Notes

The floors throughout are restored antique terra cotta tile. Ceilings on the upper level are open to the traditional rafters and hand-made cotta tiles, which have been beautifully refinished. In the former cantina, one wall of which is exposed antique brick, old wooden beams and cotta tile also form the ceiling. The rest of the walls have been painted with traditional lime-based paint with pigment. The two double bedrooms are furnished with antique cast-iron beds (and very comfortable modern mattresses!). The smaller bedroom contains a “French double” (three-quarter) futon bed which can be easily folded into a sofa.  Old Tuscan furniture throughout is supplemented with comfortable modern seating.

Windows look out over the terra-cotta tiled rooftops of medieval Sarteano, just under the ruined castle walls. Don’t miss the old stone lion which guards the gable of a rooftop outside the kitchen window.
