<strong>Description:</strong><br>
The palazzo del Capitano has reappeared after an extensive and detailed restoration, as a charming hotel with eleven gracious rooms offering modern comforts whilst retaining the fascination of the ancient architecture and enhanced by furnishings following the true Tuscan tradition. The edifice which dates back to 1400 is one of the oldest in the historic centre of San Quirico d'Orcia, a small medieval village in the heart of Tuscany. At the time of its construction the palace was property of the noble Siennese Biringucci family whose family crest can still be found on the main façade on Via Poliziano. The former stables with the original vaulted ceilings have been converted into a lounge with a bar and a large fireplace. Here guests can be offered an appetising breakfast which in summer can also be served in the hotel garden. In the original wine cellar discovered during the restoration, guards a wide selection of the finnest wine of the area such as Nobile di Montepulciano or Brunello di Montalcino. A few steps away from the hotel is "Il Vecchio Forno" the hotel restaurant where typical Tuscan dishes can be enjoyed, including homemade pasta and other local delights. On cold days a bright crackling fire brings warmth and comfort whilst in summer the owners Roberto and Cosetta are happy to welcome guests in the well shaded garden. The delicate perfume of lavender bushes and aromatic herbs accompanies the wanderer during walks underneath the vine covered pergola, in the olive groves, the orchard and through the Mediterranean vegetation. In this quiet corner relaxing moments can be passed reading or sunbathing on the comfortable loungers. A delicious breakfast which can be tasted in winter in the picturesque vaulted dining room with the large fireplace. During summer breakfast could be served in the private garden of the hotel.
