 The Monastery complex of Santa Maria della Pace is placed in Botinaccio, a place where the Frescobaldi family, lords of Castiglioni, had several properties inherited from the Guidi counts. After a miraculous apparition of Virgin Mary an oratory was built and managed by Franciscan friars. |
 The sanctuary is opened for those who like to feel on prayer, or simply, to spend time quietly and peacefully immersed in the stillness and beauty of Tuscan countryside. In the monastery are available basic but pretty rooms, an old refectory, meeting rooms and an impressive cloister. |
 This place of devotion has been enlarged, in the course of the centuries, to meet the need of the more and more numerous pilgrims going there. The monastery has been carefully restored to bring it back to its ancient beauty but also to create a graceful and comfortable place where visitors can spend their days. |
 The charming panorama induces to the admiration and to the contemplation of the natural beauties: the dawn. the sunset, the woods, the olive-trees and the typical vineyard of the Chianti. Moreover the nearby cities of art as Florence, Siena, Pisa, the medieval villages as San Gimignano and the Etruscan town as Volterra are within easy reached. |
