The Steward’s Room, on the first floor of Casa Lemmi, faces directly onto Piazza Chigi and the Collegiate Church.

Now, after many conflicts over the years, peace now reigns, in an atmosphere of complete relaxation.
From the bed you can look out to the first portal of the Collegiate Church.
For those who love recollection.
For lovers, young and not so young.
For singles looking to find themselves.
For older people who are happy not to have to climb more than one flight of stairs.
Up until the 1960s the Steward’s Room was the scene of the annual meetings between farmers and their master to share out their share of the profits from the harvest.

From the beginning of the 19th century this room was used to store the family’s olive oil. It was used both in the domestic kitchens, and also channelled through pipes inside the walls to the Norman Hall, now the breakfast room, where it was put on the market.
More recently it became the bedroom of the owner’s daughter, and was known as Paola’s room.
What the room had been used for in the meantime is unknown, but it may well have been a playroom.
Now divided into two rooms, a bedroom and a living room, this a pleasant place for those who want to separate the areas where they spend their days and nights.
Suitable for families and groups of friends.

The Granary room is what remains of a large space on two floors that was dedicated to the storage of wheat grown by the owners in the Orcia Valley (Val d’Orcia).
Access was from the front, on the first floor, and the breadth of the rooms allowed the grain to be shovelled, so as to avoid health problems.
Ancient figures found under the plaster suggest that this was a Hall of Arms, dedicated in particular to fencing.
The window looks out on the Town Hall gardens, Giardino Chigi (or Horti Leonini), the new San Quirico, and, in the distance, but still clearly visible, Monte Amiata and its forests.
Below is the garden of Casa Lemmi.
The room, facing southwest, is illuminated all through the day, and is much liked by young couples, also with children, and those who love sunshine.

The name of this room derives from the tradition of placing Vin Santo (dessert wine) barrels at the highest point of the house to help the distillation process.
The old attic of Casa Lemmi, once dedicated to this art, is now an apartment, the floor space of which covers the entire width of the house, and looks out, through its small windows, on one side onto the Collegiate Church and the Town Hall (Palazzo Chigi), and on the other, Monte Amiata.
For its size, and the certain light that characterizes it, this room is much loved by romantics, while it is also equally popular with families.
