Facilities

In the mood for a relaxing Tuscany villa and pool experience? Three outdoor pools are available to all guests at Villa Lena, including a children’s pool. The main pool is located next to our San Michele building and restaurant and has extraordinary vistas across the Tuscan landscape, as well as shaded seating around the poolside bar. Joining us for the cooler spring and autumn months? Don’t despair—the San Michele pool is heated! 

A 10-minute walk from San Michele is a secluded pool in the garden of the Renacchi building, with sun loungers, a playground, and a grassy lawn for the little ones. Guests staying at Casetta Bella also have the benefit of their own private swimming pool.

The hotel reception on the ground floor of Fattoria is a quiet space with a spacious lounge area that showcases Villa Lena’s ambitious social and cultural objectives. It features an original fireplace and limited edition prints made by previous Villa Lena Foundation artists in residence in collaboration with a master etching studio in Florence, Il Bisonte. You will also find unique artworks from the Villa Lena Foundation collection and important pieces of Italian design such as the Tahiti Lamp by Ettore Sottsass, from the seminal days of the Memphis group. There is also a small shop showcasing artistic collaborations, alongside Villa Lena products including olive oil and wine.

Osteria San Michele is the ultimate destination for traditional Tuscan cuisine with a contemporary flourish. Open for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and aperitivo, our farm-to-table kitchen centers around local, seasonal produce, harvested at peak quality from our organic vegetable garden and embellished simply by our chefs. Join us for our famous breakfast buffet prepared by our in-house pastry chef, homemade pasta with veggies from our garden, and other culinary delights—all served in our artwork-filled restaurant with breathtaking countryside views.

Our home cinema—used for film screenings, artists’ talks, and other events—is also available for guests’ free use. Select a DVD from our collection of foreign films and lose track of time as it plays through our state-of-the-art Bose surround sound system. Next to the screening room is our library, the perfect place to relax with a book, play the piano, or catch a live music performance.

There’s no such thing as boredom at Villa Lena. Little ones are welcome anywhere on our estate, but they’ll be especially happy in the library at Fattoria. There we have coloring and drawing materials, as well as children’s books and art publications featuring former artists in residence. When it’s time to get active, splash around in our children’s pool and play with our selection of water toys, inflatable armbands, and other equipment, then refuel with treats from our poolside kids’ menu. More energy left? The Renacchi playground has swings, a slide, and plenty of playground activities for children. Finally, most of our creative workshops are kid-friendly, and we’re happy to adapt any activities for your children’s interests.

Green energy is a priority at Villa Lena, and we’re proud to offer electric car charging on site. Reduce your carbon footprint and travel to us in your electric vehicle stress-free.
