Locanda dell'Amorosa Sinalunga - Tuscany

In the middle ages, the hamlet of Amorosa formed the heart of a busy little farming community. Many of the beautifully restored buildings occupied by Locanda dell'Amorosa date back to as long ago as the 14th century and, before their recent transformation in luxurious country hotel, were used as lodgings for farm workers but also as stables, machinery stores and oil presses.

Today's guest rooms are located in the old manor house, from the windows of which marvelous views over the rolling Tuscan countryside of the Val di Chiana can be seen. Bedrooms and suites offer a pleasing combination of traditional country decor, period artworks and antiques. The gardens of the hotel, brimming with exquisitely scented mediterranean flowers and plants, provide the idyllic setting for Locanda dell'Amorosa's open air swimming pool.

Locanda dell'Amorosa is home to the highly acclaimed Le Coccole dell'Amorosa restaurant, a charming country eatery, famous for its excellent Tuscan cuisine. To accompany the immaginative seasonal menus, Le Coccole dell'Amorosa's talented sommelier has complied a particularly well-researched list of wines featuring all the finest Tuscan wines, including the Locanda's own Borgo Amorosa and Rosso dell'Amorosa.

Locanda dell'Amorosa's Osteria wine bar is the perfect place where to relax and sample some of the superb produce for which this part of Tuscany is famous. World renowned wines such as Brunello di Montalcino, Chianti Classico and Nobile di Montepulciano, delicious ricotta and pecorino cheese, savoury suasage, and organic honey and jams, all these are available for tasting but also for purchase as a special gift for those back home.

For small scale business meetings and social gatherings, Locanda Amorosa has a well appointed function room.
