La Gioiella—a dream you, too, can experience!
The house, the garden, and the surrounding area are tangible oases of peace, relaxation, and contentment.
Italy’s “Dolce Vita” and the unique treasures of Tuscany greatly enrich this retreat.
Since its purchase, the house has been lovingly renovated and furnished. It was important to the owners to preserve the charm of the house, which has evolved over the past one and a half centuries, while still adding their own personal touches.
Family heirlooms have been combined with local antiques, and each room has been deliberately designed to be unique.
The well-being of their guests is their top priority. They want guests to feel safe and at home with them.
The food is prepared with care using the finest ingredients. There will be two hearty meals and snacks in between, such as regional fruits. Tea, coffee, and juices are always available.
Since we want to experience everything with full awareness, we will refrain from using substances that impair consciousness, such as alcohol and the like.
