B&B Casa Lemmi (B&B and Homes) San Quirico d'Orcia

A B&B with a spa in the cellar: now that's luxury!

Three reasons why you'll love it here

1. A period B&B with indoor swimming pool and spa, in Val d'Orcia
2. The typical Tuscan breakfast served on the Terrazza Verde
3. Suites with view of San Quirico's Collegiata church

In the heart of Tuscany's Orcia valley, in the meticulously-conserved hilltop town of San Quirico d'Orcia, Casa Lemmi is no ordinary bed and breakfast.

A history for hospitality

The palazzo now occupied by B&B Casa Lemmi, is believed to be even older than the Collegiata di San Quirico, the beautiful 11th century Romanesque-Gothic church located directly opposite.

Over the centuries the palazzo has served as a retreat for the Knights Templar, a hospital, a convent and, from the 18th century onwards, as the sumptuous home of one of the region's wealthiest landowners

Recent subject of an extensive restoration project, which included the discreet integration of the modern technology essential to today's travelers, the interiors of Casa Lemmi now contain a winning combination of authentic period charm and contemporary comfort.

Stairway to heaven

An antique stairway dating back to the Norman period, leads to Casa Lemmi's surprisingly spacious bedrooms and suites, all of which have been individually decorated and furnished in traditional Tuscan style.
A number of rooms have views of the Collegiata di San Quirico, others look out over the gently rolling Tuscan countryside and Monte Amiata.

Depending on the weather, breakfast is served either in Casa Lemmi's Sala Normanna or outdoors, in the Terrazza Verde: a small internal courtyard, brimming with beautiful flowering plants

Treasure in the cellar

Even if they don't bat an eyelid at Casa Lemmi's time-worn terracotta floors, ancient wooden ceiling beams and period artworks; guests' jaws never fail to drop when they discover that, in the basement of this medieval palazzo, there's a swimming pool!

A welcome surprise, the B&B's Carpe Diem wellness center, located in the cellars of the palazzo, features a heated, salt water swimming pool and an impressive spa menu
