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.

"This property is several kilometers up a gravel road from Murlo, Italy. The road is okay but we got a little concerned after it had been raining for a while. The property is remote and near several hiking paths. It is great for people who want to get out and hike around the hills of Italy. The gardens are really nice. We would have spent more time outside if the weather had cooperated more. We went in the fall so it was getting a little cooler up in the hills. There was a nice fireplace that...

"Die Anreise war problemlos, da der Besitzer Massimo schon vorab den Standort geschickt hat, außerdem gibt er während des Aufenthalts immer wieder Tipps für Ausflüge. Bei der Ankunft wurden wir herzlich empfangen und uns alles wissenswerte über das Haus erklärt. Das Haus und der Garten ist super, wir und unser Hund haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Wir können es nur weiter empfehlen, ein optimaler Ausgangspunkt um die südliche Toskana zu erkunden. Nochmals 1000 Dank! Liebe Grüße Dani, Nicole und...

"Quaint apartment, with enough amenities for a great six day stay! The parking is a little tough, but the location and views are fabulous. The pellet stove needs to have directions for the renter when it is cooler weather. I would definitely say again. Francesco was great and helped me with a lot of questions!:)"

"The tower was a perfect place for our trip to Tuscany! It had a ton of space with a full kitchen and living room. The town it is located in is fantastic. There is a small grocery store, a pizza place, and a fantastic restaurant where two people can get a delicious meal and drinks for about €30 all within walking distance. You can easily drive from the tower to Siena, Florence, Montalcino, Montepulciano, and I'm sure many other places that we didn't have time to get to. Sauro was a great host and...

"We verbleven met 2 gezinnen in de 2 huisjes. Huisjes, 1 authentiek Toscaans en 1 nieuw huisje met gezamenlijk zwembad. Sfeer is heel fijn, eigenaar is zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Hij zorgt er voor dat we ons meteen welkom voelden. Prachtig uitzicht op het Toscaanse landschap. Lekker eten in het locale restaurant van Linda. Voor boodschappen of verkennen van de omgeving is veel tijd nodig, gezien de locatie ver van de bewoonde wereld af ligt. Met de auto is het prima te berijden. Rome bezocht...

"Die Anfahrts Beschreibung zur Wohnung war etwas schwierig.Der Empfang durch Virginia war sehr freundlich, und die Einweiszng zur Wohnung war ausführlich. Die Lage der Wohnung ideal gleich neben einer wenig befahrenen Nebenstrasse. So gut wie keine Lärmbelästigung.Wunderschöner Garten mit toller Möbelausstattung. Die Küche klein ,aber alles vorhanden . was man zum kochen braucht. Alle Geräte funktionierten. Das Schlafzimmer sehr schön mit den Natursteinwänden, etwas klein , aber wir haben...

"This property in near everything we wanted to see yet far away from the busy tourist areas. Everything we wanted to see was a short drive away. At the end of the day we could retreat back to our villa and relax and get a good nights rest. Carine was a real sweetheart and very responsive. "

"Wir haben die alleinlage genossen und uns gut erholt. Das Haus ist sehr liebevoll und komplett eingerichtet, man fühlt sich direkt wohl. Die anfänglichen Probleme mit dem Internet, wurden sofort von einem Techniker behoben. Die Lage am Waldrand, bietet die Möglichkeit für schöne Wanderungen und Sparziergänge mit dem Hund. Das Kieswerk hat uns nicht gestört."

"Lovely spot to be in the middle of this lovely village."

"Great property but very difficult to find as the google pin was dropped in the wrong location. We had to download an app to then use the GPS co-ordinates which were given to us. made it very stressful as it was near midnight with a"

"We enjoyed delicious food, vino, good company with a nice view. The pool was amazing. Great weekend"

"We were six family members aging from four years old up to 74 years old and had the time of our lives at this house! Thiago was beyond helpful and answered my WhatsApp messages throughout the whole time. We were there with various questions we adored Pienza, which was only a two minute drive away and spent quite a bit of time there. We also took day trips to Montalcino and Montepulciano. We loved and used the hot tub room more than a few times. The scenery and sunsets were incredible. Seriously...

"Es war ein traumhafter Urlaub in einer fantastischen Umgebung. Der riesige Pool lässt keine Wünsche offen. Auch der Grillplatz mit dem schönen Pizzahaus ist einfach nur traumhaft schön. Perfekt um die toskanischen Sonnenuntergänge zu genießen. Die Grillen bzw. Zikaden geben dazu ein tolles Konzert. Die Casa Lola hat alles was man für einen entspannten Urlaub braucht. Man taucht in eine wunderschöne Landschaft mit sehr freundlichen Menschen ein. Luciano und Daniela sind absolut herzlich und immer...

"We spent 2 weeks in this gorgeous country house. Day trips to villages, wineries, gorgeous scenery… absolutely top notch. The host and his wife are super helpful."

"First, this property is in a beautiful location with incredible views of the Val D'Orcia! What they don't tell you in the description is that the road to get to the house is a very steep dirt road with ruts. It's passable and that's why the great views, but just be aware. Also, the check in process was very poorly explained. They tell you to go to an address (they gave us the incorrect street #) that is within the walled city of San Quirico. You must park outside the walls and walk in to the...
