Hotel Relais Il Chiostro Di Pienza ★

Where to stay in the Tuscan hilltown of Pienza, Italy

The Chiostro di Pienza consists of 37 rooms converted from a 15th-century convent in the heart of Pienza, on the main drag just 100 yards from the cathedral on that spectacular central square.

Some of the rooms have original ceiling frescoes and old peasant-style furnishings mixed with modern touches like glass-topped coffee tables and lots of sumptuous, draped fabrics.

"Classic" rooms overlook the streets; slightly larger "Superior" rooms either the cloisters or the town; "Deluxe" rooms have sweeping views over the Val d'Orcia countryside.

You enter the hotel off the main street and via the namesake cloister with its bar and tables for light lunches (served in summertime).

In good weather, the restaurant moves out onto the terrace with its panoramic Val d'Orcia views.

There's also a swimming pool—unusual in a hotel at the center of town—and free WiFi at the reception.
