Even though it's close to the main road, this late-18th-century manor-house hotel has an exceptionally beautiful setting, flanked by lawns, tall trees, a stream, a lake and the evocative ruins of 14th-century Padise Monastery. The 20 guest rooms are well appointed, with an antique feel, making this a great choice for a quiet countryside escape.
You'll also enjoy the pleasant, formal Restaurant Ramm on-site (mains €19 to €22).
