This was a monastery  built in 1314 with funds donated by Cardinal Ricardo Petroni, was a place designed for meditation and prayer. 
In the XVI century the Certosa di Maggiano was partially destroyed in the terrible war between Spain, headed by the Emperor Charles V, and France under Enrico II.
This hotel, completely renovated in January 2003, maintains intact the charm and class for which it has become renowned worldwide.

All of the rooms have been fully renovated, 14 of these with parquet floors and bathrooms with tub and shower in marble.
Our Deluxe room, the "Green Room," deserves special mention for its walls covered in hand-embroidered tapestries, antique dresser from the epoch of Louis XVI, and a completely restored bathroom with hand-decorated wall coverings and marble tub and shower.

The grounds are vast and among the olive groves and vineyards one finds our tennis court, helicopter landing, and a heated, open-air pool. Near the pool there is also a small fitness room.

Breakfast is served in a historic kitchen, decorated in a rustic style with age-old tree branches, and in its adjoining patio.
During the summer, restaurant service is available at the colonnaded porch near the pool, for those who wish to dine casually. Dinner, instead, depending upon the season, is either served in the small, exquisite dining room, or under the arches of the central cloister. A certain elegance in attire, even if informal, is requested.

A wide selection of Italian specialties is offered
according to season, and in accompaniment guests
will find a careful selection of Italian wines, particularly
Tuscan red wines.
