Palazzo Massaini in Pienza, open June–September.
Palazzo Massaini dates to the 16th century, originally built as a noble residence in the heart of Pienza's Val d'Orcia region.
The palazzo underwent careful restoration to preserve its Renaissance architecture while integrating modern hospitality amenities.
Today it operates as a luxury hotel and wedding venue, maintaining its historical character across 12 guest rooms within stone walls that have stood for nearly 500 years.
Fantastic location and generous service. The room was comfortable and well appointed with quality linens. Views were spectacular from our room. The warm bathroom and towel rack added to our comfort. Service at breakfast was exceptional; warm and welcoming staff. The location near beautiful Pienza was perfect; 10 minute drive into this charming town. A definite hit with us!
