Albergo San Lorenzo is housed in one of the oldest buildings in the village of Poppi. Thanks to a careful renovation that has maintained the characteristics of the building, inside you can breathe the authentic atmosphere of the past. The perfect blend of past and present: along the ancient stone staircase and in each of the rooms you can find a selection of works by contemporary artists that blend with the stylish furnishings, because San Lorenzo is also an art gallery.
The former church that gives the structure its name, now deconsecrated, hosts numerous exhibitions by contemporary artists from across Europe in a setting of old-world charm.
A large olive garden of nearly an acre opens between the Arno valley and the Conti Guidi Castle. A unique view for summer breakfasts under the grape arbor or for relaxing away from the hustle and bustle. The fruit trees also offer km 0 delicacies such as cherries, apples and hazelnuts.
All this fits perfectly into the village of Poppi: San Lorenzo is in fact located in the middle of the historic center, leaning on the ancient protective walls. Overlooking the majestic Castle of the Conti Guidi on one side and the Casentino valley on the other, its enviable location makes it perfect for visiting the village, going out for an aperitif or eating a typical dish, without giving up the tranquility of a secluded location.
The hotel has 10 rooms, all of which have private bathrooms with showers. To respect the distinctive style of Albergo San Lorenzo, the rooms have been furnished largely with handcrafted products from a renowned local workshop, recognized as one of the most important for artistic wrought iron craftsmanship in Italy.
A panoramic terrace and a garden of olive trees of more than an acre await you at Albergo San Lorenzo for moments of relaxation in peace and greenery.
The former 13th-century church of San Lorenzo is now used as an exhibition space for contemporary art exhibitions, concerts and private events.
