Planet & People

Remote and local

Casa del Chiodo sits in a village of just 50 people, with woodland stretching for kilometres in every direction. Everything here is local by default. From the products used to the people behind your stay, including staff and collaborators, everything comes from the surrounding area. The space is run by a multi generational family, where each person plays a role, from welcoming guests to preparing food and caring for the land.

A historic home, lived in

Set within a restored 19th century farmhouse, the space carries its history without feeling overly formal. Each room is different, combining original details with modern comforts. Fireplaces, terraces overlooking the Farma Valley, and large windows create spaces that feel warm, open and easy to settle into.

It is designed to feel like a home, surrounded by forests and open land.

Farm, food and the Italian kitchen

Casa del Chiodo follows a zero kilometre approach, where ingredients come directly from the surrounding fields or nearby producers. Vegetables are grown on site and even game comes from the local hunting tradition, creating meals that are deeply tied to the region. The kitchen is a central part of daily life here. It brings everything together, from what is grown to what is served. Each dish reflects Tuscan tradition, shaped by seasonality, simplicity and a close connection to raw ingredients.

Story Behind Casa del Chiodo

Casa del Chiodo began with a decision to live differently.

At the centre of it all is Paola, who realised her dream of creating a family farm, guided by her love of the countryside.

Today, the space is run across generations. Irene brings new ideas and energy to the house, Giulia welcomes guests and prepares homemade cakes, while Marisa, Renato, Paolo and Marco each play their part in keeping everything running. It is a place built on people, where daily life, food and hospitality are all closely connected.

A true gem. Beautifully restored farmhouse with a lovely patio, comfortable bed, and gracious hosts. The food was generous and spectacular, all sourced from their farm. Homemade pasta, yogurt, jams, and cold cuts were excellent. Wild boar was a special treat at dinner. Irene ensured we were well fed and provided excellent guidance on exploring the local area. It was the highlight of our trip.

We had a truly fantastic time at Casa del Chiodo. The family that runs this place is so warm and welcoming, and it is felt in every detail of the stay, from their home's furnishings to the locally grown and sourced food that they serve for dinner and breakfast. Situated on a hill, the house offers a spectacular view of Tuscany’s beauty (worth waking up for sunrise!). We arrived in the evening, close to dinner time, and this meal deserves a special mention as it was the most memorable we’ve had this trip; it featured (amongst many things!) foraged mushrooms, wild boar meat, and the most delicious raviolo, followed by a mind-blowing panna cotta for dessert. Knowing how much labor and love went into preparing this food filled us with a special kind of gratitude and admiration. Afterwards, we slept very well and found the mattresses to be quite comfortable. Breakfast was incredibly fresh and filling, served in a relaxing atmosphere that set us up for a great day of traveling ahead. Overall, a spectacular stay in a spectacular place. We will be back!

Don’t miss the best part : the dinner. Rooms are nice and clean, the bed is amazing, … but the real experience is the food : everything, from diary product to vegetables and meat, is sourced from their farm. Which gives an incredible taste to anything of the 4 plates + desert dinner (come hungry!). The entire family is wonderfully nice, the nonna is the best cook you will meet in your trip in Italy… so go for it !
