My husband and I just celebrated our 20th anniversary at Castello Banfi. I must say, it is the best hotel I have ever stayed in. Gorgeous scenery, beautiful rooms and incredible service. They could not have done anything more to enhance our visit to Tuscany! It is an extremely quiet place, rarely more than 5 or 6 people walking around.... more

I stayed at il Borgo this past July. It was absolutely incredible; where do I begin? First, if you want to find yourself in a Tuscan postcard, this is the spot. The hotel is situated on a mountaintop overlooking the countryside. It's hard to believe a place could be so beautiful. We found the service to be great; they were... more

It just doesn't get any better than Il Borgo at Castello Banfi. A spectacular renovation of very old buildings resulting in the MOST confortable, most beautifully decorated, and beautifully appointed rooms. The hotel was so special that we spent one day lazing around the pool and the property. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff. They set up a... more

We booked this hotel after reading the Wine Spectator article about it and the Banfi estate. It is not in Montalcino, but we found an Information Board just outside the town that connects by phone to the hotels. They directed us from there. It is about a 20 minute drive from Montalcino. The small hamlet that sits right outside the... more

We stayed at Castello Banfi's hotel village Il Borgo for our honeymoon in April 2008 and enjoyed a week of undivided care and attention. We booked directly through their website and received prompt and personal assistance right from the start. The whole place is every bit as lovely as the brilliantly crafted website shows. The Florus room (we chose a... more

The rooms do not have balconies, so although each offers a great view of the beautiful tuscan countryside, you have to look through small standard 2x5 windows to see it. So in other words, there really is not much of a view if you are sitting your room. We had a few problems during our stay which I will call... more

Spent three night in fall 08. If you're looking for a quiet romantic and scenery that is totally stunning then this is the place. I travel a great deal and have been to many of the great hotels this world has to offer, but the rooos at Castello Banfi are by far the best. What do expect from a hotel... more

We spent four days at Banfi in September. The location and setting of the property are amongst the best we have ever experienced anywhere in the world. The staff and the quality of the rooms were also exceptional. However, whilst agreeing with most of the superlatives posted regarding the location and facilities, we do have a couple of minor criticisms... more

My husband and I stayed for 2 nights in May. It is beautiful, quiet and well off the beaten track. We enjoyed the wine tour (although it's the only wine tour i've been on that doesn't include free tastings....) Our room came with several complementary bottles of wine, which we enjoyed. It is a drive to go anywhere for dinner,... more
