Il Giardino is placed on an isolated and quiet hill, immersed in the green luxuriant Tuscan countryside, in the heart of the Val d'Orcia between San Quirico and Montalcino. Il Giardino is an old Leopoldino villa of unique architectural style, with the original structure dating to the 16th century, that has been completely renovated. Old family furniture and antique pieces have been chosen to furnish the house, giving it a well-kept and refined, warm and comfortable appearance. Just a few metres from the main house is the SPA , an annex of 150 sq m, with a gym and relaxation area with large Turkish bath and Jacuzzi for 4 people, heated throughout the year. Its strategic position allows guests to make daily excursions to Montalcino, Pienza, Montepulciano, Siena, Florence and the principal Tuscan towns and, for those wanting to spend a day at the seaside, the beautiful beaches of Monte Argentario and Marina di Grosseto are not too far away.
