The Luxury of Authenticity: Discovering La Pievuccia, a True Tuscan Treasure
In a world where luxury is often measured by marble floors and gilded finishes, there is something far richer — something that can’t be bought, bottled, or mass-produced: the luxury of authenticity.
Tucked away among the sun-drenched hills of Tuscany, surrounded by ancient olive groves and endless skies, you’ll find La Pievuccia, a lovingly restored villa that embodies this rare and beautiful kind of luxury. Here, life slows to the rhythm of the land. Every stone, every vine, every glass of wine tells a story — and it’s one you’re invited to be part of.
Owned and nurtured by Jennifer and Stephen, an American couple who traded the rush of the hospitality industry for the unhurried beauty of Italy, La Pievuccia is the fulfillment of a lifelong dream. Stephen, who hails from Ohio, and Jennifer, originally from Texas, brought their passion for heartfelt service to a different kind of stage: one of rolling vineyards, timeless traditions, and true connection to the land.
Whether you’re sipping wine crafted from grapes grown just steps from your suite, swimming under a canopy of olive trees, or lounging poolside with views of the medieval Montecchio Castle, every moment feels curated not by a corporation, but by the land itself — and by the people who have poured their hearts into it.
Guests can choose from a variety of experiences:
Wine Tastings: Savor natural wines produced without computers or shortcuts, using traditional methods passed down through generations.
Local Activities: Join in the grape or olive harvest, work with the bees, or learn about biodynamic farming practices through hands-on workshops.
Curated Stays: Choose to rent a suite for a quiet personal retreat — or rent out the entire villa for an unforgettable group experience, with optional “all-inclusive” packages that include unlimited estate wine and farm-to-table meals crafted just for you.
Tailored Itineraries: Jennifer and Stephen will curate a stay that suits your passions, whether that’s exploring hidden Tuscan villages, indulging in local gastronomy, or simply surrendering to the serenity of the countryside.
But perhaps the greatest offering is the feeling you carry home: that you weren’t just a visitor passing through — you were part of something real.
True luxury isn’t about excess. It’s about connection.
Connection to the land.
Connection to each other.
Connection to yourself.
At La Pievuccia, you won’t find scripted perfection. You’ll find something far more precious: a place where life is lived with intention, and where every sunrise over the vineyard feels like a blessing whispered just for you.
This is the kind of experience that can’t be replicated. It’s crafted slowly, honestly, and with great love — the ultimate luxury of authenticity.
