Once a farmhouse, this 17th century property is today a place of leisure rather than agricultural toil. After all, the stables have been converted into a wellness centre complete with Turkish bath and Jacuzzi.
And if that’s not enough to emphasize the transition from bucolic to bonhomie of the hospitality kind, it also boasts an infinity pool (saltwater) and terrace affording a beautiful vista across Siena.
Of course, there are plenty of the mod-cons the 21st century traveller expects, but the overall feel is very much that of a Tuscan country house. Its 5 rooms (and one family suite) are all individually furnished.
Moreover, the friendliness of the hosts, Mario and Elisabetta, is almost legendary if independent reviews are to be taken at their word.
Benefiting from its rural location, yet little over a couple of miles to Siena itself, this distinguished bed & breakfast is also well-placed for those seeking to explore this corner of Tuscany by car.
