New Sights, New Experiences
If getting outdoors under the Tuscan sun is more your style, at Villa Petriolo, guests can explore 170 hectares of organic farmland or hike 15 kilometers of trails.
If you’re looking to learn new skills, consider hunting for truffles with a local guide before learning how to cook them Tuscan-style with the guidance of a local chef.
Or join a local guide on an e-bike tour around the village of Vinci to see Leonardo da Vinci’s birthplace and favorite places from his youth. You’ll be back at Villa Petriolo in plenty of time to watch the sunset over the hills da Vinci immortalized in his paintings.
Every activity is designed to go beyond just a memorable experience. Each activity introduces you to a lifestyle of curiosity, education, and a connection to nature.
A Living, Breathing Ecosystem
Regardless of how you enjoy your time, know that my staff and I are working hard to ensure that while Villa Petriolo exudes luxury, at its core, it is about legacy. It is one of the only bio estates in Tuscany that recycles all waste and water, using state-of-the-art purification systems to sustain its ecosystem. Solar-powered heating, plastic-free initiatives, and ethical farming practices ensure that indulgence here is also responsible.
The estate’s wildlife includes bees and free-range livestock, including chickens, goats, and the historic Cinta Senese pigs. This once-endangered breed, which appears in frescoes dating from 1327, is living and thriving today at Villa Petriolo as nature intended. Their lifestyle ensures superior quality and a humane, ethical approach to farming.
Everything at Villa Petriolo is designed in harmony with nature as it was centuries ago.
Sustainability
My vision for Villa Petriolo is one of deep sustainability. Sustainability is not just in farming but in the human connection, culture, and guest experience.
While most modern businesses think in five-year plans, I believe they should plan for generations. At Villa Petriolo, every decision honors those who came before and those who will come after. And this isn’t just lip service.
The Tuscan lifestyle is rooted in practice. It is a way of living, actively embraced, woven into daily activities and rituals, and passed down through generations with intention and authenticity. You can experience that for yourself at Villa Petriolo.
