Tuscany, Italy

Vegan Agrivilla i Pini: Slow Living in the Heart of Tuscany

Summer Season from April until October

Vegan Agrivilla I Pini is the perfect refuge for a quiet and vegan vacation. Surrounded by endless nature, far from any hustle and bustle you will find a magical place. This organic agriturismo defines luxury as a combination of the purest and most natural components. The 11 elegant rooms, all renovated in 2018 create a relaxing and quiet space. Everything is natural and handmade: from Tuscan terracotta tiles on the floor to hand-sewn linens. Walls made of hemp, clay, and rice husks create a sustainable and healthy indoor climate. Refurbished vintage furniture adds to the stylish and minimalist interior.

The plant-based Agrivilla I Pini is a medieval estate surrounded by vineyards and olive groves. Sourcing most ingredients from its own organic garden, the farm's vegan restaurant is truly seed to table. Everything is handmade and without refined sugars or grains. Enjoy delicious, wholesome fare inspired by the culinary traditions of Tuscany with a glass of ancestral wine. The historic vineyards at I Pini near San Gimignano are situated in an ecological terrain of ancient fossil remains and vast deposits of limestone. Covering a landscape of over 12 acres, the vines are more than half a century old.

Agrivilla I Pini provides the perfect setting to enjoy culinary delights while the sun sets behind the patio overlooking the awe-inspiring landscape. Breakfast and dinner are included in the stay — from Friday to Wednesday, evenings unfold with a thoughtfully curated 4-course set menu, while Thursdays bring something more convivial: pizza fresh from the wood-fired oven. A gluten-free option is always available upon request in advance.

Each season is unique and beautiful. If you visit during late summer or fall, you may experience the villa's olive harvest in October. Every autumn, the grapes are harvested by hand during the communal Vendemmia.

The Edible Food Forest is where all of these philosophies come to life. Working according to the cycles of the seasons and the moon, the team at I Pini practices the gentle methods of natural and regenerative farming — growing a rich variety of vegetables, fruits, and medicinal and culinary herbs to nourish all who come to visit.

Putting the mind at ease is I Pini's interpretation of living within the Tuscan countryside. To relax, take a dip in the beautiful saltwater pool or join a mindful yoga session. Nature is all around, setting an atmosphere to slow down, daydream and breathe more consciously. Immerse in nature by feeling the warmth of the sun, a tiny wind breeze every now and then as well as the refreshing smell of the surrounding vegetation. What more does one need?

We had the best stay at this agrivilla. My partner and I stayed here for four nights.

We embraced the opportunity to slow down and spent our days relaxing by the pool, reading in the olive grove, and enjoying the peace that this place provides. There is WiFi only in the main areas, like the lobby, and we loved “unplugging” during this retreat. We practiced yoga and meditation (included in the stay) and paid to take a cooking class with Chef Seizan. We made pici pasta, which is traditional and naturally vegan. Highly recommend this experience! The staff was absolutely exceptional - super friendly and went above and beyond for us. My partner requested that they put together a bouquet as a surprise for me upon check in and it was absolutely beautiful. On our last morning, we left early and they packed us a breakfast to bring to the airport with us. Super thoughtful! The “Half Board” includes a full breakfast and dinner. Meals change daily and take advantage of the harvest & seasonal produce. Breakfast is hearty - porridge, fruits, nut butters, jams, sourdough, and frittatas. Dinner will not leaving you disappointed, either! Beautifully plated dishes that leave you full and feeling healthy. One of the most grounding experiences we had was our walks in the olive grove & vineyards. You can find multiple sets of wooden chairs throughout the property that allow you to sit and be present in nature. Thursday night is aperitivo & pizza night with the wood-fired oven. They make as many pizzas as you can possibly put down! One of the owners, Ben, attended the pizza night, which is probably the most social event of the week. Ben is kind and down to earth, and we enjoyed learning about his journey with veganism, olive oil, and more. This agrivilla has a ton of charm and the way of life will have you wishing you could stay here forever!!! Thank you to all who makes this beautiful, sustainable, healthy-living project possible. We look forward to returning someday!! [...]

We had a wonderful stay at this truly exceptional plant based, half board hotel. The food was AMAZING. World class chefs curated a delicious menu with the tastiest local ingredients. Portion size was spot on which is not always the case in vegan restaurants. Vegan cookery is a science as much as an art and We had a wonderful stay at this truly exceptional plant based, half board hotel. The food was AMAZING. World class chefs curated a delicious menu with the tastiest local ingredients. Portion size was spot on which is not always the case in vegan restaurants. Vegan cookery is a science as much as an art and I blown away at the depth of flavour and texture. The hotel offers several activities for free and I attended the mindfulness meditation in the mornings on the yoga deck in the olive garden. This was truly wonderful and made my stay very special. It was led by an experienced teacher in the Zen tradition but very open to beginners. The hotel is very rustic and charming. The staff were so helpful and attentive. The hotel is dog friendly, we brought our Havanese Lola who was well cared for. We are grateful for the patience and kindness of the staff when she was overstimulated and barked or ran off briefly to an area that she shouldn’t be in. My only recommendations for improvement would be to move the bed so it wasn’t under the AC, and to extend the WiFi so it works in the rooms. These are very minor concerns and the rooms were very comfortable and rustic. [...]

We spent our honeymoon at this agrivilla.

While its definitely on the expensive side, it’s great for those who want to experience genuine rest and peace at a prime location in Tuscany while eating really good quality vegan food. The vegan food they serve you for breakfast (2 courses), lunch (a la carte) and dinner (4 courses) is super tasty, healthy and quite inventive. Most ingredients are from the agrivilla itself or from its direct neighbors, so its super local. The sunrise behind San Gimignano is something else and the swimming pool is divine. The yoga, zen meditation and cooking classes we followed were really insightful and given by inspiring people. The rooms and facilities were completely in order and well maintained. The Agrivilla also clearly values sustainability. All in all, we had a perfect week here for our honeymoon. Thanks to all the amazing people that served us during our stay. [...]
