Special Features
This unique wedding destination was the place for a NBC Nightly News film shoot in 2002. NBC did a featured program on Italian Destination Weddings while a gala weddings was celebrated at this Tuscan marriage location.
As you arrive your eyes will take in one of the jewels of Tuscany, a former convent dating back to 1587, now elegant hotel. This beautiful red brick and pietra serena structure is a delightful setting for your stay in Tuscany. The Italian gardens are wonderful to stroll in during the afternoons as the sun sets among the rolling hills. Enjoy an aperitif near the pool surrounded by a backdrop of cypress trees. The dining room is the former chapel, unique to say the least! Meals here change with each season and the rooms are very comfortable and large - some with Jacuzzi. Step outside and San Gimignano is just a stone's throw away.
