La Dolce Vita in Val d’Orcia
Where Light, Silence, and Beauty Become Home
There is a valley in Tuscany where the land breathes with ancient rhythm, where cypress trees stand like sentinels of stillness, and the sunlight touches the earth like a blessing. In this enchanted place—the Val d’Orcia—a dream has taken shape.
More than a collection of properties, La Dolce Vita in Val d’Orcia is a poetic journey into the soul of the Italian countryside. It is a project born from a profound love of beauty, slowness, and authenticity. United by vision but distinct in personality, three extraordinary retreats—Rocca d’Orcia, Vitaleta, and Locanda in Tuscany—invite you to live not as a guest, but as a tender part of the landscape.
Each residence honors the art of quiet living, where elegance is effortless, and where every gesture speaks of care. Through ancient stone, timeless views, warm hospitality, and a silence that soothes the spirit, La Dolce Vita becomes not just a name—but a way of feeling, of returning to yourself.
Rocca d’Orcia: A Fortress of Quiet Nobility
Tucked within the medieval village of Rocca d’Orcia, perched above the valley like a watchful dream, this residence offers an embrace of history and silence. Behind its ancient stone walls, a home has been reborn—a place where past and present speak softly through arches, handmade materials, and rooms that open to the vastness of the Val d’Orcia.
Carefully restored with understated elegance, Rocca d’Orcia features exclusive suites and refined common spaces. Large windows frame the rolling hills, terracotta floors remain cool beneath your feet, and the gentle play of light on the walls marks the passing of the day.
Guests can enjoy private terraces, reading corners warmed by the hearth, and curated experiences such as wine tastings, guided walks through the village, or moments of stillness in the garden overlooking the valley.
Vitaleta: The Heartbeat of the Hills
There are places that feel sacred before a word is spoken. Vitaleta is one of them. Set among gently rolling wheat fields and olive groves, just steps from the iconic Chapel of the Madonna di Vitaleta, this estate is a sanctuary of light, peace, and timeless charm.
Once a rural borgo, today Vitaleta offers refined accommodations nestled in nature: elegant suites with soft natural tones, reclaimed wood beams, organic fabrics, and views that change color with the sky. Some rooms have fireplaces, others open directly to the fields; all invite you to pause, breathe, and simply exist.
The estate features an infinity pool with panoramic views, wellness treatments inspired by the land, and a restaurant serving seasonal Tuscan cuisine—with ingredients often harvested directly from the surrounding countryside. From sunrise meditations to stargazing evenings, everything at Vitaleta is designed to reconnect you to the essential.
Locanda in Tuscany: Where Time Tastes Like Home
Surrounded by the infinite beauty of the Val d’Orcia, where golden fields roll toward the horizon and the sunsets paint the sky with fire and rose, Locanda in Tuscany welcomes you with the warmth of a home and the elegance of a retreat.
A former 17th-century farmhouse transformed into a boutique hotel, the Locanda blends rustic charm with subtle luxury: nine uniquely designed rooms, each with a view over the valley, and interiors that blend raw materials with handmade Tuscan touches. Think exposed stone walls, natural linen, hand-carved furniture, and light that moves like poetry through every space.
The restaurant, Taverna di Mozart, offers an unforgettable culinary experience under the stars: local wine, organic ingredients, and traditional recipes reimagined with care. Days unfold gently—reading by the pool, walking along country paths, or enjoying yoga with a view of Monte Amiata.
The True Essence of the Val d’Orcia
It does not demand attention. It whispers. It lingers. It welcomes. It is found in a glass of wine sipped slowly at dusk, in the cool stone under your hands, in the echo of footsteps through ancient alleyways. Whether you are wrapped in the quiet strength of Rocca d’Orcia, embraced by the golden light of Vitaleta,or welcomed like family at Locanda in Tuscany, you are not a visitor her. You are part of the story. And long after you leave, this place will remain within you—a memory, a fragrance, a way of living you will never want to forget.
