Relais Villa Baldelli dates back to 1600 and still carries the name of the local family which owned the villa. The owners bought the building, in it??s abandoned state, a few years ago with the intention of restoring it to its former glory and tranforming it as a charming ??relais?? with every modern comfort whilst faithfully keeping it??s original design.The external architecture remains as it was with it??s irregularly placed windows, brick arches and doorways in worked ??pietra serena??. Inside the villa, the characteristics of a bygone age have also been retained; walls in lime plaster, brick ceilings supported on chestnut beams, terracotta floors, doors and fittings, all restored using original materials, are complemented by colours, patterns and decorations of the period. The result of all this care is a delightful intimate hotel with echoes of the medieval country rhythms of life essential for a peaceful, relaxed stay.The public rooms have been restored following the same philosophy offering a well stocked bar and a comfortable, welcoming lounge with period furnishings and warmed by the large original fireplaces. The quietly elegant dining room of the ??Relais Villa Baldelli?? offers breakfast on rediscoverd traditional ingredients and flavours, with interesting creative touches. The breakfast are served on the terrace in the shade of the centuries old treesduring the warm months. In the tasting room a quality list of wines and spirits.The fifteen bedrooms created by the restoration, in the main house and in the dower house, are all different in terms of size, shape and decoration, each one elegantly furnished with antique pieces and carefully chosen fabrics which add to the beauty and atmosphere of the villa. All the bedrooms have colour satellite television, mini-bar and safe, which have been sensitively inserted into wall niches, as well as an interconnecting telephone service. The large bathrooms have either a bath or shower with hydro massage and hairdryers. All these details have been carefully studied to give a high standard of hospitality and to ensure that the Relais Villa Baldelli once found will not be forgotten, a place which you will recommend to your closest friends as a favour .
