La Corbina, Tuscany, Italy
La Corbina is a restored 18th century stone farmhouse that sits by itself near the top of a hill, offering the classical Tuscan view of rolling hills, unspoiled valleys, and hill-top villages. The house is part of a small working farm and is surrounded by olive groves and vinyards.
The owners restored La Corbina using materials found on the site and with antique materials–terracottage flooring, tiles, and stone sinks among them–used when necessary. The 2-bedroom home is furnished with a mix of contemporary designer pieces and rustic furniture.
Up to 4 guests can lodge comfortably in the 2-bedroom home. Take advantage of La Corbina’s fully equipped kitchen, vegetable garden and house-made olive oil to sharpen your Italian cooking skills. Depending on the season, you can pick tomatoes, zucchini, eggplants, peppers, peas, beans, leeks, artichokes and more right outside the front of the house. Dine al fresco on one of the many outdoor dining areas.
For extra luxury, a large infinity pool sits above the house and offers amazing views of the valley. If you ever want to leave La Corbina, Siena, Montalcino, Arezzo, and Florence are less than an hour away by car. The owners are happy to help you arrange day trips to local vineyards.

Our stay at La Corbina exceeded all expectations. From the hospitality of Paul and Nicole to the incredible views to the chef’s kitchen with all the amenities (and then some) we spent an incredible week in the Tuscan countryside. Each day we had to decide which terrace to dine on. The vegetable garden was abundant and thus we only had to visit a butcher for meat to complete our meals. Paul’s advice on wineries, restaurants and parking tricks proved invaluable. We hope to return very soon.

Pictures cannot do justice to the experience of a week in this idyllic spot on the side of a hill overlooking a classic Tuscan valley. The only sounds you hear are the birds and the distant church bells. The garden is overflowing with fresh produce ready for the picking and preparation for simple or over the top meals in a kitchen any chef would want for nothing. The owner hosts Paul and Nicole are warm and helpful friends to all guests. It’s not easy to get here, but once you have settled in, you forget there is another world beyond the hills of vineyards and olive orchards.
