La Bandita Townhouse

Video Tour

Set inside a 500-year-old convent in the heart of Pienza, this 12-room boutique stay brings a fresh, modern edge to its historic bones. A lively restaurant and walk-out-the-door village setting make it a perfect counterpoint to a classic Tuscan countryside stay.

Convent Gone Cool

The Highs

Pienza's historic center right outside the door
Thoughtful modern design with bold metalwork and original convent details

Stuff You Should Know

This is the antidote to the isolated Tuscan villa: step outside and Pienza’s cafés, wine bars and pecorino cheese shops are right there. The trade-off is obvious — no pool, no gym and most rooms don’t get the Val d’Orcia money shot. Walk a block and the view problem disappears; book one of the higher suites if you want it from bed. Pienza is pedestrianised, so expect bag drop near the hotel and parking outside the historic centre. The building is old and deliberately irregular, with different room layouts. Best as a two- or three-night, not your entire Tuscan week.

Food + Drink On-site surprises

Tuscan classics get a modern spin

Townhouse Caffè is consistently described as one of the most popular restaurants in Pienza — not just among hotel guests, but as a go-to for locals too. The kitchen keeps things local and unfussy: Tuscan classics, handmade pasta, shareable small plates, Pienza pecorino cheese and casual dishes like burgers, all built around seasonal ingredients. The wine list leans heavily into Tuscany, with plenty from the surrounding Val d’Orcia. An open kitchen adds to the energy, and dinner has a lively, social feel rather than hushed hotel dining. Breakfast is included, while Pienza’s cafés, wine bars and trattorias give you plenty of alternatives within an easy walk.
