Abbazia della Santissima Trinità di Spineta in Sarteano, open June–November.
Built in the 12th century as a Benedictine monastery, Abbazia della Santissima Trinità di Spineta has been carefully restored to operate as a hotel while preserving its medieval character and spiritual atmosphere.
Located in the rolling hills of Tuscany's Val d'Orcia region, the abbey maintains its original stone architecture, vaulted ceilings, and cloisters across its 8-hectare grounds.
The venue seamlessly accommodates weddings within its historic walls, offering guests an immersive experience in authentically preserved Renaissance Tuscany.
I stayed a week at the abbazia in August, when I took part in a Speak in Italy English language immersion programme. This was a brilliantly-organised programme in a fantastic, peaceful location. It is an ideal location for such a programme : extensive grounds for 1-1 walks, many communal rooms with comfortable seating, a nice herb garden...We had excellent meals with great seasonal vegetables and salads, served by friendly staff. An amazing experience.
