Some holidays are about escape. At Le Pianore we felt more like we were being invited into a whole way of life. Its a life where food, family, slowing down and switching off are at the heart of everything. We were there for an extended family gathering (15 of us) so it was perfect to have so much space for everyone to do their own thing, then come together for great al fresco feasts and fun in the swimming pool. We picked fresh vegetables from the farm and learnt how to cook proper pizzas in the wood fired pizza oven. Elena, Erica and Francesco could not have been more welcoming, helpful or infectiously passionate about their home and the surrounding areas.

Absolute heaven
I have been going to Le Pianore for 16 years, first with my family as they grew up and now on Ladan's annual yoga retreat which is firmly in the diary every summer solstice! Elena and her wonderful husband, son and daughter run the farm in way that makes everything feel natural and effortless (as well as beautiful and delicious). It is utterly peaceful and 'balm for the soul' as my friend always says when we go. The position of the house is fabulous with valley views all around; the rooms are rustic and charming; the food is incredible. And of course Elena and her brother make all the wine, plus the olive oil, honey, mulberries (right outside the house), herbs, tisanes etc etc. Too, too wonderful not to go every year! Thank you Elena!

Le Pianore a truly magical place you will want to go back again and again
I met Elena the owner of Le Pianore in London and right from the start I was struck by her warm and rich personality. I have eagerly organised my first yoga group for a yoga retreat at Le Pianore three years ago and since then I have not missed a year. As soon as you step in on Le Pianore grounds you experience a deep feeling of calm and tranquillity. The views are absolutely stunning and the villas with the grounds have everything you need for a relaxing holiday. The large yoga studio is a beautiful open space equipped with everything you need for a yoga retreat of dance or meditation holiday etc.
You can choose to stay during the day at the villa or go for a trip, in any case Elena and her family will give you lots of advice on what to see and do around the area.
Elena has been extremely helpful to assist me with running the retreat smoothly and she personally connects with each guest making sure they are happy to such extend that they will even cook your favourite dish. Besides the amazing guests I arrived with my husband and 18 months toddler who also came with us last year when he was 5 months. They always has been amazingly helpful with providing everything our son needs (cot, high seat, special meals) and beyond that. My husband who is a very fussy eater has been getting special meals too and I have not even asked for it. That is the attention to detail you will have at Le Pianore.
Food and wine is delicious and the majority grown in the family's farm down the hill. We had a generous tour of Elena 's house and farm this year and it is inspiring and humbling to see the love and dedication gone into everything around it: amazing garden, vineyard, olive grove and of course her two donkeys and two horses. All the produce is organically grown and the whole estate 90% electricity self sufficient. The highlights of the holiday this year must be: Enrika's deserts especially panna cotta, the birds singing in the night, the deer who came close to the house one evening, the two elusive white horses, the two ducks on the blue lagoon like lake and of course the two lovely donkeys whose touch of ears is like meditations. Please ask for info on the Alpaca farm. We had an absolutely amazing time there. Despite the growing family I plan to make it possible and return to Le Pianore next year and look forward to see Elena, Enrika, Rina and all the team.

Le Pianore - a magical place to recharge and revitalise in the heart of Tuscany
Le Pianore is a really magical place located in one of the most beautiful places you can imagine, set in the middle of the hills of Tuscany, the ideal place for a retreat and to recharge your batteries from the hustle and bustle of modern life. This is the second year that I have been there. I loved it the first year nd enjoyed it even more the second year.
The owner, Elena Basile, has to be one of the most remarkable women I have ever met – she had a dream to create this wonderful place in Tuscany and continues to further develop it to make it one of the very best places that I have ever been to. That is due to her passion for Le Pianore and her vision to continually make it the perfect place for a holiday and a yoga retreat, which was my reason for going there.
From the minute you arrive, you feel that everything is tailored to ensure that you have a wonderful stay – the registration document right at the start asks you ’what food would you really like to eat?’
The rooms are all unique – warm and comfortable with individual charm and everything you need to help you relax – and if you need it, there is also wifi! You are woken up in the morning with birdsong and breath-taking views. The food is amazing – most of it from ingredients grown in Elena’s organic kitchen garden which she manages with her son and expertly cooked by her daughter Enrica, who is a brilliant cook and the queen of desserts.
My two trips to Le Pianore were for a yoga retreat – you cannot imagine a more beautiful place with a spacious and well equipped yoga studio. I arrived exhausted from the hustle and bustle of life in London but with 1 ½ hours of Yoga in the morning followed by a delicious brunch and then again 1 ½ hours of yoga again in the evening followed by dinner, I left feeling completely rejuvenated and revitalised.
Le Pianore is not only ideal for yoga – it is also a perfect location to visit Tuscany and Elena and Enrica gave us lots of tips of where to go within either 30 minutes or an hour’s drive. On days when we did not want to venture out, there is plenty to do just relaxing by the pool or taking a walk up to the next village.
If you are looking to recharge your batteries in a beautiful location, Le Pianore is the place to go – either join a yoga group or just rent out the place with a bunch of friends – you will come back all the better for having visited Le Pianore and spent a week in the company of Elena and her family.

A magic place and and a very friendly welcome
Le Pianore is a truly magic place! You will find yourself in the most amazing nature and welcomed by Elena with warmth and generosity. My time there was really special, the landscape around the villa invites you to relaxing and refreshing walks, the accomodation is beautiful in every detail, food and wine are just superb. Elena and her family are impeccable hosts and wonderful people, I can't reccomend enough a stay in this corner of paradise. Ideal for a romantic holiday as well as for a group of friends.

perfect beauty
I have been vacationing and working in Italy for two decades and only recently found Le Pianore. It was enough to be stunned by the beauty of the region, and then of this small part of the region, but once I arrived, I began to experience the services and amenities this agriturismo provides and I was overwhelmed. Elena and her staff seemed to know what me and my partner needed before we did. We were greeted warmly and swiftly brought to our room to rest and collect ourselves. When we re-emerged we were greeted again by the Pugliese chef's magnificent baked goods. After a late breakfast outdoors with a view from above of the sprawling estate, we took a walk down the long path lined with soaring cypresses, past the vineyards, to a wooded area where there were horses. We walked on a path through the cool woods, followed it up the hill and gathered flowers along the way, and found our way back to the main lodgings. We met some of the staff collecting berries in a net under a tree--berries that later the chef made into a breakfast tart. Our day was lazy and peaceful. We swam in the pool, explored the property more, read outside in the shade, and ate fantastic meals -- even the simplest of dishes were carefully prepared and flavorful. Some of the best Pugliese and Tuscan cooking I've had, and an interesting mix of the two, at times. The farm's wine is delicious and plentiful as well.
Elena is also a sincere and generous person. We got to know her during our stay (although she seemed to know exactly when we wanted to keep to ourselves) and learned she has a great sense of humor. She also has a very interesting family history.
This was my third time here and it won't be my last. It's very easy to grow attached.

Magic place on earth
I can truly recommend this beautiful place. A perfect place for healing and mindful days. We had a great time and Elena and her family took great care of us. Beside yoga every morning and afternoon in the beautiful yoga shala, we had a bonfire under the full moon, walks ,talks and great dinners with organic well cooked food. All made with love & passion from the Italien cuisine. I will comeback next year. I just have to! Its like honey for my soul.

Heaven on earth!
I have enjoyed two magical weeks at Le Pianore last year and this summer and look forward to returning next year. It is just gorgeous. The property itself is beautiful, the setting and views just stunning, the food delicious.... Elena and her lovely family are the most wonderful hosts who taught me what true hospitality is. Le Pianore is located in an incredibly tranquil setting but within reach of Siena and some more unspoiled delights of southern Tuscany. I cannot inagine a better venue for a quiet week or two en famille with family and friends or to celebrate a special occasion. Enjoy!

Harley Davidson 110th Anniversary Vacation
Let me start with "My best vacation/business trip ever"! Two years ago Harley Davidson announced that it would hold one of its big birthday celebrations in Rome; they invited 150,000 riders and promised a blessing by the Pope. As the Vice President of Pacific HD in Hawaii, I decided that I was up to the Italian HD Challenge. Living on the beach in Hawaii, you can imagine, it takes alot in the way of a travel destination to get me excited...Rome filled the bill. Add to that my 3 college aged kids backpacking through Europe for 3 weeks leading up to my arrival " LAST GIFT from Mom and Dad" , well lets just say, we needed the right place, the perfect place, to craft this perfect potentially last family memory. Le Pianore not only provided the perfect destination, It exceded our every expectation: Picturesque rolling hills of Tuscany, Incredible sunsets, waterwalls, natural springs, castles, horses, food, the pool and of course the WINE!! The location provided the perfect hub for day visits to Florence, Rome, Pisa and the Coast. Remember to bring a Harley because it is some of the best riding terrian, I've ever experienced. Last but not least, In fact, the absolute best part of our trip was Lovely Elena & her Son Filippo, they treated my family like their own, they shared the secrets of there magical property and surrounding area's. Frankly, made us all feel the Italian ALOHA, 10,000 miles from home. My whole family now considers them friends and we hope to have them visit us in Hawaii. In Hawaii we also have Ferarri, Lamborghini and Maserati dealerships, I can hardly wait for a meeting in Modena, as it is only 3 hours north of Le Pianore, maybe 2 hours in a Ferarri. ARRIVEDERCI

Amazing, relaxing Tuscany countryside home!
This place is just amazing. The scenery is breathtaking. I just lounged for hours on the hammock and soaked in the hills filled with olive trees and grape vines. The owners are also just a delight. They are EXTREMELY friendly and accommodating. They make you feel part of the family. And of course, the food, wine and olive oil is just exquisite. Not to mention they have a variety of other natural made products such as HONEY!!! that they make on-site and you can get there.
I can't wait to go back there!!! It was truly an amazing experience that I won't forget.

Superb wedding venue, beautiful spot, fantastic hospitality.
I held my Tuscan wedding here, and it was everything we could have asked for. We had the villa full of guests from all over the world for the best part of a week, and everything worked to perfection. Elena, Filippo, Serge, Rina the amazing chef and all their helpers worked tirelessly to put together a flawless event that we will never forget. We could not have dreamed up a more perfect location for our wedding.

The experience of a lifetime
My wife and I like to travel to new places when we go abroad, but that will change after our stay at Le Pianore. We spent two weeks there and have had no experience that could equal it. Elena and her family embody hospitality and graciousness. If you want to explore Tuscany, have a quiet getaway with beautiful scenery, or a bit of both, you must stay here.

Words cannot express...
The experience we had at Elena's villa was beyond my wildest dreams!! There is no better way to celebrate a 40th birthday...the villa, the landscape, the food, and the love...amazing! Elena, her son and their team think of everything...down to the smallest touches like the flower petals on our bed on the night of my party. And what a party they threw!!!! One of many delicious and fresh meals made by Rina (which included gluten free selections for some of us!), the flowers and decorations, the dancing and laughter, and the most incredible personal fireworks show ever!!! We can't get back there soon enough. Next time, the kids will join us too. We are eternally grateful to Elena, Fillipo and everyone who touched our lives in a way we will cherish forever. Thank you for giving us the trip of a lifetime! Amanda

Just what I'd dreamed of, only better!
We left the Campostefani property a week ago and miss it as if we'd spent our lives there! It is a beautiful, beautiful place made more special by the helpfulness and friendship of the owner and her son. The property is perfect as a place to stay and de-stress from a busy life yet it also serves as a good base from which to experience other areas of Tuscany----car required for that (and for getting groceries). I It fulfilled my dream of living, if only for a week, in Tuscany. The Villa is beautiful, as well as comfortable and practical. I hope I can return some time soon.

Outstanding vacation rental, beautiful scenery and most accomodating host!
Our stay at Le Pianore was the highlight of our trip to Italy with friends last year. Elena and her staff made us feel most welcome! They helped us design our day trips including the most wonderful places to eat! We chose the smaller of the two villas which was perfectly outfitted for all our needs. Our party included 5 adults and 3 children. However, this house easily sleeps a dozen! We loved, loved, loved everything about the property and home. Everyone had the most enjoyable time! Elena is a fantastic host--she goes above and beyond to make certain her guests are fully accommodated. We highly recommend Elena's home (either of the two on the extensive property) for your vacation. You will not be disappointed!

Fantastic experience
This is a very unique place, located at the bottom of a valley, very secluded and quiet, yet not far from the main road Le Pianore is one of those places which you can never forget once you have spend some time there. The location is just plain magic, the ancient structure is beautifully and tastefully redone. Last but not least, the owner, Elena and her staff are just delightful and warm.
I have been going to Le Pianore for the past few years, every year with a group of 16 from Southern Maryland and never had anything but great experiences.
