The “Cristina di Lorena” suite enjoys a splendid view of the valley, and a separate area with a lounge and two marble bathrooms. The furnishings present warm shades of ivory and cream with linen to match. The hotel also offers “Queen” rooms, smaller rooms designed for those staying alone but equipped with all the comforts you would expect from the more spacious Privilege and Deluxe accommodation. And for those who do not want to leave their four-legged friends at home, there are specially designed rooms with more hygienic terracotta floors instead of the elegant carpets used in the other rooms. The Junior suites on the first floor, located in the older part of the hotel complex, are equipped with enchanting little balconies from which one can admire the gently rolling hills of the Val d’Orcia and breath the fresh Sienese air. The hotel is connected to the health farm by an internal corridor which allows customers comfortable access while still in their bathrobes and slippers.
