Podere la Specola

About Podere la Specola

Podere La Specola is an exclusive 14th-century estate set on a private hillside in the Chianti countryside, once home to the Renaissance philosopher Marsilio Ficino. Surrounded by vineyards, olive groves and panoramic views of the Tuscan hills, the property offers couples a truly private setting: the entire estate — three independent villas with 10 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms — is reserved exclusively for you and your loved ones.

The estate hosts wedding celebrations of up to 100 guests, with on-site accommodation for up to 22. Celebrations take place among centuries-old stone walls, manicured gardens and a covered event pavilion beside the main villa, with a 16-metre pool and a historic wine cellar for tastings of Chianti and Tuscan wines. The blend of authentic Renaissance character, complete privacy and sweeping views makes La Specola an unforgettable backdrop for ceremonies, receptions and multi-day wedding celebrations.

Just 6 km from Figline Valdarno and under an hour from Florence, the estate combines seclusion with easy access for your guests.
