 Restaurant
With its traditional stone walls as well as the brick arches and the fireplace, with the large windows looking over the Valdichiana and the stylish furniture, the restaurant offers an intimate and refined atmosphere. |
 It is here that the authentic Tuscan specialities can be tasted, and in particular those from the part of the region between Val d' Orcia and the Valdichiana, with carefully blended ancient fragrances and flavours; and it couldn't be otherwise given that the chef and owner Paolo Masini is a direct descendant of a dynasty of haute cuisine chefs (a grandfather was once a royal chef
in Naples). |
 Obviously only materials of the highest quality are carefully chosen for the guests from the surrounding area: Sienese extra-virgin olive oil, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano and Brunello di Montalcino wine, Pienza sheep's cheese, white and black truffle depending on the season, top quality Chianina beef considered amongst the best meats in the world. |

 Montepulciano, 10 km: in the summer the town hosts the "Cantiere Internazionale d'arte" and in the mid-Augut holidays the "Bruscello", a traditional show spoken in rhyme, is performed on the Cathedral steps. On August 29 a wine barrel race, the "Bravìo", is run between the different contrade, or districts, of the town and there is a procession in 13th-century dress.
Pienza, 10 km: it' s a mainly agricultural centre, particularly famous for its pecorino cheese. The traditional cheese show, "fiera del cacio" takes place on the first Sunday in September. The flower show "Pienza e i fiori" takes place in mid May. Also to be visited is Monticchiello, made famous by its "Teatro povero", a new play anacted each summer by the local inhabitants.
Torrita di Siena, 10 km: the donkey race "Palio dei Somari", takes place in March. Apart from the town itself, composed of the historical centre and a newer development, do not miss visiting Montefollonico, a village built around a former medieval castle and having remained largely intact. The walks here are particularly enjoable.
Montalcino, 30 km: without doubt, Montalcino lives a life of many souls. Montalcino as the birthplace of Brunello wine, whic someone once defined as the best and most renowned wine in Italy. From the height of its 564 m. the ancient town dominates the surrounding countryside, clinging to the slopes of a hill crowned by the imposing 14th-century fortress. In the labyrinth of little streets, amongst artisans'shops, small cafès and places selling typical local produce ( besides the wine, their honey and locally-made biscuits called "dead bones" are also well-known) the sights worth seeing are the fine Town Hall, the Bishp's Palace. |
