Another great property just 10 miles from Siena, this Tuscan estate has been beautifully restored and offers a peaceful countryside setting. It is like stepping back in time to stay here. The private residence of the famous Sozzini dynasty for five centuries, it is now one of the most exclusive hotels in the area. All rooms are different and are beautifully furnished; some have a private entrance and overlook the gardens. The restaurant specializes in regional cuisine and the wine list features many wines of the Chianti area. The wellness center offers a wide range of treatments focusing on beauty and relaxation. They even make a line of cosmetics using products from the estate such as wine, oil and honey. On a clear day, one can see Siena’s cathedral over the rolling hills. Those with cars will find ample free parking for those day excursions.
