What we now call "La Vecchia Cartiera" (The Old Paper-mill) was a factory of valuable paper active since 1200. The old structure, located in the centre of Colle Val d'Elsa, only 18 Km from Siena, has become a comfortable hotel after a careful refurbishing. The façade, characterised by harmonious arched windows, evidences the architectural traits of the paper-mills of that time.
