Palazzone Lavanda, Sovicille - Siena and Chianti

Perched within a 40-acre estate of rolling hills and oak forests, Palazzone Lavanda is a historic 12th-century castle once part of Siena’s outer defenses. Carefully restored, the villa combines heritage charm with modern comfort, offering guests an unforgettable Tuscan experience.

The estate is a working organic farm producing olive oil, lavender, honey, and seasonal vegetables, all available to guests. Nature lovers can spot deer, wild boar, nightingales, and owls, while walkers and cyclists can explore trails that start right from the villa. The nearby River Merse offers idyllic spots for wild swimming, and for wine lovers, tastings can be arranged at the neighboring winery and cooking classes onsite. 

Despite its tranquil setting, the villa is only 400 metres from the road and five minutes from Sovicille village with shops, cafés, and a restaurant. Siena, San Gimignano, and Florence are all easily accessible for unforgettable day trips.

Guests can unwind with a game of table tennis and dine beneath a shaded pergola or in the central courtyard, ideal for al fresco meals, with even a pizza oven on site. A private heated pool, featuring a shallow section for children, is set amid medieval terraces, rolling fields, and woodland.

Inside, colourful interiors with terracotta floors, beamed ceilings, and stylish furnishings create a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

Ideal for families, friends, or history enthusiasts, Palazzone Lavanda offers privacy, character, and convenience in the heart of Tuscany, promising an authentic and memorable escape.
