Montegufoni

This location was magical!

I had a great stay at the Castle. The view was absolutely beautiful & there was so much to see. Seriously, you could spend a couple hours walking the grounds admiring the architecture & surrounding nature. If you’re contemplating staying here, go for it. The views itself make it a memorable stay.

Die Bilder zeigen nicht annähernd, wie schön diese Unterkunft ist. So habe ich mir meinen Aufenthalt in Florenz vorgestellt. Wir haben spontan um einen Tag geschoben und das war absolut problemlos. Ganz nette Menschen, eine atemberaubende Unterkunft. Wir waren einfach nur hin und weg. Aber Achtung, in ein paar der Räume gibt es kein W-Lan. Für uns absolut kein Problem. Danke für die tollen Tage bei euch!

We spent a great time at the castle, the flat is in the old building and very charming. The only down side is that there is no first necessity in the kitchen ???? (no salt, pepper, olive oil, cafe etc…) which is always very useful we we rent a flat. Nice location with a great view over the hills of Tuscany, not too far from Florence

It's a real old House, but that is the charm of it. The atmosphere and the garden and Terrace is something special.
We were looking for something like this and found it

Beautiful place and very peaceful!

Great place for a quiet break from busy Italy, also it was great to now say we stayed in a castle

Perfekte Unterkunft! Sauber, gut ausgestattet und tolle Lage. Der Gastgeber war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Absolut empfehlenswert für einen entspannten Aufenthalt!

amazing place, very special and unique. looks better in real life than on pictures.

Een geniale ervaring in een heel bijzonder kasteel met historische charme, veel rust en ruimte en een panoramisch uitzicht. Een absolute aanrader voor een heel bijzonder verblijf.

Really unique experience. Narrow spaces to walk sometimes and overall charming. Can be a little spooky at night as well :)

War eine ganz besondere Unterkunft! In einem Schloss zu übernachten ist wirklich einzigartig!

We were amazed by the accommodation here. This exceeded our expectations as the rooms were massive with amazing frescos and furniture. It's a castle so you need to expect some darkness - each of the rooms had giant windows that looked out over the Tuscan countryside. We were meant to use this as a base to explore Florence but ended up just spending our two full days on site, with kids swimming in the freezing cold pool. A few drinks at the restaurant kept us entertained while we waited until 7.30pm for dinner (why so late Europe???). The restaurant was lovely with beautiful fresh food. This is definitely a lovely relaxing place to stay!

This is our second time staying at this property and we absolutely love it. The rooms are very spacious and we love the recent updates.

The restaurant is great and one of our best meals in Italy.

Just remember to bring extra toilet paper LOL

Will stay here again!

Magnifique lieux je recommande. Super séjour merci.

We loved staying at this beautiful property! It was easy to find with GPS, check in went smoothly, and the room was as described in the listing. It is a very simple room, and at the time of check in they do note they only provide enough basic supplies to get you started (soap, toilet paper, etc) but not enough for the entire stay. We stayed in late September and there was no need for air conditioning, the windows had bug screens so we left the windows open most of the time and kept plenty cool. The property is beautiful & the restaurant on site is delicious. The 2 waitresses, Elaina & Simone, were so friendly & welcoming each night! I would stay here again!

This is just as stunning as its photographs. It made an ideal base for us to strike out to Pisa, Sienna, a beach and San Gimignano. Their own restaurant was nice and we also found others within 10 minutes drive for variety. A high point for us was to go on their top recommended wine tasting at a nearby castle. We learnt a lot and their Chianti was superb.

Charming, quiet & private estate. The onsite restaurant is very good! The grounds are kept well & the apartment was lovely. Things to note are there is no coffee, breakfast or lunch service onsite and nothing super close by. Your best bet would be to grab some groceries before you get there. Il Folcolare was a hidden gem of a restaurant we actually did walk to and it was extremely good with local wines. If you are looking for low key and down time, this is your spot!

Really nice and warmth welcome and an impressive architecture to enjoy within a scenery of wineyards and olive trees.

Beautiful stay, friendly people, nice pool!

Quite literally the most amazing place we have stayed! We loved reading about the history of the castle and getting to live in it for a few nights. The surroundings were beautiful, reception was friendly and helpful with suggestions, and the restaurant food was fantastic. We loved spending time hanging out in the castle and exploring the surrounding areas. We hope to come back soon!

Great location for day trips to Florence and Pisa. If you have a car. Spacious apartment. The restaurant was incredible! Best food we had in our whole trip in Italy!

Bellissimo Castello! Staff molto gentile e pronto ad aiutare. Da raccomandare

The castle is beautiful with stunning grounds and the room was clean and spacious. There are vineyards all around the castle - make sure you book a wine tasting at Frescobaldi! Having a pool was a lovely addition - we stayed in September and there was enough lounger space and the weather was great. Things to bear in mind: The nearest town which has a supermarket is an 8 minute drive away so make sure you have a car! There aren’t really any amenities provided, but that was made clear to us before we arrived. As we were staying for a short time, it meant we had to bin lots of unfinished food and drink. Overall we were happy with our stay in this beautiful place. Thank you for having us!

A beautiful setting, with stunning views. Truly wonderful place to stay amd immerse yourself in the Tuscan countryside. We especially enjoyed cocktails on the terrace.

It is a very beautiful place in and out. The view is incredible and the castel it's straight out of a fairytale. The personnel was really nice and receptive, also they helped us with any questions we had. The restaurant is amazing, the food is really delicious. We had a great experience. When we saw how many stairs we had to climb to get to our room, we were quite scared at first???? but it was worth it( after all it's a castel). The only thing that may have caused a problem was the heath. It's quite hot in the rooms but there were ventilators in every room so that was really helpful. Overall, we had a great experience and will be back❤️❤️

Eine schöne Unterkunft in einem prunkvollen Anwesen. Das hier angebotene Zimmer gehört eher zu den kleineren Zimmern im Haus und hat leider keinen Ausblick. Das Zimmer groß genug für den Aufenthalt, leider war uns die Dusche viel zu klein. Darüber hinaus gab es nichts zu bemängeln. Der Pool war sauber und hatte schöne liegen zum entspannen. Einen Besuch ist die Unterkunft wert.

Wir waren 5 Tage in diesem wunderschönen Ort ein paar Kilometer außerhalb von Florenz. Das Schloss ist wunderschön und gepflegt und auch der Pool lädt zum Verweilen ein. Auch das Restaurant ist sehr zu empfehlen. Mit den Öffis kommt man kostengünstig und binnen kürzester Zeit zum Hauptbahnhof. Erwähnenswert ist auch die Freundlichkeit des Teams. Insgesamt ein sehr gelungener Urlaub. Vielen lieben Dank!

Lovely property, great restaurant, large rooms in Tuscan wine country.

Our stay at Castello Montegufoni was simply magical. The castle's historic charm combined with modern luxury provided an exceptional experience. Valentina's warm hospitality made us feel incredibly welcome. The accommodations were elegant and comfortable and the restaurant is very, very good. Ideal for exploring the region, this castle is a true Tuscan gem. Only thing to note: pack mosquito repellent, the pool area becomes a bloodbath after 16:00.

Un séjour apaisant, le cadre est idyllique. Personnel tres aimable, on reviendra !

Superbe lieu très authentique que nous recommandons. C'est très agréable de vivre dans cet environnement. L'appartement était un peu vieillot, il faisait une chaleur étouffante (sous les toits) et nous étions réveillés par le bruit des livraisons le matin. Je pense que c'était exceptionnel et peut être augmentés en cette période de récolte (vignes à proximité). A part ce détail, le lieu est vraiment dépaysant et atypique. On a adoré

What an amazing and beautiful place. It was like a fairytale castle Our villa was beautiful and the views take your breath away.. The grounds are stunning, the pool was lovely and very clean. We ate at the restaurant which was really lovely with great food and service. Pisa and Florence are all within just over an hours drive away. We wish we could put into words how amazing this place is, our advise is to stay and see for yourselves, you will not be disappointed. We stayed with our 2 children (daughter of 14 and son of 11) it was ideal as they loved the pool and grounds. We were by the pool either first thing in the morning or later on in the afternoon after a day out and is always clean with places to relax by it. All the staff was very kind and friendly. Like I said there really are not enough words to describe this place and it’s beauty. We would most certainly go back and recommend it to others.

Buona struttura, soprattutto interno camere ristrutturate
Buona pulizia iniziale. Rimasti 4 giorni e non previste pulizie, cambi asciugamani o rifornimenti (ad es carta igienica)
Molto gentile e disponibile per tutte le info ragazza alla reception
Buono ristorante
Piscina pulita, nonostante alberi circostanti alla stessa

Perfectly located in the middle of Tuscany's hills, we had all commodities to enjoy our stay.

Magnifique château au cœur de la Toscane, nous avons passé un très bon séjour. Voiture obligatoire pour profiter des alentours

Beautiful accommodation. House next to the castle.

Haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt - die Unterkunft ist uneingeschränkt zu empfehlen!

Montegufoni castle is absolutely beautiful. Staying in the cottages was a great value for money way to experience this beautiful part of Tuscany. Use of all the castle amenities included, which are lovely - beautiful pool, fantastic restaurant, space to roam with children - we used the chest of games in the reception area, drinks from the bar enjoyed on the terrace. The cottage gave us the space we needed and has air conditioning in both bedrooms which made sleeping comfortable when we visited at the beginning of August. Very handy for Florence - we visited 2 days and drove in and parked in about 40 minutes. We stopped in pisa on the way - about an hour away. Accomodation was clean and had everything we needed. Loads of space and beautiful views. Wifi was great. We had a toddler with us and the cottage does have a stone staircase which we had to be mindful of. Good shower. We were welcomed warmly and shown around. We loved our stay here and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to others.

Great time, great people and beautiful! Don’t forget to double check the room for air conditioning in the sunmer

Vi havde et fantastisk ophold på Castello de Montegufoni! Omgivelserne var smukke, og stedet er enormt hyggeligt. Stærkt anbefalelsesværdigt!

We loved the place - easy to get around og nearby the airport.

Stunning property and location with lots of history. Great hosts.

A fantastic place to stay! Beautiful surroundings, rooms and a friendly staff. The pool area is great. We highly recommend the castle, a magical place..

I absolutely loved our stay here, I wish we had more nights! The castle is beautiful, the pool was amazing, the restaurant was delicious. I really can’t complain about anything. I will absolutely be back!!

You definitely need a car, as there's really nothing within walking distance. That said, the location was perfect for us, with easy access to Montespertoli, as well as Florence, Siena and Lucca. The pool was a godsend for the hot weather. Restaurant was delicious and a beautiful relaxed atmosphere.

Un lugar mágico! Sin duda una gran experiencia!

Il posto è fantastico, si trova in un luogo tranquillo e pastorale, molto, molto bello, l'appartamento in sé è un po' datato

Very nice!

The castle is stunning, peaceful and has incredible views over the Tuscan countryside. We watched the sunset on one side and full moonrise on the other. The restaurant was useful for evenings when we didn’t want to drive elsewhere. Everyone was so friendly and food good. Morning swims with the pool to ourselves, busier in the middle of the day with lots of families. You need to bring all you need for breakfasts etc but the apartment has all the equipment you need to create simple meals.

Prachtige lokatie in een hele mooie omgeving. Vriendelijk personeel.

The house was nice although we missed general items (scissors to open groceries, salt, pepper, olive oil). The downstairs bedroom did not have curtains against the light, this was not nice in the early mornings.

More beds by the pool and beds with back support to read a book more sitting would be appreciated.

The area is lovely and the staff super friendly. With the house and pool area with a bit more comfort we would definitely consider coming back.

Wunderschönes und ruhiges Domizil. Einfach märchenhaft. Toller Pool, sehr gutes Restaurant. Sehr zu empfehlen! Sehr nette und zuvorkommende Gastgeber. Die Städte Siena, Pisa, San Gimignano sind mit dem Auto in ca. 50 min alle sehr gut erreichbar. Florenz ist in ca. 30 min. erreichbar. Auto ist empfohlen.

Traumhaftes altes Castello! Die Zimmer sind wie im Inserat beschrieben. Wir haben einmal im Restaurant zu Abend gegessen und waren begeistert. Bei der Reiseplanung sollte man die Check in und Check out Zeiten beachten.

The castle grounds were beautiful and our kids really enjoyed the pool and table tennis table. The location is fantastic - a great base to explore Florence (only 20 min away) or the Tuscan towns. Our only complaint was that the villa was very basic and would benefit from some maintenance / upgrades. The bedrooms had air conditioning units, but they were really loud and did not work particularly well...making it difficult to sleep. Also, the showerhead in the bathroom did not work well and needs to be replaced. It also would have been nice to have some essential basic items in the unit (toilet paper, paper towels, core spices, etc.) and a coffee maker for visitors traveling internationally. A few minor adjustments would go a long way to maximize the unique experience of staying in Montegufoni.

Unser Aufenthalt im Castello di Montegufoni war einfach wunderschön. Das Schloss bietet eine atemberaubende Atmosphäre, das Essen im Restaurant war super lecker und ebenfalls mit schönem Ambiente. Das Apartment war sehr sauber und nett eingerichtet. Ein Highlight war natürlich auch der Pool, der zum entspannen einlädt. Wir werden auf jeden Fall wiederkommen☺️

The castle is fantastic, and the apartment was nice. To be an apartment where you must cook your food and be self sufficient, I think the equipment in the kitchen could be better. Like better cooking knives, cuttingboard etc…
I think if there were to be a washing cloth, dishwashing soap and other basics like toiletpaper, it would be easy for you to fix, and better customerservice.

Why dont you have an open bar for lunch and drinks at least during the high season? With so many visiting the pool during the day, that would only be a win win situation for you, I think.

I loved the atmosphere, and dining in the restaurant at night was a really nice experience. Would be lovely with more variation to the menu though. And the food was a bit too salt.

beautiful place, charming castle, extremely atmospheric and comfortable apartment with a beautiful view. we are extremely pleased with the fantastic service of the reception (Valentina) and the restaurant (Pune & Simone), which are not only very professional but extremely nice and helpful. Thank you for a wonderful stay and we will gladly return to the castle

It was beautiful!

The castle was so beautiful, and we loved the mix of the old architecture and furnishings with modern furnishings. And the grounds and view are incredible! We chose this place because we were traveling without a car and the listing said a bus to Florence was easily accessible. Valentina in the registration office was SO helpful with this (and many other things), giving us a schedule and describing exactly where the stop was. The restaurant was delicious and a dreamy space. Overall, this was a wonderful place to relax any day, and especially after busy days in Florence.

We had the most brilliant stay. The castle was absolutely incredible and was the most excellent place to live the Italian dream for a few days. The food in the restaurant was delicious and the staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful.

Unser Aufenthalt war sehr entspannend. Die Unterkunft zeichnet sich vor allem durch die ruhige Lage und die wunderschöne und gepflegte Anlage aus. Der Pool liegt sehr ruhig und war absolut ausreichend. Die Städte rundherum waren sehr gut erreichbar, die Unterkunft war eine super Ausgangslage für Tagesausflüge. Florenz ist beispielsweise innerhalb von 25 Minuten mit dem Auto erreichbar. Wir sind zu einem großen, kostenlosen Parkplatz gefahren und dann mit der Trambahn in das Stadtzentrum, das war hervorragend. Für viele Tagesausflüge liegen Flyer mit allen wichtigen Infos aus. Die Ausstattung der Wohnung war ausreichend, alles notwendige war vorhanden. Wie üblich sollte man an Gewürze, Klopapier, Öl etc. denken. Parkplätze sind ausreichend vorhanden. Das Restaurant in der Unterkunft war hervorragend! Wir können die Unterkunft absolut empfehlen!

My wife & I had the most wonderful stay at montegufoni. The castle is magnificent, the staff are super friendly & extremely helpful. Our room was pristine & we wish we could’ve stayed longer! Our only recommendation is that you 100% need to pre organise a car as there is next to no public transport around the area. So we did a lot of walking! Lots of wineries and beautiful landscapes around the area to experience & admire. Couldn’t recommend this stay more! :)

We very much enjoyed our stay at Montegufoni. The room had plenty of space for the four of us and the surrounding area was beautiful. Reception was friendly and we were lucky enough to enjoy two meals at the restaurant for dinner. The views were amazing! Make the time for a dip in the pool and cocktails on the veranda. The nearby town of Boccia had friendly locals where we able to have a coffee and pastry in the mornings and shop for groceries. The location was good for visiting many other towns in Tuscany and traveling the Chianti trail.

Dit verblijf is een echte aanrader voor iemand die echt het gevoel van Toscana wilt beleven. Een heel oud kasteel, waarvan zo veel nog intact is gebleven. Waanzinnig mooi ingericht. Goed geregeld en makkelijk te vinden met Google Maps. Komen zeker terug!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed staying here! The restaurant, staff, and views were all so lovely! We will tell our friends and recommend this location for anyone!

Ottima struttura con staff cordiale e proattivo!

This was our favorite stay of our entire trip to Italy. It was so incredibly beautiful and serene. We only stayed three nights and I wish we had stayed a whole week or more to really enjoy the area, the pool, and relax. The grounds are beautiful and so relaxing. I will be back for sure. The highlight of our trip!

Great location in the Tuscan hills. Fantastic welcome. Pool was great and on site restaurant very good. Loved the pool. Would highly recommend.

niet kunnen slapen van de muskieten,we werden lek gestoken.goed restaurant dat wel en lekker zwembad,mooi kasteel en vriendelijke bediening.

Staying at Montegufoni had us feeling like royalty for a short while. The modern adaptations made to the castle provide much comfort to its guests. Contrary to some previous comments we were not faced with additional fees outside of the tourist tax (which was expect and clearly written out). The restaurant and its service provides a personalized touch to each individual table, seating was set with guests in mind. The food was simply remarkable, ourselves we had the melon and prosciutto, seasonal vegetable soup, wild boar and lasagna; we our still talking about this being one of the best meals during our time in Italy.

Sehr schöne und besondere Unterkunft mit wirklich sehr netten und freundlichen Personal.

Amazing stay! Beautiful castle! Amazing views and very friendly staff. Loved our stay there

Zauberhafte historische Unterkunft

Was the best!

We stayed here with 5 friends, for our annual ''Girls Trip''. Unfortunately, we were unable to arrive within the Receptions opening times, but they arranged a flexible check-in for us, which was highly appreciated. They also offered a grocery service, so upon arrival, we had a filled fridge. The Castle is the most authentic accommodation we've every stayed in. All of us want to come back with family or partners. The restaurant was great as well, we enjoyed the food. The apartment we stayed in was a little outdated, but what to expect from a building like this? The only downside of the apartment was that the beds were quite hard, but that's a personal preference. Overall we rate the accommodation 10/10. Enjoyed the stay and for 100% we will be back here.

Thanks for a great experience! we enjoyed our staying in the lovely castle! Valentine was so kind and helpful. The restaurant was just delicious. The kids also enjoyed the pool :) Every thing was tidy and clean and the surrounding is jut wow! You have to take into consideration that WiFi is available only at the reception and that there quite some steps to take to get to the apartment. Gracie and Ciao, Ola.

Jak najbardziej polecam

We had really a wonderful stay. Beautiful castle in a lovely surrounding. Room was spacy and clean. Restaurant in the castle is absolutely recommendable. Perfect spot to explore Florence and Siena…

Exactly what you want in a Tuscany Castle accommodation; striking architecture, peaceful surroundings, pool, well manicured grounds, and tasteful cuisine from on site restaurant. Keep in mind, restaurant does not open until 7:30 PM and bar has limited timing; however, there is a market nearby with all you could ask for. Receptionist Valentina was extremely pleasant personality and always avail for assistance to help make our stay optimal.

xcelente lugar las fotos no describen lo hermoso que es el lugar

Such a beautiful castle to stay in. The bed was comfortable room lovely and spacious. Staff at the castle were all very friendly and they have an incredible restaurant. We had a lovely stay here.

Très bel endroit. L'appartement un peu vétuste mais propre. Le personnel est très sympa et à l'écoute. Le restaurant est au top.

Absolutely STUNNING!! Hands down the most beautiful place I have ever stayed. The views are incredible Highly recommend

This was an extremely scenic stay, the Castello was charming and views of the Tuscan countryside were spectacular! Do bring a car as it’s quite difficult to get around otherwise, and make way to the town of Montespertoli for your lunch/dinner. Siena is an hour away and great for a day trip! Overall, very pleased with our stay as it gave us the quintessential Tuscan experience :)

Vi var nöjda med vår vistelse. Superfint slott med trevliga uteplatser och fridfull omgivning. Perfekt för större familjer och par.

Wow! What a stay in this beautiful castle. Every corner we discovered was an experience and the pool area was a dream to relax and recharge.

We had a great time in the castle, and the staff was very helpful to make any adjustments making our stay perfect.

Wat een prachtige plek! Wij hebben genoten! Het appartement is heerlijk ruim. De ligging van het kasteel is mooi. We hebben genoten van het zwembad. Het restaurant heeft een mooi terras met uitzicht op het Toscaanse landschap. Het enige min-puntje: schommeling van het warme water in de douche. Aanrader en een top plek!

Beautiful castle with all amenities you need. Would definitely recommend!!

The experience in the Montegufoni castle is really authenthic. The surrounding scenery is just breathtaking nature, as there is a nice 4.5km circular path around the wineyards, clear hills and occasional farm houses, great for walks. There is a nice secluded pool, and a couple of different areas of the castle which were great for chilling out, reading a book or just enjoying the sun. There is a restaurant/bar which works only in the evening, but there were some close local trattorias and wineries a couple of kilometers around. We had an appartment with a fully functioning kitchen (with gas stoves, pots, cutlerry and even mocca pot), so we could prepare meals and coffee for chilling at the terrace. You definitively need a car for this location, as the closest supermarket is in a village 5km from the castle, and nothing is provided in the appartment (we had to buy additional toilet paper, olive oil and coffee). The receptionists and workers were pleasent and helpful.

It was a great stay. We enjoyed Toscany's outstanding views from the castle. It was just around 45 mins by car to Florence and Piza.

The property and grounds are beautiful, and the location is great for easy access to surrounding wineries, cities and towns, and stunning views. Very cool to stay in a 1000+ year old castle. Appreciate the hospitality.

Fijn verblijf! Mooi kasteel, ruime kamer, fijn bed. Gastvrouw Valentina was erg behulpzaam en vriendelijk, het eten in het restaurant is ook een grote aanrader. Enige jammere is dat je voor verwarming nog moest bijbetalen, en dat er geen basisbenodigdheden zijn om te koken, zoals olie.

Très beau séjour au château Montegufoni! Le cadre est absolument magnifique, personnel gentil et très bon resto. Nous reviendrons :)

Bellissima location e posizione, staff cordiale e struttura ben mantenuta

We loved it and the pleasant surprise was the fire place. When we went to reception for assistance there was someone to assist! We didn’t want to leave it was absolutely amazing !

This castle is very beautiful but rustic. This is a 13th century castle. We were a family of 5 (including 70+ and 2 kids under 14). This is not a typical Airbnb type like- cannot cook basic breakfast like eggs or anything. It has dishes and bowls but not pans or any such. The staircases were big and long- so it was difficult for the senior member of our family (no elevators/lifts) . Its huge and spacious. Loved the restaurant food.
Overall, the place is good if you are just a family with kids. It gets challenging when you have seniors travelling with you.

Très beau logement dans un cadre exceptionnel ! Spacieux, calme et propre. Nous recommandons vivement !

This place was amazing! We stayed 3 nights and truly enjoyed our stay. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms were clean. The location is great and the property was absolutely gorgeous! There are several cute towns nearby to grab groceries, meals or a coffee. There were also several wineries nearby. You definitely will want to rent a car as taxi's to this area can be very expensive, but it's well worth it!

This is an outstanding find in the Italian countryside. The photos, whilst already fantastic, don't do it justice! From amazing rooms to beautiful gardens and grounds, we had an ideal stay at this AirBnB. 10/10, will be back.

Sehr schöne Unterkunft. Ist vor Ort noch viel schöner als wie auf den Bildern. Perfekte Unterkunft einfach um sich zu erholen

beautiful property and friendly staff. had a great meal at the restaurant - recommended

A great stay, beautiful landscape and accomodation, can’t wait to go back.

Absolutely loved this slice of Tuscan paradise. everything was perfect. Thank you for a wonderful stay, we have fallen in love with the castle and location.

It was an amazing place. The apartment itself was huge, with beautiful bedrooms, lots of windows and a terrace where we had lovely breakfasts every morning. While it was easy to reach Florence and other towns scattered around, we spend quite some time in the hotel, or in its garden, or near the swimming pool. Wherever you look - it's very beautiful, and you can go on a hide through the wineyards and olive gardens.

Castello di Montegufoni was incredibly beautiful and peaceful. The views, rooms, and on-site restaurant deliver a true Tuscan experience. Note that Montegufoni is rather out of the way from major transit. There is a bus route that passes near the castle (37) which was suspended during our stay there. This was not not known by the reception at the time and this provided some confusion and us taking the wrong bus to Empoli. Nonetheless, if your goal is to spend a few nights in an incredible castle I would recommend this place 10/10 times. It’s perfectly situated between Florence and San Gimignano if you want to hop between those two locations. Just make sure your transit situation is figured out beforehand. In my opinion spend the extra $ on taxis.

Thank you for the wonderful experience!

Super Schöne Umgebung! Werden bestimmt wieder kommen

Just keep in mind that there is a $18 Euro heating fee (per day) that is hard to find on this listing. You also need to be self sufficient- you need to remove your own rubbish and the basics aren't provided (salt and pepper). You also have to have a car and you can't get around on public transport. The pictures are accurate

Beautiful location and friendly staff!

Contesto stupendo, forse non proprio ideale per l’inverno.
Riscaldamenti troppo alti e pulizia iniziale migliorabile.
Nel contesto appartamento fruibile (forse necessita di una ristrutturazione)

It was a magical stay with the best staff. It seemed like a dream to stay in such a beautiful castle.

Fantastiskt boende i historisk miljö. Vi kände oss kungligt bemötta och servicen var fenomenal. Perfekt ställe att utgå ifrån om man ska upptäcka Toscana - nära till vackra städer som San Gimignano, Siena och Florens och nära till en mängd vingårdar i området Chianti. Sista kvällen åt vi fantastisk mat med ypperlig service i slottets egna restaurang. Högsta betyg!

Excellent séjour.
Accueil chaleureux, le lieu est exceptionnel.

Het is waanzinnig verblijven in dit schitterende kasteel! Je stapt een ansichtkaart in, het kasteel is schitterend, net zoals het uitzicht. De staff is ontzettend vriendelijk en behulpzaam en in het restaurant kun je heel lekker dineren. Een geweldige uitvalsbasis in Toscane!

We got a bit unlucky with the weather in October. It rained a lot and so we didn't spend as much time enjoying the beautiful grounds or the lovely pool or simply walking in the hills as we had hoped to. We mostly used the castle as a base from which to explore Florence, Siena, Pisa (all about an hour's drive away) and even Venice (3hr drive). Technically, for this trip at this time of year, a little Airbnb in Florence would have been a better choice for us. However, Montegufoni is absolutely beautiful, our apartment in the castle was spacious, clean, quiet and felt very private. We enjoyed our time there thoroughly. We failed to note that no basic supplies are provided in the kitchen (such as sugar, salt, coffee etc., and you have to bring your own toilet paper, too. Not a problem, just good to know.) Highly recommend a car! Very friendly and helpful staff, great (dinner) restaurant, accurate pics - we wouldn't hesitate to recommend this stay to anyone, ideally in fine weather :)

We had a great stay here, beautiful views and comfortable accommodation. The restaurant is great too with lovely, friendly staff.

Such a beautiful location. It was peaceful. Exploring the castle was very interesting and fun. The food is so delicious. Definitely will return to the castle again and I wish we had longer. Our apartment was very cute, we enjoyed cooking and eating together. The only thing I would say is that it’s important to hire a car. This was recommended by the staff and hiring a car was a good decision.

Our place was great, we had a beautiful stay. The place was gorgeous and clean. It’s a old castle but with very beautiful grounds. We were a family group of nine. The stairs were quite steep and hard to get to the forth floor but worth it. Beautiful views of the Tuscan hills.

Amazing place to stay - it was like something out of a film! We arrived late due to flights and check in was super easy with the host giving clear instructions. We didn’t actually rent a car and used the local bus instead, which was super easy and reliable (although we did get a taxi from the airport when we landed). The restaurant, food and staff were amazing! Couldn’t recommend more.

Wir genossen den Aufenthalt sehr. Eine räumlich grosszügige, vielfältige, herrschaftliche historische Anlage mit vielen Aufenthaltsorten ausserhalb der Wohnung und einem sehr schönen Garten. Auch das Abendessen im Freien im Restaurant, welches jeweils am Abend offen hatte, war sehr gastfreundlich und mit gutem Essen. Bei Fragen wurde gerne geholfen. Ein Auto ist sinnvoll, da etwas abgelegen.

Wie im paradies und einfach nur zu empfehlen. Es ist so wie man sich die Toskana vorstellt mit einem tollen Ausblick in die Weiten. Das Castello hat einfach seinen eigenen Charm. Die mitarbeiterinnen sind sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. das essen im hauseigenen Restaurant ist sehr lecker mit einem tollen preisleistungsverhöltnis. Kann es empfehlen… nur bringt zur vorsicht mückenschutzmittel mit.

Unique place and history, the air was clean and cool although elsewhere it was +30C. The common areas and La Torre weren’t overly decorated.

We enjoyed our stay tremendously, free parking right at the location, great facility and surroundings, would come back again in a heartbeat!

This place is so beautiful it is beyond words. The staff in both reception and the restaurant are sweet and kind! I wanted to give it 5 stars but unfortunately we ran into a couple problems i won’t list them all here! We were expecting to stay in the castle (and we did have access to it) but not one of the rooms inside of it. The room we did have in a building next to it was really nice and clean and cute! Also I think it’s VERY important to note that if you are going to stay here you should have a car as public transportation is not reliable and a taxi is around 100€ to go anywhere from here! The only other thing was that we received a packet after checking in with a lot more information and rules about the stay than what is listed here on airbnb. I think that a lot of them apply more to people staying a long duration.

Stunning location with the most beautiful grounds. We were a little nervous about the reviews but so pleased we went anyway. The castle felt like we had gone back in time. The pool was clean. The restaurant at night was convenient. Wish our car was smaller to navigate the tricky roads, but that’s everywhere in Chianti. You need a car to stay here. No salt/ pepper/ coffee or oil, so make sure to do a full shop if you want to spend anytime for meals at the accom. There aren’t a lot of choices for breakfast etc. it would have been great if this was available. Loved our stay all in all!!

We had a great time staying at the Castello. Well located, beautiful area and gorgeous amenities. There’s also a nice restaurant on spot that we went to twice! Highly recommend staying here. Made for quite a unique experience during our time in Tuscany!

The Montegufonni 1B was a beautiful place to stay. With a nice design and exquisite details, we spent three amazing days there.

Amazing place :-)

The place is a bit tricky to get to if you're not used to driving on country roads, however, this is what makes it a bit more special. The location is beautiful , really nice surroundings, the castle itself is great and you must do a little explore, and there's also a nice little village next to it where we had a great lunch in a family run café with local dishes and wines. Within 5 minutes walk the opposite direction, you will find a great restaurant in an old monastery which is on the pricier side but very good value Getting to Florence took around 20 minutes and within For Italian standards, the rooms were a little tired and found some dried mosquitoes on the tiles, but generally clean. The pool was a great addition to the stay despite only using once due to the bad weather during our stay. The reception lady was very friendly and informative, the only thing that was miscommunicated was with the delivery of a birthday cake which we ended up receiving the day after

My fiancé and I had a great stay at the castle. I would recommend to stay in the cooler months - as there is no air conditioning. August was very hot - there were two fans inside, however, it felt like blowing warm air around vs cooling down. I guess this is to be expected at a castle! The bed was also a bit firm for our liking. Limited toilet paper available, you have to take out your garbage, and supply your own cooking essentials such as salt, sugar, coffee, etc. Not ideal if you are only staying a few days. Otherwise, it was a pleasant experience. The on-site restaurant was lovely. If you are looking for a secluded getaway in the Tuscany countryside, this is a great option!

Tolle ruhige Lage. Leider sehr weinig bis gar keine Abstellmöglichkeiten im Bad.

A gorgeous castle with a really interesting history. The views are stunning and the location is ideal. The restaurant is absolutely phenomenal too. The only drawback is that this unit is on the top floor of an old, not very well ventilated castle and the nights are insufferable during a heat wave, even with the fans provided. Also, the one bathroom has a sewage odor.

Wunderschönes Apartment in einer traumhaft schönen Burg. Wir hatten eine wundervolle Zeit dort.

Air Condition was missing. The apartment was very generous and nice. The castle is also a very nice place.

I knew we were staying in a castle but I was pleasantly surprised with how nice and large the rooms are. We had room 29 and the entry was into the kitchenette and sitting area with a large dining table. The bathroom was beautiful and very nicely updated. the beams in the main bedroom were absolutely stunning and then to walk out on the terrace overlooking the pool and gardens were so serene. We will definitely be back, such a wonderful experience at Montegufoni!!!

Exceptional!! Exceed our expectations and we loved every minute of our 4 nights in the castle! We loved our villa, very specious, well equipped, had a nice outdoor area for just us. Laundry machine close by with drying racks ready to use. The front desk manager was delightful and so welcoming! Restaurant on-site was fantastic, we had 2 nights there and loved both meals and the staff were so friendly and fun! My 8 year old loved her time at the resort, especially the pool! The pool was gorgeous and you just can’t beat the amazing gardens/scenery. We took a few day trips off property and it was a great location to get back to Florence (35 mins), and explore Tuscany towns! We truly loved our stay and we can’t wait to get back!

Très bon séjour à Montegufoni. Le Castello est incroyable, les alentours toscans sont superbes, le restaurant très bon avec du personnel très sympa et la piscine géniale! Il manquait juste un peu d'équipement"de base" même si cela était signalé : une éponge, du sel et du poivre.

Très bien situé je recommande ce logement

Un endroit magique, tout ce que nous attendions en Toscane: très belle demeure historique, très bon restaurant et un personnel au top ! Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir

Wow! - that was our reaction when we arrived at the Villa. It is a stunning place with an amazing history. The reception team were super helpful and friendly and did everything they could do to make our stay enjoyable. Their onsite restaurant is open for evening meals, and the food and service was incredible. Our spacious apartment (family of 4) looked out over the grounds and pool and was such a beautiful view to wake up to. The apartment had a well equipped kitchen and was a perfect place to have a breakfast of local cakes and bread! The only thing to note is that not all the rooms have air conditioning (its a historical villa so popping the units on the walls would look terrible! ) They did have fans though and they kept the room cool at night for us. We have recommended the Villa to all of our friends and family already and will definitely go back again. A massive thank you to all of the staff there for making our stay so wonderful :)

O castelo é bem conservado, há também um restaurante no local, que precisa de reserva, que serve pratos muito bons. Eles contam com uma piscina bem grande também. O mercado mais próximo estava a 20 minutos de carro.

Beautiful place for families and we’ll furnished. The swimming pool was just epic for the kids to enjoy after a long day of hiking. Staff is really friendly and provided us with great suggestions and tips. Make sure to bring your groceries for breakfast and lunch as the restaurant only opens for dinner. Nice restaurant though! We’ll definitely book this place again.

Amazing place! So happy to have had the experience of living inside this historic landmark. As can be expected in a centuries old castle, comfort is not at four star hotel level, we were there doing a heatwave and did miss A/C, but the staff was accommodating and provided a third electric fan. The restaurant is very very good, the staff very friendly, the gardens jaw-droppingly beautiful. Definitely highly recommended!!

L'emplacement est incroyable avec une vue sublime sur la campagne. Le restaurant est très bon et le personnel très sympathique. Il s'en serait fallu de peu pour un séjour parfait. Malheureusement mauvaise odeur persistante dans le logement, visiblement déja repérée puisqu'il y avait un diffusseur de désodoriasant automatique..... Ce logement est à considérer comme un hotel et non un airb'n'b. Equipement minimal de la cuisine avec aucun produit sauf un échantillon de produit vaiselle. Si il est compréhensible que le logement soit sombre puisque dans un vieux chateau, il l'est moins qu'il y ait si peu d'éclairage. Une seule lampe de chevet dans la chambre et sur la lampe d'appoint de la cusine une ampoule manquante.

Nous avons passé un merveilleux séjour à Montegufoni. Le château est très beau et dans un cadre magnifique et très calme, le personnel es très accueillant.

We loved our stay at La Grotta. It’s a beautiful apartment, and the reception staff were lovely. We would have liked if there was more lighting in all the rooms however, as they were very dark. Also would be great to have mosquito plug-ins in the walls.

Super Lage, nur 35 Minuten von Florenz. Tolle „Schlossatmosphäre“, sehr idyllische Plätze u.A. auch im Restaurant oder der Bar mit wunderschönem Ausblick. Die Kommunikation vorher und vor Ort war freundlich, schnell und unkompliziert. Wir hatten ein kleines Häuschen direkt am Parkplatz (das war uns vorher bekannt). Einziges Manko: Die Ausstattung der Küche war sehr einfach und der kleine Garten mit Blick auf den Parkplatz lud nicht gerade zum Verweilen ein, aber dafür gibt es im Schloss ausreichend andere schöne Plätze um sich aufzuhalten.

Beautiful place. Stunning grounds and views. Will definitely be back!

Lieu vraiment magnifique et au calme. La piscine est top. Le restaurant et vraiment très bon et le personnel qui y travaille est adorable.
Logement très propre. Nous avons adoré notre séjour et gardons l'adresse si nous repassons dans la région

l'environnement est magnifique dans le chateau de Montegufoni, avec ses cours, jardins et vues. L'appartement est spacieux, et la terrasse permet de profiter du soleil au petit dejeuner, l'équipement est vraiment minimal dans la cuisine, et aucun produit n est fourni, vous pouvez tout acheter dans une commune voisine. Le restaurant ouvert le soir est très bon et propose aussi des options gluten free très appréciées. La piscine est très agréable.

The most beautiful castle in the hills with fabulous staff running it. Ready to help for day trips advise and local shopping. Just a fabulous place surpassed my expectations. Very beautiful and tranquil with a great pool.

Bien que mentionné dans le descriptif, nous aurions apprécié une cuisine mieux équipée, il est difficile de cuisiner pour une famille, l’espace cuisine étant minuscule Le restaurant est sympa mais cela revient un peu cher d’aller au restaurant tous les jours L’appartement manque de prise et il faut choisir entre un ventilateur, une lampe de chevet ou charger son téléphone Cependant l’endroit est magique, l’environnement merveilleux, à 30 minutes en voiture de Florence

We had a really relaxing holiday here - loved the gardens, table tennis and pool area - and the cocktails on the terrace in the evening. Great restaurant and lovely staff too.

A very beautiful location to relax and enjoy the beauty of an old castle. Wifi access is limited but this was for us no problem. I can highly recommend it!

We had an incredible stay at Montegufoni Castle. A special and surreal experience to stay in a place with such history. The room was very spacious, and the view from the room was a wonderful surprise. We could see the rolling hills of Tuscany from all windows. No air con but the fans kept us very cool and the room is on the bottom floor. Quiet area but great surrounds for wine tasting and exploring by car. Beautiful pool to relax after a day out in the region. Lovely restaurant at the castle and local restaurants. We enjoyed every minute!

Wir wurden sehr herzlich begrüsst und erhielten viele Tips für Unternehmungen in der Umgebung sowie Einkaufsmöglichkeiten etc. Das Schloss bietet einen fantastischen Ausstieg aus dem Alltag. Das Restaurant serviert sehr gutes Essen und das Zimmer beinhaltet alles was man braucht.

Das Schloss in dem unser Zimmer war ist wirklich toll! Man hat einen traumhaften Ausblick von der Terasse! Dem alten Gebäude geschuldet ist es, dass das Zimmer sehr dunkel ist. Unser Zimmer hatte Fliegengitter, was viel wert ist! Das Badezimmer ist in die Jahre gekommen. Der Aufenthalt dort war aber wirklich toll auf Grund des ganzen drum herums! Der Pool war immer gut besucht. In dem Restaurant muss immer reserviert werden, das Essen ist sehr lecker gewesen also lohnt es sich. Die Anlage an sich war zu jeder Zeit sehr sauber.

A spectacular setting to enjoy the Tuscan surrounds. The pool was lovely and the building is extraordinary. Perfect.

The old castello, the yards and the garden are really stunning. Also the view from the terrace overlooking the area is breathtaking. The bedrooms in the apartement are clean and tastefully furnished with respect for the history of the place, while the kitchen is rather dark. We stayed during a heatwave in July and beforehand we were nervous that there was no aircon, but the staff in the reception was really kind to provide us with several fans that worked surpricingly well during the hot nights. Remember to bring toiletpaper, soap, dishwasher soap, exstra dish cloths, salt/pepper etc. We didn’t know that, but again the staff helped us out untill we could drive to a supermarket.

It was a beautiful place to stay and it was so peaceful, the scenery is out of this world! The castle looks exactly like the images and was breathtaking, only thing I would mention is that you have to self cater everything yourself which we weren’t overly aware of when we arrived. For example, there was only 1 toilet roll, 1 bin bag, no coffee/tea etc so you need to supply everything yourself just so you can prepare. Well worth a stay here! Loved it!

The Castel has so much Potential. I will recomend to paint Rooms in white, and kitchen is ok but it could re Design better. It was very clean. Great. Toskana is fastastic.

Lovely stay with amazing views! Absolutely gorgeous! ❤️ Would recommend travel during moderate weather, if weather sensitive. No A/C and rooms can get quite hot with warm weather. Or take advantage of gorgeous pool to cool off!

Historic castle in Tuscany in beautiful surroundings. The atmosphere makes you feel traveling back in time.

Excellent place to stay if you want to go offline for a few days. Great food and service at the restaurant and really nice staff.

Absolutely stunning place to stay. It’s even better than in the pictures on here. The staff was amazing and the food at the restaurant was so good and very well priced. Only thing I would say is if you are staying here in the heat of summer, keep in mind there is no air conditioning and in 100 degree weather, fans don’t do much.

We really enjoyed our stay at the castle. The restaurant was lovely and the food and service were amazing. Reception was super helpful during our stay. We enjoyed the pool and the surrounds of the castle.

Montegufoni is a wonderful place to stay for short or long holidays. The staff are friendly and welcoming, the food in the restaurant is excellent. We had a great holiday.

Jaw dropping, beautiful surroundings. The restaurant wait staff were the nicest in Italy and the food was amazing. Our room was fantastic. The most unique place we have ever stayed.

Beautiful location, amazing place to stay. The host couldn’t do enough for us. The food in the restaurant is delicious, great value for money

Gemütliche Unterkunft in wundervoller Umgebung.

Prachtig kasteel met een ruime kamer en heerlijk zwembad! Daarnaast een heerlijk restaurant in het zelfde kasteel, zeker proberen waard.

A magical setting, we felt like we were in a Disney movie! Every angle you looked was a feast for the eyes, Tuscany at its best. The castle restaurant was terrific and good value.

The castle was rustic and nice. The amenities are basic, you will need to get your own food, including toilet paper. I really liked the views and it was peaceful, scenic location, you will definitely need to rent a car, no public transport upto the location. I loved the surroundings to walk and explore, its a beautiful stay if you overlook the shortcomings. It was a great deal on Air BnB. The staff was very sweet. There is no service except the check in and the restaurant only for evening/ dinner. During the day and at the pool you need to manage on your own for everything. Overall i loved the place and it was a good deal. I enjoyed driving around Tuscany from this castle.

Montegufoni is the most amazing holiday destination and I would thoroughly recomend visiting ! The castle is spectacular and steeped in history, the restaurant serves the best Italian cuisine and all this just a stones throw from the delights of beautiful Florence.

Truly a beautiful experience. The Castle was a peaceful and beautiful place, the rooms were clean and comfortable and the larger castle was so lovely to explore. The onsite restaurant was really convenient and served terrific Tuscan food. This is a gem of a holiday destination and I can't wait to return!

We had such a memorable experience staying at Montegufoni. The castle and surroundings were beautiful. The best part of our stay was the restaurant. The food was always delicious and the staff was the best. Montegufoni is centrally located to many beautiful surrounding towns, so it is easy to drive for a days excursion.

We readily enjoyed our time here. Great apartment and facilities. Recommend

What an amazing property with outstanding service! We truly enjoyed our stay at Montegufoni 29. We specifically selected this property because of the private balcony with expansive views and were not disappointed. We had no intentions of cooking (hello, we're in Italy!) but the refrigerator was great for storing wine and snacks. It was wonderful to have the space of a full kitchen with table, larger shower, and very large bedroom with plenty of hanging space for clothes. The bedroom was the only room with an air conditioning unit, which is fully disclosed, and worked perfectly for us and was worth the extra charge. Close the bedroom door and you are sleeping comfortably! Thought to consider when planning (but not to discourage this visit): You need to bring everything you may need; paper towels, soap, shampoo...You are allotted one bath towel per person for the stay or can pay for more. If I went back, which I would in a heartbeat, I would also buy a citronella candle for the patio. (We're literally in a forest, of course there will be little buggies, just a deterrent to be more comfortable) I should mention again what wonderful service we had during our stay; check in, an issue, and check out were handled wonderfully and we are so grateful.

Beautiful old castle! We enjoyed 4 lovely days there! If I could suggest having a machine for snacks/drinks as there is nothing available for breakfast or lunch and if you don’t have a car, town is a good walk down the hill then back up with groceries.
The dinner restaurant is wonderful!

We had a wonderful week! The castle is delightful and the views are breathtaking. Our apartment was clean and well equipped with comfortable beds and lovely linen. Can recommend the restaurant food and the staff are so friendly and helpful! The food is delicious and very reasonably priced. Valentina at reception does a fantastic job such a lovely, helpful person! All the staff here were outstanding. There was a wedding the weekend we arrived - it was great to see all the excited guests arriving and to watch this all unfold in such a special setting. They had the best time and the music was loud though not too late! Later in the week we had the pool to ourselves on several occasions which was totally unexpected!
Hire a car as there is plenty to explore around the area. Great vineyard tours excellent restaurants and hilltop towns. Florence is in easy reach and only 45 mins from Pisa. Our apartment had a lot of steps but not all do. There is a great little coop in the next town (10 mins drive) and a market there once a week. We had the best time and would go back like a flash!!

We had an absolut amazing stay in the Castello Montegufoni! It was even more beautiful than on the pictures, an impressive old Castel but renovated and very clean. The staff was also super friendly and helpful! We will definitely come back! :)

I stayed with some friends here for a couple of nights and it was totally worth the drive out from Florence! I would highly recommend getting a car because a taxi can be impossible to get, and we were able to drive to all of the close by wineries for tastings!!

Spacious rooms. Beautiful property. It’s an ancient castle on a hill so pack light because big luggage and stairs don’t mix well. Food at the restaurant was much better than we anticipated.

Beautiful surroundings, peaceful and tranquil gardens. I would recommend hiring a car as the castle is quite remote. Fortunately we had been to a local supermarket and stocked up before arriving as the rooms are quite sparse, very limited toilettries and cleaning products. The castle itself is spectacular and the views are worthy of a stay in themselves. We found our room for a family of 5 to be quite small and dark. At every opportunity we were out on the terraces as we felt quite claustrophobic in the room. A word of advice would be take lots of mosquito spray with you and plug ins for the rooms! Between us we were covered head to toe in bites and could hear them buzzing around in our rooms in the night. We were travelling with our toddler and did not realise there was an additional charge of €50 for a cot to be put in the room for 2 nights. This is stated on the website which I missed; however I did feel it was quite steep considering the length of our stay.

Hermoso castillo. A nuestra llegada, de noche. Nos recibieron las luciérnagas y un ambiente místico del lugar. Franchesco muy amable nos recibió pasada la hora de check in y hasta me ayudó con las maletas. El restaurante sirve una comida deliciosa!!

La villa était incroyable, grande et très adaptée à notre week-end entre amis. La décoration est rustique mais tout à fait dans le style du château.
Seuls inconvénients :
- le débit d'eau dans les douches est vraiment faible. Nous ne pouvions pas utiliser simultanément les douches sinon, avions un filet d'eau inexploitable pour se laver les cheveux par exemple.
- les moustiques !!!! De vrais tueurs dans les chambres du haut ! Ils se sont régalés !

En dehors de ça nous avons passé un incroyable moment ! Les professionnels (réceptionnistes, employés du restaurant etc.) étaient extrêmement serviables !

Le domaine est d'une incroyable beauté !

We had a wonderful time at Castello Di Montegufoni. A beautiful location with incredible views. The rooms are very traditional Italian, very rustic. Loved it. Ours was called Torre 2. Spacious room with a big balcony with stunning views. Bathroom was modern and clean. Every staff member we encountered we're truly lovely. They couldn't be more attentive. I wanted to give a shout out to Francesco in the restaurant. Very knowledgeable, attentive and warm person. Talked us through each wine and knew everything on the menu. Even gave us recommendations of places to go and things to do. Definitely considering coming back here again next year. Hopefully we don't get bad weather this time! Thank you.

The castle was amazing! the staff was very friendly! It was easy to get around to the places we wanted to go.

our stay at Castille di Montegufoni was restful. the grocery store that is in the nearby town is very well stocked and everyone in the town was super friendly. the staff at the Castille were so hospitable. Gabriel the grounds keeper and late night front desk person SAVED our first night there. from our 2 weeks traveling through Italy he was one of probably the 3 nicest people we met in out whole trip. the front desk ladies were also so kind! they helped arrange a pasta cooking class for my children while my husband and i had a private wine tasting. the front desk person also helped coordinate a driver that basically became our personal driver the entire time we were in Florence.

We rented one of the apartments outside the castle. Unfortunately, there were multiple mosquitos inside the apratment, despite never opening any windows, and everyone was covered in bites after 2 days. Additionally, although the apartment sleeps 8, there is no comfortable seating for that number of people, other than at the dining table. There is a small seat and 2-person 'loveseat' around the fireplace, but they are far from comfortable. The grounds in the castle 'proper' were beautiful, the pool was very pleasant, and the restaurant food and service were great. The location is convenient for exploring western Tuscany and Florence. I would recommend staying in the castle 'proper' but perhaps not in the facilites outside the castle.

Site enchanteur. Vue magnifique. Terrasse incroyable. Malheureusement, nous n’avons pu profiter de la terrasse, à cause de la pluie un soir et il y avait un évènement prive le 2eme soir.

The castle grounds are gorgeous and the apartment was minimal but recently renovated and spacious with a lovely terrace. The staff and other guests were very friendly and a pleasure to interact with. A few downsides: No wifi in the apartments; poorly stocked kitchen with basic cooking tools and a mini fridge but no salt/oil/napkins/necessities, so you must bring your own even for a short stay; the pool is not heated which means it is too cold to swim even in late May; no breakfast or lunch available on the property. Overall, if you are looking for a quiet stay in a beautiful place and are prepared to bring everything you need with you, I highly recommend the castle.

What a magical experience! As we ate at their amazing restaurant (it was so surprisingly good), the table next to us was made up of Canadians who had stayed at the Castello 10 years ago. hopefully we won't have to wait that long to visit again. so quiet. so peaceful. it feels as though you have the whole place to yourself. we would drive to the outskirts of Florence and then take the tram to the centre (free parking by nenni torregali). we also visited the nearby Machiavelli villa where he wrote his famous work following his imprisonment and torture. note: bring a car and there's a hefty deposit.

The view is amazing. The experience of staying right next to the castle or in the castle is for sure worth it and should be on anyone’s bucket list. For me it felt like a fairytale. The food at the restaurant is absolutely amazing.

Beautiful place, beautiful views. The restaurant on the property was also excellent. Overall enjoyed our stay here!

This castle was beautiful!!! We loved it so much, the views are incredible!! The restaurant food was okay nothing crazy but the dessert and wine tasting was very good. The room was clean and beautiful. We did have difficulty with the hot water getting to work but luckily my dad could fix it! All in all a very good stay

A few recurrents problems with the hot water (to have a shower or to wash the dishes). The place (palace, garden, swimming pool) and the location are perfect ! Easy to join every city around (Firenze, San Giminiano...). Top

Great Place

Perfect place to stay to visit wineries, staff are amazing and the Castle is beautiful I would recommend hiring a car if you are staying here

Amazing stay, excellent staff, breathtaking settings

Beautiful views in a great location. Dinner was amazing at their restaurant. The grounds and gardens were exceptional.

Beautiful place, nice views and clean. Kitchen poorly equipped. Service excellent, fast and friendly.

Amazing place. Beautiful gardens and views. Very cozy and spacious.

It’s a lovely castle and absolutely beautiful location. The staff are so friendly and helpful. When they say you need a car, listen! We did not have a car and took the bus. We had to walk 15 mins all uphill. Read the website about what is and is not included. Would stay again!

Très bel endroit proche de Florence mais loin de son agitation. Idéal pour un séjour en Toscane. Une remarque : l'équipement de la cuisine était assez succinct.

This place seems like a hidden gem! What a great location. We loved our spacious room, and the castle was just beautiful. The gardens were also stunning and we enjoyed the idyllic setting of the pool. The restaurant was also amazing. Such delicious food and very reasonably priced. Staff were excellent, the region is beautiful. We would definitely visit again and recommend to family and friends!

Très bel emplacement

A circa 20/30 min d’auto da Firenze, 45 min da San Giminiano e Volterra e un’ora da Siena, quest’alloggio permette di godere delle bellezze Toscane nella più totale tranquillità, circondati dal paesaggio e dalla bellezza di questo castello. L’appartamento è molto ben arredato e confortevole.

Très beau château Equipe très sympathique et réactive Endroit paisible Je recommande cette location dans laquelle nous avons passé un excellent séjour avec ma femme et mes deux enfants

Wonderful place in a beautiful surrounding.

Beautiful surroundings and a castle with nice atmosphere. The staff were very helpful and the restaurant at the castle we can recommend!

Really enjoyed our stay here - thanks very much

Beautiful and unreal place!

Maravilhosa acomodação. Obrigada.

excelente lugar para disfrutar de la toscana. lejos de la locura de las ciudades no creo que sea recomendable si estás sin vehículo. Nosotros lo disfrutamos mucho!

Emplacement magnifique et très calme. Les maisons proposées sont magnifiques. Préférable d'avoir une voiture pour y accéder.

Loved our stay. Spacious rooms and the balcony was a huge bonus. Sad we didn't enjoy the grounds as much since it was cold but we'd stay again. You definitely need a car as it is very difficult to get around without one, or you can do public transport but it will take 2x as long to get anywhere. The most relaxing time!

Our family of 8 stayed in la Galleria. It was the most perfect and magical location imaginable. It will stay in our hearts and minds for a very long time.

Beautiful villa in a very nice location. The unit was very spacious and comfortably fit my family. The hosts were also flexible in accommodating a place that fit my entire family. Overall great stay and would definitely go again.

Ganz besondere Unterkunft mit grandioser Außenanlage und historischem Flair. Die Kritikpunkte in anderen Bewertungen... kleine Fenster etc. sind der historischen Baussubstanz geschuldet die wirklich authentisch belassen wurde, und das ist auch gut so. Der Check-In war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommen. Der Aufenthalt war ein ganz besonderes Erlebnis und wir haben uns für 4 Tage als toskanischer Landadel gefühlt ^^

excellent stay. totally recommend it! will come back.

Très bon accueil au château, situé à un emplacement idéal pour avoir une vue magnifique sur la campagne toscane. Personnel très arrangeant et agréable. Points négatifs : manque d'équipements dans le logement, propreté qui laisse à désirer et présence d'humidité.

Il fascino del castello inserito in una natura strepitosa, la gentilezza e la professionalità di tutte le persone che ci lavorano e ti fanno sentire accudito e protetto. Possibilità di visitare tanti bei paesi e fare piacevoli passeggiate. Firenze a pochi km. Non so cosa si possa volere di più. Tornerò senz'altro.

Wunderschönes Kloster - in wunderschöner Lage. Idealer Ausgangspunkt für Trips nach Florenz, Siena oder San Gimignano für diejenigen, die sonst die „Ruhe“ suchen. Jederzeit wieder! ????

This is an amazing place if you want to experience Tuscany at a special location with panoramic view. Everyone working at the place is very friendly and helpful and makes you feel welcome. If you're a frequent airbnb guest and used to stay in other peoples houses/apt, you should be aware that this place is more like a hotel in the sence that the kitchen isn't equiped with salt, pepper etc. However there is a supermarket close by that has everything you need. We were very happy with our stay and would recommend it to anyone traveling to Tuscany.

Posto incantevole e molto romantico! Ottimo ristorante all’interno della struttura. Appartamenti nuovi e dotati di ogni comfort. Ci ritornerò sicuramente
