Il Patriarca
About
Villa Il Patriarca is a stunning 4‑star country estate tucked between the heart of Chiusi, the Val d’Orcia and the fertile Val dichiana, offering the perfect blend of historic charm and Tuscan luxury. The villa—originally an Etruscan residence and later a 19th‑century Liberty‑style mansion—has been meticulously restored, featuring elegant stucco, damascened walls and the iconic Seventeenth‑Century tower, while still boasting modern amenities and a panoramic private park. Guests can choose from 24 tastefully appointed rooms and five exclusive suites, including the famed Fellini & Masina suite that pays homage to the legendary filmmaker and his wife. All rooms combine traditional Tuscan décor with high‑end furnishings, ensuring a relaxed yet refined stay. Dining at Il Patriarca is a gastronomic highlight. The Michelin‑starred restaurant I Salotti, helmed by renowned chef Katia Maccari, reinterprets Tuscan classics with creative flair, while the rustic Taverna del Patriarca offers authentic, locally sourced dishes in the historic cellar. Both venues provide an intimate culinary journey complemented by a curated wine list. Beyond the rooms and restaurants, the villa invites guests to unwind in its four‑hectare park, complete with a travertine infinity pool open from June to October. Guests are also treated to unique experiences such as truffle‑hunting adventures, cooking classes with Chef Maccari, vineyard tours in Montepulciano, and private sky‑decorated visits to the historic gardens. All of these elements combine to make Villa Il Patriarca a sought‑after destination for culture, nature, and sophisticated relaxation.
