The name pays homage to Ildebrando di Soana — who in 1073 became Pope Gregory VII, one of the most determined pontiffs of the medieval Church — a son of this very Maremma land. A name that roots the apartment in the religious and political history of the territory, the same history that saw the tower born as a Benedictine bell tower.
On the ground floor, the bedroom opens beneath a barrel vault, carved into the thickness of the medieval scarp, with a hexagonal terracotta floor. On the first floor, beneath brick sail vaults, the great hall with its period fireplace still holds the original marble arrow-slits — where a verse from St. Francis's Canticle of the Creatures can still be read — while the kitchen, with blue majolica terracotta tiles, occupies a separate room. Every floor has its own bathroom.
Ground floor — the bedroom
First floor — the hall with fireplace
First floor — the blue majolica kitchen
The bathroom
