Rooms

Ricavo is an ancient hamlet composed of several different buildings, which means that also the guest rooms are distributed in different buildings throughout the compound. The rooms are charming, and most are decorated in a typical Tuscan style, whilst 3 are decorated with modern décor. Please specify when booking whether you would prefer one queen-size bed or twin beds. The standard rooms are located on the first floor and are accessible via the stairs. There are no elevators at the hotel. Several of the rooms are interconnected. These are available on request and subject to availability. Several rooms allow additional occupancy for a child and have the capacity for an extra bed. As not all rooms allow occupancy of more than 2 people, these rooms are strictly on request and subject to availability.

Hotel details

In the main house are 3 lounges, one of which contains a cosy fire place and a well-equipped library. There is also a Wi-Fi zone, a restaurant and coffee shop/bar. It is essential to arrive by car and to have your own means of transportation during your stay. The hotel does not provide a shuttle service and there is no public transport to and from the hotel. It is fun to hop from hill town to hill town. All hill towns can be easily reached by car; whereas local bus transportation is slow and inefficient, meeting the needs of commuting scholars only.
