Profile
|
 An ancient Franciscan Monastery transformed into a hotel in the Seventies, and recently remodeled and tastefully decorated, it has comfortable rooms, all equipped with private bathroom, tub or shower, air conditioning, and modern facilities. The Property is completed by the restaurant that was derived from the cells surrounding the cloister and the former monk's refectory, including the original refectory tables, which is available for private lunches, small parties and meetings. |
 During the summer, breakfast is served in the cloister and, in the evening, the tables are arranged for dinner and to pass many happy hours. With its thirty years of experience, the restaurant prepares classic Tuscan dishes and, to drink, draws upon the most famous Tuscan and Italian wines gathered together to form a rich wine list. In 1985, a swimming pool was built in the old Franciscan garden, immersed in greenery in a way that doesn't disturb the surrounding environment. |
 The former church has been converted into a large hall that holds about 150 person for parties, meetings, exhibitions and ceremonies. The tourist complex is located just 6 km from the Pistoia exit (A 11), surrounding by the typical hilly landscape of the Chianti Montalbano, 3 km from the center of town in the Pontenuovo district, in the direction of Montale, located at mid-hill at an elevation of 230 m above sea level, looking out over the Pistoia plain, which provides a stupendous panorama and where, from the terrace on particularly clear days, you can see Brunelleschi's dome and Giotto's Bell Tower in Florence. |
 A few hours by car from the monastery, you can reach the most beautiful and famous Tuscan cities such as Florence, which is 30 km away, Siena 60 km, Lucca 25 km and Pisa 50 km. Il Convento is strategically located for easy access to the island of Elba and the other islands of the Tuscan archipelago, so you can add a pleasant stop before or after your vacation. All this to say that a vacation at Il Convento is unique and where our "luxury" is the tranquility of the "Franciscan Silences". |
