About the hotel

Villa Armena is located in beautiful Tuscany, surrounded by a wealth of history. A creation of the noble Malavolti family in the 16th century, the original villa was designed by one of the best known architects of the Italian Renaissance - Baldassare Peruzzi. Found in the heart of Crete Senesi, an astoundingly attractive area of historical interest, the hotel was originally surrounded by age-old villas, country houses, monasteries and abbeys as well as rows of vineyards stretching for miles.

 Today you can still stand outside, in the fresh air and under the warm sun and take in the star heritage of Tuscany’s Villa Armena. Turned into a hotel after being fully restored, the exclusive boutique property is built of red brick with original oak beams and beautiful terracotta floors. The hotel offers visitors high standards of luxury and service, in line with its heritage and location. Villa Armena is only 20 minutes away from Siena and a stone’s throw from Montalcino and Val d’Orcia.

'It seamlessly intertwines 21st century comforts and the original elegance of renaissance Italy.'

Luxury Travel Magazine

'The feel is leisurely, but luxe, with a slow-food restaurant serving house-made ravioli and produce fresh from its own gardens. Eco-enthusiasts will appreciate that the resort is almost entirely self-sufficient.'
