Meticulously renovated by skilled craftsmen, Casa Alina is a terracotta laden restored 12th century villa that was originally a sacristy, once owned by the Vatican. The warm welcoming magazine- worthy interiors, in natural shades, convey the original spirit of the region.

Unwind completely with modernity, sophistication and comfort as we have perfectly blended Tuscan traditions and everyday luxury to create a place where you will feel like home, away from home.

The most striking thing about Casa Alina is definitely the countryside in which it is located: perched on a hilltop, our villa is part of a medieval village that overlooks breathtaking scenery. The views vineyards, olive groves and cypress tree dotted hills are mesmerizing in all seasons and make our piece of Tuscany the perfect place for a relaxing, in an authentic and memorable Italian villa experience.

About the host

Hosted by Alina Pucci

Host profile image
Kimberly and Alessio Pucci are the owners of Casa Alina, a five star villa in a restored hamlet that they purchased after living in the heart of Renaissance Florence for more than a decade. The couple was looking for a quiet place in the unspoiled Tuscan countryside to raise a family that was within a short drive to Florence. Kimberly, an American, studied in Florence and then began her career in the Italian jewelry business as a buyer on the Ponte Vecchio. Alessio, a Tuscan native, earned his Phd. at the University of Pisa in Structural Engineering and Architecture. Casa Alina is named after the couple's first child, Alina, who was born in Florence in 2004. They have since moved to Rhode Island where Kimberly owns a luxury goods business. Alessio is a partner at Paul Weber, an architectural firm in Newport. The couple enjoys spending time with Alina (14) and Niccolo (9) and their Golden Retriever puppy, Frankie. Casa Alina has become their retreat from their hectic lives in the US! They have been welcoming guests for more than 15 years.

Why they chose this property

Rolling hills dotted with cypress trees, walks in the vineyards, our olive groves...a great location with fabulous wine and amazing food! Need we say more?

What makes this property unique

Cooking with Benedetta is truly a unique culinary experience. Each course begins with a focus on quality, fresh and local products. The participants select from a menu of choices prior to their stay. The focus is on exploring true Pucci family recipes that can easily be prepared when you arrive home. The lesson is taught in the privacy of the villa and prices include both wine, water and aprons. Lessons vary from Regional Tuscan Experiences to Homemade Pasta making and Desserts to family friendly lessons. 65-100 Euro pp.

Let Nonna Laura prepare an authentic, flavorful farm-to-table four-course meal for you. Laura will spoil you with her seasonal menus based on local ingredients from her organic farm and markets as well as the local bounty. Taste what true Tuscan cuisine is. Sun ripen tomatoes, homemade pesto, locally hunted porcini mushrooms and homemade pasta as well as fresh caught Wild Boar, Hare and Pheasant. And if you haven’t tried the Florentine steak, you must ask her to throw one on the grill for you. Her simple desserts made with fresh cream, eggs and fruits are amazing and if you have never had Tiramisu, then save room! 55-95 Euro pp, including wine

Toscana By Bike is a small e-Bike tor shop in Montespertoli that we highly recommend. Massimo is a super guide and will tour you through the vineyards and groves and off the neaten path on these fun two wheeled cycles. The tour ends with wine tasting and lunch in a castle and a tour of the antique wine cellars. This will be a highlight of your trip.
