Una Palazzo Mannaioni, Montaione

Palazzo Mannaioni is a residence dating back to the 16th Century. Located along the walls in the centre of Montaione, famous for the Castle of Montaione, a small medieval hamlet on top of a hill, 341 metres above sea level. We are in the heart of Tuscany, a region where there are many archaeological sites open to visitors. The Palace, built of stone and brick, is inside the village walls. Today it is completely restored and equipped with all comforts, Palazzo Mannaioni offers stays dedicated to relaxation and privacy. The hotel has two entries, the first is on Via Cresci, which you can use if you are coming from the historic centre of Montaione, through the narrow alleys, passageways, and little squares where there are artisan shops and old houses with the characteristic flower-filled balconies. The second one is on Via Marconi, where you enter directly through the Castles walls. This route passes through a lovely, Italian-style garden with a uniquely shaped swimming-pool, surrounded by lemon and orange trees in classic Tuscan urns. Today, the old elegant atmosphere remains unchanged, with the well recognized family coat of arms in the hall and the restored furniture; the decorated ceilings in the entry and the wonderful stone floor have also been maintained. Within the Hotel, all the estate properties have been restored: the old granary, the oil-mill, and the cellar dug out from the gabbro rock. Nowadays, these places serve as the American Bar, Winery and the Restaurant De Mannaioni . The extraordinary ambience is enhanced by attention to every detail, giving guests an unforgettable staying.
