| The origins of La Suvera go back to the Middle Ages when it
was one of the castles of the Montagnola and Montemaggio counties ruled by the
legendary Countess Ava Matilde dé Franzesi, a relation of the King of
France, also known as the Queen of Montemaggio. |
|
|
| The Marquis Giuseppe Ricci Paracciani Bergamini and his
wife, the Princess Eleonora Massimo, together have created a most charming
ambiance. The family collection of antiques, which bears witness to their
connections with the historical families of Europe, creates a living theatre of
history and culture which cannot fail to fascinate their guests. |

|
| All around are the beautiful Italianate gardens and what
was once an ancient fishing lake is now a swimming pool. The fitness centre and
the soft, Sienese countryside contribute to the all-pervading feeling of peace
and tranquillity, which is the true gift of La Suvera. |
