"Le Volte di Vico Bello" is an ancient structure comprising the outbuildings of the farm of the sixteenth-century Peruzzi Villa of Vico Bello, built on commission for the Chigi family.

In line with pure Renaissance canons, even from an architectural aspect this building and the Villa itself make up a harmonic whole.
This delightful and secluded spot was where Cardinal Flavio Chigi, nephew of Pope Alexander VII, would retire with his guests to rest and devote himself to his favourite pastime of hunting.

Recently renovated, in full respect of their original appearance, the premises are now available for reception purposes, providing an enchanting, romantic atmosphere for gala dinners and weddings, with facilities for welcoming up to 400 guests. Just 2 km from the old city centre, the estate is a sort of oasis located on a steep ridge to the north of Siena; surrounded by a splendid park, it also features an Italian garden on various levels adorned with the typical box hedges. From the upper level, where there is an artistic fountain in the form of a half-moon, we can enjoy a splendid view of the city, the Torre del Mangia and the Duomo.

On one side the large courtyard opens onto a park of ilexes, limes and horse-chestnuts known as the "English Wood" and extending over about 8,000 sq. m. To the south are the gardens which descend in terraces from the parterre adorned with huge vases of orange and lemon trees, with the various levels connected by artistic stone staircases from which we can admire the distinctive layout of the Italian garden (with flower beds bordered by box hedges). Inside the garden are fine sculptures representing the six mountains which feature on the Chigi coat-of-arms. (From the upper terrace, where there is an artistic fountain in the form of a half-moon, we can enjoy a splendid view of Siena, of the Torre del Mangia and the Duomo.) The trees, which include an imposing Ginkgo Biloba, although more recently planted, do nothing to detract from the character of the garden, on the contrary enhancing its atmospheric charm. Among the rooms in the interior are 3 large halls with high ceilings; one of these, particularly spacious and bright, also features six pillars and a sail-vaulted ceiling.
