The Rooms

The Bed & Breakfast is situated in the historic centre of San Quirico d'Orcia, in the Orcia Valley in Tuscany. It is composed of two historical palazzoes situated right in front of  the collegiate church and  Palazzo Chigi.
Inside of one of the two palazzoes is the so called "Casa Lemmi" with 6 rooms and suites, of which 2 double rooms, 1 junior suite and 3 suites, called after their use in the past.

The rooms are facing inside a great staircase of Romanesque origins that has been several times changed until its actual aspect, dating back to the 19th century. The staircase is projected towards a bright, sunny dome that from the outside seems as if it was a secret eye above the monuments of San Quirico d'Orcia and the Orcia Valley.
On the first floor are situated the suites Il Granaio, very spacious, with comfortable sofas and windows watching the green of the Orcia Valley with the Amiata mount in the background.

On the other side of the building, with view over the collegiata church and Palazzo Chigi, is situated the suite Oliaia, composed of a studio, corridor connecting bedroom and bathroom. Next to the suite is situated the spacious room Stanza del Fattore. On the second floor are situated two other rooms, called Stanza del Vino facing the collegiata church and Palazzo Chigi as well as the suite Caciaia that is facing the red tiled terracotta roofs and the panorama of the Orcia Valley with Mount Amiata in the background. In the huge mansard is situated the so called suite Stanza del Vinsanto.

Adiacent to Casa Lemmi and also connected inside, is Palazzo Lemmi, where are still living the owners. Inside are situated two more suites and a double room. The two suites, called Imperial and Collegiata are facing the collegiata church, whereas the double rooms is facing the courtyard.
The Imperial suite has a small balcony directly above the collegiata church and an antique fireplace made of travertine marble in the same Romanesque-gotic style of the collegiata in front. The suite takes its name from Frederic I, also known as  Barbarossa, who slept there.

The Collegiata suite has nearly an air view over the collegiata church and Palazzo Chigi, giving the impression as if one is flying above these monuments.
The double room, viewing directly Mount Amiata, has been called Azzurra (engl. sky-blue room), because of the blue sky around the amiata on sunny days.
Rooms and suites are all very spacious and each is different from the other in furnishings and décors, most family properties dating back to the 19th century, but what they have in common is that they are equipped with all mods and cons: telephone, mini-bar,, safe, satellite TV, internet connection, bath with shower or tub, hairdryer, heating, air conditioning. A rich breakfast is served in the morning or in the nice courtyard (summer months) or within the so called Sala Normanna right in front of the collegiata portal.
