La Bandita Townhouse is a youthful, hip hotel in the beautiful Renaissance Pienza, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Housed in a former convent the hotel has been sympathetically restored. The owner, John Voigtmann, is a former record company executive who used to manage some of the world’s top rock stars. In 2001 he and his travel writer wife decided that there was a clever business opportunity to be had opening an exclusive hotel in Tuscany that would take them away from the fast pace of life in New York.
The convent’s cells have been turned into twelve beautiful stylish suites that fuse the old with new in a minimalist fashion. From each room you it is possible to gaze down onto the cobbled streets below or across the hills of the Val d’Orcia towards Monte Amiata.
