An ancient 14th-century Carthusian monastery turned into a haven of charm: La Certosa di Maggiano is not simply a luxury hotel—it is a place with a soul, where seven centuries of history, timeless design, and deeply personal hospitality come together to create one of Tuscany's most authentic luxury experiences. Each room and suite is unique, telling stories of stone, wood, and fine fabrics, where tradition meets refined design. Cloisters, secret gardens, and the still-active church evoke a sense of intimacy and reflection, offering guests an authentic Tuscan experience.

The cuisine celebrates local flavors with a creative touch, while private events and weddings find here an extraordinary stage infused with atmosphere and authenticity.

What truly elevates the experience is the warm hospitality and discreet attention of the dedicated team, whose passion and care transform every stay into something deeply personal. At La Certosa, every detail counts — from a thoughtful gesture to a perfectly timed smile — ensuring that guests feel not only welcomed, but genuinely cherished.

What makes La Certosa di Maggiano so extraordinary?

1. A Living Monastery with More Than 700 Years of Hospitality
Founded in 1316, La Certosa di Maggiano is not simply a historic building converted into a hotel. Hospitality has been part of its identity for over seven centuries, creating an atmosphere that feels authentic rather than recreated.

2. Luxury with Soul
What guests remember most is not the décor but the people. The team combines heartfelt warmth with impeccable professionalism, creating a rare feeling of being welcomed into a private home while enjoying the standards of a five-star boutique hotel.

3. Timeless Design by Renzo Mongiardino
The interiors are unlike those of any other Tuscan hotel. Renowned set designer and architect Renzo Mongiardino transformed the former monastery into a masterpiece where history, colour, art, and contemporary comfort coexist in perfect harmony.

4. A Peaceful Sanctuary Just Minutes from Siena
Just minutes from Siena’s historic center, only 2 km from Piazza del Campo, guests enjoy the best of both worlds: immediate access to one of Italy's most beautiful medieval cities and the serenity of private gardens, cloisters, vineyards, and olive groves surrounded by the Tuscan countryside.

5. A Place That Feels Timeless
La Certosa embodies a different vision of luxury—one defined by authenticity, beauty, and a genuine sense of place rather than ostentation. It is a hotel where time slows down, every space tells a story, and guests leave feeling they have experienced the true spirit of Tuscany.

To stay at La Certosa is to indulge in the luxury of time: strolling among olive trees and vineyards, unwinding by the pool overlooking Siena’s rolling hills, and breathing in the beauty of a place suspended between past and present
