Leccio Apartment

A haven of peace

For those seeking intimacy, silence, and the pleasure of simple things.

A two-room apartment restored while respecting the historical nature of the place. Inside, you will find a double bedroom, a bathroom, and an equipped kitchen with a living area and fireplace. At your disposal is an outdoor patio adorned with an antique solid wood table, where you can enjoy your meals overlooking the holm oaks, the evergreen trees typical of mild climates like the one where the Podere is located. Leccio is the ideal apartment for couples seeking intimacy and inspiration.

The luxury of feeling at home

Leccio is a small refuge immersed in the tranquility of the farmhouse.

The stone walls tell the story of this place, while wood, linen, and natural materials create a simple and welcoming atmosphere.

Here, luxury is not excess.
It is the silence of the morning. It is a clean, cared-for, authentic home. It is time slowing down.

Thanks to the historical recovery work, at Podere La Gualda Vecchia you can:

  • Retreat to your dwelling to enjoy its silence and truly rest.
  • Enjoy the outdoor patio equipped with tables, chairs, and loungers;
  • Use the common outdoor spaces to be in nature;
  • Add the exclusive 3-hour wellness path to your booking;
  • Book massages, pilates lessons, or practice yoga in the yurt with our instructor present;
  • Discover the emotional garden by booking a guided tour;
  • Explore the area in search of ancient paths, churches, and breathtaking views that lead you to the sea;

Besides you, at Podere La Gualda Vecchia, there might be other guests or visitors to the Garden: the spaces are designed to ensure you have tranquility and privacy, if you wish. If, on the other hand, you want to meet the other inhabitants of the house, you will have the opportunity!

The house has everything: a well-equipped kitchen where you can also cook seasonal vegetables from the garden that you can pick yourself. And if you feel like grilling, don't hesitate to book all the necessary equipment, we'll gladly provide it!

At Podere La Gualda Vecchia, we will also be here: Bruna, Daniel, Michelle, and Thomas, with our animal friends. We or our staff will be at your complete disposal during your entire stay, but the degree of interaction will depend on you. Know that if you need anything, it will be our pleasure to help you have the experience you desire in Tuscany!

In your home, "Leccio," you will find:

  • Fine cotton sheets;
  • Everything you need for cooking, including artisanal tableware;
  • Spaces where you can store your personal belongings;
  • A comfortable queen-size sofa bed;
  • A bathroom complete with towels, toilet paper, hairdryer, candles, and an organic courtesy kit;
  • Books and board games;
  • Several garden areas furnished with everything necessary to ensure maximum relaxation.

Materials that age well

We have always chosen authentic materials.

Local stone, solid wood, natural fabrics, furnishings made by artisans.

We seek objects that carry a significant story and positive energy.

Every detail has been chosen to last over time and create environments that convey warmth, harmony, and simplicity.

Living the farmhouse

From the private patio to the Emotional Garden, everything invites you to be outdoors.

Having breakfast under the porch.
Reading a book in the shade.
Picking some aromatic herbs.
Watching the sky turn pink at sunset.

There is no set schedule.

Only the pleasure of inhabiting the place.
