“Former monastery in the heart of Pienza offers elegance and style, with delightful bedrooms in natural tones with tiled floors and arched ceilings. The cloister terrace restaurant serves delicious food and there are beautiful gardens and a pool that overlook the undulating valley. A romantic spot.”

Hotel Review
Occupying a former monastery whose graceful cloister you pass through on the way in, this stylish hotel is situated in the heart of Renaissance Pienza. Bedrooms are housed in the ex-monks’ cells while the sitting room and restaurant open on to a delightful terrace garden.
