My wife and I recently stayed at this extraordinary place, a 15th-century converted monastery filled with more than 700 objet d'arts from contemporary Italian artist Anna Izzo (http://www.annaizzoartdesign.com/). Because of prearranged travel plans, we could stay only one night, but the brief stay was memorable. From the oversized, playful giants dotting the outside lawn, to the provocative paintings and sculptures... more

Ubercool place to stay in Tuscany that gracefully marries early 15th century monastery with modern art . Beautiful location outside of town overlooking the old walled city of Torrita di Siena. Easily reach vineyards, castles, etc. within 15 - 30 minutes by car. Georges is an incredible host, and rightfully so since he was in charge of several five star... more

We loved this hotel - it is so unique and very different from other hotels we have stayed at. The art work is amazing - and very well placed in and around the building. The location was great and once you find the hotel it is easy to get around the countryside (GPS highly recommended). The breakfast was great -... more

Beautiful setting, with over 500 pieces of art and friendly owner George, who helps you with recommendations and tips in the neigbourhood and serves you a fresh breakfast in the nice garden. Rooms (8 in total) are comfortable though little dark as the building was used to be a monastery. The bathrooms are basic, small but clean. The city of... more

What an amazing and unique place to stay. The artwork and statues by Anna Izzo are everywhere, you see something different at every turn!!! The rooms are beautiful in this converted monastery and very comfy. The breakfast provided by Anastasia was truly magnificent. Her cakes melt in the mouth – it did not take us long to get used to... more

Our stay in Tuscany couldn't have been better. From arrival to departure we were very impressed. Georges and Antassasia are wonderful hosts and do everything to make the stay enjoyable. The location is central and you can drive (I do recommend having a car and a GPS) to many local towns in 20-30 minutes Montepulciano, etc), and you can be... more

Anastassia and George are wonderful hosts of this historical monestary , they are experienced and caring and make you feel truly welcome! Anna Izzo's art is enjoyable and sets the tone for the gorgeous colours of the Toscany! George knows great restaurants in the area and helps with bookings. All of the above plus its great location (just 10 minutes... more

Nestled beautifully in the Tuscan hills with wonderful views of the nearby Torrita di Siena, this romantic, boutique B&B is a must if you're in the region. Under new management since May 2009, the residence has undergone a full facelift. The experience has now been improved with renewed focus on cleanliness (the rooms and bathroom were spotless!) and a delicious,... more

The straight dope: This place is a unique gem. If you are looking for an experience as opposed to something familiar then this is the place for you. The setting is quintessential Tuscany. Perched on a hill overlooking a castle walled hamlet and the surrounding countryside. The design of the hotel itself is a blend of medieval buildings and modern... more
