This small hotel, housed in a former 12th-century Benedictine abbey, is brand new. It was renovated with great passion, dedication and good taste by the Galletti family. The rooms are cosily decorated with a contemporary touch, but while still respecting the authenticity of the building, allowing them to fit perfectly into the charming setting. In addition to the abbey, the family also revived the farm. They bought new livestock, they carefully restored the neglected olive trees and planted new fruit trees and crops. Here, everything revolves around biodiversity, sustainability, personal service, professionalism and - what else - delicious local cuisine, using their own products. Its location near the border with Tuscany means it is an ideal place to visit both regions.
