In the Tuscan countryside near Val d’Orcia, Podere La Paolina brings together farm life, hospitality and traditional cuisine.
Podere La Paolina is a working farm of 22 acres, where crops rotate throughout the year—from sunflowers to winter wheat, barley and alfalfa used to feed grass-fed cattle. The farm produces its own extra-virgin olive oil, which enriches the dishes served in our Tuscan restaurant.
Our farm stay and restaurant, opened in 2017, were created by a family passionate about country life. Everyone contributes to daily activities with dedication and a warm sense of hospitality. We share our knowledge of the land with guests, offering an authentic Tuscan experience near Val d’Orcia.
Inès manages the farm and leads guided tours. James, our Chef, designs the menu inspired by traditional Tuscan cuisine. Fabrizio handles social media and marketing, Nicolas is our barman, William is training to become a chef, and Carlotta creates the floral arrangements and supervises the dining room.
