Villa Petriolo
Rustic Tuscan elegance meets serious sustainability credentials. Terracotta floors, exposed beams, four-poster beds, and 17th-century frescoes sit alongside a top-tier holistic spa and a Michelin-starred kitchen. Feels more like a working farm that happens to be a luxury hotel than a resort that's gone organic for the brochure.
Request a suite in the main historic villa for the 17th-century frescoes and traditional Tuscan feel — the wellness wing suites are more modern and contemporary in style.
Why It Matters
One of the most genuinely sustainable luxury properties in Italy. First agritourism in Europe with ISO 21401 certification. PS Ristorante holds both a Michelin Star and a Michelin Green Star. Honey, wine, olive oil, cheese, and organic produce all come directly from the estate's own land. The 170-hectare farm runs falconry, truffle hunting, horseback riding, and e-bike trails across its own grounds.
Villa Petriolo is a 15th-century Tuscan estate spanning 170 hectares of vineyards, olive groves, and woodland that has been painstakingly restored into a luxury agritourism retreat. The estate is organic to its core — free-range livestock roam the grounds, solar panels power water heating, and a 0km kitchen philosophy means everything from the honey to the Chianti flows from the land to the plate. It holds a Michelin Key (2025), a Michelin Green Star for PS Ristorante, and was the first agritourism in Europe to earn the ISO 21401 Sustainable Tourism certification.
Where You'll Stay
15 room types available
Castelforno Private Apartment Suite
A self-contained private apartment in the Castelforno building, sleeping up to 4. Comes with a full kitchen, separate living area, and a private hot tub — the most independent accommodation option on the estate.
KingCastelforno Private Apartment Suite with Terrace
The terrace upgrade on the Castelforno apartment, sleeping up to 4. Full kitchen, living area, private hot tub, plus a dedicated terrace. The most expansive accommodation at the property — note that promotional packages typically exclude Castelforno apartments.
KingClassic Room
The entry-level option in the historic villa building, sleeping 2. Furnished with local handmade pieces, a flat-screen TV, minibar, espresso maker, and rainfall shower. Some guests note these run on the smaller side — consider upgrading if space matters.
QueenJunior Suite
A 25 sqm suite with panoramic views of the Tuscan countryside. Queen bed, and the terrace-or-balcony setup is the key draw here. A handful of reviews mention these feel compact for a suite category — fair warning.
Queen · 25 sqmMaster Suite Alessandri
Named after one of the villa's historic noble families. King bed, large bathroom with full soaking tub, and the kind of high-ceilinged historic character you come to Tuscany for.
KingMaster Suite Bellavista
The name says it all — 'beautiful view.' This is the one reviewers rave about: a panoramic terrace with sweeping views over the vineyards and rolling hills, a freestanding soaking tub, and a separate living area. Arguably the signature suite of the property.
KingMaster Suite Cantiniere
Named after the estate's historic cellar master. King bed, rustic Tuscan aesthetic with terracotta floors and exposed wooden beams.
KingMaster Suite Colombaia
Sleeps up to 3. Named after the historic colombaia (pigeon house) of the estate. King bed with the full rustic-luxe Tuscan atmosphere.
KingMaster Suite Piccionaia
Takes its name from the estate's historic dovecote. King bed and the full traditional Tuscan villa treatment — terracotta floors, antique armoires, and hand-carved furniture.
KingMaster Suite Quartierino
One of the larger master suites, sleeping up to 3 guests. Features a separate living area and the signature terracotta and exposed-beam aesthetic of the historic main villa.
KingPool Family Suite
The family option, sleeping up to 4 guests. Pool-side patio access and the extra space needed for family travel. One of the few room types genuinely set up for families with children.
QueenPool Junior Suite
Same footprint as the Junior Suite at 25 sqm, but with direct access straight to the swimming pool. Great for guests who want to slide out of bed and into the water before breakfast.
Queen · 25 sqmPool Premium Suite
The 30 sqm pool-access version of the Premium Suite, with a private patio opening onto the pool area. Courtyard-facing orientation gives a slightly more sheltered feel than the hillside suites.
Queen · 30 sqmPremium Suite
Stepping up to 30 sqm, the Premium Suite faces the hillside for properly cinematic Tuscan views. Comes with a full bathtub — a feature that earns repeated mentions in reviews.
Queen · 30 sqmWellness Suite
Located in the modern Mater Wellness Retreat wing, these suites have contemporary Italian design with clean lines and neutral palettes — a deliberate contrast to the rustic frescoed rooms in the main villa. Positioned steps from the spa.
