La Collegiata
High on a hill with a splendid view of the towers of San Gimignano, immersed in a park of centuries-old cypresses, lies La Collegiata
(member of Relais & Chateaux).
The building, erect in 1587 as a convent for the order of the Franciscan Cappuccini fathers, is today an exclusive 4 star deluxe hotel. The driveway leads to a beautiful italian-style garden opposite the ancient building, whose warm, sober tones of pietra serena blend in perfectly with the shapes and proportions of Tuscan Renaissance architecture. The entrance hall leads to the Cloister, around which open the Reception Rooms, the Library, the Fireplace Room, the Coffee Room and other areas for meetings and banquets.
