Hotel Badia di Pomaio (Arezzo, Italy)

About Badia di Pomaio

There are moments in our life that touch eternity, moments that we bring with us for the rest of our existence. Badia di Pomaio’s purpose is to give you these defining moments. Enjoy the freedom of living in this former abbey, where history and nature come together. Sit by the pool and let the tranquillity of the woods soothe your soul. From the abbey, the countryside stretches as far as the eye can reach and it’s easy to feel at peace. Here you can find your real self and finally become a part of nature, both outside and inside the abbey. Every stone in Badia di Pomaio remembers its history. Monastic elements and a contemporary design combine to preserve the positive energy that this place still radiates. Today, the first thing guests will see upon stepping into the abbey is the embrasure on the wall opposite the doorway. When the sunlight hits it, it casts a cross over the floor. The choir, where the monks once gathered to sing and pray, and where the altar stood, is now the conference room. Its tables and armchairs are set in a circle to elicit that same atmosphere of solidarity and partnership that they shared. The arched ceilings, the old-style fountain and the ancient wooden statue of the Madonna, patron of the abbey, perfectly preserved within a niche along the stone stairways, bring back to life the aura of conviviality and fraternity that sets monasteries apart from the rest of the world. The simple elegance of the bedrooms mirrors the nature that surrounds the estate, its quietness and its humble beauty. The walls of the abbey retain the memory and the energy of the monks’ prayers and every room has its own story and its own secrets.
