THEY SAY: Once upon a time, in the XIVth century, there was a small village called Amorosa... we have turned the ancient stables into a restaurant; filled the old cellars with a careful selection of wines and placed guest rooms in the manor. In this way the Locanda dell'Amorosa came into being, an oasis of country peace among the rolling Sienese hills that look down on the Chiana Valley. The ideal sojourn in the heart of one of the most fascinating areas of art, culture and landscape. In the area around the Locanda dell'Amorosa are Siena, Arezzo, Perugia, the Val d'Orcia with Pienza, Montepulciano and Montalcino, the producers of the great Tuscan wines, superb extra virgin olive oil; the fascinating "clay hills" of Siena with San Giovanni d'Asso's precious white truffles.The location exudes an atmosphere of true serenity and sweetness and anyone exposed to it will be awestruck. Perhaps this feeling has been instilled by the generations that have loved and respected this village. Perhaps it is because in the last seven hundred years of existence it has changed owners only once. Each room has its own character and design. Rustic furniture of peasant origins is mixed with antique furniture, prints and paintings. Some, that open directly to the outdoors give the sense of having a place of one's own; others have a relaxing view of the typical Sienese countryside; yet other look out onto the complex's quadrangle and face the lodgings the peasants at one time inhabited. In addition to the extensive garden maintained and reserved for the guests'use, the hotel is surrounded by its own farmlands, vineyards, olive orchards, woods, and well - cultivated plains of corn wheat and sunflowers, rendering an ideal environment for walks in the countryside. All of the rooms offer private baths, refrigerators, satellite TV, externally accessible telephones, air conditioning, and ample private parking.
