Relais Villa Baldelli

The owners bought the building, very much appreciated, in it?s abandoned state, a few years ago with the intention of restoring it to its former glory and tranforming it as a charming ?relais? with every modern comfort whilst faithfully keeping it?s original design. Visitors appreciate the hotel dates back to 1600 and still carries the name of the local family which owned the villa. Inside the villa, highly regarded, the characteristics of a bygone age have also been retained; walls in lime plaster, brick ceilings supported on chestnut beams, terracotta floors, doors and fittings, all restored using original materials, are complemented by colours, patterns and decorations of the period.
The external architecture remains as it was with it?s irregularly placed windows, and above all, brick arches and doorways in worked ?pietra serena?.
The public rooms have been restored following the same philosophy offering a well stocked bar and a comfortable, very much appreciated, welcoming lounge with period furnishings and warmed by the large original fireplaces. The result of all this care is a delightful intimate hotel with echoes of the medieval country rhythms of life essential for a peaceful, valued throughout, relaxed stay.
The breakfast are served on the terrace in the shade of the centuries old treesduring the warm months.
The quietly elegant dining room of the ?the hotel? offers breakfast on rediscoverd traditional ingredients and flavours, and above all, with interesting creative touches.
The fifteen bedrooms created by the restoration, very much appreciated, in the main house and in the dower house, are all different in terms of size, shape and decoration, each one elegantly furnished with antique pieces and carefully chosen fabrics which add to the beauty and atmosphere of the villa. In the tasting room a quality list of wines and spirits. The large bathrooms have either a bath or shower with hydro massage and ha. All the bedrooms have colour satellite television, and above all, mini-bar and safe, which have been sensitively inserted into wall niches, as well as an interconnecting telephone service.
