The owners of Tenuta Santo Pietro recently completed a loving, and total, restoration of the property to maintain the integrity of its historic 13th-century structure. Its architecture is marked by graceful archways and enduring stone walls, while the mellowed terra cotta tiles and warm wood beams—even the fireplaces—all have been salvaged from the ruins of the old property. Amid the materials and craftsmanship of another era though, all the modern comforts will make you feel at home. The inn is fully air-conditioned (windows are also screened so you can enjoy the Tuscan air) and has wireless access and TV in every room. Each of Santo Pietro's twelve bedrooms has its own marble bathroom, and offers a welcoming bed with exquisite Italian-made linens, down pillows and comforters. An expansive manicured lawn sits off the back of the house, along with several patio areas, comfortably furnished so you can sit and look out over the terraced lawn to the pool and to the town of Pienza beyond. The pool—complete with outdoor shower—welcomes guests with lovely padded teak chaises longue and umbrella-ed tables. Its deck offers an outdoor kitchen suitable for dining in the soft evening air.
