Pandora Hotel
Quiet enough to hear the cicadas. Old enough to feel inevitable.
A 16th-century estate in Val d'Orcia. Forty hectares, twenty-four suites, a chapel from 1567.
The estate
An estate, not a hotel.
Forty hectares of working olive grove and lemon orchard, fifteen minutes from Pienza by car. The 16th-century chapel at the south end was deconsecrated in 1908 and is now ours to use.
The reception terrace overlooks the entire Val d'Orcia. On a clear day you can see the medieval villages of Bagno Vignoni and Castiglione d'Orcia from the railing.

"We were married in the chapel at sunset. Three years later, we still talk about that meal on the terrace."

Eight ways to stay
Find your room of the same estate.
The wood oven · After lunch service
The kitchen
Wood-fired, mostly from the garden.
Our chef is from Pienza, the orchard is fifteen meters from the kitchen door, and the wood oven was here when we bought the property. Most of what you'll eat was picked, baked, or pressed within sight of the dining room.
Vegetarian and vegan tasting menus are not an afterthought. They're parallel menus designed by the same team.
Six-course tasting · €110 per guest · Cellar of 4,200 bottles

The land
Three places on the estate.
The olive grove
Two thousand trees. The oil pressed in November is bottled in twenties for departing guests.
The chapel
Deconsecrated in 1908. Now used for ceremonies, vow renewals, concerts, and the occasional silent dinner.

Suite Olivo

Private terrace facing the olive grove. The bath is in the room.
Suite Limone
