A Hideaways home in Tuscany
Discover Podere Le Sensaie
Nestled in the rolling hills of the Tuscan countryside, overlooking the medieval village of Lajatico, Podere Le Sensaie is a beautifully restored stone farmhouse that embodies the essence of rural la dolce vita.
With its golden façade, earthy interiors and sweeping views across vineyards and olive groves, this home strikes the balance of seclusion and discovery.
Set amidst countryside, a stay at Podere Le Sensaie invites you to embrace the slower pace of Tuscany - where sun-drenched days unfold among cypress-lined paths, crumbling costellos, and historic hilltop towns.
The home
The house itself exudes rustic charm, blending traditional architecture with understated luxury. Think exposed beams, warm terracotta tones and elegant yet comfortable living spaces that open out onto panoramic terraces. You can read more about its interior design and the inspiration behind it, here.
Whether enjoying a leisurely lunch beneath the gazebo, wandering through the olive groves or cooling off in the pool, every corner of the property is designed for relaxed indoor-outdoor living.
The area
Just a short walk away lies the charming village of Lajatico, famously the hometown of Andrea Bocelli. Here, you can visit the Teatro del Silenzio - a striking open-air amphitheatre set among the hills, where the renowned tenor performs once each summer.
Beyond the village, Tuscany's most iconic destinations await. From the Renaissance splendour of Florence to the historic streets of Siena, the leaning tower of Pisa and the towers of San Gimignano, each offers a rich tapestry of art, history and gastronomy.
Whether exploring bustling piazzas, discovering artisan boutiques or indulging in long, leisurely meals paired with local wines, Podere Le Sensaie provides the perfect base from which to experience the very best of this timeless region.
‘Authentic Tuscan living at its finest’
"We stayed at Podere Le Sensaie, part of The Hideaways Club that we are members of, and it truly captured everything we love about Tuscany. The setting is incredibly peaceful, with beautiful views across the countryside, yet it's perfectly located for exploring nearby towns and villages. We spent our days discovering the region and our evenings enjoying the villa's outdoor spaces with a glass of local wine - it's a place that feels both special and wonderfully relaxing."
