The Palace
The San Biagio Relais is a Design Hotel located in the historic centre of Orbetello. It has imposing, thick stone walls and was formerly an aristocratic residence or palazzo whose construction probably dates back to the late 15th century. Its current eclectic-historic style is the result of a major nineteenth-century refurbishment which can be seen in its ashlar façade, the projecting string courses and the interior decoration. Nowadays the building is connected to the adjacent Palazzo Pretorio, which also dates from the 15th century.
The style
By careful studying their architecture, the two buildings were converted into a hotel without losing the original spaces, with their high, luminous frescoed ceilings. Some beautiful rooms were created, each of which is different from the others. All of them, however, have great charm thanks to the care taken with their design. Antique furniture and paintings have been carefully integrated with functional objects and furnishings of modern designers, such as Philippe Starck tables, Cattelani & Smith light fittings and Artemide table lamps. These give this Boutique Hotel a lovely atmosphere making you feel completely at home.
The Restaurants
The two former palazzi are linked by two communal courtyards in the centre of the building and by a kitchen garden which has been converted into a patio. This area, which is cool and well ventilated, is mainly used by the guests and it is the setting for the two restaurants: La Corte Restaurant, where you can taste some typical Tuscany food, and the Hosteria Pirandello.
