Each room has a bathroom with shower, desk, wardrobe, TV and Wi Fi internet. At our guests ' disposal there are also the kitchen, the dining room, fireplace room, a lounge, library and a friendly secret garden.
Residenza Le Antiche Mura derives its name from its location: the building, whose original core dates back to the 15th century, insists on the old walls of the village, close to the Romanesque church of San Vincenzo. The garden, the only one of its kind within the old village and not visible from the road, you configure as a terrace supported by old walls. The residence has an ancient history, evidence of which was the old community hospital, Hospice of foundlings and Trinity friars delivery. A late medieval anthropomorphic capital – at what had to be a "wheel" – evidenced by probably the ancient befotrofio function. The building was also important in nineteenth-century history of Semproniano: there indeed were founded the Philharmonic Society of Persevering (1877) and the Società Operaia di Mutuo Soccorso (1882). The centuries-old history of our residence is also remembered by the Franciscan coat of arms on the front door of the garden, which inspired us for our logo.

The Antiche Mura derives its name from the location: the building, originally built in the 15th century, rests on the old circle of walls next to the Romanesque church of San Vincenzo. The secret garden, unique in its genre within the old hamlet, is in fact a sort of ledge sustained by the walls. The building has a long and prestigious history, whose signs are visible today: in the Middle Ages it was a community hospital, an orphanage, and the Trinitarian friars ' lodging. An anthropomorphic capital – which overlooks what was probably the place for the baby hatch – recalls the old function of the building. Yet, the place was important in the 19th-century history of Semproniano as well: there were established both the Philharmonic Society "the Steadfast" (1877) – literally "those who persevere" – and the workers ' Mutual Aid Society (1892). Also, we are reminded of the long history of the building by the old Franciscan emblem that stands out over the garden door, which inspired our logo.
