Within the Renaissance hill town of Pienza, La Bandita Townhouse occupies a former convent on a narrow cobbled street overlooking the Val d’Orcia. Twelve rooms combine exposed beams, stone walls and pale contemporary furniture, preserving the irregular scale of the old building without turning it into a period interior. The Townhouse Caffè centres on an open kitchen and seasonal Tuscan cooking, with tables spilling into a small garden. A library and lounge create quieter shared spaces, while windows, terraces and old masonry keep the hotel closely tied to Pienza’s compact streets and surrounding agricultural landscape.
