Nestled in the lush green heart of the Monti Pisani, Le Chiome is an intimate and authentic agriturismo that emerged from the shared dream of Priscilla and Giorgia, a mother and daughter who have chosen to live in harmony with nature. Here, time truly slows down, surrounded by olive groves, quiet paths, and small daily gestures that reflect a different approach to hospitality.

The accommodations are limited to just three rooms, each thoughtfully decorated and featuring distinct atmospheres: a suite with a fireplace and a vintage bathtub overlooking the hills, and two cozy, bright rooms furnished with simplicity and style. Staying at Le Chiome means drifting off to sleep in the tranquility of the countryside and waking up to the aromas of freshly brewed coffee and homemade cakes.

The dining experience encourages a slow pace. While there isn't a restaurant open at all times, there are dinner reservations available on weekends, designed to highlight the bounty of the land. Homemade bread, artisanal preserves, freshly picked vegetables, fragrant desserts, and herbal infusions all contribute to a genuine, seasonal sense of togetherness. The ambiance resembles a lived-in home, with a few tables and a lot of attention to detail.

In addition to its hospitality, Le Chiome also functions as a working farm and educational center. The olive oil produced from hand-cultivated olives, honey from the family’s bees, herbal drinks, and garden vegetables are the result of constant and passionate care. The animals are not just mere inhabitants; they are family members: donkeys, sheep, goats, dogs, and a small pony coexist harmoniously, becoming part of the experiences offered to children as well. The educational activities are designed to help reconnect with nature, providing moments of discovery, play, and real engagement with rural life.

Situated on the slopes of the Monti Pisani, Le Chiome allows for a perfect blend of relaxation and wonderful hikes through forests and historic villages. Vicopisano, Calci, and the San Giuliano thermal baths are just a few kilometers away, while Pisa, Lucca, and Livorno are easily accessible. The coast is also a short distance away for those wishing to take a dip in the Tuscan sea.

Le Chiome is an unforgettable place where every detail speaks of home, conscious choices, and genuine hospitality. It is a quiet and sincere refuge where one can rediscover the essentials.
Rooms and Rates
Breakfast at Le Chiome is a time of tranquility and authenticity, designed to start the day simply and deliciously. Each morning, the aroma of fluffy cakes, jam tarts, and freshly baked cookies wafts from the kitchen, where every item is homemade using genuine, local ingredients. The buffet, abundant yet never overwhelming, features products that tell the story of rural traditions, accompanied by hot drinks and artisanal jams.

It’s more than just a meal; it’s an invitation to take your time, sit back, and enjoy the light filtering through the olive trees. Every breakfast is a gesture of hospitality, an intimate and familial moment that reflects the ambiance of the entire establishment.
The kitchen at Le Chiome is not a restaurant in the traditional sense; rather, it is an experience to be savored slowly and mindfully. It operates on weekends and by reservation, providing intimate dinners among the olive trees as the sunset casts its glow over the Tuscan landscape. Each dish is crafted from ingredients that are cultivated and processed on-site: freshly baked bread, seasonal vegetables, homemade preserves, fragrant desserts, and herbal beverages.

The atmosphere is cozy and informal, with a few carefully arranged seats and a simple yet attentive table setting. The cuisine follows the rhythms of nature, highlighting what the land provides and encouraging the enjoyment of meals at a leisurely pace. Upon request, private events, special dinners, or rustic aperitifs can be arranged, all emphasizing authenticity. Every evening at Le Chiome invites you to slow down and savor the moment.

Together, they have created a space that reflects their values, where every guest is warmly welcomed, free from formality, yet with the attentiveness of someone who truly opens their home.

Giorgia contributes energy, creativity, and a fresh perspective that can turn every moment into an opportunity for connection. Together, they make a cohesive team—present but never intrusive, always ready to listen and foster an authentic atmosphere. With them, one feels awaited, acknowledged, and embraced as part of something greater.

Area Collina

The Monti Pisani are one of the most authentic and least explored regions of Tuscany, a patchwork of landscapes that alternates between chestnut and oak forests, centuries-old olive groves, and quaint stone villages that seem frozen in time. Here, nestled between the provinces of Pisa and Lucca, nature reigns supreme, serving as a silent companion for those in search of tranquility, beauty, and a deeper connection to the land.

The area is abundant with scenic trails that weave through gentle hills, wooded valleys, and ridges with views that extend to the sea. Walking or cycling along these paths allows one to immerse themselves in a rarefied atmosphere, where the rustling of leaves and the songs of birds accompany every step. Just minutes away from Le Chiome, you can find places like Vicopisano, known for its medieval towers and artisan shops, Calci with its monumental Certosa and Natural History Museum, and the ancient thermal baths of San Giuliano, perfect for an afternoon of relaxation.

Pisa is about 20 km away; in addition to the famous Leaning Tower, it boasts an artistic and architectural heritage that reveals itself while strolling through elegant squares and peaceful riverbanks. Nearby, you can also visit Lucca, with its well-preserved walls and cobbled streets, or Livorno, a coastal city with canals, where the horizon opens up to the Tuscan Archipelago. Florence, Volterra, and San Gimignano can be reached in a day, offering opportunities to immerse oneself in art, history, and flavors.

This region is also a small gastronomic paradise: extra virgin olive oil, honey, local cheeses, wines, and seasonal products reflect a strong connection to agricultural traditions. Each village has its own festival, and each season brings its own specialties. It’s a more intimate Tuscany, characterized by silence, breathtaking views, and genuine encounters. Perfect for those seeking a journey off the beaten path, attuned to the land and to themselves.
