The palazzo del Capitano has reappeared after an extensive and detailed restoration, as a charming hotel with 17 gracious rooms offering modern comforts whilst retaining the fascination of the ancient architecture and enhanced by furnishings following the true Tuscan tradition. The edifice which dates back to 1400 is one of the oldest in the historic centre of San Quirico d'Orcia, a small medieval village in the heart of Tuscany.
In April 2008 Palazzo del Capitano offers 5 new Wellness Suites, a new lobby “Salone dello Zodiaco”, a wellness centre “The Venus’ Suite” and a new Boutique in the main street, in addition to the already existing Boutique in front of the hotel main entrance, where delicate fragrances, creams and body products made with olive oil and aloe vera can be purchased.. The Wellness Suites offer all comfort for an memorable stay, all with a queen size canopied bed, a Jacuzzi with cromotherapy bath for two people, TV plasma, mini-bar, fireplace and a marble bathroom with shower. On the ground floor our guests can relax in the new lobby “Salone dello Zodiaco” in comfortable armchair and sofa watching TV or reading a book. The SPA “Venus’ Suite” offers a Jacuzzi with cromotherapy bath with natural oil, a steam bath and wellness treatments, all in absolute privacy.
CASA CAMALDOLI - The refined and comfortable hospitality of the “ Palazzo del Capitano ” continue to “Casa Camaldoli”, an ancient dwelling of a family belonging to that rural nobility that during the centuries has contributed (helped) to the greatness of San Quirico d’ Orcia. Cassiopea, Andromeda, Auriga, Orione and Pegaso are constellations from which the 5 splendid rooms offered by the “Capitano”, take their name. From the terrace of the Pegaso junior suite guests can enjoy an enchanting view over the Orcia valley endorsed by Unesco as world-wide human heritage.
THE BOUTIQUE - Further to the numerous inquiries from our clients, we have decided to give them the opportunity to buy some of the exclusive products of the hotel. In April 2006 we have inaugurated "la boutique" a lovely and refined shop next door from the main building. Now the clients of Relais Palazzo del capitano the delicate fragrances spread in the hotel, creams and body products made with olive oil and aloe vera that can be found in the rooms, copper lamps, handmade ceramics used for breakfast, the warm colored linen fabrics. For the connoisseurs a special place is dedicated to the famous and excellent wine of the vald'orcia.
