If anyone is researching places to stay/dine in central Italy, I would highly recommend you take a look at the Palazzo del Capitano & al Vecchio Forno.
The edifice which dates back to 1400 is one of the oldest in the historic center of San Quirico d’Orcia, a small medieval village in the heart of Tuscany. At the time of its construction the palace was property of the noble Siennese Biringucci family. The "palazzo del Capitano" is a charming hotel with eleven rooms. The "Trattoria Al Vecchio Forno" is a traditional Tuscan restaurant with 2 dining rooms placed on two floors. It boasts a Fireplace in Tuscan rustic style for the winter nights and a delightful blooming garden for the summer time. I am particularly fond of dining in the garden. Below is a short video segment that I took on my first visit to the restaurant:
The Palazzo del Capitano lies in San Quirico d’Orcia a beautiful medieval town in heart of Tuscany near Pienza, Montalcino and Montepulciano. Its roughly 2 hours north of Rome and 2 hours south of Florence. I have included a map below.
