About Us

Combining creatively designed rooms and amenities, a farm-to-table restaurant, and a not-for-profit art foundation, Villa Lena is far more than just a place to stay in rural Tuscany. Each season, the Villa Lena Art Foundation hosts a group of international creatives, whose more than 1,000 original works now hang on our walls. Guests are always welcome to visit their studios or join their workshops in painting, ceramics, and more, and their sunset artists’ aperitivo is open to all. Inspired by the Renaissance, this welcoming environment of creative exchange is, in our eyes, the most genuine way to experience Tuscany’s rich artistic heritage first-hand. And if you’re inspired by our region’s food, wine, and nature? Our events calendar is constantly packed with cooking classes, wine tastings, and outdoor foraging experiences. Make pasta with our chefs, learn about sustainable farming at our organic vegetable garden, or go truffle hunting in our peaceful woodlands—there is something for everyone at Villa Lena.

At Villa Lena, we serve organic Tuscan cuisine with an updated approach and “slow food” ethos. Our 0-kilometer menu is always seasonal, responding to what we grow in our organic vegetable garden and forage on site. Nodding to honest Tuscan cooking traditions while looking toward the future, our chefs serve house-made pastas, freshly grown vegetables, and locally sourced wines, making the most of the natural larder at our fingertips in the rolling hills of rural Tuscany.
