Locanda dell’ Amorosa
A majestic cypress tree-lined drive leads to the main gate of the
fairytale-like Locanda dell' Amorosa. This romantic Tuscan country inn,
surrounded by luxurious gardens, was a self-contained village in the 14th
century and was later owned by Pope Pius II. The buildings of the estate are
surrounded by acres of stunning farmland, vineyards, orchards and woods,
perfect for walking. The air conditioned guest rooms are located in the
main manor house, and offer discreet rustic chic décor with sumptuous fabrics
and spacious bathrooms. The candlelit restaurant, La Coccole dell'
Amorosa (which was once a stable), has stone walls and a wonderful menu of
finely prepared Tuscan classics with modern touches. Local cheeses from Pienza,
Chiana beef and white truffles are all specialties at the restaurant.
There is also a wine bar serving light meals and fine local wines. A
large pool is available for your enjoyment in warm weather. http://www.amorosa.it/
