Our Handpicked Retreats

Where Tuscan history, nature, and family tradition embrace you

Camporsevoli

Camporsevoli is a place suspended between centuries. Tucked high on the ridge where the Val di Chiana meets the Val d’Orcia, it is not simply a destination but a living hamlet where history has never been interrupted. Ancient stones rest beside wild rosemary, and cypress trees planted generations ago still line the paths today.

Here, the same family has preserved the village with grace and discretion, offering something far more valuable than comfort. They offer continuity. When you enter Camporsevoli, you step into a world where life unfolds quietly and beautifully.

As part of Dreaming Tuscany, you are invited to stay in restored homes that whisper of other times. You may rest beneath timber beams, share wine at the stone table at La Rotonda, or plan your morning adventures over a book and an aperitivo at the Corner. This is a place where time slows, where conversations matter, and where even silence feels like part of the story.

A life shaped by earth, harvest, and light

Le Macchie Alte

There is a place in the southern hills where Tuscany reveals its raw and tender heart. Le Macchie Alte is a vast organic farm where nothing is artificial and everything has meaning. Grains are milled where they are grown. Animals are raised with dignity. Meals are prepared with ingredients that have names and stories.

Surrounded by oak trees, olive groves, and ancient fields, the farm’s stone dwellings offer views that change with the hour. You might wander through golden meadows, rest by the pool in silence, or share long dinners outdoors beneath a sky untouched by city lights.

As a Dreaming Tuscany guest, you are invited into the rhythm of the land. You can walk trails carved by generations, take part in olive harvests, or simply sit and watch the horizon move.

Your personal window on the villages of the Amiata, Maremma, and Val d’Orcia

Convento San Bartolomeo

In the heart of Tuscany, among the silence of the woods and the majesty of Monte Amiata, the Convent San Bartolomeo is a refuge of peace and authenticity.

An ancient Franciscan residence dating back to the 13th century, today it is a historic house welcoming groups, travelers, and modern pilgrims with the same spirit of hospitality that once animated the friars. Here, every stay becomes an experience: a dive into beauty, history, and a soothing silence. It is not just a place to visit, but a place to live slowly.

The rebirth of the Convent: the vision of the Ricci Barbini family

After a long period of abandonment, the Convent was rediscovered and restored to its original splendor by the Ricci Barbini family. Driven by their love for the region and a deep respect for history, they transformed these ancient walls into a place for the soul. Every restoration has been guided by sensitivity and care, preserving authenticity without giving up comfort. Today, the Convent is a gem of hospitality on Monte Amiata.

A life shaped by earth, harvest, and light

Castello di Valenzano

In the heart of Casentino, where forests meet history, Castello di Valenzano stands as a silent witness to centuries of change. Once a Lombard watchtower on the ancient salt route, it became a noble estate and later a thriving farm and fortress—its walls echo stories carved in Tuscan stone.

Framed by hills, oak woods, and cypress-lined paths, the castle opens onto courtyards, cloisters, and secret gardens. Guests stroll past Romanesque chapels, dine under vaulted ceilings, and sleep in suites where kings and poets once dreamed.
As a Dreaming Tuscany guest, you’ll walk through time. Taste organic wine, explore the old olive press, or simply lose yourself in the silence of the valley and the scent of rosemary in bloom.
Country homes embraced by olive trees, vineyards, and peace

Da Venerio

Da Venerio was born from devotion. Here, between the gentle hills of Monte Amiata, a father and son chose to give new life to the land they loved. With care and patience, they restored ancient farmhouses where people could come to breathe deeply, reconnect with nature, and rediscover stillness.

Each residence is distinct. Some open onto wide green landscapes and quiet terraces. Others are hidden among olive groves or beside shaded pools. Everywhere, there is a feeling of privacy, of balance, of space created just for you.

Nothing here is hurried. With Dreaming Tuscany, you become part of the rhythm of the land. Walk through wild gardens in the early light. Listen to cicadas as the afternoon fades. End your days with wine and laughter in places that feel untouched by time.

Where the spirit of Val d’Orcia meets rustic charm and warm hospitality

Where warm waters and Tuscan hospitality embrace the soul

Le Cascatelle

In the heart of the Tuscan Maremma, just a short walk from the ancient Terme di Saturnia and the Cascate del Mulino, Le Cascatelle offers a retreat where nature and well-being flow together. The landscape here is authentic and pure, shaped by rolling hills, vineyards, and olive groves, while the spirit of family hospitality creates an atmosphere of intimacy and care.

The rooms and apartments, designed in rustic Tuscan style, combine comfort and tradition, welcoming guests with the elegance of handcrafted details. Each morning begins with the scent of homemade cakes, local jams, and genuine flavors that bring the countryside to your table.

Outside, the gardens open onto the quiet of the land, and in the warmer months a thermal stream crosses the property, offering the rare privilege of bathing in warm waters surrounded by silence and beauty. It is a moment of renewal, a memory to carry with you.

From medieval villages to Etruscan paths, from vineyards to the embrace of the hot springs, this is where Tuscany reveals its healing spirit.

Where Tuscan elegance meets rural warmth

Palazzetta Fanti Agriturismo

Hidden among the hills of Tuscany, Palazzetta Fanti is a place where refined elegance and pastoral charm come together. Tucked into a landscape of olive groves and gentle valleys, this agriturismo offers a calm refuge for those looking for beauty, authenticity and a slower pace of life.

Each room and common space blends classic Tuscan details with modern comfort. Warm stone, exposed beams, soft linens and artisanal touches create an atmosphere that feels both intimate and timeless.

An ancient villa where time still lingers

Villa Giusterna

Nestled in the still unspoiled Val d’Ambra, Villa Giusterna is a treasure of the late 1700s, lovingly preserved across centuries. Its walls tell of noble origins, its courtyards open onto vast green spaces, and its park of centuries-old trees creates a sanctuary of silence and peace.

From here, Tuscany’s wonders stretch in every direction — Siena and Arezzo nearby, the Val d’Orcia with its timeless landscapes, and villages rich in art and history such as San Gimignano, Volterra, and Pienza. Yet within the villa, time seems suspended, inviting guests to slow down and reconnect with the essence of Tuscan living.

Every stone, every beam, and every window carries the dignity of heritage, while offering the comfort of a home shaped for rest and reflection. Villa Giusterna is more than a residence — it is an encounter with the continuity of beauty across centuries.

A Tuscan haven among hills and silence

Inside, the villa opens to warm interiors shaped for both intimacy and conviviality.

Our Dreaming Club Membership

Not every couple seeks the ordinary. Some are drawn to something deeper, not just to travel but to transformation. For those who believe that luxury is not defined by excess but by emotion, intimacy, and access to the extraordinary, Dreaming Tuscany exists to fulfill a desire few can name but instantly recognize when they feel it.

It begins quietly. A welcome prepared in advance, not by chance but by intention. A vineyard path with no signs, only the sound of gravel beneath your steps. A table set for two in a courtyard filled with the scent of rosemary and aged wine. The sense that this is not a trip, but a return to something that has been waiting for you.

As the days unfold, you realize you are not a guest but part of a living story. You are invited into places that do not open for strangers, guided by people who share more than knowledge. They share passion, memory, and a way of life rooted in grace. Each experience becomes a moment you never knew you needed until it happened. Each evening closes with a sense of awe that something so beautiful was real.
