Behind The Brand

What was the initial spark for the property and how did it all begin?

Nestled within the enchanting landscapes of Val d’Orcia, the Vitaleta Chapel stands as a timeless testament to Tuscany’s architectural and cultural heritage. Perched on a gentle hill, this small yet iconic chapel captivates with its simple yet elegant design, featuring a slender bell tower against the backdrop of rolling hills and cypress trees.

Built in the 16th century, the Vitaleta Chapel is dedicated to the Virgin Mary, and its charming exterior is adorned with soft hues that seamlessly blend with the natural surroundings. Despite its modest size, the chapel’s interior exudes a serene atmosphere, offering a quiet refuge for contemplation.
The real magic unfolds, especially during sunrise or sunset, when the warm Tuscan light bathes the chapel in a golden glow, creating a truly captivating spectacle. The Vitaleta Chapel, with its timeless charm, serves as an ideal venue for both religious and civil weddings, as well as special events.
