9BR, 16-23 Guests Retreats & Family In A Beautifully Restored Farm w Spa & Pool
Convenient for big families or friends groups, seminar, yoga- and personal development retreat. We do not host weddings.
After our priced and beloved villa Casa le Pigne, (ref 607748), we have a wonderful recently (2017) restored 17th century Podere (Farm) with 4 comfortable apartments and a tiny cottage : The Podere La Valle.
The Podere la Valle offers all you have dreamed on : a large (14 m by 6m ) pool with huge solarium, a spa (jacuzzi, hammam and IR Sauna), 150ha ground and the Tuscany at your feet. We can accommodate from 16 people in beds (+3 extra beds), until 21 persons using mezzanines. The 40 sq.m. dining room with 21 + dining places, the 30 sq.m. winter garden offer the space you need. The professional kitchen is available for the guest as for an external chef that we can find for funny cooking classes and delicious Tuscan dinners.
Groups or large families renting all the Podere will use the common professional kitchen, the dining room, the winter garden. For retreats only : The 60 sq.m. yoga room "ONDA" can host yoga and mediation courses.
Or local network will take care of any needs for excursion, visit, journey in the rich Tuscany.
Every apartment has antique furniture, comfortable beds, 1 or 2 bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen with dishwasher, WiFi, open fire, and floor heating. One is fully PRM. NEW for more convenience, any bedroom is equipped with usb outlets.
The 150 hectares (370 acres) property gives opportunity for many marked walks along the aromatic plantes fields and across the forest and discovery of the Tuscan wilderness.
Your guests have access to the pool (14x6m) from mid may June to mid October September (even earlier or later if the weather allows it) and to the Spa (Jacuzzi, IR Sauna and Steam bath) all the year round. The pool is equipped with a lift for disabled person.
Podere La Valle is 40 minutes away from Florence and 30 min from Siena. The nearest village (Castellina in Chianti) is 7km far. You find there a small supermarket, groceries, wineshops, banks, ATM, and 8 restaurants. High level of comfort in the Countryside: swimming pool, spa, and lovely garden with bbq, petanque, darts and walks in the forest.

About the host
Hosted by Jérôme GLORIE
I'm Jerome, 67, I live part time in Castellina and part time in Brussels, Belgium. Education in Law and Criminology in UCL (Leuven) and Montreal, Canada.
In Tuscany I'm now a farmer : I grow aromatics herbs strictly (and certified) organic : Lavender, Everlasting (or Curry plant), Melissa, Verbena, Rosemary, Cistus and Sage. I distillate them to produce exceptional essential oils and hydrosols. My products are distributed in boutiques in Brussels.
In Brussels I have a small lab making organic cosmetics under the label "Immortelle de Toscane", where I use my essential oils and other organic ingredients to produce niche products with genuine receipts : Anti-Aging cream, Sensitive Skin balm, Hand Care balm, Body oil...
I love nature and culture, and therefore is Tuscany a perfect match.

This place will color your event or stay with an unforgettable touch.
