Castel Pietraio is situated in Tuscany, one of the richest italian regions for its history and traditions, and exactly in the territory of Monteriggioni few kilometres far from Siena and San Gimignano. It stately rises with its ancient walls and towers, withnesses of its glorious past, at the foot of Mount Maggio, in the Sienese Montagnola. It is easy to get there from the exit Monteriggioni on the motorway from Florence to Siena (the so-called Autopalio) and then following the directions Strada Statale n° 541 to be found at about two kilometres far from the old village of Badia Isola.
You can spend romantic stays or just week-ends in the suggestive framework of the artistic and historic Tuscany, sleeping in precious rooms inside a seventeenth century building in the old village of Castel Pietraio. For those ones who appreciate old smells which remind of ancestral memories of wood and resin,of lac and wax, here are the original stone-made tuff plastered walls,the ceilings with chestnut girders and stringers and terracotta tiles, according to the Tuscan Renaissance tradition; the floors reproduce designs of those Renaissance times and the bathrooms suites are made of Carrara marbles with old style fittings.
