La Bandita Country Hotel

La Bandita Country Hotel is an old farm house built in the early 1800 and restored with care and passion by its owners. With the word "bandita" it indicates a natural reserve, or territory, where it is prohibited to hunt, fish or graze cattle.

Our family comes from this area and has lived here since 1975. For the last twenty years we have offered our guests the possibility of a peaceful and relaxing stay in one of the most beautiful areas of the Tuscany countryside, the Val di Chiana. A particular link with the countryside, gardening and the outside lifestyle characterises our inn-keeping business. The love of which we try to transmit to our guests regarding the simple and genuine things in life. All of this is reflected in the style of service offered, both friendly and spontaneous.
Breakfast is included in the booking and is served in a beautiful restaurant dining area on the ground floor, or in the courtyard during the better weather. Respecting the old Tuscany traditions you can also try typical local products such as sheep cheese and cured salted ham, fresh eggs, good Tuscany bread, jams made from quince apples and figs and cakes – all home-made.

The locanda is surrounded by a large courtyard, a beautiful pinewood, lots of flowering plants and an olive grove: immersed between the olives, in a peaceful corner of the garden you will find our open-air swimming pool.

OTHER INFORMATIONS

The Locanda is made up of nine welcoming bedrooms, seven of which can be found on the 1st floor of the main building, while the other two are situated on the ground floor, with direct access to the courtyard and the pinewood. The bedrooms are furnished both simply and romantically with old and antique furniture. Two of the bedrooms on the 1st floor look out over a balcony with flowers.

From the "Torre" bedroom, thanks to its internal staircase, you can reach the bathroom which is situated in the roof "pigeon loft" of the house. From the large windows of this very spacious and well illuminated room, you can enjoy a fantastic

birds-eye view of the Tuscany countryside.

All the bedrooms have private bathrooms, with hair-dryers and heating, while the beds are fitted with very comfortable orthopaedic mattresses and bases.
