A gorgeous stone villa in the traditional Tuscan style, Podere Lorena is an impossibly charming property located down a quiet lane in a lush and scenic area of the Tuscan countryside, 14km (9 miles) from the town of Monteriggioni and only 14km (9 miles) from the renowned medieval city of Siena. Sleeping up to 12 guests comfortably in six bedrooms with six bathrooms, this well-maintained and typically Tuscan gem is ideal for those who want to plan a true escape among the famous rolling green hills and winding roads of this picturesque part of the world but who still want the iconic attractions of the region at their fingertips. Gather a group of pals and/or the extended family and come indulge in a slice of la dolce vita.
Within day-trip distance of San Gimignano, another of Tuscany’s famously beautiful historic towns, the renowned Chianti wine region and wine towns like Montalcino, and the hub of art and culture that is Florence, Podere Lorena offers the peace and quiet required to get away from it all but is also a perfect base for exploring the wider region – the best of both worlds!
The lush surroundings and gardens at the villa mean that you’ll likely want to spend as much time as is possible outdoors, making the most of it. Throughout the leafy and shady grounds there are various spots to dine al fresco and lounge, enjoying the views, sipping on a drink, and catching up with your travel companions. A large outdoor dining area located inside a porch to the side of the villa features a long table that can seat all twelve potential guests comfortably and is decorated with lights, plants, and old farming tools, creating a pretty space to dine more formally al fresco as well. The fenced-off private swimming pool and hot tub that are located in the garden further add to guests’ experience of rest and relaxation at this villa in Tuscany – making you want to spend your entire vacation out in this magical garden!
Of course, the charming and typical interiors of the spacious villa are equally appealing and welcoming. Expect high ceilings with lovely wooden beams, some exposed stone walls, brick arches, terracotta floors, a big old fireplace in the open-plan living space, and other charming traditional touches. This living space offers guests a sitting area with couches and armchairs as well as a piano, a working desk area with a computer, and two dining tables located up a few steps that enable all potential guests to dine together indoors as well as outdoors. In the separate, well-equipped kitchen there is everything you could need including a fridge-freezer, microwave, stove top, oven, toaster, coffee machine, and plenty of counter space.
In this room you can also avail of two special services offered by the owners upon request and at an additional fee. The first of these is an indulgent treat for foodies who really want to make the most of their time in Tuscany: a professional chef service that will see a chef come to you and prepare and serve you a meal in your vacation rental in Tuscany using local produce, to your tastes and dietary needs, and pairing wine accordingly. For those who want a seamless arrival, meanwhile, you can avail of the pre-stocked fridge option, filling your fridge and pantry with what you need and some local flavours, as well. As the owners live nearby, you will have them available, should you need assistance, throughout your stay. However, rest assured that you privacy will always be respected!
In addition to the living spaces, there are also three double bedrooms with en suite bathrooms on the ground floor and three more double en suite bedrooms on the first floor. Each of these bedrooms is decorated in a charming Tuscan style and offers guests a relaxing and plush space in which to unwind and rest.
With just one full week still free to book for summer 2025 (August 22nd to 29th), be sure to snap up your stay at Podere Lorena before someone else beats you to it! Or, if you’re planning a big group trip for 2026, now is a great time to secure your stay for a dream holiday in Tuscany with some of your favourite people in the world.
