The Villa of Relais Certosa originated as the guest quarters of the Certosa dei Galluzo Monastery, one of the most important monasteries in Europe, a destination of pilgrimages and which hosted hundreds of religious scholars, and, before the Napoleonic pillages, preserved over 500 exquisite works of art where even today one can admire them when visiting this antique Monastery, still occupied by the Cistercian monks.

It was renovated along with other buildings on the
property to make a total of 63 rooms and 6 suites, some decorated
in rustic Tuscan style and some modern. The rooms and suites overlook the magnificent park setting surrounding them, and have a view of the Tuscan hills and the Certosa. |

Ristorante 21, found in Hotel Mediterraneo,
is an example of pure Italian Art Deco style; dining room adorned
with mosaics, above all the inspired hunting scene of D'Urso, woodwork
and marble busts of Roman Emperors. Refined environment, warm and
welcoming maintaining the original style of a time when traditional
Italian cuisine discriminately dominated. Also open to the clientele
of Hotel Atlantico, part of the Group Bettoja, adjoined to the Hotel
Mediterraneo and accessed internally. |
