Casa Lemmi

概要

In San Quirico D’Orcia… originally designed rooms “with a view” – recently refurbished as “works of art” dedicated to hospitality.
The interior of “Casa Lemmi”… originally Norman and dating back to the beginning of the last millennium, facing the Collegiata Church on one side and Mount Amiata on the other.
Directly in front of the Collegiata Church of San Quirico D’Orcia stands “Casa Lemmi”, inhabited for over a millennium and originally Norman, once the refuge of the Knights Templar, Imperial residence, a guest house, convent, fortified house, and for at least three hundred years, the home of the owner of a nearby estate in the Val D’Orcia.
In a separate wing, once used for agricultural purposes, there are now guest rooms.
The rooms open off a stairwell which rises towards a bright, sunny dome. The stairwell was originally Romanesque but has been altered many times over the course of time until it gained its present appearance in the nineteenth century. The exterior, like secret eyes, looks out at the noteworthy monuments of San Quirico and the Val D’Orcia.
There are three double rooms, one junior suite, and five suites, all distinguished by their décor and furniture. In the nineteenth century these rooms were part of the family home. Today they are equipped with every modern comfort and convenience: telephone, minibar, safe, satellite television, internet connection, bathroom with shower or bath, hairdryer, and heating and air conditioning. The rooms are spacious and pleasant, permitting the guest to feel quite at home.
An abundant breakfast, served in the garden or in the Norman room, facing the west door of the Collegiata, is included.
Guests can park in the immediate vicinity of “Casa Lemmi”. The appropriate parking permit will be forwarded by email.
In Palazzo Lemmi, until recently the home of the owners, the original guest rooms, two large suites, the “Imperial” and the “Collegiata” on one side and a double room called the “Blue room” on the other, open off a large staircase.
The “Imperial” suite has a balcony overlooking the Collegiata Church and a large travertine marble fireplace in Romanesque-Gothic style like the church outside. The Emperor Frederick I (Barbarossa) may have slept in this room, whence it derives its name.
The “Collegiata” suite looks down on both the Collegiata Church and Palazzo Chigi, giving the impression of a view of these buildings from above.
The double room which looks straight out at Monte Amiata is called the “Blue” room, for the colour of the décor resembles the colour of the mountain on a sunny day.
Casa Lemmi offers its guests the possibility to combine their booking in one of their suites, with the collection of a “3-Door, manual Lancia Y with air conditioning”, from any car hire company collaborating with AutoEurope located in Italy, reimbursing the cost at the moment of departure
