La Valle Tuscany — Historic Private Estate Villa in Chianti, Near Florence
La Valle Tuscany is a private Chianti estate where heritage, landscape, and comfort come together with effortless grace. Set on 10 acres of olive terraces and soft rolling hills, the estate offers the rare combination of deep rural quiet and easy proximity to Florence. Its origins trace back to 1537, when the villa served as a casa collonica with small guard tower overlooking the valley and nearby Castello Mugnana. The sense of history remains in every stone.
A Restored 16th-Century Villa Colonica La Valle has been restored with a gentle hand. Original stone walls, timber beams, limewash finishes, and historic proportions have been preserved, while refined touches elevate the experience: antique French armoires, chandeliers softened by age, curated fabrics, and contemporary comforts that never disturb the villa’s vernacular charm. The result is a home that feels authentic, elegant, and deeply Tuscan.
Two Villas for Effortless Group Living The estate includes a Main Villa and a separate Guest House, together offering 5 bedrooms—ideal for families, couples traveling together, and multi-generational groups.
The Main Villa features 3 ensuite bedrooms, multiple living spaces, a family room with a wood-burning fireplace, and a beautifully equipped kitchen.
Steps away, the Guest House provides 2 additional bedrooms, its own kitchenette, a fireplace, and a private patio overlooking the olive groves. The layout allows guests to be together, yet retreat to quiet corners whenever they wish.
Panoramic Outdoor Living La Valle’s outdoor spaces are where Tuscan life unfolds. A private salt-water pool sits suspended above the valley with views toward 2 medieval castles. Multiple terraces—each capturing a different light and perspective—invite slow breakfasts, aperitivo hours, or dinners beneath the grapevine-covered pergola. A wood-fired pizza oven, barbecue, and an organic vegetable garden bring farm-to-table simplicity into everyday rituals.
Nature at Your Doorstep Right outside the estate’s gates, guests step directly onto untouched countryside. Ancient footpaths, cypress-lined trails, a centuries-old Roman road, and a hidden waterfall with a swimming hole are all reachable on foot in minutes. Cyclists love the surrounding SP66 and Chianti Classico roads, while walkers enjoy sunrise views that change throughout the day.
Refined Tuscan Living Beyond the villa’s quiet and beauty, guests may choose from privately arranged experiences: • Chef-prepared dinners and cooking classes • Wine tastings with Chianti Classico producers • In-villa massages • Curated artisanal visits and local journeys The service is discreet and personal, designed to make the estate feel like your own home in Tuscany.
A Place to Belong, Even Briefly Just 12 miles from Florence, yet fully immersed in countryside stillness, La Valle Tuscany offers an intimate, elegant, and deeply rooted experience of Chianti. It is a place to reconnect—with nature, with one another, and with a slower way of living that Tuscany has perfected over centuries.
La Valle is not simply a villa. It is a private Luxury Tuscan estate in its most timeless form.

About the host
Hosted by Jody Turkus
We have had a long, long love affair with Italy. It was a dream realized when we bought La Valle in 2004 and restored it. We always say that our possessions are loaned to us and we are only the caretakers for a period of time. This holds true for La Valle as it is over 500 years old and has seen many lifetimes in its history. Our visitors have remarked about the incredible energy of La Valle and we felt that energy when we found the property after having seen over 100 properties In our search. We love sharing La Valle with others as the home comes alive when it is enjoyed by guests who make beautiful memories during their stay. We keep a guest book and it is wonderful to read the stories that our guests write after staying here.
Why they chose this property
We chose Le Valle because of the absolutely magical setting, its history and the 'great bones' of the structure. Located just 20 km from Florence we are in the country yet have the advantages of Florence less than 30 minutes away. Additionally, we appreciated the hundreds of miles of hiking trails right outside our front door. We never have to get in the car to hike to a wonderful restaurant, to see a waterfall or to pick wild berries and flowers.
What makes this property unique
Waking up to the sound of birds singing and the silence of the countryside. We look at beautiful vistas from every room of the house. The air is clean and the setting dreamy. Our local village of Strada in Chianti is close by so we can choose the best produce and local specialties from our merchants. We are one of only two American family, as far as we know in Strada, and the locals are very welcoming to us. We have over 300 olive trees and every Fall we harvest our olives and press our own delicious oil.
