Castello Banfi is the epitome of what Americans dream of Tuscany being. The accomodations were charming and gracious (complimentary beverages and snacks) and the site couldn't have been more romantic. Our room was spacious with a view from every window, which was particularly entertaining during an evening thunderstorm. We dined at the restaurant on site and were delighted with our... more

Il Borgo was everything we expected and more! From check-in through check-out, the staff was gracious, helpful and professional. The rooms were great: spacious, comfortable, clean, wonderful linens, exceptional wine, and great views!! We enjoyed it all - fabulous meals, delicious wine tastings, the glass museum, and relaxing by the pool and the rose garden, both with incredible views of... more

I can't even begin to describe what an incredible place this is. The setting was breathtaking, the food was excellent and the suite we had was immaculate!! We spent 12 days in Italy but only 2 at IlBorgo. Had I know it was so spectacular, I would have spent more time. I will definately be returning. more

One of the most beautiful places I ever stayed. It is not only a beatiful hotel but it really takes you back in time. The castle is just incredible, you feel like you are in a movie. We also took the wine tour with the 5 course lunch, what a wonderful time. The staff is super friendly and they really... more

This was the last place we visited as part of our honeymoon, and it was by far the best. The hotel was secluded, intimate, and had great staff. You are free to either enjoy the nearby grounds, or to explore all that the region has to offer. If exploring, a car is a must. The hotel itself was spotless, comfortable,... more

Il Borgo at Castello Banfi was exactly what we needed after our 2 week trek through Italy. The surrounding vineyards are beautiful and the staff was absolutely wonderful. The only bummer about our stay there.... was that it was only 1 night. Looking back at our trip, we wished that we could have stayed another night or two. Would highly... more

The Castello Banfi is in a league of its own. Nowhere else can you combine beautiful grounds, top notch service, outstanding wine, phenomenal food and luxury living all in one place. It was by far the highlight of our two week long trip to Italy. Also, while in Montalcino, be sure to take the tour of the nearby Poggio Antico... more

Stayed here for our honeymoon back in July and have been meaning to write a review. Amazing hotel which was an 11th century castle converted into a luxury hotel room. We stayed in a suite (highly recommend) and had a 5 course wine tasting meal included in our rate. Rented bikes and rode around the massive 7,000 acre vineyard. Did... more

Delightful accommodations at Il Borgo and wonderful food at La Taverna, in an unbelievable setting. Castello Banfi is a 12th century castle perched on a high hill surrounded by seemingly endless vineyards and olive groves. It's a very quiet, romantic getaway spot. A couple of reviewers seem not to have done their homework before they booked. But if you want... more
