Borgo Tepolini (Bed & Breakfast) Castel del Piano

Over the centuries surprisingly little has changed in Val d'Orcia Grossetana. In this corner of Tuscany life continues to reflect the changing of the seasons and it is still possible to find places like the 17th century Borgo Tepolini, a bed & breakfast in the countryside just outside the pretty town of Castel del Piano, where each and every guest is welcomed with a friendly smile and a glass of good wine.

Borgo Trepolini is the ideal choice for those who love traveling and, at the same time, seek the comfort of a home from home. Each of the B&B's four bedrooms contains features typical of Tuscany's old rural residences, such as exposed wooden beams, peperino stone walls, antique mirrors and wrought iron beds. Equipped with hotel standard amenities, all bedrooms have hypoallergenic mattresses, LCD televisions and wireless internet connectivity.

After a generous breakfast of typically Tuscan treats, guests are free to relax by the outdoor swimming pool or in the small living room, which contains an excellent collection of books. Borgo Tepolini's public rooms are used for tastings of local gastronomic products. In the cellars, a superb selection of Tuscan wines, including the finest vintages of Brunello di Montalcino, Chianti Classico and Morellino di Scansano, is housed.

In the countryside surrounding the bed & breakfast, numerous itineraries through the chestnut woods of Castel del Piano, the Monte Labbro nature reserve, and the Monte Amiata wildlife park will keep walkers and cyclists happy for hours. Holidaymakers eager to combine a vacation in Tuscany with a relaxing spa break will want to pay a visit to the nearby thermal towns of Bagno Vignoni and Chianciano Terme.

1. A country house in the heart of Val d'Orcia Grossetana.
