Palazzo del Capitano Wellness & Relais in San Quirico d'Orcia.
Palazzo del Capitano stands apart in Val d'Orcia by operating as a functioning wellness retreat alongside its wedding operations, meaning your guests enjoy spa treatments and curated wellness experiences rather than standard hotel downtime.
This 16th-century palazzo has been comprehensively restored with modern luxury while preserving original architectural details, offering an authentic Tuscan borgo experience with on-site hospitality that extends beyond the ceremony and reception.
The venue's dual identity as both event space and wellness destination creates a multi-day celebration framework that justifies destination travel for your guests.
A little piece of paradise — this hotel is absolutely beautiful! Friendly, spotless, and full of class. Upon arrival, the staff warmly welcomed us and made us feel right at home. We even got a short tour of the hotel and its lovely garden with a pool. We stayed in room 27 — highly recommended! There’s even a secret little room upstairs, accessible by a small ladder, with a cozy couch where you can relax in peace. Breakfast is amazing — you can choose from four menus, and any changes you’d like are no problem. The staff makes sure you have plenty to eat and always feel welcome. You can tell they really enjoy their work and function as a great team. For lunch or dinner, simply make a reservation and enjoy delicious, authentic Italian cuisine. The reception staff are very helpful — they’ll happily explain which nearby towns are worth visiting and even show everything clearly on Google Maps. The rooms are cleaned daily to perfection by two super friendly housekeepers who are always ready to help. The location is fantastic — within 15 minutes by car, you can reach beautiful villages. All in all, an amazing hotel and truly a place I would highly recommend!
