CastelloBanfi Il Borgo, Luxury Retreat in Montalcino Italy
Growing up as a devoted history lover, I have always daydreamed about living in a castle. I used to recreate that magical word in my phantasy, populated with vassals and fortune tellers, with dames and cavaliers.

This summer, my stay at the beautiful Tuscan resort CastelloBanfi Il Borgo in Montalcino, Italy gave me the chance to turn this dream into reality.
Ambra Castello Banfi 2
This beautiful property is set in an ancient stone hamlet that was built in the 1700 sunder the protective walls of the 13th Century Castle “Castelloalle Mura”. What was once used as a dwelling for farmers who toiled with their noble landowners has today been restyled into the luxurious rooms and suites of this jewel of Tuscan hospitality.

While the architectural style remained unchanged and very authentic, the interior was renovated with modern comforts, premium fabrics and exclusive accessories.

dream of living in a castle
We were so lucky to stay in one of their exclusive 14 rooms, surrounded by history, vineyards and olive groves.

CastelloBanfiilBorgo is truly a place of peace and serenity.Enjoying breakfast or “aperitivo” at sunset from the infinity pool that over looks immense stretches of Brunello vines is simply good for the soul.

But wait until you witness the most delectable gastronomic experience at “Taverna”, one of the two epic restaurants on property. That’s the ultimate experience to please all of your senses!

"We recently stayed here and absolutely fell in love. The staff are all very friendly and the room was beautiful, with antique Tuscan furniture pieces to enhance the overall feel. The views and grounds are absolutely stunning with plenty of pathways to explore. We basically spent one full day relaxing by the 2 pools that overlook the countryside - doesn’t get much better than that. The breakfast is a lovely buffet, with takeaway lunch available. We dined at the restaurant for dinner twice during...

Castello di Velona Resort Thermal SPA & Winery

10/10 Excellent

"We had the most amazing stay at Castello di Velona. The staff was top notch. The facilities are breathtaking. "

Capanna Suites

10/10 Excellent

"The property is gorgeous, well kept, and is very clean. The rooms are very large. Staff is great and speaks fluent English, they really want you to have the best time. The one hour free at the spa is amazing and so relaxing. Pool is a little cold but perfect on a hot Tuscan day. We did not eat at the restaurant but the breakfast was nice. The hotel is very close to everything. Really should be a 4 or 5 star hotel. "

Podere Montale Il Borgo

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay! Beautiful property, excellent staff in all roles. Very friendly and helpful. We also did the aperitif and olive oil tours at the winery. Breakfast and dinner were delicious! And again very friendly staff. The only thing we missed was an air conditioner in our room. June was already very hot. Other than that it was amazing! We would return to this property in the future."

Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco

10/10 Excellent

"Peaceful, Relaxing Stay in Tuscany We had a great experience here. The setting is quiet and secluded—felt like a true escape from everyday life. The golf was excellent, the food was consistently good, and the service was friendly and professional. It is remote, which adds to the charm, but just a heads-up: if you need anything like Advil or small essentials, the nearest town is about 20 minutes away on a dirt road. Overall, everything was well done. We’d absolutely come back."
