The wing of the building which was once used for agricultural purposes has been restored and converted in charming guest accommodation. Cleverly designed so as to offer the utmost in comfort and modern conveniences, Casa Lemmi has individually appointed and wonderfully spacious bedrooms and suites, decorated in traditional Tuscan style and featuring magnificent exposed wooden beam ceilings. The "Imperial" suite, with huge travertine marble fireplace, leads out on to a balcony overlooking the Collegiata Church.

Each morning guests are served a generous breakfast either in the "Sala Normanna" or, in warm summer months, in the delightful courtyard garden. Whatever the weather, guests can swim in the beautiful indoor pool located in the palazzo's ancient cellars.
