After hustle & bustle of Pisa and Florence, this is a great place to unwind and relax. Drive down narrow roads to get here a bit daunting, but location is beautiful. Balcony looks out into neighboring village. Room are VERY clean & modern. Vanessa was extremely helpful with local resturaunts & tourist attractions (including discounts).

Very nice place! Big room, balcony, very clean! Nice breakfast Also the story of the place is very interesting (explained by Vanessa, who will welcome you and will help you with any need you have!)

Relax!!

Even though it has been transformed into an accommodation facility, it retains an interesting church. You enter the church of San Bernardino again from the small portico, the masonry around the entrance still retains clearly visible traces of a renovation carried out in the 12th or 13th century of the original construction, in well-squared limestone rows, connected to each other by mortar. The interior has a single nave with a barrel vault, the roof probably remained that of the original room, but nothing else recalls the antiquity of the building. On the left there is the funeral monument dedicated to Cardinal Evaristo Lucidi. Followed by an altar dedicated to San Bernardino. A beautiful eighteenth-century altarpiece separates the church from the choir, which is accessed via two small doors, in the altarpiece the Madonna and Child with Saints. On the sides two wooden statues depicting Saint Francis and Saint Clare of Assisi. On the right wall there is an altar dedicated to Saint Anthony the Abbot, unusually depicted without the usual pig. The choir behind the altar has a pleasantly decorated ceiling. To the right of the choir there are two sacristies. To the left of the entrance to the Cloister there is a small parlour, where there is a canvas depicting Cardinal Evaristo Lucidi. In the quadrangular cloister, around which the convent develops, you can see some 17th century paintings with Franciscan subjects. In the refectory of the convent, on the entrance wall there is a fresco depicting the Last Supper, dated to the 16th century, on the opposite wall Madonna and Child with Angels.

A beautiful silent place recently recovered from its wear and tear due to closure after the departure of the last nuns. Very welcoming, well renovated and with staff attentive to the guest's every need.
