Right in the middle of italian Tuscany (la Toscana) not far away from the ancient Montalcino city, is located Castello Banfi (Castello di Poggio alle Mura) where we stayed three nights. We were in one of the just 14 rooms it has, number 15, named Excelsus. An appartment with bedroom living room and two enormous bathrooms (each the size of... More

We had the most amazing visit at Castello Banfi. We highly recommend doing the tasting dinner at the restaurant, they match wonderful wines with delicious dishes. The tour of the Banfi winery was also great, and the wine tasting. The staff was stupendious, answered all our questions, arranged visits to other wineries, dinners, and day trips. There is tea at...

We didn't want to leave Castelllo Banfi. What a wonderful, peaceful place. A perfect location to return after daily road trips to villages and hilltop towns. Every morning we took long walks along the vineyards - discovering a hidden old farmhouse, lakes and a friendly donkey. We found the staff very helpful and courteous and the restaurant was excellent.

Everything at Castello Banfi is done with the comfort of the guests in mind. The design and decoration of the rooms is beautiful, and it all retains the character of Tuscany - we absolutely loved it. We strolled around the grounds, visited the glass museum, and relaxed in the reading room. Everything was perfect. We did the tasting menu in... More

We loved Castello Banfi. We stayed four nights at the beginning of a three week holiday in Italy. Our room number 37 "Principessa", was a free standing building with a large bedroom, separate sitting room with table and chairs and a very spacious bathroom ( shower only). The bedroom and bath had large windows with beautiful views of the valley... More

Great place, fantastic property. We stayed in the Florus room and it was one of the best hotel rooms we have stayed in. Castello Banfi is hedonistic luxury. The ambience is great, the views are superb, the restaurant classy and of course - wines, wines and more wines. The tasting experience was very good and we found some real good... More

While many reviewers have lauded the setting, the service and the wine - all of which are superb - our fondest memory of Castello Banfi will always be the hours we spent cooking with Chef Samuele Scinardo. His cuisine is delightful in the restaurant, but his delightful, patient personality makes even the clumsiest cook achieve greatness. He guided us through... More
