The House

The spacious main house built of native stone is an artistic blend of rich old world charm and modern comfort. Natural open beamed ceilings, terra cotta floors and cozy fireplaces grace the living areas.

Guests may enjoy the spacious and comfortable living area for reading, listening to the music or gathering with other guests.

Upstairs, the five double bedrooms, each with its own private bath, are furnished with functional and attractive wood antiques.

Natural wood shuttered windows open up to beautiful pastoral views that have changed little over the past five hundred years.

Central heat warms the rooms in the winter while in warmer months evening breezes provide a refreshing coolness sustained by the terra cotta and stone.

Traveler reviews

Fourteen years ago, I chose La Volpaia from your guide book. It was a smart move. We found it to be a magical place warm and friendly, with superb food served family style. The location is ideal; the scenery in their area is spectacular. La Volpaia is conveniently located for Florence, Siena, San Gimignano and many other day trip locations. At night, after a day of sightseeing, you return to the best place of all a refuge in the quiet countryside, dining on the terrace under the stars in the summertime. In colder early spring visits, we have gathered in front of the fireplace to read, visit, and feast on Silvia’s homemade aperitifs, accompanied by wine from their own vineyards. Andrea and Silvia have become valued friends as we have returned many times, year after year.
