Expert unbias opinions, what the press think of us
San Bruno Relais has been reviewed in the following publications:
Traveling with
the Stars: Ashley Greene
Q:
What's the best place
you've ever visited?
A:
Italy. It was for
the last week of
filming for the second
installment (New
Moon). We went to
a town called Montepulciano
in Tuscany. It was
really, really amazing.
For one, the food
is absolutely incredible.
There's no preservatives.
It's real food. I
don't even like tomatoes
and I was eating
tomatoes in Italy.
The quality is better.
They took us to this
bed-and-breakfast
called Relais San
Bruno. It's half
of the reason that
I loved and adored
the place so much.
It was an estate
that they turned
into a seven-villa
bed-and-breakfast
that's family run.
We'd get up in the
morning and run outside
on the treadmills
overlooking Tuscany
and you actually
wanted to because
it was beautiful.
They had their own
pool. It was gated
and completely private.
Every morning we'd
wake up at 7 a.m.
to a huge breakfast
with homemade breads,
cakes, meat, yogurt,
coffee and tea. And
of course they would
do the same thing
for lunch and at
dinner everyone would
get off work and
go back to this bed-and-breakfast.
They would have this
huge dinner set up.
It was like this
big family reunion.
I am definitely trying
to get back there
as soon as I'm done
working. What I like
is it's not touristy
at all. You're really
in this element.
It's not Americanized
at all. » Read

I viaggi di Repubblica - 22 September 2005
A charming Country house with a view of Montepulciano
An exquisite suite tucked away in the green hills of Tuscany.
Ones eye
glides across the lush countryside and settles
on the village of Montepulciano. The view
of the recently opened San Bruno Relais
is truly magical. Six suites immersed in
the peaceful greenery. The owner, Alberto
Pavoncelli has done exceptionally well:
the rooms have a refined simplicity, reflecting
the colours of "terra di Siena",
clay tiles and chimney, traditionally furnished
with the occasional comtemporary luxury
such as jacuzzi bath and air conditioning.
Sleep amongst the feather pillows and pure
linen bedding. The first breakfast, exquisite,
comes served in the garden or the old lemon
barn transformed into an elegant lounge.
In a secluded position, with a view of the
church of San Biagio, is the pool. The aperitif
alternates between Nobile di Montepulciano
and Brunello di Montalcino.
