B&B LA CASA DI ASSUNTA
in the heart of a region full of history
La Casa di Assunta is one step away from all main places in the region and the hospitality you will find at her house will render even more beautiful your vacation. Full privacy guaranteed. Your sojourn at this B&B is not only a pleasant stay at the heart of a region full of history, spirituality, and natural, artistic and landsape beauty, but also a voyage into the traditional Tuscan cuisine revisited by Assunta, a passion-guided chef.
Any requests regarding food allergies or intolerance are taken care of without taking away from guests the pleasure of eating good food.
Even though the entire villa was renovated between 1995 and 1998, the red brick, beamed ceilings, and terracotta that characterize a typical peasant house were kept, yet with fixtures and fittings and all comfort, not denaturalizing though the atmosphere. In 2015 a part of the property was turned into a B&B, privileging the atmosphere with the expressive empowerment of nature, and the knowledge through the discovery of the mysteries of the unknown, without neglecting the strength of the landscape of a land where artists like Dante Alighieri, Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Galileo Galilei and Giacomo Puccini lived nearby the cities Siena, Arezzo, Firenze, Pisa, Lucca, Cortona, Pienza, Montalcino… In this area the world-wide famous vino di Muntepulciano and the renowned cheese pecorino di Pienza are also produced.
The rooms have been named after winds, and a feeling has been assigned to each of them. Come discover your own feeling!
Mistral Wind Room
The colors in this room vary from lilac to antique pink. Very bright, fully exposed to the Sun until sunset, in spring and fall best sunsets can be admired. The Mistral room has original furnishings from the early 1900’s wrought in chestnut and cherry wood. An open window renders a view over the town Montepulciano even more beautiful by night with the lights, and in the day the Siena countryside, vineyards, wheat fields and the wonderful-coloured hills changing after the seasons can be seen. The bathroom in the room has a modern furnishing with wide shower; heating plate, air conditioning system in summer.
Room Libeccio
Libeccio is the celeste room. Two celeste hues endow the room with a certain warming; this room is very luminous because it is oriented towards sunrise; the view –equally beautiful—lays over the other side of the house facing the Umbria region. A bed with wrought iron, lamps and shelves handcrafted by the most famous smith from Pienza; wide bathroom in the room with Napoleonic tub; air conditioning system in summer and heating in winter.
Garden
As you arrive in the property, you will find a large outdoor paved space, over the sides, small green gardens with olive trees and two cypress garden at the very front door. In summer the outside is furnished with rocking chairs and a hammock for you to relax and bask in the sun enjoying the tranquillity of the countryside to read or to listen to music; a small home-wood furnace completely renovated that hosted a family who baked bread for the whole week, and a little patio where you can eat and drink a nice glass of wine. Next, one gets to the rotunda where an awesome landscape can be seen. Walking down the stairs thereby a parking lot is located and from there you may watch the little vegetable garden, and orchard, and a hedge of olive trees whose olives, collected in November, produce the olive oil for the house consumption.
