The Pope Visiting
In 1148, Pope Eugenico III visited the monastery, blessed it and took it under his personal protection.
At that time, San Vettore lay lonely in the whale hill landscapes. It was often attacked by thieves and robbers, mainly from nearby Siena.

The current owners take over
Erika & Peter Niesel sold their property in Germany and moved into San Vettore. The monastery was rediscovered, old foundations, a mill and the Romanesque church were excavated.
The works were honored by archaeologists and the municipality of Gambassi Terme and San Vettore was highlighted as a landmark in brochures.

" … The apartments are very tastefully furnished with antiques. There are plenty of ways to relax: lying by the water lily pond, hammocks between the trees or sunbathing lawn overlooking vineyards and forests. Very nice landlords. You really don't feel like you're a paying customer, but you're a guest… "
