La Pagliera di Badia a Passignano
Tavarnelle Val di Pesa - Florence and Chianti
The abbey is just a 15-minute walk from the villa and features a stunning Last Supper fresco by Domenico Ghirlandaio. Nearby, guests will find excellent restaurants such as Di Vino, which serves traditional dishes with views over the vineyards, or the Michelin-starred Osteria di Passignano. A small grocery store is located in the nearby village of Sambuca, and all major amenities can be found in Tavarnelle Val di Pesa, a ten-minute drive away. Florence, Siena and San Gimignano can each be reached in under 45 minutes.
The villa is a single-storey stone house that has been beautifully restored. Inside, exposed stone walls, wooden beamed ceilings and large windows create a bright and elegant atmosphere. The minimalist interior offers both comfort and character. Outside, there is a small dining terrace in front of the house and a second shaded terrace by the pool. Guests are also welcome to pick herbs and vegetables from the lovely garden.
La Pagliera is the perfect place for couples seeking peace, beauty and culture in one of Tuscany’s most iconic landscapes.

We had a wonderful time at Tommaso's beautiful home. The location was absolutely beautiful, peaceful, quiet and so relaxing - the perfect place to come back to after day trips around the area with Siena, Sam Gimignano and many more lovely villages within easy driving distance. The property itself was spotlessly clean and well-equipped and the gardens and pool were stunning. Previous reviews have mentioned the air conditioning costs, but we found these to be incredibly reasonable and Tommaso kept us informed on usage throughout our stay so we could adjust if needed. This villa was our favourite place we stayed in Tuscany and we would not hesitate to recommend to friends and family visiting the area.

Even though the property is peaceful and secluded there are fabulous restaurants within walking distance - we had wonderful meals at Divino on the terrace overlooking the vineyard and a very special meal at Osteria di Passignano. The fact we could eat so well and walk back on the road (with torches!) looking up at the dark night sky was so special.
