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​.

Villa Lena

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.
