Our small, family-run hotel places the emphasis on service and a friendly, welcoming stay. As a rural retreat we don’t offer a laundry service or conference centre as they are not needed. Instead we offer the opportunity to relax, de-stress and soak up the atmosphere of the countryside whilst exploring on foot, bike or horseback.

The hotel has a swimming pool and terrace on which to relax and enjoy life under the Tuscan sun. We also have a warm-water pool with hydro-massage - a chance to relax in real comfort!
It’s the outdoors that draws people here though - the area in which we are located is, quite simply, some of the most beautiful in Tuscany - made for exploring on foot, bike and by horse. Our long residence here combined with our love of the great outdoors means we know the area well and, using this experience, we have put together a range of day walks that can be made from the hotel.
Self-guided walkers can head off with route notes and a map to discover the beautiful landscapes that surround the hotel. We offer a variety of packages and almost any duration can be arranged and an arrival at the hotel is possible on any day. Guided walking holidays are also available – just contact us with your requirements.
Horse riding is where we started and it’s not too much to say that we are true experts in what we offer. We have a stable of 15 local Maremma horses and Maremma-cross horses and can accommodate riders of all abilities, whether novices or experienced riders.
The Maremma horse: Sturdy and fit they all have a balanced character, sure-footedness and are in excellent condition. Their overall will to survive in the difficult conditions of the Maremma has created a strong warm-blooded race, and an ideal trail horse. Today horses are bred and raised in the wide meadows. Intense friendships and an organised hierarchy mark the life of our horses. Through the security of the herd they develop a quiet, strong character, well able to cope with the rough ground underfoot. We ride in English or trail saddles, and on a loose rein.
Here in the Alta Maremma there are any number of off-roads mountain bike trails to discover – some have challenging uphill rides, others are mainly downhill – all have great views and take you far from asphalted roads and can be changed, shortened or lengthened depending on your preferences. On these tours you can meet those out for a ride or walk for a picnic lunch. Bring your own bike (we have a storage facility and a place for running repairs), or rent one of ours.
A range of other activities are available from us. You may want to head out on an excursion to nearby Siena or explore the local mines, go canoeing, try archery or quad-biking – all are available, just ask. Of course horses can be hired by the hour for those that want to sample riding, and you don’t have to sign up to a multi-day tour to hire one of our bikes.
