Description

The B&B offers in the historic centre of San Quirico d'Orcia in Tuscany, charming rooms with view that have been recently restored and enriched with work of art. It is situated right in the piazza in front of the Collegiata Church and Palazzo Chigi.
The building, of Norman origins, also once the refuge of the Knights Templar, Imperial residence, guest house, convent, fortified house, has been for at least three hundred years, the home of big landowners of the Orcia Valley. Inside, in one wing of the building, once used for agricultural purposes, there are now most of the guest rooms.

All rooms and suites have been completely and very tastefully restructured, becoming artistic rooms with unique works of art and antiques.
Modern and technological facilities (telephone, minibar, satellite-TV, air conditioning, internet connection etc.) were skillfully combined with the medieval atmosphere which it retains, making this a special place for residents who want to be away from the crowd.

Through the window, the guest's eye is first attracted by the twelfth century Collegiata Church and then by the view of Mount Amiata which dominates one side of the Val D'Orcia - recently World Heritage listed by UNESCO - and on the other side, towards the Maremma and the sea.
In the morning is waiting a rich breakfast buffet for the guests that will be served during the summer months inside of the characteristic courtyard or in the winter months or if the weather is not permitting, within the Sala Normanna right in front of the west portal of the Collegiata Church.

In the narrow and very characteristic alleys of San Quirico d'Orcia there are small shops/boutiques as well as very good restaurants/trattorias and bars.
Guests can park their car nearby and will get through the accommodation a special permission to access the historic centre.
