and is exceptionally well maintained. We were there to celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary with our family of 17, including our 3 children and their families of 5 each. It was enjoyed by all. Plenty of space to gather as a large group for meals and recreation activities or just to be alone for a while. The lounge was popular with the grandchildren to play games. The large infinity pool was likely the most enjoyable feature for everyone to relax or have fun. The entire villa was available to us, which allowed each individual family to have a separated apartment for down time, sleeping and preparing smaller meals. We couldn't have selected a better site nor a better host. Having Jerome on site, when needed, was greatly appreciated. He was also a great resource for becoming acquainted with the area. As one of our children said, the villa made the whole experience magical!

Wonderful vacation

We were a group of 25 friends and stayed for 9 days at 'Castellina in Chianti'. Everything was just perfect! The accommodations were beautiful, several houses with lovely bedrooms. The grounds are just stunning, with flowers everywhere, a beautiful infinity pool, a indoor spa for rainy days, several hiking paths leading around the property and a seperate yoga space! Jérôme was very franky and helpful with any kind of question or concern f.e. finding a chef to arrange a beautiful dinner on the grounds of the Villa. We would love to stay there again another time.

Heaven on Earth

I'm really not sure where to begin; to put it simply, I didn't want to leave, ever. I would have been quite happy taking up residency, eating Angela's delicious food and walking the properties trails forever. We were a group of 12 women who stayed on the property for 6 days before leaving to run in the Florence half marathon. There was more than enough space for everyone. We did daily yoga in the yoga room and Jerome provided everything you could possibly need; mats, blocks, blankets. We did many of the hikes and the paths were well marked. We even spent one morning foraging for herbs and wild asparagus. We took full advantage of the spa and all it had to offer. I highly recommend using Angela to cook your meals. Everyone agreed that her lasagna was the best meal of our entire trip. I am keeping my fingers crossed that she will create a cookbook that I can purchase. Jerome could not have been more responsive or helpful. I look forward to coming back in the near future with another group. The property is truly heaven on earth.
