I don't know where to start: with the friendliness of the staff, the amazing views from any room, the spectacular suites overlooking the glossy green hills of Tuscan vineyards, the fabulous massages in the spa, the wonderful warm water from both indoor and exterior pools coming directly from the thermal spring underneath the castle? I came here for a surprise... More

This review is only for their customer service. The hotel is very nice and beautifully situated (although difficult to find and a bit outside of Montalcino)- they just need to work on their customer service. While we were checking out, one of our luggage bags was damaged (a handle was broken, which rendered the expensive luggage totally useless and ultimately... More

The pools and the spa were incredible. We ate lunch a few times in the pool bar and it was fine, nothing special. The room was spacious and comfortable. We were there in August and it was super hot, but the a/c in the room worked perfectly. The breakfast was very good (fresh fruits and yogurts, tons of baked goods,... More

I definitely could not expect more! It was exactly what I was looking for! After browsing and browsing through the top-luxury and non-top-luxury castles & medieval villages in the Montalcino area I picked Castello di Velona.

It was a bit of... More

We spent three weeks in Italy last year and stumbled upon this hotel while driving around Tuscany. This year we went back and stayed there three days. This castle is visible from a distance, as it sits on top of a hill overlooking the countryside. As beautiful as it is during the daytime, at night when it is lit up,... More

We had a lovely stay at Castello di Velona. The staff was friendly and very helpful before and during our stay, emailing us wineries prior to arrival for planning and making reservations for us as well as, offering advice while we were there. The views are spectacular, it was one of 3 original lookout towers in the area and you... More

With jaw dropping views this castle was our favorite stay in Tuscany. The floors and walls are covered in Tavertine. The addition of the spa rooms three years ago has made this place a 5 star resort with infinity pools and numerous spa treatments and steam and saunas. The restaurant is a bit austere but the service is friendly and... More
