HOTEL DEI CAPITANI

  Our hotel is situated in part of the eighteenth-century "Catasto Leopoldino" in the historic centre of Montalcino. However, there is reason to believe that the building may have been used since the Middle Ages (owing to its location in the vicinity of Porta Burelli) as a shelter for the Sienese people fleeing from the Florentine army. The rooms at the back afford a splendid view, taking in the Val d'Orcia and the Val d'Arbia.   Opening out onto this backdrop is a large, panoramic garden, where a swimming pool has been created to resemble a medieval fountain.   In the remaining rooms, some of which are laid out on two levels, you can breathe in the typical atmosphere of an ancient Tuscan village.
