This Inn is a farm house which was built in the early 1800.
Bandita means an area in which hunting, fishing and the grazing of cattle is prohibited.
It is therefore a natural reserve.
Our family comes from this area and has lived here since 1975.
Since 1988 we have been offering our guests the possibility of a peaceful and relaxing stay in one of the most beautiful areas of the Tuscany countryside: the Val di Chiana.
Love for the countryside, gardening and outside lifestyle characterises our life and our inn-keeping business.
We aim to transmit to our guests, our love for the simple and genuine things in life which are reflected in our style of service, both friendly and spontaneous, and also the type of hospitality offered.
The atmosphere at the bandita (inn) is a familiar and relaxing one and we try to make our guests feel at home.
The Locanda is made up of nine welcoming bedrooms, seven of which can be found on the 1st floor of the main building, while the other two are situated on the ground floor, with direct access to the courtyard and the pinewood.
The bedrooms are furnished both simply and romantically with old and antique furniture.
Two of the bedrooms on the 1st floor look out over a balcony with flowers.
From the "Torre" bedroom, thanks to its internal staircase, you can reach the bathroom which is situated in the roof "pigeon loft" of the house.
From the large windows of this very spacious and well illuminated room, you can enjoy a fantastic birds-eye view of the Tuscany countryside.
All the bedrooms have private bathrooms, with hair-dryers and heating, while the beds are fitted with very comfortable orthopaedic mattresses and bases.
The dining room is situated in a part of the old cattle-shed of the old building and has a pleasant atmosphere, characterised by a large fire-place and few tables.
This room looks out onto the internal courtyard of the estate and in the summer it is possible for guests to eat and enjoy the restaurant outside.
The Locanda kitchen offers a menu which is based on seasonal and locally grown produce, such as the "Chianina" beef, the Cinta senese (pork), extra virgin olive oil and local sheep cheese (consumed with a glass of Verduzzo dolce Dulcedo wine).
All served with herbs and fresh vegetables from our vegetable garden.
The wine list however offers a large selection of great red Tuscany wines.
Many are the choices of dishes available in the restaurant to tantalise the guests with tastes and flavours of Tuscany cooking: amongst the pasta courses the presence of Pici (pasta) with Cinta Senese cheek, artichokes and broad beans, and Paccheri (pasta) of Val d’Orcia with peas and matured ricotta cheese.
The main courses are particularly tasty of which the most important are the pork spare ribs with fennel flowers and home grown olives, sliced beef with green salad, green pepper and rucola salad sauce, and for fish lovers, fillet of fish with artichokes cooked in Vernaccia wine sauce.
Amongst the home-made puddings prepared, the choice starts with cantucci with Vin Santo wine, plain dark chocolate Tuscany cake with Pistacchio ice-cream, warm apple cakes with cinnamon cream sauce and other delicious specialities. |
