Book a hotel near Castello Banfi, Montalcino

"Spectacular is the only word for it !"

"This was a beautifully designed and appointed home with lots of outdoor space for walking (and enjoying the pool in the summer). Davide who manages the house was welcoming and explained all of the aspects of the home to us upon our arrival. The house was incredibly comfortable and clean. The surrounding vineyard were stunning and the house provided plenty of outdoor vantage points to enjoy this. Two areas to consider with this home. The kitchen area has two beautiful windows/doors for natural light but the sink area was dark. Also, this home is located approximately 15 minutes outside of Montalcino so arriving before dark is advised. The owners provided a sampling of their wine and a welcome basket (along with eggs, milk, juice, pasta and sauce), which was lovely and then also had a a full complement of their wines for us to purchase and drink during our stay. We loved this as it allowed us to try out a few wines from their label during our stay with ease. Last, if arriving home after a long day of touring, the home is well equipped for cooking dinner at home (or arranging dinner with Chef Francesco who was wonderful!) with a full set of pots and pans, a grill and all of the dish ware needed for a full dinner. We enjoyed dinner with Chef Francesco on our first night and ate at home two other nights to avoid going back out after long days of sightseeing and visiting wineries. Great option for families. We would definitely return!"

"We had three nights here following a wedding in Umbria. It was breathtaking. The scenery is more than I ever expected and the peacefulness was just what we needed. You do need a car as it is in the middle of nowhere. The room that we stayed in which was a Superior Double Room was very clean and modern. The bed and linens were incredibly comfortable. The one thing I did miss in the room were the facilities to put toiletries etc as there are no shelves etc anywhere in the room or bathroom so the room ends up looking a bit of a shambles if you carry lots of toiletries, hair products etc. The swimming pool is beautiful with idylic views. There are only two places for shade however, and as these were both occupied we did not stay too long there. Also the sunbeds themselves were not comfortable, I think for the price of the hotel which is luxury better sunbeds would be supplied. I would thoroughly recommend this hotel though for a bit of luxury and relaxation and would stay there again should we be in that particular area."

"We loved this place. Beautiful pool, facilities and views"
