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. Hospitality is provided in settings that maintain the charm of the monastic structure, immersed in an exceptional landscape.

Accommodation: Historic Rooms and Apartments in the Cloister

The accommodation offer is divided into various types of rooms and apartments, distributed between the main Villa and the Cloisters. The accommodations are furnished in style with antique furniture and details that recall the history of the place. The Superior Rooms and the Junior Suite, located on the noble floor of the Villa, offer a splendid view of the Italian Gardens and Siena. The Apartments are located in the Great Cloister, ideal for families or long stays. Amenities include: Private bathroom, air conditioning (in most rooms), courtesy set, and Free Wi-Fi.

Gardens, Historic Cloisters, and Tuscan Dining

The Certosa is an architectural masterpiece with three distinct Cloisters (the Main Cloister, the Lay Brothers' Cloister, and the Great Cloister) and magnificent Italian Gardens that overlook the Sienese countryside. These spaces offer a tranquil environment for walks and moments of contemplation. The Restaurant "Il Chiostro di Pontignano" offers cuisine that celebrates Tuscan tradition, with à la carte menus and tasting options, all served in a refined and historic atmosphere. Guests can enjoy the included breakfast and a bar for aperitifs in the Lay Brothers' Cloister.
