Strategically located just over a hundred meters from the historic center of Subbiano, this hotel enables easy exploration of the Casentino area. The air of another era is palpable here, as the environment carefully incorporates the classic style of Casentino with several iconic objects of modernism, particularly from the 1950s. The collection of retro items infuses the space with a distinct character that feels both authentic and meticulously curated.

The building where Locanda di Santantimo is housed today was initially built in the 17th century, on top of the remains of S. Antimo. An old convent was also perched there, but none of its remains are left today. The area around the accommodation is also rife with history and culture, as many historic buildings and sites are still around. The accommodation was renovated in order to be turned into a hotel, but its exterior appearance and medieval charm and character were maintained intact.
