Una dimora dell’ordine dei Templari di Malta

Un luogo magico
Dove la storia si manifesta

Abbadia Sicille è un antico borgo che si trova nel comune di Trequanda, in provincia di Siena, sulle colline che separano la Val di Chiana dalla Val d’Orcia, in un territorio tra i più ricchi di tesori storici ed artistici. Le origini antichissime, di epoca etrusca, sono testimoniate dal nome “Sicille” e da alcuni ritrovamenti. Diviene “Abbazia” con la fondazione della chiesa e della “fattoria fortificata”, intorno all’anno mille, ed è appartenuta ai monaci Templari prima e poi agli Olivetani.
La struttura “leopoldina” del casale che fa parte integrante del borgo rappresenta l’importante ampliamento effettuato nel XVIII secolo.

“Abbadia Sicille Relais” è situato all’interno del borgo, con gli alloggi realizzati nel casale settecentesco con doppio loggiato, e le sale che si affacciano su un suggestivo chiostro interno. Nel borgo di Abbadia Sicille si trova la chiesa di S.Maria a Sicille, che reca sul portale la data di edificazione nell’anno 1263 d.c..Le “Croci di Malta”, simbolo dei Templari, e lo stemma Olivetano scolpiti sulla facciata della chiesa ne testimoniano l’appartenenza agli antichi ordini monastici. All’interno si possono ammirare affreschi quattrocenteschi di scuola senese. La chiesa è tuttora consacrata e si celebrano regolari funzioni.

Tuscany in a Balloon

Tuscany by Balloon: Val d’Orcia and Valdichiana

We take off at dawn, between 6 and 7 am depending on the season. Early morning flights usually present no problems, whereas flying in the afternoon would be dangerous due to the strong winds from the Tyrrhenian Sea that do not die down until the evening. The operation to prepare the hot-air balloon takes about 30 minutes, and we return mid-morning.

The flight takes about an hour and a quarter and culminates with a toast at the landing site with sparkling wine and a selection of snacks with regional products and desserts. We then load all the equipment onto our vehicle with a trailer that follows the flight from the take-off site and with the passenger vehicle we return together to the departure site. As far as possible, we retrace the same route of the flight, so that you can see from the ground what you have just seen from above.

Breakfast
The snack organised at the landing site at the end of each flight consists of a variety of pastries, bread, pizza, -all freshly brought in from our village bakery. We also offer a typical delicatessen with ham, various salamis and cheeses, and seasonal fruit. All products are fresh from local places, and are paired with award-winning Ferrari Brut sparkling wine.

The Landscape
The region we fly over is located in the Crete Senesi, about 50 km south of Siena. It is an area of gentle hills, separated by steep valleys, with many villages of Etruscan origin, castles and isolated farms. To the east and west are two villages known throughout the world for the wine produced there: Montepulciano and Montalcino. To the south is Pienza with the Val d’Orcia. Tuscany Landscape- A chain of wooded hills about 8 km long and at an altitude of about 305 metres separates the Crete di Senesi from the Val di Chiana. This is a very cultivated area, but in the end you always find a place to land! After finding the perfect landing spot and passing castles and villages that have not changed in centuries, we can chat with farmers who are pruning olive trees or tending vineyards. The landscape is really well preserved and is a wonder to behold.

Reservations and other information
Feel free to call me if you need any other information, e.g. tips for overnight stays and suggestions for things to do and see in the area. Besides English, I speak Italian, German, and Dutch fluently, with a fair knowledge of Spanish.
