Castello di Montegufoni is an exclusive location to spend wonderful holidays in the heart of Chianti Region.
Dating back to the 12th century and restored in the 17th century by the noble family of Acciaioli, the Castle has a magnificent tower built on the model of the one of Palazzo Vecchio in Florence.
Montegufoni Castle is part of a large estate comprising vineyards and olive trees and is surrounded by the beautiful Chianti landscape. In the castle there are 39 apartments and a large garden with a nice swimming pool: the perfect spot to relax and have fun with your family and friends.

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
Everything was great
E' stato tutto molto piacevole, il castello è splendido e la vista dalla terrazza meravigliosa. La depandance gradevolissima.
Great place and location. Like in the pictures. Just a reminder that this is an appartement not a room in a hotel!
Très bien accueilli, le logement est très sympathique et le cadre du château aussi. Un super marché Coop est situé à 10min en voiture, pratique pour les courses et Florence est a 30 min seulement. Les hôtes sont aussi très agréable et a l'écoute peut importe la langue. Très bonne expérience passée
Could not recommend staying here enough! This was the best place we have stayed, and truly could have stayed here for weeks. A few days is not enough… the staff was great, and even gave us a private tour of the chapel upon our request. It is historical and peaceful. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Tuscany. The restaurant is exceptional, has super quick service, and a very nice atmosphere. Don’t miss out on the chance to stay at this gorgeous castle.
absolutely gorgeous. we loved every minute. beautiful, spacious and lovely hosts. highly recommend!
Excellent. Would recommend.
I can’t recommend this place enough — we had such a wonderful time here. The grounds were absolutely beautiful, our room was very cozy, and the restaurant was phenomenal. Very friendly & helpful staff — provided a booklet of recommendations upon check-in. We loved the “apartment” approach to the entire villa — it felt less like a hotel and more like a magical home we were lucky enough to occupy for a few nights!
Great place to stay! It definitely is remote so you will need a driver or to rent a car if you are planning to leave to go into Florence. We loved the castle and it was beautiful. The bed was comfortable & the kitchen had what we needed!
Danke. Es war sehr schön bei euch!
Zamek jest przepięknym, klimatycznym obiektem na bajkowej mapie Toskanii. To idealne miejsce na wypoczynek zdala od tłumów, a oddalone jest od Pizy zaledwie o godzinę drogi ;) zdecydowanie polecam przyjechać tu samochodem. Będąc na miejscu warto udać się na spacer po pobliskich polach i wstąpić na degustację lokalnych win i produktów do przeuroczej Pani z Azzienda Agricola Ammirable (via Romita 39, Montagnana). Polecamy serdecznie ♡
Really enjoyed our stay: accommodated 8 comfortably, beautiful setting in historic property, delightful and helpful staff, good restaurant on property (dinner only), great pool, driving distance to a number of known sites. Other restaurants and grocery store a short driving distance. Things to consider: need a car if taking day trips, can hear most every movement inside (stairs, doors, common areas), dim lighting, couldn't get microwave to work. Overall, definitely worth the stay!
stunning. truly. so unique and special. my mother and myself stayed for 2 nights. would definitely rent a car next time but other than that, the place was beautiful and so magical
Beautiful and impressive place. Great location to visit Florence, Pisa and surrounding areas.
It was truly an amazing experience. Great staff and wonderful restaurant on site. We were based there for 3 nights while we toured Tuscany and Florence. I wish it could have been longer. The LA Gratta room was over the top.
Definitely a great place! A bit far but gorgeous! Great price. I would definitely recommend do a big shopping before as the nearby shop is incredibly expensive for essentials.
Un castello e sito bellissimi, i giardini e la piscina sono ben curati,al ristorante il cibo è molto buono, gli impiegati sono molto gentili e simpatici. Si parla l’inglese molto bene! Siamo arrivati tardi la sera, e si pagano 25 euro per il late check-in che non ci dava fastidio- ma visto che il castello è in buio sarebbe una bella idea accendere le luci (che ci sono) per facilitare l’accesso?! L’appartamento stesso è vecchio quel che si aspetta vicino ad un castello, sfortunatamente anche poco pulito. Il bagno è improvvisato- che anche quello non si aspetta altro visto che all’epoca non erano le esigenze di oggi- ma si potrebbe restituire un sedile del water che si era rotto non so quando …
Riassumendo dirò che sarebbe il posto giusto per un soggiorno per pochi giorni è con tempo splendido.
wonderful premises, lovely pool and grounds, several excellent places to eat within 30 minutes walk but as property recommend, a car is needed to explore further afield. Good restaurant and self-catering accommodation was very comfortable and clean. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Will revisit!
100% can recommend - the castle was incredible and everyone was very friendly and helpful. A really great stay!
My girlfriend and I chose this castle in Tuscany well because you’re staying in a castle!!! Our stay here was so great. They have a restaurant on site that is delicious. The best part about this place is how centrally located it is to Florence and the surrounding area. We were able to explore a ton of places. The area is beautiful and is covered with great food and wine! We can’t wait to come back. A true hidden gem of Tuscany.
We loved the castle! It felt so different to stay in such special place. The apartment was very confortable, excellent showers and amazing views. Tuscany sunlight is magical. Location was great and we would definitely come back again.
We will be back. Loved it! More than expected xxx
Nice place, good location and great food.
Stunning room in an amazing old castle up in Tuscany. We absolutely loved the rustic feel and the grandeur of the grounds. It's a real hassle to get to via bus, on every occasion the bus was late or just didn't come at all so I would highly recommend getting a rental car in Florence and driving down. The only criticism is how the kitchen is poorly equipped for home living; there were no cleaning products or utensils (even a cloth or sponge) and you had to buy everything yourself, even things like salt and oil which, if you're only staying a couple of nights, is irritating to buy. Aside from that though, the place is absolutely fantastic and the staff are very friendly. My wife and I went as the final leg of our honeymoon and we thoroughly enjoyed it and hope to be returning at some point in the future.
Amazing! The views are spectacular. You'll really feel like you are in an old medieval castle. While we were there, there weren't many guests. I am not sure why, as it was the peak time for travel, but either way, it was probably for the best because the isolation may be experienced all the better. The views are spectacular. You really can't get any better than this. There are plenty of areas around the property to sit and have a glass of wine. The pool was very clean. The room was clean and organized, and everything felt very private and authentic. It's a quality experience, to be sure. However, we did have to throw away our own trash as per the rules of the state. They will not be pampering you in this place (no room service or anything like that), and you can't even buy a bottle of wine on the premises after the restaurant closes. While on that note, I have to say the restaurant was absolutely stunning; however, it was not the best. Actually far from it. I frankly disliked it quite a bit. This does not take away from the five stars I will give this experience. However, I wish that the food at the restaurant was better. The staff was Wonderfull, but the food was heavily lacking. My recommendation would be to have a couple of cocktails at the restaurant during sunset and then have someone drive you down to the town where you can go to another restaurant. Overall, I would highly recommend staying at this place.
Loved being in the castello! We had a wonderful week surrounded by the most spectacular views in every direction. Our only problem was the biting flies & mosquitoes.
The stay was amazing, place is unique and charming. Reception staff was friendly and helpful. Restaurant on site is pretty good and with amazing view. Florence is near, you can easily go by bus. Bus stop is less than 10 minutes away. It is a perfect location to stay and travel around Tuscany region. I hope we will come back again soon
Amazing experience!!!
Beautiful location for people who like nature, excellent food, history and a quiet ambience. A car or vespa to get there and to explore the region is highly recommended. As there are many steps, it is not an ideal location for people with walking disabilities.
The area was great, the views spectacular. We came without a car and unless you are able to cycle or rent a scooter it is difficult to travel around. Can get a taxi but nearest taxis come from far so will cost a bit. We walked to nearest village to get supplies, but did end up eating almost every night at the restaurant, which was fantastic food. You need to supply the trip yourself but lots of help from the staff.
The castle is incredible. Story book views in a 1,200 year old castle. You simply can’t beat it. Having the restaurant on location was perfect for a night or two when you don’t feel like venturing out or had 1 too many bottles of wine. A rental car is a must for the area but completely worth it. There’s are numerous places to visit for food and wine and Florence is only a half hour drive for a day trip. 10 out of 10 would recommend.
This was a real fantastic place to spend a couple weeks.
Great location, real Tuscan experience :)
There is much to say here, but I will start with this: Read the fine print. We were not aware until we arrived that this facility did not provide the bare essentials. We had purchased quite a bit of food for our 4 days here, yet it wasn’t until we checked in that we found out they don’t provide any types of dish soap, napkins, paper towels, or even more than one small roll of TP. Their attitude is that you should treat it like camping and pack in the supplies you will need. The check in counter was only open from 9am to 5 pm, so if you need something outside of those times, it will need to wait until the next day. I will say that the staff was very friendly and accommodated our requests for extra fans (because there was no A/C and it was very HOT) and extra pillows. Also, you will need insect repellent and anti-itch cream, because the mosquitoes here are relentless and plentiful. On a positive note, the landscape is breathtaking, and we met some nice guests at the pool. The castle (if you’re lucky enough to get a room in that part of it) was very interesting and spooky, with lots of places to explore. We stayed in the “villas” which were detached and a few hundred yards from the main facility, with far less charm and intrigue. Overall, I would recommend it, as long as you temper your expectations and know going in that it is a 1000 year old castle, and you will live similarly to those folks.
The property, staff and restaurant were all wonderful. We would love to stay here again. Simply gorgeous!
Alles sehr sauber und geschmackvoll. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Das Ambiente ist unschlagbar.
Die Küche war allerdings sehr dürftig ausgestattet, ein Küchenmesser im Gepäck ist hilfreich
Einfach herrlich ! Tolles Schloss in ruhiger Lage ! Haben uns sehr gut gefühlt !!
Castello Di Montegufoni was a beautiful place to stay for three nights! We're totally into the Middle Ages so it was the perfect spot for us.
Location adatta per vivere e provare la capitale del Chianti per un soggiorno rilassante all’insegna del buon vino. Host ospitali e disponibilissimi a consigliarti i posti giusti da visitare.
Beautiful place to stay. Gorgeous views; amazing grounds to explore & lovely pool. All staff very attentive & the restaurant was very good. The Castle was beautiful & rustic loved the whole experience & vibe of the Tuscany countryside.????
This is a truly special place. A perfect location for exploring Tuscany and still having a relaxing holiday.
Montegufoni was a dream. The photos on the Airbnb do not do it justice. It's like getting to sleep in a museum. The staff is friendly and accommodating and I thought the restaurant had great food. My favorite part about this stay was to just sip wine and enjoy the silence and serenity of the venue and it's surreal views. 10/10 would stay again.
would 100% recommend! great views, service !
Very friendly personnel, very helpful with all questions. The property was beautiful and well kept. Our stay was the perfect size, the only thing we missed was more storage room in the bathrooms and more comfortable chairs at the pool. But this can be overlooked. Nice central location of the castle and the restaurant was very nice. We dined at the restaurant one evening but when we came to the dessert more than half of them were no longer available so we didn’t eat one.
Overall a very pleasant stay, can recommend!
Wow what a romantic place to stay and visit. Our accommodation was 2 mins walk from the stunning palace / castle, with beautiful gardens and a wonderful pool. Worth booking the palace restaurant for dinner, the setting on the terrace is like nothing else and the food and service is top class. I would definitely recommend and will hopefully return.
Magical is an understatement! The most romantic place to stay with beautiful views everywhere you look. Felt like a dream. The only downside is that there’s no ac so it was a little hot at night in the room. (We stayed here in August so understandably hot.) But overall amazing!
I stayed with my family at one of the houses. Two bedrooms and two baths. We went in the summer and the AC in the rooms works great. No AC at the living room. All liens and towels provided. Parking is free. You must have a car to stay there. Pool was great to cool off at the end of the day. The only thing to improve are the utensils. They offer the very basic. Things lake a toaster and cutting board are simple improvement opportunities. Internet is OK, not great. We had no issues during our stay.
nous avons passé un très bon séjour dans ce superbe domaine, la piscine est très agréable, et l'appartement confortable. si vous souhaitez cuisiner par contre, sachez que l'appartement ne dispose pas de suffisamment d'équipement.
We stayed there for a week and and were quite fascinated: The castle is set in a wondeful landscape. The pool is nice, the restauarnt was great.
Check - in and chek-out were without problems. The appartment was nice.
You definetly need a car - but then Florence, Siena and Pisa are within easy reach.
We loved our stay & will come back again next summer. A gorgeous castle setting & great for groups or couples. Beautiful setting and pool area. The houses are simple and plenty of room to have luggage. Fans inside & no air conditioning however we slept fine with the fans. Recommend bringing drinks and snacks to stock the fridge as it’s a little drive to an open supermarket & shops have funny opening times in summer. Some shops weren’t open so we kept driving. Restaurant is super cute & you can also just order drinks and find a nice spot on one of the many balcony areas to sit with a drink.
Simply bellissimo and great Italian food at the restaurant.
In general a nice stay at a resort that deserves the average rating of three stars as the average quality matches the reasonable price paid. The unusual high temperatures challenged both the resort and our stay and is obviously not to blame on the resort.The restaurant on the castle is amazing. Really good local Tuscan food at reasonable prices and a very frindly staff.
We took a drive to Vada at the coast to have a day on the beach which was also a nice breakaway.
Beautiful location in Tuscany and short drive to Florence. Unfortunately due to the heat wave at the time of our visit it was challenging.
Very beautiful place with a lot of space in the apartments. Also a beautiful environment.
Wonderful stay in beautiful surroundings. Only thing missing was that it would be nice to be able to have a bit more servive svailable during the day, such as the ability to buy coffee, etc.
We loved our stay at castle Montegufoni. The castle and garden are really worth the visit!
Our apartment, "La Grotta” was unbelievable! It was like being on a movie set. Everything about this property is breathtakingly gorgeous and picturesque. We used it as a homebase and went into Florence for day trips and then visited wineries in the local area. Lots of great restaurants and small quaint towns to visit nearby. This is not a full-service hotel so it is important to know that before you go and there is no breakfast on site so if you want coffee in the morning you need to be prepared to provide your own supplies. They have all of the cooking utensils that you need. There are many wonderful little gathering spots in and around the castle for enjoying aperitifs or your lunch or dinner alfresco. Best picture taking opportunities ever! Note, our apartment did not have air-conditioning but they provided many fans and that was fine. Little to no mosquitoes so we were able to leave all of our windows wide open without a problem.
We went with my little 3yo girl who played the princess for the whole stay. Indeed, it's a real castle and you feel like it! It was amazing. The host are great and speak very well english. The room was clean and comfy. The restaurant were very nice and the waiters so kind. Be carefull: There is the strict minimum stuff inside the room (WC paper, etc..) you should take some if you want to stay more than one night.
unique and magical place, with a lot of history, breathtaking views and a great restaurant. One of the mot beautiful places I have ever stayed.
The drive to Florence is short and easy. I found it to be very relaxing after traveling all day exploring the wineries and the City. The pool was nice and the property was amazing to explore.
The castle is beautiful. You will have a great experience. Everything about the Castello was great except for the transportation. This is disappointing from an American point of view. I saw families walking down the narrow winding roads to get to a bus stop. It would be more convenient if the castle would at least provide a shuttle. We had to rent a car which was also not easy as you have to go to the city of Florence which is 40 minutes away and most rentals are only available at the airport. If the transportation was more accessible this would be better for business for the castle and the surrounding towns. If you are planning on staying at the castle please allow for car rental expenses in your budget unless you plan to stay at the castle the entire time then you will only have to spend between $70 - $100 dollars for a taxi depending on the driver. This is the only downside but I would visit and stay at the castle again.
We were so pleased with our stay. Unmatchable views, service, and area! Will forever dream about this castle!!
Very cool opportunity to stay in a historically significant castle in Tuscany. the architecture and grounds are lovely and interesting. We found the pool to be a wonderful place to cool off on a hot afternoon. The rooms were pleasant, albeit without air-conditioning. Fans were provided and this was actually not a big issue. If you are planning a prolonged stay, I would recommend brining along extra personal supplies such as toilet paper, soap and shampoo as these are only provided in a limited quantity. if you plan on cooking, also bring along dish soap as this is not provided, although the kitchen is otherwise well stocked with dishes, pots and pans etc.
What a magical venue! Our family had the most amazing two weeks staying here, and plan on returning in the future. The location is perfect, polite and helpful staff, amazing food, and definitely a hidden gem within the Tuscan Hills. Would definitely recommend this venue to anyone who is planning to travel around Central Italy. :)
Pretty quiet location in very beautiful Tuscan surroundings; ideal for day trips to towns and countryside; very exciting for children exploring the area; clean swimming pool to relax after day trips; restaurant with a beautiful terrace; unfortunately no breakfast
Great location, beautiful and tranquil scenery. You need a car to access. Friendly and helpful staff and the apartments are full of charm and character. If nobody is at reception due to limited hours, very easy to contact via airbnb or leaving a note at reception as we did. They provide fans in hot weather, but don’t expect air con as this is an old castle. Be aware you need to buy own basics such as toilet roll(only 1 provided per bathroom), liquid soap, salt n pepper. Plenty of towels. All in all would stay again.
This location was really beautiful for our two families with together 4 kids. The staff is really friendly and polite. The restaurant located in the castle is really worth a visit!
As always for such rented homes - if you really plan to cook - take at least some good knifes, a good pan and maybe a water boiler with you - the rest is available.
4.5 stars. There is room for some general improvements - suggested ongoing clean up and refreshing of grounds. We were in the tower top floor and was not advised there were fans available - having them in the room upon arrival would have been perfect.
We had a wonderful stay at Castello di Montegufoni! The stuff is super friendly & lovely. The Castello is just magnificent!! Perfect get away!
Traumhaft schönes Schloss in der Toskana. Eine solche Aussicht kennt man sonst nur aus Filmen. Die Kommunikation, check in und out sind zuvorkommend und einfach. Das dazugehörige Restaurant ist lecker und hat eine tolle Atmosphäre. leider öffnet die Bar erst ab 18 Uhr und es gibt auf dem Schloss keine Möglichkeit Getränke zu kaufen.
We really enjoyed our stay. The landscape is beautiful and so is the Castle. The Restaurant was delicious and we also enjoyed the pool.
We had an Apartment which did not really belong to the Castle but it was very nearby. It could have been a Bit cleaner (Couch in the Kitchen) and some Things were a Bit neglected. It would have been nice to have a mosquito net in front of every window without any holes in it.
And the matresses in the bed were way too soft. So the nights were not that comfortable (but this happened to us in other parts of Italy, too)
had a wonderful stay here as a solo traveller, the grounds and pool were just stunning, as was the castello! Nothing was too much trouble and everyone was so friendly. The restaurant was delicious, I ate there most nights and would highly recommend. It’s the most wonderful place to switch off and relax.
Wir hatten eine schöne Zeit in der Unterkunft. Die Räumlichkeiten sind Geschmackssache. Wir mochten die besondere Atmosphäre aber auf andere mag das auch bedrückend wirken. Die Wohnung ist sehr großzügig geschnitten und einfach eingerichtet. Wir hatten uns mehr von der Küche versprochen, in der nur das Nötigste vorhanden war und welche aus unserer Sicht nicht zum Kochen einlud. Die Gartenanlage mit Pool ist sehr schön und man hat einen tollen Blick über die Toskana. Für uns war die Übernachtung im Castello etwas ganz besonderes!
It was a amazing stay in this gorgeous castle in the Tuscany countryside, with a view on hills and vineyards !! The appartment itself (n18) was wonderful, with stone and wood all over the place. Absolutely recommended!!
Very cute place, as described and a unique way to experience Tuscany. We enjoyed the premises, the pool, the view, dinner at the domestic restaurant and vicinity to Firenze. Latest there you will have to face masses of tourists so this castle is a great calm hub to explore the region from. Two nearby villages offer shops, bakery, pharmacy for the basics. To have a car sure is recommendable. We thoroughly enjoyed and recommend this accommodation.
Beautiful villa set in the Tuscan countryside! Restaurant is pretty good. Great for a quiet get away.
Amazing place! Beautiful Castello, You need a vehicle although a direct bus is coming from Florence. Restaurant has local organic food. Definitely to recommend :)
Extérieur incroyable, piscine très sympa. Idéal pour faire de belles photos. Bonne situation près d’une ville avec restaurants, supermarché, pharmacie. On est vite à Florence. Places pour se garer. Logement spacieux , il manque juste un micro ondes, car plaque de cuisson gaz, ce n’est pas simple à utiliser quand on a pas l’habitude. Personnel à l’écoute
We had a super time in Montegufoni - Villa Osbert with our extended family for a superb wedding weekend. The wall to wall sunshine and swimming pool were a real bonus.
The castle was magical by day and by night. The history of the castle is fascinating. We were very well looked after by staff the worked quietly in the background. Fabulous views at every turn.
The only downside was in our villa itself. Any negatives we have are all about the kitchen in our villa. A welcome pack of water, milk, tea/coffee to get us started would have been much appreciated. Also some washing up liquid or 2 dishwasher tablets would have made the stay more enjoyable. The sockets in the kitchen don't work. The microwave and toaster had to be moved to the floor in the main room. A dish cloth and more than one tea towel would be great please. The toaster in our villa needs to be replaced. Some light bulbs are also needed.
On the whole we did have a fantastic time and have been busy singing your praises to anyone who wants to listen.
Grazie mille
Beautiful location & unique experience to stay in this castle. Only complaint was that the bar opend at six o'clock.
A beautiful place to stay. Incredible views and impressive building. You will need a car to make sure you can make the most of being in the beautiful Tuscan countryside!
Very nice place to stay, beautiful castle and surroundings. Appartment is clean and was very spacious.
We loved staying at this property. The setting is absolutely stunning, sitting on the castle patio overlooking the rolling Tuscan hills, sipping on a glass of wine cannot be beat. The staff is lovely. The apt is not the Ritz or the Four Seasons, but it is servicable. If you need anything, just ask at the office, they were always very helpful.
Don’t miss this gem. Such a place filled with ancient history and the area is well isolated so no noise. The apartment was old of course but very serviceable and all the three bathroom were modernized. Bed was excellent. The food is delicious regardless of some comments I had read from previous guests. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Hope to return soon. I have no negative comments what so ever except may be poor lighting in the kitchen / living area. But we didn’t do any cooking as we were on a Tuscany vacation.
Great location and a good restaurant with very helpful and friendly staff
perfecto
Die Ferienwohnung war sehr gepflegt und sauber. Die ganze Anlage ist sehr gepflegt und schön. Es gibt auch ein sehr gutes Restaurant. Mit dem Auto erreicht man in einer halben Stunde einen Park and Ride - Parkplatz nach Florenz. Ein sehr empfehlenswertes Domizil.
We loved our stay! The castle is ca 30 min with car to florence, and is situated in beautiful hills in the Tuscany countryside. The castle has as lot of history and the gardens are extremely beautiful! BUT you have to understand that it is a very old building and not a modern comfortable luxury resort. The castle is a charming, special and very beautiful accommodation but it gets very cold at night and the rooms are rather dark and have old bathrooms,floors etc. This was no problem for us because we really enjoyed staying in a place with this much history and character. I read a lot of negative reviews criticizing this, so I just wanted to point it out for future guests, so that they are prepared, even tho for us this was no problem at all.
Very good accommodation, in an idyllic location in Tuscany!
A beautiful location right around the corner for Firenze! Good equipped apartments, really comfortable to stay in and explore the beautiful Tuscany. Unique location too :)
The rooms are clean. Wi-Fi did not work in the room. The restaurant in the castle was also closed. But we were given a list of restaurants in the area. You also need to pay for heating, 8 euros per day. You will learn this by the fact of eviction. In general, it is a very beautiful and interesting place.
Cosy historie place in pittoresqe surroundings. Higly recommendable.
La residenza storica è molto affascinante situata nei colli a circa mezz’ora da Firenze in una bellissima cornice di vigneti, uliveti e verde a perdita d’occhio. Il contesto si potrebbe valorizzare molto di più. La camera accogliente arredata in maniera molto sobria ma non mancava niente peccato il bagno molto molto piccolo senza finestra. Nel complesso per una breve permanenza in famiglia siamo stati bene.
Gentilezza, disponibilità, location stupenda. Il nostro appartamento era dotato di uno splendido camino e di un lavandino in pietra . I bellissimi pavimenti in cotto toscano d’epoca, l’arredamento in stile shabby, ogni particolare curato per rendere calda e confortevole l’atmosfera. La loggia privata, a cui si accedeva da una scala interna alla camera da letto, con vista sul cortile interno era davvero suggestiva. Il bagno moderno, funzionale. L’unica pecca, se dovessi trovare un difetto, è l’eccesso di calcare lasciato sul soffione della doccia. Abbiamo anche cenato al “Ristorantino”, cibo buono decisamente. Un posto incantevole.
Très bel endroit, calme, hormis le bruit des gens lors du passage dans la cour. 20 minutes de voiture de Florence et 1h de Pise.
Une très belle surprise, le château est magnifique avec un parc entretenu permettant une jolie balade plongée dans l’histoire…
Nous avons pu rencontrer et échanger avec le propriétaire dont la passion pour le lieu et son histoire est évidente : un moment de partage qui fut un vrai cadeau !
Nous avons séjourné dans la maison de 4 chambres à quelques pas du château et qui est bien agréable. Elle dispose notamment d’une cheminée que nous avons pu allumer (le bois était fourni) pour le plaisir de tous.
A présent, nous avons hâte de revenir et de découvrir les appartements du château…
La Toscane est un petit bijou d’histoire, de paysages, d’accueil et de gourmandise… dont il est difficile de se lasser !
We had a fabulous time at this castle. Note that it is remote, does not have amenities that you might expect at a hotel or air bnb. We found it VERY useful to have our own car, which I rented from Sicily by Car a the Florence airport for about $185euro for 4 days, including the upgraded insurance for Europe. COOP grocery is the closest normal grocery but there is also a small grocery down the hill in Baccaiano, about a 10 minute walk (no liquor). And there is a cute winery up the hill the other direction for take-out (no tastings currently due to covid). There are several fun and not expensive restaurants in every direction throughout the various towns. The castle does have wifi but it's a little spotty so I also used data when on site at times, and definitely for traveling about (Waze is the best phone app for driving around, even in Europe). Staff was friendly and helpful, but you really never saw them, nor needed them for anything. You're pretty much on your own. I would recommend also for larger groups....but again, plan your transportation situation bc taxis are prohibitively expensive. Best way to get into Florence BY FAR is by bus from Baccaiano right down the hill....again just a 10 minute walk. Bus schedules available in lobby area at castle. Sundays, the schedules are highly limited, so pay attention.
Excellent
I just spent 6 days at Castle Montegufoni and it was a fabulous 5-star experience! You have to know It is not a hotel ( no room service) - it is truly a real castle, although has totally updated bathrooms.
ps. bring mosquito apartments, so you can also prepare your own things. (why? You're in Italy!!) I stayed in #22, a perfect apt for 2 that overlooks the main courtyard - I loved it. But you can also ask for an apt that overlooks the incredible landscape. There are also apts that aren't in the castle, but on the castle grounds- ask for what you want in size and location, there are choices!
The staff is friendly and helpful and can't do enough for you. They are also helpful in giving suggestions on places to go and see.
The food is clean, fresh from the area and both the food and wine was amazing.
My favorite part is the luscious landscapes you see from anywhere you look.
Walks / runs are something you will experience no where else. You can drive to the small towns and enjoy true Italian living with the locals.
There are interesting and fun vineyards to experience the locals wines, truffles, olive oil, and saffron.
Walk around the castle, the grounds are enormous, and check out all the unusual parts to the castle.
The reception staff isn't there all night, but you have a key to come and go.
Check the hours for the restaurant ( amazing!) , so you can plan when to eat there on the beautiful dining courtyard vs going out and exploring in the nearby nearby towns.
ps. bring mosquito lotion. I'm always chewed up - and I didn't get a single bite with mosquito lotion.
ENJOY- you will LOVE IT!
We had a wonderful 4 night stay for a wedding! The castle staff was friendly and helpful. The grounds are beautiful and the views are fabulous!!. Everything was clean and neat. We loved overlooking the courtyard in our suite. The food was wonderful and was the right temperature even for the number of people we had dining. We were there in early October and it gets chilly in the evenings and overnight, but they don't turn the heat on until a little later. They had good blankets to keep us warm.
We stayed at Castello Montegufoni as part of our honeymoon. The location is nice, in the middle of the Tuscan countryside and the staff are really helpful and speak great English. The restaurant is amazing and as vegans, catered for us really well and we had a lovely evening meal which they set up for us away from everyone else. However a few things really let down this part of the trip for us as honeymooners. We found the room to be a lot darker than the images. There was one tiny window in the corner so you constantly needed the lights on. Felt like we were staying in a larder really, so didn't give us the romantic vibes we wanted at all. The place was fully booked so we couldn't move rooms, although the staff were understanding about it. As self-catering accommodation, take note there's no oven which limited some cooking options, no simple condements like salt, pepper, olive oil. Which would have been useful as you end up having to buy far too much in the shops for the sake of a few days, just to throw out at the end. The most important thing of note is there are LOADS of mosquitoes. We left Tuscany with at least 30+ bites on us and it really disrupted our sleep every night. We did notice a screen over the window but not one small enough to keep tiny mosquitoes out and it was left open when we arrived! I would heavily suggest the Poserelli Villas to invest in mosquito nets over the beds as it's not really something you'd think about coming to the Tuscan countryside for the first time. I'm sure if there had been another room available for us and we were prepared for the mosquitoes it may have been closer to what we were hoping. But on this occasion, the experience could have been better.
Wunderschöne Lage naheliegend zu Florenz sehr idyllisch Super freundliches Personal im hoteleigenen Restaurant
Schöne Lage, traumhaftes Schloss. Leider nicht genug gepflegt und die Wohnungen sehr abgewohnt. Leider auch viele Familien, von Ruhe am Pool keine Spur. Top Restaurant und nette Bedienung. Für zwei Tage mit leichtem Gepäck zu empfehlen
Sehr schöne Location mit gutem Restaurant und ausgezeichnetem Ambiente.
Sehr aufmerksamer und freundlicher Service.
Ottimo soggiorno in un contesto suggestivo e con un ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo
Sehr schönes altes Schloss, schöner Pool, großer Garten, der allerdings etwas gepflegter sein dürfte. Die Wohnung war sehr groß, allerdings dunkel und stickig und nur mäßig sauber. Sehr gutes Restaurant und sehr freundliches, hilfsbereites Personal.
Amazing place, amazing people working there, fantastic nature .. lots of unforgettable moments !!
Castello, piscina,giardini e vista meravigliosa. Ottima accoglienza da parte del personale e del ristorante interno. Posizione eccezionale, unico neo è l’appartamento un po’ troppo datato.
Charmant et typique, un séjour magnifique au cœur de la toscane.
Séjour (15j) dans appartement spacieux du château, traversant cour/jardin. Manque la climatisation (plus de 30°C) le soir à l'intérieur, manque les moustiquaires, cafetière, vaisselle sommaire dans kitchenette basique. Pourrait améliorer service de renseignement des choses à voir dans la région. Restaurant: service très bien, qualité de la nourriture médiocre.
My family and I definitely enjoyed our stay at the Posarelli Villa. The staff was so friendly and helpful, and the location was wonderful.
Le cadre est de toute beauté. Il est agréable de voir que la piscine n'est pas surchargée et que l'on peut s'y reposer. Nous avons regretté l'absence de moustiquaires aux fenêtres et, dans ce lieu, les moustiques vous font vivre un enfer. Nous avions l'un des 3 appartements où les espaces extérieurs (table + fauteuils) sont quasiment côte à côte donc pas d'intimité (nous ne l'avons donc pas utilisé). Les autres appartements bénéficiaient d'un agencement mieux adapté pour profiter de l'extérieur.
The place was amazing and the apartment too. Maybe a bit more or furniture for the kitchen and airfan would be perfect.
Thank you for this stay
The location was absolutely beautiful and the people were so so friendly and kind! ❤️
Tres beau château pour profiter le temps d’un séjour de la vie Toscane
A beautiful castle steeped in history and art with stunning views over the Tuscan hills. The staff are very friendly and helpful. This property is a dream for people looking for culture in a relaxed atmosphere.
The location is not only beautiful with the historic chateau but also ideal for sightseeing in Tuscany. We enjoyed our stay very much.
The hosts are very friendly and helpful.
Our only suggestion is to create a charging facilitation for electric cars since charging in Tuscany is not easy. It would be a great plus to charge overnight at the Chateau.
Majestic castle in the toscanian landscape with a very nice staff
Ist was Besonderes
Das Ambiente mit dem Schloss war wirklich sehr schön, die Unterkunft selbst hätte noch besser instandgehalten und ausgestattet sein können.
We loved the castel, location, environment, decoraties and the view!
There are a few things we missed: to bring our own toilet paper is a bit poor, basic household items like dish soap etc, some basic cooking items salt/pepper, sugar, water etc. And a 24/7 caretaker in the castel would be recommended. One night we were the only guests, the weather was thunderstorms and lightning all night, and the power went out. So is was dark. The emergency lights went on but was exhausted after about 30 minutes. It felt very uncomfortable.
Further we understand the reason why the restaurant was closed and less guests stayed at the castle, but we missed this very much!
Castello immerso nel Chianti. Ottima posizione per girare le città e i castelli del territorio. Abbiamo utilizzato la piscina per rilassarci al rientro delle gite.
Hmm, so I wasn't sure whether to go for 4 or 5 stars.
Good:
Beautiful location
Welcoming staff
Local vineyard to go wine tasting (walking distance)
Spacious rooms
Close to Florence
Great swimming pool
Restaurant (didn't eat but wish I had)
Bad:
Mosquitoes were terrible (anywhere outside any time of day you were at risk of biting). I did inquire and was informed that this was sadly down to lockdown and not being able to spray at the time. Without the mosquitoes, this would definitely have been a 5 star.
Minor niggles:
Dishwasher next to useless - out of salt and rinse aid.
You needed to buy your own bin bags, dishwasher tablets, soap, dish clothes & toilet paper. I'd strongly suggest offering a 1-off pack for this as it's a lot less painful.
The dining area at 1B isn't great. It's tucked in a corner and especially with the mosquitos, it's unusable. The upstairs room also has no curtain so we had to put tin foil up to stop the kids getting up at daybreak.
I guess every apartment has it's benefits and problems though and in general, a great time was had by all (even the mosquitoes).
Tolle Aussicht! Riesen Zimmer, extrem hohe Decken, tolle Wandgemälde....einfach besonders in einem Schloß zu schlafen. Ein toller Ausgangspunkt für Besichtigungen :-)
Viele Kinder am Pool, die ohne Rücksicht ins Wasser springen :-/ Keine Klimaanlage, aber man kommt auch ohne ganz gut klar.
Toller Schloss Fair, super nettes Personal, haben sich um unser Problem sehr schnell gekümmert
Seeblick ist ein weit übertriebener Begriff um ein Appartement ohne Balkon anzupreisen
Magnifique propriété avec situation idéale pour visiter.
Logement correctement équipé avec cuisine fonctionnelle et literie comfortable - malheureusement, problème d'airco qui n'a pu être solutionné pendant notre séjour mais ventilateur mis à disposition
Bon à savoir : Présence importante de moustiques dans la région !
Bellissima struttura, curata e immersa nel verde con splendide viste sul circondario e una bella piscina. Personale molto cordiale. Purtroppo l’aria condizionata nel nostro appartamento non funzionava e non vi erano zampironi/zanzariere per proteggere gli ambienti dalle zanzare. Alla nostra segnalazione Lo staff ha comunque fatto il possibile per risolvere il problema procurando dei ventilatori sostitutivi.
Stunning ancient and historical villa! Beautiful grounds and pool, the apartments are modern and facilities up to date. Our terrace had an amazing view!!
Enjoyable family weekend in Tuscany. The staff was very friendly and helpful!
With young children (ages 2 and 4) we had to be particularly careful that they didn’t hurt themselves or the contents of the villa.
“Diese einzigartige Unterkunft ist eine Reise wert!”
Thank you for this amazing stay at montegufone castle! This was our honeymoon and it couldn’t have been more beautiful. Full of wonderful details, romantic gardens and stunning views on vineyards and the beautiful countryside of Tuscany. It is near by cultural treasures of Florence, San Gimignano and Siena. It was all perfect! Thank you again, Julia”
The Castle is amazing! History buffs wont be disappointed in the charm of the Castle. Everyone is very helpful, staff was lovely and the location to other spots is easy and quick to get to.”
Otroligt fint slott med massa historia. Trevlig och hjälpsam personal. Nära till det mesta att se i vackra Toscana! Vi åkte med våra tre små barn som älskade att vara på Montegufoni.
Beautiful place with a great restaurant and amazing views. Very uncomfortable beds in our rooms, but other than that, we had a great stay
Only the bed was bad, we think it was from medieval times,springs were poking up. This was our second visit to the castle, same room and maybe same bed.
The rest of the accommodation was excellent. We stayed in the room over looking the garden and was beautiful to sit outside. Booking was easy, reception very helpful. Wi-Fi in the reception area for communication with family and uploading pictures was very good signal. Wi-fi also available in the restaurant and even a small spot in our apartment. Pool was clean and refreshing, grounds well kept. It is not a hotel, they do not have maids to clean and you provide your own toiletries. But that is all upfront when you book. It is a rustic castle, lots of stairs and no elevators. Highly recommend the stay.
Séjour très agréable. L’emplacement , le château , l’espace. La literie était moyenne
This was the best Airbnb I've ever stayed at! Honestly this is a hidden gem I would definitely come back!
Great location, with a great view on beautiful Toscana. We had the 1b appartment, so not in the main castle building, close to the nice and big enough swimming pool. The rooms are OK, good shower and bathrooms. Maybe not enough light. Also, there were some marriage events in the castle while we were there, so that the restaurant was closed on some evenings and there was a bit of noise from those events.
Booked this airbnb for a destination wedding, and I was very satisfied with this space. Very spacious and rustic with touches from IKEA and the receptionist was very accommodating and nice. It's a bit on the pricey side but it is at a castle so I guess it evens out. The receptionist provides you with bus schedule which was very helpful. The fan in my room wasn't working so I asked for a replacement which they did right away. Also, make sure to ask for the blow dryer at check-in as they're not in the rooms. Lastly, this space is beautiful but doesn't have AC so keep that in mind if you're booking in middle of the summer.
The castle is a lovely setting in Tuscany. We stayed in the Bastione apartment, which is large and has a lovely private garden sitting area. Be advised it also has a long, spiral staircase leading from the bedroom, to the bath, to the lower level kitchen. Anyone with mobility issues should avoid this apartment.
We stayed here a few nights for a wedding on the property and had a fabulous time! The staff were so nice and polite, the apartment was very spacious with a great patio, and the set up for the wedding was beautiful. The best part was that the views from the back garden are stunning! I would definitely recommend renting a car and coming to stay here.
Très bon accueil, maison impeccable confortable et agréable, le cadre est aussi magnifique
Il Castello è molto caratteristico e in un’ottima posizione. Abbiamo trovato l’appartamento pulito e con tutto il necessario x viverci. personale reception gentile e disponibile. funzionale la piscina. nota negativa la presenza di molte zanzare e l’assenza di zanzariere e aria condizionata con relativa sofferenza notturna.
Après une petite mésaventure avec notre premier appartement (situé au milieu du parking... Et non "à proximité" ....Attention!), la réception a été très agréable a fait tout son possible pour trouver une solution. Nous avons donc intégré un autre appartement (La Torre) qui s'est révélé très agréable, grand et confortable).
Le site et le château sont magnifiques et la piscine agréable.
L'accueil et la communication sont très bons.
Attention aux moustiques l'été...
The eccentric shabby chic atmosphere of medieval castle not to restored But Just enought to be comfortable and pretty. Great Location for the lovers of old historic places with strong caracter. Excellent concept. The owner pays a nice tribute to the past and the memory of the last family that occupied IT. The english excentrics the Sitwells.
We DID not appreciate the Family with Kids occupaying the pool all day long in such a calm and meditative environment.
Our family of five stayed in apartment 18. This was on the second floor overlooking the courtyard. We had a fantastic stay at the castle. Check in was straight forward, we arrived at midday and were taken straight to our apartment. The receptionist was really friendly and helpful, as were all of the staff at the castle and in the restaurant and cafe. The apartment exceeded our expectations and was large enough for all of us. One small point would be to put a better fan in the living room as it was very hot in there at night for my daughter who slept in there.
The pool was fabulous and there were usually beds available even though we were there in August. We loved having a cafe/ bar and restaurant on site. We would thoroughly recommend staying here!
This was a dream stay. I traveled with my husband and our four kids. We all loved it. My teens loved all the photo opps in a castle surrounding by such beauty. My younger kids were mesmerized by the castle and couldn't get enough of the pool. My husband and I loved it all. The cafe was a treat. Best cappuccinos in Italy and the sweetest girl who runs it. There is just enough options for breakfast to not have to go into town. The room itself was VERY SPACIOUS and BEAUTIFUL. We went in early August, so it was a bit warm, but there are fans. SUCH A DELIGHTFUL STAY.
The place was absolutely amazing, very nice area and beautiful old castle.
Our huge apartment was quite unique especially the living room (galleria) was very beautiful. nice rooms with beautiful views and good bathrooms everything in romantic / rustic style. Nice terrasse.
However, some of the furniture was some worn and especially the kitchen and accessories there needed an update (Nice to know that there is no oven and the coffee maker was missing the jug). However, the staff were incredibly sweet to help and very welcoming.
The restaurant was fine too - very nice people there, but the barbeque night was a little sad with the food accessories.
The pool area and garden were very beautiful and relaxing.
Is nicely located (by car) compared to the exciting sights of Firentze, Livorno, Pisa, wine tasting, San giminone etc.
Would highly recommend it, but you should not expect a modern hotel but an atmospheric beautiful old castle you never forget.
This 12th century Castle in Tuscany is beautiful. As a family of 5 with 3 children, we very much enjoyed the beauty of the castle, the grounds and the pool! It's 30 mins from Florence, an hour from Pisa and a great location for exploring Tuscany
Excellent location for exploring the Tuscany region.
Castle has a lot of heritage and plenty around the area to keep entertained
Supert for vår barnefamilie. Ren og ok utstyrt leilighet, bra svømmebasseng, hyggelig vertskap, veldig koselig kafe og restaurant med god mat. Vakre omgivelser, knallfint slott, helt topp!
This place is amazing. What a great setting. I would stay here again in a heartbeat and my son wants to return here to get married! Heads up, If you are counting on WiFi while here to make travel plans you are going to have some trouble.
Beautiful property. Quiet, quaint, convenient. We didn't eat at the restaurant as we were given recommendations at other establishments as a more authentic, local experience.
+/- 40-minute drive to Florence. We drove to a tram station and parked the car and took the tram into the city to avoid parking/traffic in historic Florence.
We did have a few issues that are of note:
The front desk is only attended until 17:00 (5pm), so when we returned our first evening from a day in Florence to a broken A/C unit, the room was almost unbearable and the on-site maintenance man could do nothing. We slept in the heat and terrible bugs/mosquitos with no recourse but 2 small fans. Not great. And A/C costs extra.
You need to "reserve" the one washing machine that is on site. No dryer. The listing wasn't clear about that.
They do not have bikes onsite, they have a phone number for a bike company that can rent them to you (with a day's notice).
It was clean, comfortable. I'd go back, but I would plan differently if the description was a bit more clear.
absolutely beautiful. The location is divine and the apartments were great for our family holiday. A perfect central spot to visit Florence, Siena, Pisa and all the beautiful towns in the Tuscany region.
The apartments whilst clean and comfortable needed a few more things in the kitchen. The washing facilities were not great with one shared washing machine.
The unit we stayed in was beautiful and spacious. The people who were in the office were helpful and courteous. The food was delicious and everyone very friendly. Having a pool with that incredible view was quite a treat in the summer heat. There were many fans to combat the heat (though a few more wouldn't hurt).
Sehr interessante Location die viel Raum zur Entspannung bietet
Participating in a weddi g was a great experience and the castle is very interesting with many places to explore. It is nice to cool down in the pool and it is possible although sometimes a little difficult to get around with a stroller.
The experience would have been better though if the rooms had aircondition. Very difficult to sleep in 30 degrees at night. Although, the rooms have great space and the baths and toilets are very fine.
The restaurant at the castle is not worth it. Better to prepare food yourself or go to other restaurants in bearbejde towns or the hotel up the hill.
Staying at Castello di Montegufoni was a dream come true! The castle is amazing, there is so much to explore. The rooms are comfortable, clean, and have all the appliances needed for an enjoyable stay. We traveled with our two small children and we had everything we needed to feel like home. The staff at Montegufoni were very helpful. They gave us local tips, made dinner and wine tasting reservations, provided us with maps and directions on how to get to different towns around the area. We are already planning our return next year. Thank you for a wonderful time!
Beautiful grounds in a gorgeous Tuscany countryside castle. We enjoyed the pool and exploring the cities of Siena and San Gimignano from the castle. Did not have WiFi in our 3 bedroom apartment
Incredible, would love to go back
Superb stay in an amazing location - stunning castle and great local recommendations. perfect stay!
Lovely location outside of Florence in the Tuscany countryside. Very helpful manager and comfortable accommodations. Beautiful gardens. We enjoyed a great bike ride and meals nearby. Easy access into the city. Good value.
We had a fabulous stay at Castello Montegufoni. The castle is very authentic, but with lots of modern conveniences. The location is a great central point for exploring the beautiful Tuscan countryside and quaint villages and getting to Florence is pretty simple.
The staff are wonderful. The restaurant has a limited menu but has different specials in the evenings. Be aware that it is not open every night, but there are a few great restaurants nearby. We visited the Pizzeria at the bottom of the hill one evening and it was fantastic.
Endroit magique et unique. Quel bel emplacement . WoW
"Nice quiet place to relax and have some quiet time in the Italian countryside. The staff are very helpful.
My family and I had an amazing stay in the Montegufoni 1b apartment. We're already planning our next visit.
Our group enjoyed our stay - lots of character in this property!
Wonderful place to stay. The location is incredible. Little bit chilly in April but very romantic, lovely staff.
You need a car.
Excellent!!! Authentic castle experience! Castle and grounds are beautiful and the entire staff is excellent! We will definitely recommend!
This is a beautiful, well-appointed hotel in a lovely historic castle.
We loved our tower apartment with its own balcony. The main terrace and surrounding gardens are very lovely.
WiFi In the room was weak, but it was OK downstairs and we didn’t really mind!
Beautiful grounds. A few things were not quite as clear as they could have been. Supposed to have cash for a deposit upon arrival. They did take a credit card which would have been fine but had a bit of difficulty finding an atm. Not a huge deal but just a heads up. There is a bus that runs from Florence but we were very happy we had a car. Overall we would stay again in a heartbeat
Lugar muito agradável!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Castillo di Montegufoni! The Valencia and Stefania were incredibly helpful and accommodating and the restaurant was fabulous. We ate in the restaurant three nights during our stay because it was that good! Our group stayed in a 3-bedroom apartment which was charming, clean and comfortable. The grounds are lovely and the castle is close to several very good wineries. I wish I could have stayed longer! I hope to come back next fall.
The apartment was perfect. The area and nature are amazing. We were 4 adults and 2 children. 3 bedrooms suits well for such a big company. We were suprised that heating costs additional money. It was not indicated in our reservation. And it was our first time when heating was included in the cost of apartment. The apartment is situated near by the castle. You can visit the castle while check-in and check-out. Anyway our stay was really nice.
Très bon appartements
Foi uma experiência unica e extraordinária. O Hotel é simplesmente incrível. Os quartos e banheiros confortáveis, novos. Fica próximo de todas as cidades na Toscana. Parabéns e com certeza em nosso retorno , ficaremos hospedados nesse hotel.
We had a great stay for the week in very spacious accommodations. It was a
bit difficult to find the entrance, no light or sign at the entrance. We requested a few items (coffee, wine, cheese, eggs, water, bread etc.) be stocked for our arrival which we found upon arrival (25 Euros fee) well worth it. We did have dinner in the restaurant which was very good. They are not open for breakfast or lunch. The grounds are lovely. We discovered random painted ceilings and statutes around the property that were amazing. This is close to many places, to the town of Lucca (highly would recommend the day trip) Florence and so many vineyards. I would recommend it!
WOW, WOW, WOW! You will pinch yourself when you walk into this room since it's so spectacular. It feels like a dream! Absolutely such a special place to stay and stunning accommodations! Didn't want to leave!!!
Stunning room with incredible views of the Tuscan countryside!
Absolutely stunning room! It was so comfortable and elegant. Montegufoni is a dream come true. What an amazing and magical place to visit. I can't wait to come back again and spend more time here.
Montegufoni was our home for a week and the most fairytale setting for my son’s wedding. Everything was perfect—the accommodations wonderful and the food and service excellent. All around a place we all hope to return to. I can’t imag a more beautiful setting for a wedding.
Very enjoyable. Beautiful rooms, amazing fresco's, good facilities and a top notch restaurant below the castle in the old kitchen.
Montegufoni, a comfortable accommodation in a tranquil place close to Firenze and other attraction of Tuscany. We spent there one week in a charming scenery of the historical building and its peaceful surrounding.
A picture postcard location which you will not be disappointed with. Central location to all amenities and the Chianti wine region. Parking available as it does help to have a car as local shops are a short drive away. Huge apartment with everything you will need but there are approximately 40 stairs to the front door, so those with disabilities or the elderly be aware.
Wir sind begeistert, mit welchem großen Engagement Sie und Ihr Team das fast tausend Jahre alte Schloss erfolgreich erhalten. Das Schloss atmet seine lange Geschichte und hinterlässt unvergeßliche Eindrücke von seiner architektonischen Schönheit.
We really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere of the Castle and our Villa Accioli provided all the space and facilities needed for our guests. The Restaurant was also superb and we enjoyed every meal there.
Bellissimo castello nelle colline toscane, ristorante molto buono con super staff, piscina bella nel giardino e servizio di "pranzo alla piscina" fantastico. Appartamento grande con bagno doccia bello, manca qualche coperto/detersivo/sedia nella cucina perchè sia perfetto. Campagna fantastica d'estate con i vigneti e ulivi !
The castle was incredible! Such a different experience. Don't expect a hotel, it is not a hotel. What you can expect is magnificent views, old school charm and a location that is central to good attractions. We will definitely be back to enjoy the pool, castle gardens and restaurant. Thanks for an amazing stay!
Beautiful setting, nice staff, comfortable apartment!
Excellentes vacances à Montegufoni, cadre somptueux, cohabitation harmonieuse avec les autres hôtes des lieux, accueil agréable, belle piscine. On recommande chaudement. Seul hic, le logement sous les toits était très chaud (pas de ventilateur) et l'équipement (vaisselle) un peu court.
A gorgeous setting And very historic place to stay. Well located for Florence and Siena. Lots to do in the area including cycling, restaurants and wineries. Friendly staff, good restaurant. A great place to spend a week. The website does say no cooking oil or salt and pepper provided. Worth taking small supply and washing up liquid with you or booking into the restaurant for your first night. Wonderful holiday. "
Excellent séjour en famille au Château de Montegufoni sItué à proximité de Florence et des autres sites. Piscine très agréable. Appartement spacieux. Restaurant testé et approuvé
Mooi gerenoveerd appartement, net buiten het kasteel. Wij hebben 2 dagen genoten van het verblijf tijdens ons 50-jarig huwelijksfeest.
Bel appartamento fuori il castello!
Zag er netjes en schoon uit.
Fijn appartement aan de buitenkant van het kasteel.
Castle is in beautiful setting with stunning views. It was a pleasure to revisit for the third time such a historic building.
We rented a villa for a family reunion and enjoyed a fabulous holiday. We found the staff pleasant and helpful. The apartment was well equipped and the amenities much better than at a hotel for our group of 8. Such a lovely experience in the midst of Tuscany surrounded by million dollar views will be difficult to duplicate. The property os well taken care of and wandering in the garden leaves one dreaming of how many eyes viewed the beauty of it all in the past. We loved how the property was located, not far from a couple of small villages to acquire basic groceries and serve as a great base for farther excursions to Florence and Pisa. Even without daily maid service, we felt like we had an opportunity to leave like royals and absolutely loved every day!
Das Schloss ist sehr stilvoll, landschaftlich wunderschön gelegen und auch verkehrstechnisch gut angebunden (Florenz mit dem Bus erreichbar, kleine Einkaufsgelegenheiten auch zu Fuß). Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, Wohnung und Anlage sauber und gepflegt. Die Ausstattung in der Wohnung war eher einfach, bot aber alles Notwendige. Wir waren sehr zufrieden.
Die Anlage ist großartig, das Zimmer ist sehr spatanisch eingerichtet aber sehr urig schön (etwas hellhörig). Die Lage ist gut. Wir können unser Zimmer weiterempfehlen.
I spent three days with my friends in the excellent location -Castello di Montegufoni. The atmosphere of antiquity and the beautiful scenery. This place is worth visiting.
My family stayed at Montegufoni for 5 days in May and it was excellent! The apartment was spacious and comfortable, and the staff were helpful. The food at the restaurant was wonderful too. I would stay here again! Such a beautiful location and lovely old castle.
Sandra
le cadre général est très agréable et permet de découvrir la Toscane dans ses diverses facettes
This location is spectacular! It's wonderful to stay in such a historically important and impressive castle. Our apt was well appointed and the staff is very friendly and on hand. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the castle. Just wonderful.
Fue la mejor parte de nuestra estancia en Italia. Te puedes mover fácilmente en toda la Toscana. Nos sentimos en casa.
The apartment was panoramic, spacious and very clean. A perfect base to explore the surrounding area. The staff was very helpful. Highly recommended!
Great location in a wonderful part of Italy. Easy to reach Florence and Siena by car. Good market and restaurant in Montespertoli.
Stefania and Paola were very helpful.
We loved our stay! A truly wonderful location and a very affordable price. The rooms are apartments, so do not forget to do a little "grocery shopping on the way in. We would recommend at least 7 days at this location to be able to visit Florence and enjoy the surrounding area. Ask the wonderful staff for suggestions and directions.
Beautiful
We (our family of five) had a very relaxing stay. We had a car to explore area: there are so many beautiful spots to explore. The huge living room with frescoed ceilings was fantastic and the Italian garden just outside was amazing. Our kids absolutely loved the use of the pool. Many thanks to Possarelli family for their ospitality.
What a beautiful place to kick back and enjoy Italy! Everyone was so nice and helpful and couldn't have asked for a better location.
We enjoyed very much our stay at Montegufoni. Stefania was really kind and we appreciated her hospitality. Very good dinners at Il Ristorantino. We stayed in the apartment Galleria for a week and it was a beautiful experience. During our stay we booked a wine tasting and we visited the Uffizi + Accademia. We highly recommend this place.
Eine sehr reizvolle Unterkunft (La Grotta-Appartement) in toller, zentraler Lage mit ein paar kleinen Schönheitsfehlern.
A wonderful place with a magical atmosphere, pleasant people. Restaurant is great, the dinner was fantastic.
A wonderful place with a magical atmosphere, pleasant people. Restaurant is great, the dinner was fantastic.
Montegufoni is an amazing placce to stay. Everything about it is amazing, the property , the location, countryside. We had a wonderful time and booked again for next year before leaving.
Beautiful spot - everything was as expected and the hospitality was outstanding. Location is perfect for touring around the Florence area.
Appartement très grand, fonctionnel et très agréable.
Location tranquilla e romantica a due passi dalle principali città.
Appartamento spazioso anche per un gruppo di 8 persone e ben attrezzato; personale disponibile.
Splendida struttura in ottima posizione. Servizi ottimi e massima cortesia e disponibilità.
Le logement est agréable, bien situé et bien équipé, le cadre est magnifique. Seul bémol, au mois d'avril, il y faisait froid.
absolutely fantastic mansion in tuscany hills. romantic hideaway, great views with pool, generous space and a parking area
Wonderful location, excellent construction, impeccable organization, spotless spaces.
Luogo bellissimo: da non perdere!
Sehr romantisch, nettes Personal traumhaft schön gelegen
Wonderful experience at the castle. We really enjoyed our stay here and it was absolutely a highlight of our holiday. If you are staying here though, renting a car is a must. It was very difficult to get around anywhere. We did hire ebikes which was loads of fun, however a car would've been much better!
Unique location to explore
Tuscany and Firenze area, charming property
Lovely location, plenty of parking, near to Florence, within reasonable drive of Pisa. Good restaurant.
Very nice villa with enough room for a larger group. Castle amenities were a big plus - concierge services, good food at the restaurant.
Better than expected.
The people managing this location were excellent with all the assistance you could ever require. Their maintenance man even rescued a valued ring that slipped off a finger and went down the drain, by taking apart the drain to retrieve it.
The food in the restaurant is exactly what you would expect from a restaurant in this area. We ate at many local places and all were top notch.
Our room (La Grotta) was even more spectacular than expected. Not only would I recommend this place, but I have since convinced some friends to stay here and also in the area since our experience was more than expected.
The site is very nice with a spectacular, very calm and very well placed paisaja
Nous garderons un excellent souvenir de notre séjour en famille dans ce château. L'accueil est sympathique, l'endroit est magnifique, notre appartement (N°30) était spacieux, bien aménagé,très propre, décoré avec goût et la vue splendide. La piscine est un lieu agréable, le jardin qui l'entoure permet de trouver de l'ombre quand le soleil tape vraiment fort.
On trouve également sur place un restaurant et un bar, des terrasses, une buanderie, un espace wifi.
Idéalement situé pour visiter Sienne, Florence, Pise.
Vielen Dank für den wundervollen Urlaub im Schloss Montegufoni. Die Zimmer waren gross gut ausgestattet und sehr sauber. Der Charme des Gebäudes erhöht die Erholung noch. Im Sommer ist der Pool sehr gut zu nutzen.
Vielen Dank für die tollen Tage .
Beautiful location, perfect appartment, friendly reception, the pool is great and the restaurant is wonderful and a great extra as well.
Fantastic setting, appartment is magnificient and out of this world (La Galleria).We will come back.
Nous avons passé une semaine très agréable au château.
Le cadre est magnifique et reposant et la piscine agréable.
Notre villa était spacieuse.
Les salles de bains sont un peu étroites mais très propres.
Dommage que la climatisation ne soit pas prévue car il est impossible d'ouvrir les fenêtres à cause des moustiques.
La région est magnifique, à proximité de San Gimignano, Sienne et bien sûr Florence où il est très pratique de se rendre en bus.
Vous trouverez des commerces dans les villages de proximité, les commerçants sont très accueillants.
We went in April and the out of season service is minimal (no bar, restaurant, limited reception opening time). WIFI coverage should be improved and extended (ideally in the rooms). BUT this is a charming location, Giuseppe and the receptionist were very helpful, very authentic Tuscan feel about the place. It is not luxury, but an excellent place to relax and enjoy this beautiful area. We used to come to Montegufoni 30 years ago and we're glad to find it had not been spoiled.
We have a wonderful stay at the Castello, and will most certainly be back! The apartment was beautiful (a little bit cold - but the staff put heating on at our request!)
Staff were wonderful, grounds were beautiful, meals were delicious. 10/10!
It was a worth remembering experience living in a, so nicely preserved, castello. The apartment was really comfortable and nicely decorated.we really enjoyed every moment in the balcony, admiring the picturesque tuscanian scenery. The pool and exploring the castle was a real joy for our kid.
Très bon accueil et un logement vraiment à la hauteur de nos attentes. Le chateau est très sympa, la situation en Toscane permet de rayonner facilement dans toute cette magnifique région.
Sjarmerende historisk slott. Fine omgivelser og fin atmosfære
Beautiful scenery and atmosphere. Apartments of high standard. Internet not so good. Food in restaurant was ok. Good service.
wonderful estate with a magnificent view, everything was perfect and we enjoyed our stay very much. pretty litte italian town (Montespertoli) very near (about 5 minutes by car). gives you the chance to feel like a nobelman visiting his/her summer palace for once in your life (just in case you have no castel of your own ;-)
Very nice place. Our apartment was well maintained. Many mosquitos however but this would probably have been the case everywhere else in Tuscany.
Beautiful surroundings, local facilities could need slightly, improvements, apartment clean and nice, aircon should be included in rental fee
Les personnels de l'accueil et du restaurant nous ont très bien reçu et informé. Les infrastructures sont très bien entretenues, propres et le site est très calme et bien situé pour visiter le Chianti. Merci à tout le personnel pour sa gentillesse.
Lovely experience staying in castle, able to catch bus to Florence. Room felt damp.
Room was comfortable and lots of space. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Food in the restaurant was great.
