Our concept

At Podere La Paolina, in the heart of Tuscany between Val d’Orcia and Valdichiana, every visit is an immersive experience of nature, taste, and culture. The estate, surrounded by olive groves, woods, and farmland, produces its own extra virgin olive oil and selects fresh, seasonal ingredients from the best local producers. The restaurant offers research-driven cuisine inspired by traditional Tuscan flavors: dishes like Peposo alla Fornacina, pici with ragù, Chianina Fiorentina steak, and iconic desserts, enhanced by seasonal ingredients and truffles carefully harvested from the estate’s woods without damaging the roots. The extensive, curated wine cellar offers Tuscan wines for tastings that tell the story of the territory.

Guests can stay in elegant, comfortable rooms set in the Tuscan landscape and take part in exclusive experiences such as cooking classes, truffle hunting with the estate dog, horseback excursions, guided wine cellar tastings, and Vintage Tours in collaboration with classic vehicles such as Fiat 500, Vespas, and Lambrettes, exploring the region’s villages and hills in style. Thanks to partnerships with local producers, every stay and meal tell a story of sustainability, authenticity, and passion for the land. At Podere La Paolina, cuisine, relaxation, and experiences blend to offer a complete immersion in the most authentic Tuscany, with unforgettable flavors, scents, and landscapes.
