In the HEART
of TUSCANY –
between PISA
and FLORENCE
From the bar at Osteria San Michele to the pool bar at sunset, aperitivo at Villa Lena is one of the day’s simplest pleasures. Wines, cocktails, and a little to share, with no hurry at all.
At the heart of Villa Lena, Osteria San Michele follows the season, with produce harvested from the orto and ingredients sourced close to home. At the helm is Chef Alessandro Muzzu, whose menu brings together Tuscan heritage and a contemporary approach, evolving daily with the season and the kitchen’s creative experimentation.
From the bar at Osteria San Michele to the pool bar at sunset, aperitivo at Villa Lena is one of the day’s simplest pleasures. Wines, cocktails, and something to share – with no reason to rush.
The orto is Villa Lena’s organic garden, spread across two hectares of the estate and tended by Farmer Gigi. Fruit, vegetables and herbs are picked at their best and brought straight to the kitchen, giving the menu a close connection to the season.
Its care reflects a wider philosophy across the estate: organic and biodynamic methods, a circular approach to growing, and a deep respect for the land and its resources.
Rooted in Italian cooking and led by the season, these workshops bring together pasta made by hand and ingredients from the orto. Guided by our local chefs, guests are introduced to different pasta techniques and regional traditions passed down over time.
From pop-up dinners to private tables under the stars, Villa Lena lends itself naturally to special meals. Whether by the pool, in the hills, or somewhere more secluded, we are happy to arrange private dining and bespoke food experiences on request.
