8.5/10 on 4 reviews
The Villa Armena Relais is an ancient 16th-century patrician villa, expertly restored and transformed into an exclusive 5-star relais. Immersed in the iconic landscape of the Crete Senesi, in Buonconvento, the structure presents itself as an oasis of tranquility and discreet luxury. The Relais is surrounded by a large park with centuries-old cypress trees, offering an elegant and intimate refuge to explore the most authentic Tuscany.
The 10 rooms and suites are true luxury havens, furnished with antique furniture, precious fabrics, and original artworks, respecting the history of the residence. Every detail is curated to ensure maximum comfort in an environment of refined elegance. The windows offer suggestive views of the rolling Crete Senesi hills and the Relais gardens.
The Restaurant 'Il Chiostro' is the gastronomic heart of the Relais, known for its gourmet Tuscan cuisine that enhances local zero-kilometer products, including truffles, mushrooms, and prized meats. The cellar is rich in selected labels, particularly Brunello di Montalcino and Chianti Classico wines, given the proximity to the production areas. During the summer, meals are served in the outdoor cloister or in the garden.
The Relais features a magnificent outdoor pool, set in the Italian garden and surrounded by sunbeds and gazebos, offering a breathtaking view of the Crete Senesi. The experience is complemented by impeccable service and the possibility of organizing wine tastings, cooking classes, and guided tours in the Val d’Orcia and Siena, which are easily accessible.
The location is ideal for exploring the Val d’Orcia (UNESCO heritage) and its famous hamlets such as Montalcino, Pienza, and Montepulciano. The proximity to Buonconvento, one of the 'Most Beautiful Villages in Italy', adds a touch of authenticity to the stay.

His Opinion: Villa Armena, é una residenza storica eccellente sotto tutti i punti di vista; appena arrivati, la cordialità dei proprietari "la fa da padrone" che, con premura ci stavano aspettando: dobbiamo a loro, o meglio alla loro passione nonché coraggio, se questa Villa splende ancora!! Cura professionale del dettaglio: gli antichi mattoni senesi della struttura esterna ,
egreggiamente recuperati e all'interno il buon gusto con arredi , tappeti e luci creano atmosfere rilassanti. Il ristorante é molto ricercato, con piatti ottimi e genuini.
Ottima la colazione: vi é di tutto!
Staff consono alla struttura: gentilissimo e pronto ad accontentare l'ospite.
Un vivissimo plauso ad Edoardo e a sua moglie ( l'architetto che ha curato il progetto) ed un GRAZIE alla signora ( la mamma di Edoardo) che con il calore di una mamma, aspettava che la sera, tutti gli ospiti fossero rientrati in villa!!!
Struttura da non perdere.

His Opinion: Posto molto bello peccato che quando sono andato non funzionava piscina e non c'era un posto all'aperto dove poter prendere il sole e leggere un libro anche se non funziona la piscina la struttura dovrebbe avere uno spazio alternativo dove prendere il sole e rilassarsi all'aperto
