A restaurant and B&B in the heart of Chianti,
the pleasure of good food and Tuscan atmosphere
La Locanda di Pietracupa is a B&B in Chianti with a typical Tuscan restaurant located in San Donato in Poggio, between Florence and Siena, in the heart of the Tuscan countryside. Our mission at the Locanda is to offer a complete experience where guests can both eat in the Chianti region, discovering the flavours of typical Tuscan cuisine, and sleep in an early 1900s manor home nestled in the Tuscan hills, surrounded by the beautiful landscapes of the Siena countryside. Two brothers and their respective partners opened La Locanda di Pietracupa in 2000 – Massimiliano and Monica, Luca and Franca: all driven by their deep attachment to the local territory but, above all, two cooks united by a passion for Tuscan cuisine.
At the Locanda, you will enjoy a taste experience to remember
To stand out from the multitude of restaurants in Chianti, the goal we set ourselves every day is to ensure our guests enjoy an experience to remember. An authentic sensory journey during which you will feel pampered and satisfied not only by the typical Tuscan dishes reinterpreted by our cooks but also by the people and the welcoming and familiar environment that distinguish our restaurant in Chianti.
Terrace, Winter Garden and … our Cocktail Terrace!
The Locanda di Pietracupa has a large Winter Garden where you can taste the delicacies prepared by our cooks surrounded by the Tuscan landscape. In summer, you can enjoy the delightful and cool panoramic terrace overlooking the village of San Donato in Poggio.
In the new terrace, our corner of paradise surrounded by greenery, you can relax and enjoy a magnificent view with a nice cocktail in hand.
An experience of total immersion in the exceptional atmosphere of the Chianti hills.
Seeing is believing!
