If you are looking for the peacefull side and the beauty of Tuscany, within a great historical location... facing the Amiata Mount and surrounded by Brunello vineyards... this is the place. Great views, exclusive location, great services... Enjoy your stay...

Brave are the people who in 1997 decided to create a hotel of the old semi-ruined castle. Breath taking views, spacios rooms, unusual layout, magnificent swiming pools with thermal water, and many other attractive things not seen due to a very short stay in this very nice place.

After a very busy trip around Italy, our 3 days here were just what the doctor ordered for relaxing. The hotel is a masterpiece of combining the old with the new. You could hardly tell where the old castle stopped and the new started. The staff went out of their way to make us feel as if we were at... More

If you are going to drop a few extra $ on five star, do it here!!!!! The value for money is excellent. There are very few hotels that would compare with regard to location.

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. Not only it met my expectations, but it completely exceeded them! I will definitely go back! Hope soon because places like these are a... More

We first saw Castello di Velona in what photographers call the "golden hour" when the setting sun gives near perfect light. It was a vision of beauty high on a hill with the setting sun lending a golden hue to the cream coloured marble. It was gorgeous. The front entrance and reception enhanced the illusion. It was a bit of... More
