Relais La Suvera

A former medieval castle and Papal villa full of priceless treasures, Relais La Suvera stands high on a hill, overlooking rolling Tuscan countryside and Chianti vineyards.

Set around a picturesque courtyard, the Renaissance villa, a 16th century church and converted farm buildings are home to an excellent restaurant, a tranquil spa and a fascinating museum.

The rooms and suites in the villa are filled with ancestral paintings, sculptures and precious antiques belonging to the owners, Marchese Ricci and his family. Visit the private museum for an interesting insight into the family ancestry and historical characters linked to the house.

Stroll through the delightful formal gardens and discover hidden corners. Enjoy a relaxing hydrotherapy bath in the spa, set in the medieval part of the villa.

Then, visit nearby Siena or San Gimignano and return for an aperitif in the scented lemon garden before dining in the 18th century.
