Hotel Relais Santa Genoveffa

Hotel Relais Santa Genoveffa occupies a late-nineteenth-century estate on a hillside in Civitella Paganico, in the Alta Maremma region of Tuscany. From its elevated position, the property commands sweeping views across the valley of the Ombrone river toward the summit of Monte Amiata, with ancient woodland, flowering gardens, meadows, vineyards, and olive groves extending across the surrounding landscape. The estate’s twenty rooms each reflect the historical character of the building, with period furnishings and Tuscan detailing preserved throughout, while offering contemporary comforts and panoramic outlooks over the Maremma countryside.

Guests have access to a pool and parkland for leisurely relaxation, as well as a thoughtfully curated programme of activities. These include truffle hunting in the estate’s own woodland with Lagotto Romagnolo dogs, cookery lessons with a professional chef, sunset yoga sessions, horse-riding excursions, and guided visits to local wineries — among them producers of Brunello di Montalcino. The hotel also serves as a practical base for cycling the trails that wind through the Maremma and Val d’Orcia.

The hotel restaurant, Ristorante Santa Genoveffa, draws on locally sourced extra-virgin olive oil and seasonal vegetables from nearby growers to present a menu rooted in Maremman culinary tradition. The kitchen accommodates a range of dietary requirements, offering coeliac, vegetarian, and vegan options alongside its traditional dishes. Beyond the estate, the surrounding region provides exceptional variety: Etruscan sites, natural parks, medieval towns including Siena and Pienza, and the Tyrrhenian coastline are all within accessible reach.
