Overlooking the Val di Chiana valley, Sabryna sits slightly back from the country road that connects the wine capital of Montepulciano to the healing spas of Chianciano Terme, just minutes by car from either location.
Spacious and comfortable, Sabryna spans the entire second story of a contemporary home blessed with an elevator. The friendly owners who live on the ground floor produce excellent wines and oils available for purchase. A short path leads to their B&B in 100 yards that is open from May to October. Guests of Sabryna are welcome to use the hotel's pool and make a reservation for family style feasts in the dining room. Numerous Parker guests claim this family run restaurant to be the best meal and value in all of Tuscany. A second dining option on-site is a small, trendy bistro and wine bar just in front of Sabryna open for lunch and dinner.
Each bedroom comes with its own bathroom and two of them feature Jacuzzi tubs. Gleaming marble floors and large screened windows in the bedrooms and kitchen add plenty of sunshine to Sabryna's many modern comforts. Stone arched doorways, fireplaces in the living and dining rooms and country antiques provide charm as well. With all of the above, Sabryna makes for quite a pleasurable stay at an exceptional price.
Just over half a mile away is tiny San Albino with a restaurant and a good pastry shop. A five minute drive leads to Montepulciano with world class wines, more dining options and a Thursday morning open air market; Pienza, known for its beauty and pecorino cheese: 15; the entrance to the A1: 20. Hourly trains from Etruscan Chiusi, 25 minutes away, reach Rome in an hour or Florence in 90 minutes; Montalcino's Brunello wines or Cortona's antique shops: 40; Siena, Perugia or Orvieto: 60; Florence: 90; Rome 120.
