Pignano is an international community of spirited, green, and artistic souls living in an ancient Etruscan hamlet on 720 acres of pristine Tuscan countryside near San Gimignano.

Our meticulously restored 18th century villa sits at the heart of the estate and includes a series
of suites and roomy public spaces such as a ballroom, music room and library. In the grounds a generous
swimming pool has been carved from an old limestone quarry and the house is surrounded by gardens
that lead to long, bosky walks through adjoining forests and fields. The villa, lodged at 2,000 feet, receives
welcome summer breezes and offers some of Tuscany’s grandest views - west towards the Mediterranean
and east towards Siena. A collection of stone farmhouses (beautifully reconfigured as genteel
apartments and duplex ateliers) sit near the main house.

The scale and grandeur of Pignano are those of a château-hotel, but it has an atmosphere of bohemian luxury. Its rhythm of life echoes an old family estate - home to several generations - or of an
artist’s colony, where guests are treated with personal and informal hospitality.

For children, of all ages, Pignano leaves a sweet imprint. (The hamlet has its own Montessori school,
in a charming 18th century farmhouse). Meet our pigs - each one a character -
and our eccentric dogs, Farfalla and Lulu, and ride our horses.

The hamlet can comfortably accommodate large parties, and this has made Pignano home for serene holidays in the heart of Tuscany; and the center for warm celebrations: wedding, banquet, spiritual
retreat, artistic workshop, or reunion. Our cuisine and wines are proudly Tuscan, mostly organic,
always seasonal, special, and prepared with love
