Open All Year... The “Badia di Pomaio” was established as a monastery in 1644. A lengthy and painstaking restoration resulted in the hotel and restaurant Badia di Pomaio, a place where one can still breathe the peaceful, tranquil air of days gone by.

Hotel Overview

The Badia La Badia exudes a strong, strange energy, no doubt originating in the place itself and in those who founded it as a religious community in 1645.

Established as a venue for religious retreat, it offers to inhabitants, albeit temporary ones, a welcoming and reserved environment ideal for regenerating the spirit and enjoying natural beauty.

From its panoramic vantage point above Arezzo, it is surrounded by age-old chestnut forests, their underbrush rich with wild asparagus, mushrooms and blackberries.

During regenerative, invigorating walks, it's not uncommon to meet, in the enchantment of the surroundings, wild creatures such as porcupines, boars, squirrels and wolves.

The magnificent sunset experienced poolside is almost impossible to resist, and a candlelight dinner complements the perfect atmosphere for a romantic stay.

The experienced staff looks forward to organizing your conferences, business meetings, weddings, ceremonies and other important events.



History

Historical notes of La Badia The “Badia di Pomaio” was established as a monastery in 1644. Two brothers from Arezzo, Vallombrosan monks, Don Gregorio and Don Guglielmo Rasi, founded a new monastery using the considerable inheritance from their father, naming it after the founder of their order, San Giovanni Gualberto.

Pope Innocent X supported their efforts, transferring to the new monastery the privileges of that of San Romolo alle Pratora, the latter being in a horrible, freezing location and, moreover, in ruins. The two founding brothers were still living when another pontiff, Innocent XI, decided however to pursue the virtuous ideal of monks living together, thus abolishing all the small monasteries including the very Abbey of Pomaio.

The monastery was transformed into Grancia. Grancia was the name that monks of various orders, including that of the Vallombrosans, gave to their farms.

The Pomaio Abbey thus was transformed, in subsequent centuries from a place of retreat and prayer into one of work, the nerve center for the management of vast agricultural territories belonging to the Church.

From the second half of the 19th century it was inhabited by various sharecropper families, until the ‘60s when, with the depopulation of the countryside and the end of farming, “La Badia” was completely abandoned.

A lengthy and painstaking restoration resulted in the hotel and restaurant Badia di Pomaio, a place where one can still breathe the peaceful, tranquil air of days gone by.
