Hotel Review
Nestled amidst the Tuscan hills, Villa Lena offers a unique blend of artistic flair and serene luxury.
From the family-friendly Renacchi Apartments, praised for their rustic yet luxurious decor and dedicated pool, to the vibrant San Michele rooms, where art meets architecture, every space promises a distinct experience. The Fattoria rooms, restored from old stables, offer a chic minimalist style that contrasts with the more ornate, art-filled spaces of the main villa.
Culinary delights abound in the on-site restaurant, Osteria San Michele, where guests indulge in dishes crafted from fresh garden produce. The restaurant itself serves as a hub of creativity and conversation, often buzzing with artists and travellers alike, creating an atmosphere that's both inspiring and delightfully Italian.
For those looking to unwind, the vibrant pool area is a perfect spot, with its easy access to the bar known for crafting superb afternoon Aperols. The artistic vibe of the hotel is enriched by the ongoing artists’ residency program, adding a dynamic cultural layer to the stay.

A hotel-meets-art-foundation set high up in the hills of Tuscany, with a 19th-century patrician villa at its core. Different artists take up residency each month alongside the guests, offering workshops and ultimately leaving behind a piece for the hotel, meaning it’s an ever-changing gallery.
