History
Monteverdi Tuscany is an albergo diffuso created by American business lawyer Michael L. Cioffi, who first came to the tiny medieval hamlet of Castiglioncello del Trinoro (about 800 metres up in the Val d'Orcia) in 2003 and opened the hotel in 2012. His diffused-hotel concept restored the depopulating village into a luxury retreat spread across its stone buildings.
With 30 rooms and three villas, the restorations were led by Roman designer Ilaria Miani, while the communal spaces including the Oreade restaurant, Osteria Zita and an art gallery were shaped by Foster + Partners. Oreade holds two Michelin stars under chef Riccardo Bacciottini.
