About This Villa

Tucked into a hidden valley where vineyards meet forested hills, Villa Lala feels like discovering a secret chapter of Tuscany. Once owned by a renowned American writer and later chosen as a film set, the estate has now been lovingly transformed by an Italian architect and his Australian wife. The result is a home where Tuscan tradition sings in harmony with understated modern design.

Walk through its arched loggia and you’re greeted by terracotta floors, softly lime-washed walls, and lofty timber beams. The villa flows effortlessly between indoor and outdoor living, with five French doors revealing shaded terraces, a Tuscan pergola, and views across olive groves and cypress-dotted hills. Five beautiful bedrooms, each with chevron parquet and en-suite travertine bathrooms, include two serene master suites and a one-of-a-kind bedroom tucked into the villa’s original tower, offering uninterrupted 360-degree views across the estate.

The kitchen is a dream for cooks, with a travertine island, wine fridge and double ovens, while the formal dining room and twin lounges invite long, laughter-filled evenings. Outside, the elliptical heated pool shimmers beside the wild garden, where bees hum through rosemary and the scent of lavender drifts on the breeze.
