Profile |
The Relais il Fienile is elegant, welcoming and environment friendly, an ideal base for those seeking peace, good taste and comfort but wishing also to explore the many and as yet largely undiscovered riches offered by the Casentino: scenery, touring and trekking, history, religion, art, artisan work, and shopping. |
The building (an old barn restructured with traditional materials local stone, exposed wooden beams, Florentine terracotta) is surrounded by a green, tree-lined park, a swimming pool, a large car-park, and several acres of estate. On the ground floor there are the reception rooms (a portico, sitting rooms for chatting or simply relaxing in, a dining and breakfast room). |
On the other floors there are the guests' bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, and each tastefully and simply decorated. The Relais il Fienile follows a formula akin to that of the French Relais and the English Country House. A formula consisting of five basic ingredients: Character, Courtesy, Calm, Charm, Cuisine. |
In an environment where special attention is given to service and hospitality, the owners live in the house alongside their guests, serving a breakfast of homemade produce and, on request, dining with them at a "table d'hôte" an opportunity for pleasurable conversation, which may well extend into the evening before the flames of an ancient fireplace. |
The Relais il Fienile is therefore the ideal place for anyone seeking quiet and discreet hospitality, a charming atmosphere, quality comfort in a family setting and at a particularly favourable price. |
