Relais
La Commenda is owned and run by Ms. Barboni. This ancient
monastery was founded by the Camaldolesi monks around the
XI century; as indicated by the age of central tower round
which the residence has been built over the years. The central
building and its two wings date back to 1600. The villa
is immersed in a beautiful park of trees that are centuries
old, here we also find the three country houses, the swimming
pool, and the ancient well, now restored to its former state.
In a atmosphere of rare splendour both elegant and prestigious
but at the same time uncomplicated, where you can enjoy
the traditions and hospitality of times gone by. The villa
is divided into two suites and two junior suites all furnished
with antique
and Tuscan-crafted furniture, precious fabrics wrought
iron lamps, terracotta, woodwork, stone, and exposed beam
ceilings. A large sitting room with a fireplace that dates
to 1600s as well as "la
terrazza dei gerani" ( the geranium terrace ), from
where you can enjoy the marvellous sunsets, are both at
our guests' disposal. Our hospitality includes booking and
breakfast and during the summer season theme evenings and
bar-b-ques will be organized; our guests, nonetheless, have
special discounts at the best local restaurants ( one of
which is found at just 200m from Relais ).
