Venue description
This enchanting 16th century villa belong to the Bianchi Bandinelli Family since 1527. Renovated between the 1780 and 1790, it forms together with the surrounding garden, an unusual complex, both from the historical and landscaping point of view.
Adorned with century-old cypresses and potted lemon plants, the garden boasts a unique Green theatre where Alfieri, a friend of the family, stage some of his tragedies – equipped with two masonry proscenium arches in a late Baroque style embellished with statues and vegetable garden and a terraced fish-tank from which one can admire a wonderful view of the countryside opening out towards Siena.
We love very much this enchanting restaurant for its secluded ambience and refined atmosphere. It is the ideal setting either if you are planning an intimate candle-light dinner or an intimate wedding reception in Siena. The main dining room is a lovely medieval melange of stone, brick, wood supports, and naked rock, while the rooms back and in the basement are authentic Etruscan grottos carved from the tufa. Stunning venue that matches perfectly with the medieval feeling of Siena.
