The writer Mark Twain once said: “The Creator made Italy from designs by Michelangelo,” and nowhere is this more true than Tuscany, one of the most stunning areas of the country, where rolling green and gold hills meet swathes of vineyards and olive groves, punctuated by terracotta stone houses. It’s also home to some of Italy’s most famous and most beautiful cities; Florence, Pisa and Siena. Situated just 10km from the city of Siena sits a unique and charming accommodation option, housed in a 13th century stone castle – the Castello di Leonina.
Visitors will be warmly welcomed with friendly Tuscan hospitality, into the grand, yet intimate establishment. Your room feels as if the Chigi family have never left, filled with elegant chandeliers, regal canopied beds and gracefully upholstered furniture. Colours of rich golds and scarlets definitely give a nod to the castle’s noble past.
Comfort is definitely one thing you can be sure of at Castello di Leonina, whether swimming in the large outdoor pool, indulging in a Turkish bath or aromatherapy shower in the hotel’s wellness centre, or enjoying a relaxing massage.
When you’ve made the most of the castle’s luxurious facilities, you’ll find the beautiful city of Siena situated just 10km away and waiting to be explored. Dominated by medieval brick buildings, Gothic-style facades, narrow streets and wide plazas, it’s ideal for discovering on foot. Make your way to the Duomo, a magnificent Romanesque and Gothic structure, which was consecrated in 1179 and is one of Italy’s finest cathedrals. Art lovers should continue on to the Pinacoteca Nazionale, housed in the Palazzo Buonsignori and showcasing an array of Gothic masterpieces.
Head back to the hotel in time for another spa session or dip in the pool before dinner. Tuscan cuisine is one of Italy’s best and is based around the concept of simple, fresh and local ingredients. Beans, fresh vegetables, roasted meats, regional cheeses and breads, dominate the menu. The hotel’s restaurant Il Balcone di Leonina is renowned for its high quality dishes and traditional Tuscan recipes. In a rustic and elegant setting, under wood beams and stone arches you can enjoy sampling these regional delights paired with a glass of local wine.
