Castello Banfi, Tuscany

Description: Castello Banfi

Surrounded by its own vineyards and olive groves, Castello Banfi is located a short distance from Montalcino, and is situated within an ancient stone hamlet founded in the 1700s in the shade of the spectactular walls and towers of the Castello di Poggio alle Mura. Castello Banfi is a luxury boutique hotel, providing exclusive accommodation, fine cuisine and fabulous wines in a magnificent heritage setting.

Ideally placed for exploring this beautiful corner of the Tuscan countryside, Castello Banfi is a twenty minute drive from Montalcino, and less than an hour from Siena. Perched on the top of a hillside, Castello Banfi offers fabulous views from many of its rooms and suites, along with its splendid public rooms, gardens and swimming pool. On site, Castello Banfi organises horse riding, bike tours and hot-air ballooning, along with wine tastings and vineyard tours, art experiences and in-room spa services.

Castello Banfi has two fine dining venues: La Taverna, which serves lunch based on the traditional dishes of Montalcino and Tuscany under the spectacular vaults of the former cellars of the castle, while La Sala dei Grappoli serves traditional Italian and Mediterranean cuisine with a modern touch, accompanied by outstanding Banfi wines. La Enoteca recreates the atmosphere of a true Tuscan wine shop, and offers the Poggio alle Mura estate wines, olive oil, and locally sourced artisan and ecological produce.
