Il Podere di Toscana

Tuscany, Italy

From the moment
you arrive,
you forget the
world exists.

A private Tuscan villa for the moments you want to remember. Intimate weddings, family weeks, and women's retreats — shaped around food, beauty, and time together.

A private Tuscan villa — open to those who want something real. Intimate weddings. Family stays. Women's retreats.
Lived-in beauty, real food, slow days, meaningful gatherings.

The House

Not a venue.
Our home.
Open to you.

Il Podere di Toscana has been in our family for years. The garden is the work of a lifetime — shaped by the same hands that have designed landscapes across the world, and always rooted here, in these Tuscan hills. Christmases, birthdays, long Sunday lunches that nobody wanted to end. This house knows what it means to hold people together.

We travel a lot. And this is the place we come back to — where the noise stops, where time slows down, where things that matter start to feel clear again. That is what we want for every person who walks through the gate.

Where we are

Tuscany

Pistoia, Tuscany, Italy 30 minutes from Florence

Not a tourist hotspot. A real Tuscan city — beautiful, quiet, proud of its market, its food, its gardens. Close enough to Florence to visit, far enough to forget it exists.

Our guests always say the same thing when they leave — "why doesn't anyone talk about this place?" We don't mind. We like it this way.

Why Il Podere exists

"We travel a lot. We work a lot. And the Podere is the place where we stop — where we breathe, where everything slows down. We want that for the people who come here too."

This house was not built to be a business. It was built by a family, lived in by a family, and it still feels like one. When you come here you are not a customer. You are someone we have opened our home to. That is a different thing entirely.
