With the family we stayed a week in Castel Monastero. Very disappointing. They would not allow children in the Spa even when the hotel was almost empty. Only one restaurant was open, the other "was not worth opening". I was very difficult to get any drink in the bar. Room was ok but not up to a 5 star standard!... More

A secluded location, an hour and 20 minutes drive from Florence (nearest international airport), ideal for short stays and for those passionate about wine tasting. The nearest city is a 20 minute taxi ride, which of, course, comes at a price. The SPA is very much weight loss focused - unless visiting in the hot summer months, the outdoor pools... More

We spent our honeymoon here in April, 2013. The weather was perfect. We drove from Florence, which was quite a challenge as we were not prepared for roads that are not labeled as they are in the US. We even had a GPS and still had quite a difficult time finding the resort. Despite this, the views through Chianti were... More

Once a country monastery now a luxury spa/hotel in the Tuscan countryside. After a wonderful stay in Florence we looked forward to relaxing in the hills of Tuscany. Castel Monastero offered just the experience we were looking for. The hillside property was one of the most beautiful we had ever encountered in our travels. It was like being in our... More

The spa...top notch. But more importantly, at least in my view, the staff was exceptional. We had a small issue logging... More

Spent three fabulous days at the Castel Monastero. Beautiful setting, excellent food, wine, service. The staff was absolutely wonderful, friendly, attentive. Made us feel as if we were the most important people at the Hotel. Easy taxi ride to Siena. Great Spa services. Amazing views.

Restaurant for lunch and dinner with excellent food, wine and service. Breakfast managed by Francesca was really good. The hotel is really nice with a beautiful spa and an amazing view. It is very to travel to different cities in Toscana from the hotel.

Spent 3 days at the lovely Castel Monastero in early April. We were blessed with excellent weather so everything seemed so much brighter. Service was impeccable and the hotel and spa staff couldn't have been more professional or more friendly. Our room was a bit odd (it seems that all the rooms are different) as we did not have a...

Spent 4 days here and it was amazing. We got lost on the way there and staff helped us with guidance on the phone. They also gave free upgrade to lift our mood. food in the restaurant was great. Book Ramsay restaurant well in advance if you want fancy, otherwise downstairs restaurant is your only choice. Spa is probably one... More
