Certosa di Pontignano: Historical Residence, Monumental Cloisters, and Siena View
The Certosa di Pontignano Residenza d'Epoca is a historical dwelling of inestimable value, located on the Sienese hills, a few kilometers from Siena, in the heart of Chianti Classico. Founded in 1343, this former Certosa (Charterhouse) is a unique place where the harmony of nature merges with the solemnity of history. It serves as the Official Conference Center of the University of Siena and is a "Place of Charme" offering exclusive stays, weddings, and events.
