• Relais San Pietro’s own virgin olive oil is offered for sale

When to go?

In spring or early summer for the gardens (heavenly scented jasmine); in autumn to avoid the heat and the crowds. It is, however, a good high-season choice – the pool, the gardens, and the quiet location offering a welcome respite after a day of tourists and hilltowns in the hot summer sun. The hotel is closed from November to the end of March (subject to annual review).
