ABBADIA SICILLE

A residence of the Sovereign Order of Malta

A magical place
Where history manifests itself

Abbadia Sicille is an ancient village in the territory of Trequanda, Province of Siena. It is ideally located on the hills separating the Val di Chiana from the Val d’Orcia, a territory rich in historical and artistic treasures. The village’s ancient origins, dating back to the Etruscan era, are testified by the name Sicille and by some findings. Diviene “Abbazia” con la fondazione della chiesa e della “fattoria fortificata”, intorno all’anno mille, ed è appartenuta ai monaci Templari prima e poi agli Olivetani.
La struttura “leopoldina” del casale che fa parte integrante del borgo rappresenta l’importante ampliamento effettuato nel XVIII secolo.

“Abbadia Sicille Relais” is part of this ancient village. Our accommodations are in the eighteenth-century farmhouse with double loggia, and the rooms have a great view of the picturesque inner cloister. In the village of Abbadia Sicille, there is the Church of Santa Maria in Sicille. The portal is dated back to the year 1263 AD., on its facade, the engravings of the “Crosses of Malta”, the symbol of the Templars, and the Olivetan coat of arms are evidence of its belonging to the ancient monastic orders. Inside the Church, you can admire fifteenth-century frescoes from the Sienese school. The Church of Santa Maria in Sicille is still operating with the celebration of regular Masses and weddings.
