In the Heart of Tuscany

Podere La Paolina is set on a hill within a protected nature reserve, surrounded by olive groves and woodland.

Our accommodations offer a peaceful and beautiful setting, with a timeless atmosphere, a relaxing retreat where the landscape, light and scents of the countryside enrich every moment of your stay.

The garden surrounding La Paolina is an elegant country oasis, carefully maintained in a natural style, where nature is showcased. Among aromatic herbs, centuries-old olive trees and wildflowers, every corner invites you to slow down and savor life’s simple moments.

Whether relaxing in the shade or strolling at sunset, the senses gently awaken, the nightingale’s melodic song, the falcon’s swift flight, the distant call of the owl. It’s not uncommon to spot deer moving gracefully through the trees at dusk.

Here nature is experienced. Along quiet trails and under skies traced by light wings, La Paolina is a small paradise for birdwatchers, peace-seekers, and food lovers alike.

We do our best to share the true flavors of Tuscan tradition in a warm, family-run and refined setting.
