The company

The concept behind Villa Lena is to create a genuine but interesting, relaxed and fun atmosphere for everyone who visits within a context of creative exchange. With this in mind, the grounds of Villa Lena host an artist residency attended by international multi-disciplinary artists.
Villa Lena, with its uniquely picturesque setting, is set within easy access to the most celebrated cities of Tuscany. Florence and Pisa with their international airports are only a short drive away.
The estate itself sprawls over 500 hectares of woodland, olive groves and vineyards, filled with extraordinary fauna and wildlife. The heart of the property includes a heritage listed 19th century villa.
The restoration of Villa Lena commenced in 2013. Interior designer Clarisse Demory revived the living spaces by recycling and restoring some of the existing Tuscan furniture combined with vintage mid century pieces. This eclectic "neo folk" style creates a fresh and uncluttered atmosphere throughout the hotel. Guests can now enjoy accommodation speckled over several residencies, including rooms in converted stables, self-contained apartments, and private houses.
