welcome to la valle

A Private Tuscan Retreat in the Heart of Chianti

Tucked into the hills between Florence and Siena, La Valle is a restored villa colonica dating back to 1537 — with original features that trace even further to the 13th century. Set on a private hillside estate with olive trees, vineyards, and views of nearby castles, the property combines historical charm with modern comforts. It’s an ideal setting for family gatherings, holidays with friends, or peaceful retreats surrounded by nature.

BOOK YOUR STAY

THE VILLA FEATURES

Inside, centuries-old beams and stone walls hold the warmth of Tuscan tradition, reimagined for modern comfort. En-suite bedrooms, a welcoming kitchen, and quiet living spaces create a sense of ease, where every detail feels both thoughtful and timeless.

“Tucked into the folds of the Chianti hills, La Valle feels less like a destination — and more like a secret kept by the land.”

Guest Accolades

“I’ve been planning for this dream vacation for over 10 years, and I’m beyond thrilled to have chosen this magical place for it. The photos do not do the beauty of this villa justice, it far exceeded any and all expectations. The host was phenomenal, helping us plan for the best possible vacation, and the property managers, Tracey and Danele, were truly the ones that made this trip so special. Close to incredible restaurants, towns, and amazing Tuscan countryside, I cannot recommend this place enough.”

Jenna B.

“My family of four adults and two young children stayed 3 weeks in June. The grounds of the property are magical; gardens and views everywhere you look. The inside was cozy and had all the amenities needed. Santi and Luli took extremely good care of us and acted as concierges, cooks (extra service) and friends. We loved our stay and will come again. Thank you Jody, Barry, Santi and Luli.”

Jessica P.

“We had the most wonderful time at the villa. Very easy to get to Florence and the grounds are truly lovely. Santi and Luli are now our friends and Fabrizio the chef is magnificent. Our kids loved the pool, picking vegetables and fruit and running all around. The kitchen is great and easy to use, and their guides make your stay fun to plan. I can’t imagine why we wouldn’t be back! Thank you so much.”

Dewey B.

“This is a perfect Villa for your vacation. It is stunningly beautiful in a great location for easy day trips throughout Tuscany. We were a group ranging from 8 to 80 and everyone enjoyed their stay. The welcome dinner with Fabrizio was excellent. The beds and furnishings were very comfortable. Having Netflix made it easy for the kids to wind down after a day of touring while the adults sat outside with a bottle of wine and took in the view. Everyone loved the pool.”

Tim A.

“La Valle is the most amazing property with a fantastic, perfectly appointed home with the kindest, most caring and gracious caregivers, Tracy and Daniele. There aren’t enough adjectives to describe it all. The location of the estate is great. The property itself is breathtaking and immaculately kept and cared for. We spent every afternoon enjoying the beautiful pool and sat on the patio for dinner and drinks on multiple evenings. The sweeping Tuscan views look like something out of a postcard, and the house is spacious and gorgeously decorated.”

Katharine S.

“Le Valle is nothing short of magical. You feel the familiar comfort of being at home while at the same time being pampered and cared for by the wonderful hosts, Lucia and Santiago. The view, the villa, the grounds, the pool(!), and the vibe were second to none and surpassed all our dreams. The best meals we had during our 2 week European adventure were created by Fabrizio. He is not only a world class chef, but a world class human being.”

Kate W.

“Everything about this beautiful property was perfect for our group of family and friends. The villa and guest house are appointed for comfort and enjoyment. We rotated among the four outdoor eating locations, enjoying the views of olive groves, the Tuscan hills, and the sun setting behind the nearby castle. Caretakers Santiago and Lucia ensured that we were well taken care of throughout our week and we loved our welcome dinner and pizza making class with chef Fabrizio. The location allowed for easy trips into Florence and the surrounding countryside.”

Amelia K.

“My family and I had a truly special experience at La Valle. The house is beautiful and provided an ideal ‘home base’ for all and the guest cottage was perfect for my cousin and her family. The pool and gardens are gorgeous. We spent two weeks at the property, with many side trips to the charming villages and markets nearby. The house is in an ideal location for action-packed day trips to Sienna, Florence, wineries, etc. The hosts are extraordinarily generous with information about things nearby to do and see.”

Sarah D.

“This property is nothing short of breathtaking. From the moment you pull up to this majestic place with its regal gateway, you are instantly transported to a Tuscan dream! The house is impeccably kept and perfectly located near all the best wineries and restaurants. Waking up to a coffee overlooking the hills, hiking the scenic grounds, or sitting near the pool with a glass of wine—these are experiences you’ll never forget! I would stay at this property over and over again, and strongly recommend it to anyone who wants an authentic and memorable Tuscan experience.”

Ann J.

“We spent a week long vacation with extended family at Le Valle. We were greeted by Peter and Magi, who immediately made us feel at home. The property is absolutely amazing, no detail is overlooked, and everything is maintained to the highest standards. The grounds are manicured to perfection and the saltwater pool is great. The villa is very modern and comfortable all while preserving the character and charm of Tuscany. It is conveniently and centrally located for exploring Tuscany. We rented a car and went on day trips/wine tours every day.”
